O Seek the Lord Today
What Is The World To Me
Author: Georg M. Pfefferkorn, 1646-1732; H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #195 (1930) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me
With all its vaunted pleasure,
If I but Thee may own,
Lord Jesus, for my Treasure?
Thou only, dearest Friend,
My Fount of joy shalt be;
To Thee I look for rest --
What is the world to me?
2 The world would fain be praised
By men of wealth and power,
But never ponders well
How soon shall pass their hour;
What I shall glory in
Is Jesus, only He;
His praise alone I seek--
What is the world to me?
3 The world is wont to crave
The things that mammon offers,
Yet never feels content
Tho' gold fill all its coffers;
I know a higher Good,
In Jesus I can see
A sweet content in store--
What is the world to me?
4 The world is wont to grieve
When out of honor cheated,
Or when its idle fame
Has sorely been depleted;
But I shall bear reproach,
And this my boast shall be:
I suffer for my Lord--
What is the world to me?
5 The world its tainted joy
Is evermore extolling,
Though while on pleasure bent,
From grace it may be falling.
Let him who loves the world
Its boon companion be;
I love my Lord and God--
What is the world to me?
6 What is the world to me?
Are not its treasures waning?
In Jesus I alone
A crown of joy am gaining;
He is my wealth, my all,
I shall His kingdom see
In yonder realms of bliss--
What is the world to me?

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #215 (1930) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever flowing,
Who all we need in life
In mercy art bestowing:
Give me a healthy frame,
And may I have within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 Lend Thou me strength to do
With ready heart and willing
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling thus fulfilling;
To do it when I ought,
With Thee at hand to bless
What Thou through me hast wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 Nor let me promise aught
Unless I keep it truly;
Against all idle words
May I be guarded duly;
And when my place in life
Impels my lips to speak,
Help me avoid all strife
And gently bear the weak.
4 If dangers round me throng,
Keep thou me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And if Thou length of days
Hast here on earth decreed me,
If Thou through many ills
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
With patience me endow,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my furrowed brow
With pure untarnished fame.

A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do,

And guard my lips e'er duly;

My words due power and grace,
Nor let me wound the weak.

Of goods unjustly got.

Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure, untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here on earth
Me from my Saviour sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred's grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name.

Borne with me in my blindness!

To joy and exultation
And clearly shown the way
That leads me to salvation.

Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven.

In my infirmity;
May he renew my heart
To serve you willingly.

Now hear my supplication;
O Savior, Son of God,
Accept my adoration;

Who wast from the beginning
With God, for Thou wast God;
Thou hope of all the sinning,
Sent down to save our race,
Most welcome, Lord, Thou art,
Redeemer, Fount of grace,
To this my longing heart.
2 Come, self-existent Word,
And speak Thou in my spirit!
The soul where Thou art heard
Doth endless peace inherit.

Abide through faith in me,
Nor let me from Thee fall,
And seek no guide but Thee.
3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart,
What cry hath mounted thither,
And reached Thy heavenly throne,
And drawn Thee, Savior, hither?
It was Thy wondrous love,
And my most utter need,
Made Thy compassions move,
Stronger than death indeed.
4 Then let me give my heart
To Him who loved me, wholly;
And live, while here I dwell,
To show His praises solely:
Yes, Jesus, form anew
This stony heart of mine,
Make it till death still true
To Thee, forever Thine.
5 Let naught be left within
But what Thy hand hath planted;
Root out the weeds of sin,
And quell the foe who haunted
My soul, and sowed the tares;
From Thee comes nothing ill,
O save me from his snares,
Make plain my pathway still.
6 Thou art the Life, O Lord,
And Thou its Light art only!
Let not Thy blessed rays
Still leave me dark and lonely.
Star of the East, arise!

Bind up the sore opprest,
Lift up the fallen ones,
And grant the weary rest.
7 Bring those into Thy fold
Who still to Thee are strangers;
Guard those who are within
Against offense and dangers.
Press onward with Thy Word
Till pastor and his fold
Through faith in Thee, O Christ,
Thy glory shall behold.
