A broken heart, my God, my King!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a240 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King! Is all the sacrifice I bring: The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my power shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

A great and mighty wonder

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a35 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings. 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim to shepherds Sing anthems from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains! Ye oceans, clap your hands! 5 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Savior and the Lord! 6 And idol-forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

Who wilt be ever our Reward: And as the countless ages flee, May all our glory be in Thee! Topics: The Church Year Ascension Languages: English

A Lamb bears all the guilt away

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a67 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A Lamb bears all its guilt away The world thus to deliver, All sins of sinners patiently It bears and murmurs never. It goes, and weak and sick is made, An offering on the altar laid, All pleasure it forsaketh, Submits to shame, and scorn, and wrath, To anguish, wounds, stripes, cross, and death, This cup with gladness taketh. 2 This spotless Lamb, our soul’s great Friend, And everlasting Savior, God chooseth sin’s dread reign to end And bring us to His favor. Go forth, my Son! redeem to Thee The children who’re exposed by me To punishment and anger. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And free them thus this danger. 3 Shrine of my heart! now opened be, To thee shall now be given Fair treasures that far greater be Than earth, and sea, and heaven. Away, gold of Arabia, Myrrh, calamus, and cassia! Far better I discover. My priceless treasure is, O Thou My Jesus! what so freely now From Thy wounds floweth over! 4 And when at last heav’n’s gate I see, And taste the kingdom’s pleasure, This blood shall then my purple be, I’ll clothe me in this treasure; It shall be then my glorious crown, In which I’ll stand before the throne Of God, with none to blame me; And as a bride in fair array, I’ll stand beside my Lord that day, Who woo’d, and then will claim me.

A little child, the Savior came

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a347 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A little child, the Savior came, The mighty God was still His Name; And angels worshipped as He lay, The seeming infant of a day. 2 He who a little child began Saved children, too, by sin defiled, And still proclaims the message free: Let little children come to Me. 3 We bring, at Thy beloved behest, Thy heirs in Holy Baptism blest, Through Christian nurture, faith, and prayer, That they may all Thy blessings share. 4 O give Thine angels charge, good Lord! To keep them Thy way and Word; Be throughout life Thy blessings given, And in the end take them to heaven. Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Languages: English

A tower of strength our God is still!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a144 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A tower of strength our God is still! A mighty Shield and Weapon; He is our help from all the ill That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Now means deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours here naught is done, Our loss were soon effected: But for us fights the Valiant One, Who God Himself elected. Ask you: "Who is He?" Christ Jesus: here see Great Sabaoth's Lord! There is no other God: His is the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, For he is judged—undone; One little Word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word of God they shall let stand And not a thank have for it, Here Christ Himself leads the command With His great gifts and Spirit; And take they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife, When their worst is done, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth.

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a440 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changes not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Our constant, faithful Friend; Grant steadfastness and patience, And vict'ry in the end. Topics: Sunday Close of Service Languages: English

Ah God, my days are dark indeed

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a416 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Ah God, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed! The narrow way how filled with pain, That I must pass ere heaven I gain! How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal good! 2 Ah whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn; In Thee have I, howe'er distrest, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest; I cannot all forsaken be While still my heart can trust in Thee. 3 Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! So dark and hopeless is no grief But Thy sweet name can bring relief, So keen no sorrows' rankling dart But Thy sweet name can heal my heart. 4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure nought can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy name! They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love. 5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile the world may frown, In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold; Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; 6 Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul, And keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death: Jesus, Consoler, bend to me! Ah would I were e'en now with Thee! Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Languages: English

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a64 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in, When God the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

Alas! my God! my sins are great

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a236 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Alas my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And though I flee, in my despair, In some low spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, Thy hand still hold and guide me. 3 Nay, 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 O curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chasting murmur. 5 Then deal with me as seems Thee best, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Savior share it.

All things hang on our possessing

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a326 (1895) Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's free love and grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart; He who God for His hath taken, 'Mid the changing world unshaken, Keeps a free, heroic heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me And to many a joy hath led me, Is and ever shall be mine; He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will not leave me now to pine. 3 Shall I weary me with fretting O'er vain trifles and regretting Things that never can remain? I will strive but that to to win me Which can shed true rest within me, Rest the world must seek in vain. 4 When my heart with longing sickens, Hope again my courage quickens; For my wish shall be fulfilled, If is please His most will most tender: Life and soul I will surrender Unto Him on whom I build. 5 Well He knows how best to grant me All the longing hopes that haunt me; All things have their proper day. I to Him would dictate never, As God will, so be it ever, When He wills I will obey. 6 If on earth He bids me linger, He will guide me with His finger Through the years that now look dim; All that earth has fleets and changes, As a river onward ranges, But I rest in peace on Him.
