Long Hast Thou Wept and Sorrowed
Author: Meta Heusser-Schweizer Hymnal: HOoS1926 #183 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Tune Title: ACH BLEIB MIT DEINER GNADE. (CHRISTUS DER IST MEIN LEBEN.) Lyrics: 1 Long hast thou wept and sorrowed,
Poor mourner, dry thy tears;
Behold, with light and comfort,
The Lord Himself appears.
2 "Trust in My mercy ever,
My people!" saith the Lord.
Hold fast, in deepest sorrow,
That soul-sustaining Word.
3 Then rest, sad heart, in patience,
With this petition still,
"Lord, all these vacant places
With Thine own fullness fill!"

Long Hast Thou Wept and Sorrowed
Alas, My God! My Sins Are Great
Author: Martin Rutelius; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HOoS1926 #411 (1926) Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great,
My conscience doth upbraid me;
And now I find that at my strait
No man hath pow'r to aid me.
2 And fled I hence in my despair,
In some lone spot to hide me,
My griefs would still be with me there,
And peace still be denied me.
3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught,
Yet pity and restore me;
Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot:
Thy Son hath suffered for me.
4 If pain and woe must follow sin,
Then be my path still rougher;
Here spare me not; if heaven I win,
On earth I gladly suffer.
5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt,
Make Thou my patience firmer,
For they must miss the good Thou wilt,
Who at Thy chastenings murmur.
6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee,
Thy grace will help me bear it,
If but at last I see Thy rest
And with my Saviour share it.
7 The Father, Son, upon one throne,
And Holy Ghost together,
Receive my prayer, and let me share
Thy grace and truth forever.
Amen.

Alas, My God! My Sins Are Great
I Know in Whom I Trust
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Hymnal: HOoS1926 #434 (1926) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Tune Title: ACH JESU, DESSEN TREU Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust
When guilt of sin oppresses,
When anguish and remorse
My burdened soul distresses;
I come before Thy throne,
O God, in Jesus' Name;
Thy mercy, love, and truth
Forever are the same.
2 I know in Whom I trust
When, troubled and dejected,
I lack the strength to go
The way of God selected'
To Jesus then I pray
With a repentant mind,
And strength of holiness
I through His Spirit find.
3 I know in Whom I trust
When worldly pomp and splendor
Would lure my heart away,
For He is my Defender.
I hear His warning voice,
I feel His loving hand;
Temptations and deceits
With Him I thus withstand.
4 I know in Whom I trust
When peace and joy forsake me,
When fain my heart would break,
And sorrows overtake me.
The suffering of my Lord,
His anguish, pain, and woe
Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.
5 I know in Whom I trust
When evening shadows lengthen,
When death stands at the door,--
For Christ is there to strengthen.
He died upon the cross
To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.
6 I know in Whom I trust;
I praise Him and adore Him;
By works I show my faith;
My heart I lay before Him;
Not only crying, "Lord!"
I take Him as my Guide,
And thus in life and death
In Him alone abide.

Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee We Pray
Author: Martin Luther; Wm. R. Reynolds Hymnal: HOoS1926 #240 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ACK, BLIF HOS OSS, O JESU KRIST Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee we pray:
The wrath of God is turned away;
Thine agony and bitter death
Redeemed us from eternal wrath.
2 That we may keep this truth in mind,
Thy broken body here we find;
Here we receive Thy precious blood,
A cleansing, sacrificial flood.
3 Then praise the Father, by whose love
The Son descended from above,
Became the Bread of Life to thee,
And bore thy sins upon the tree.
4 Most firmly this we do believe,
That here the sick their food receive,
Which heals them from the wounds of sin,
Creating heavenly health within.
5 Our Saviour saith: Come unto Me,
All ye who feel your poverty:
My mercy I will freely give,
Your anguished conscience to relieve.
6 If in thy heart this faith doth rest
Which thou hast here in words confessed,
A welcome guest thou here shalt be,
And Christ Himself shall banquet thee.
7 But fruits must still thy faith approve,
Thy neighbor thou must truly love;
That love let him from thee receive
Which here to thee thy God doth give.

O God of Love, O King of Peace
Author: Henry Williams Baker Hymnal: HOoS1926 #577 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ACK, BLIF HOS OSS, O JESU KRIST Lyrics: 1 O God of love, O King of Peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;

The wonders that Thy people told;
Remember not our sins' dark stain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but Thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on Thy faithful Word?
None ever called on Thee in vain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Amen.

And loving communion at altar and board,
We meet with assurance the dawn of each day:
The Shepherd is with us,
The Shepherd is with us,
To lead and protect us, and teach us the way.
2 In perilous times, amid tempests and night,
A band presses on through the gloom toward light;
Though humble, and meek, and disowned by the world,
They follow the Saviour,
They follow the Saviour,
And march on to glory, with banners unfurled.
3 While groveling worldlings with dross are content,
And ever on sin and transgression are bent,
I follow, victorious hosts, at your word,
And march on to glory,
And march on to glory,
We march on to glory, our captain the Lord.
4 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear,
Though none of my kindred that emblem may wear;
I joyfully follow the champions of right,
Who march on to glory,
Who march on to glory,
Who march on to glory, with weapons of might.
5 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still,
And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will;
And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be,
Our thanks and our praises,
Our thanks and our praises,
Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church General; Names and Office of Christ Shepherd Languages: English

When wonders of grace to the spirit He shows!

To teach us, and cheer us, and comfort our soul!

To quicken, and strengthen, and cause us to live;
Grant faith and give love, and in mercy bestow
Whatever is needed,
Whatever is needed,
To exercise faith in our hearts here below.
3 Our hearts are as cold and as hard as a stone;
Such are they by nature, and Thou art alone,
On earth and in heaven, the Saviour who can,
A new heart creating, A new heart creating,
A new heart creating, make each a new man.
4 From sorrows of earth Thou wilt now turn our mind,
For days that are coming, O help us to find
Our joy and our comfort in what Thou hast wrought;
For we are Thy people,
For we are Thy people,
With blood and with anguish so preciously bought.

Although the foe's fierce battle shock
Loud on all sides, assail thee.

And to His hand commit thine all;
Fear thou no ill impending;
His Gideon shall arise for thee,

In God's own time, defending.

Shame and contempt their lot shall be;
God is with us, with Him are we;
To us belongs His blessing.

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: HOoS1926 #617 (1926) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Tune Title: ALFORD Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light:
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power, and reign:
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heavens Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,--

These before God's throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
Who are all this glorious band?

Praising loud their heav'nly King.

These in God's own truth arrayed,
Clad in robes of purest whiteness,
Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade,
Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand?
Whence comes all this glorious band?

For their Saviour's honor long,
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng;
These, who well the fight sustained,
Triumph through the Lamb have gained.
4 These are they whose hearts were riven,
Sore with woe and anguish tried,
Who in prayer full oft have striven
With the God they glorified:
Now, their painful conflict o'er,
God has bid them weep no more.

Offering up to Christ their will.
Soul and body consecrated,
Day and night to serve Him still.
Now in God's most holy place
Blest they stand before His face.

What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who thro' life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
2 All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! a spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
3 All the way my Saviour leads me;
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
