For Constant Christian Friendship

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #26 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 First Line: Jesus! Thou, my dearest Brother Lyrics: Jesus! Thou, my dearest Brother, Who dost well to me intend, Thou mine Anchor, Mast, and Rudder, And my truest Bosom-Friend. To Thee, ere was earth or heaven, Had the race of man been given; Thou, e’en me, poor guest of earth, Chosen hadst before my birth. Thou art free from guile, Lord! ever Innocent of all that’s base; But on this sad earth whenever I in meditation gaze, There I find deception living; Who excelleth in deceiving, Who the best dissemble can, He’s the best and wisest man. Hollow and unfaithful ever Is the friendship of the earth; Seemeth she a man to favour? ’Tis but for the gold he’s worth; Are we prosp’rous, do we flourish? She will smile on us, and nourish; Doth misfortune o’er us low’r? She forsakes us in that hour. Drive away from me, and shield me From such instability; If I, Father, have defil’d me (For I also human be) With this mire, and did I ever Falsehood love, oh! now deliver. All my guilt I own to Thee, Patience give, and grace to me! May I ne’er be overtaken By the evils Thou hast said Come on those who’ve truth forsaken, And with wares deceptive trade; For Thou sayest Thou disownest, As abomination shunnest, Ev’ry hypocrite’s false mood, Who talks, but doth not the good. May my heart be constant ever, Faithful still to every friend; When to grief Thou dost deliver Them, and ’neath the cross they bend, May I even then ne’er shun them, But like unto Thee, Lord, own them, Who, when we were poor and bare, Tended’st us with fondest care. After Thy will, Saviour, give me One in whom I may confide, Who will faithful counsel give me When my heart is sorely tried; To whom I may freely utter All I feel, with nought to fetter, In the measure I may need, ’Till my heart from care is freed. Oh! let David’s bliss betide me, Give to me a Jonathan Who will come and stand beside me Like a rock, though every man From my company should sever, Who his heart will give me ever, Who’ll stand firm in every hour, When sun shines or tempests low’r. Out of all the men who’re living, Choose me a believing friend, Who to Thee is firmly cleaving, On Thine arm doth aye depend; Who may by Thy will relieve me, Help and comfort ever give me, Help, from sympathizing heart, Comfort, when I feel grief’s smart. When ’tis only the mouth loveth, Then the love is ill bestow’d; Whose love but to good words moveth While he keeps a hateful mood, Whom self-interest rules ever, Who when honey falls, stays never, But escapeth speedily,— Ever far be such from me! In my weakness and my sinning, Move my friend to speak to me, By his words of kindness winning, Never as an enemy. Who reproves in love and sadness Is like him, in days of gladness, Who pours balsam over me That by Jordan floweth free. Riches great were I possessing, Priceless were my property; Jesus! did Thy hand such blessing Graciously bestow on me, Were such friend, Lord! ever near me, By His constancy to cheer me; Who doth honour Thee, and fear He hath such a treasure near. Good friends like to staves are ever, Whereon men lean as they go, That the weak one can deliver, When he slides and lieth low: Sad his case who such ne’er knoweth, Who through life all friendless goeth, Weary is his lonely way, When he falls, to help who stay? Gracious Saviour! let it please Thee, Be my Friend in every hour, Be my Friend, till death release me, Be my faithful Staff of pow’r! When Thou to Thyself wilt bind me, Then a heart Thou soon wilt find me, By Thy Holy Spirit fir’d With good thoughts to me inspir’d. Languages: English

Thou art but Man!

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #34 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 First Line: Thou art but man, to thee 'tis known Lyrics: Thou art but man, to thee ’tis known, Why dost thou then endeavour To do what God should do alone, Or can accomplish ever? A thousand griefs thou goest through, In spite of all thy wit can do; Upon thine end thou pond’rest, What it will be thou wond’rest. ’Tis all in vain, in vain thy care, With all thy musings earnest, In all thy life a single hair Thou white or black ne’er turnest. The griefs by which thou’rt sore distress’d Can only serve to mar thy rest, Cause anguish unavailing, Thy life itself curtailing. Wilt thou do what is for thy good, And what thy God good seeth? Then cast on Him each heavy load, ’Fore whom earth and heav’n fleeth. Thy life and labour, all that’s thine, With joy into God’s hand resign; A happy end He’ll ever Give thee, and thee deliver. Who car’d for thee ere light of day Had dawn’d upon thy vision, While in the womb thy soul still lay As in a gloomy prison? Who thought upon thy welfare then? What good did all the might of men Do, when to thee were given Life, mind, and pow’r from heaven? Whose skill was it that fashion’d thee? And who thy frame uprearèd? To glad our eyes, by whose decree, Say, hath the light appearèd? Who hath thy veins in order laid, For each a course convenient made? Who hath thy frame replenish’d With members fair and finish’d? Where were thy mind and will and heart When land and ocean over, Yea, even earth’s remotest part, The sky was spread to cover? Who made the sun and moon to shine, Who gave herbs, trees, and beasts as thine, Who bid them satisfy thee, And no desire deny thee? Lift up thy head, see everywhere, Above, around, below thee, How God in all for thee His care, And at all times, doth show thee! Thy meat and drink, the clothes dost wear, Did God, ere need thou felt’st, prepare. God, ere thou wast, prepar’d thee Thy mother’s milk, that rear’d thee. The raiment that in infancy Thy nakedness did cover, The cradle that receivèd thee, The roof thy young head over, Were all in love prepar’d for thee, Ere yet thine eye was op’d to see The wonders that abounded, The world that thee surrounded. Yet wilt thou walk by thine own light Thy life long, only heeding, Believing nothing but thy sight, Go whither it is leading. In all that thou dost undertake, Thy heart thy counsellor dost make, Unless by it selected, Is ev’ry plan rejected. Behold! how oft and openly God’s providence undoeth The plans thy hand so ardently And hopefully pursueth. But it doth happen frequently, That e’en the very things we see The wisest men could never Predict, or think of ever. How oft thy stiff-neck’d self-will hath To bitter need reduc’d thee! When heart and mind deluded, death To take for life, seduc’d thee! And had the Lord thy work and deed Along the path allow’d proceed That thou thyself had’st taken, Lost wert thou and forsaken. He who to us love endless feels, When self-involv’d, then frees us, Ev’n self-inflicted wounds He heals, Guides when astray He sees us. Paternal kindness, tender love, To these His heart doth ever move, This love poor sinners beareth, For whom as sons He careth. Ah! silence doth He often keep, But still the while He blesses, E’en though we tears of anguish weep, Though grief the heart depresses, Although our eager eyes we strain, And seek for light, but seek in vain, And seek deliv’rance ever From woe, but find it never. But God our Lord still onward straight His path pursueth ever, And brings us to heav’n’s peaceful gate, Where storms assail us never. What dark was and mysterious here In all God’s ways, shall be then clear, His wisdom we’ll discover When our life-work is over. Then peace, be still, my troubled breast! And let no grief distress thee, God ever plans for thee the best, His heart is set to bless thee. Thy cause the Saviour ne’er can leave, In this assuredly believe, Tow’rd us He ever yearneth, His ardent love aye burneth. With grace and truth His loving heart For evermore is glowing, And keenly feeleth He the smart, When from our eyes are flowing Hot tears, caus’d by vain sorrow’s load, As if in wrath and hate our God Could ever helpless leave us, Would never comfort give us! The evil thought, ah! put away, No more may it deceive thee, Although what happ’neth, seldom may Increase of pleasure give thee. But that will happen certainly Which God thy Father doth decree; From what He wills to send thee, No mortal can defend thee. Then to thy Father’s arms of love In confidence betake thee, Pray on till His compassion move, His special care He make thee! Then by His Spirit will He guide, Through unknown paths still at thy side, From all thy woe and striving At last deliv’rance giving. Languages: English

The Bereaved Father Comforts Himself Concerning his Now Sainted Son

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #72 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 First Line: Mine art thou still, and mine shalt be Lyrics: Mine art thou still, and mine shalt be, Who will be this denying? Not only thou belong’st to me, The Lord of Life undying The greatest right hath aye in thee; He taketh, He demands from me Thee, O my son, my treasure, My heart’s delight and pleasure! If wish avail’d, my soul’s sweet star! My free choice would I make thee, Than earth’s fair treasures rather far, I evermore would take thee. Would say to thee, Abide with me, The joy of all my dwelling be, I ever more shall love thee, Till death itself remove me. Thus saith my heart, and meaneth well, But God doth mean still better; Great love doth in my bosom dwell, In God there dwelleth greater. I am a father, nothing more, Of fathers God’s the crown and pow’r, The fountain who is giving Their being to all living. I long and yearn for my dear son; God, by whom he was given, Wills he should stand beside His throne, Should live with Him in heaven. I say, Alas! my light is gone! God saith, “I welcome thee, my son, I’d have thee ever near me, With endless joys would cheer thee!” O lovely word! O sweet decree! More holy than we ever Can think; with God no ill can be, Mischance, or sickness never, No care, no want, no oversight, With God no sorrow e’er can blight; Whom God cares for and loveth No trouble ever moveth. We men much thought and time expend On our dear ones’ adorning; Our thoughts and efforts ever bend, Are planning night and morning To gain for them a happy place; And yet how seldom ’tis the case They reach the destination We had in contemplation. How oft a young and hopeful one From virtue’s path far roameth, By him through ill example’s done What Christians ne’er becometh. Then God’s just anger doth he earn, On earth he meeteth scoffs and scorn, His father’s heart he filleth With pain that nothing stilleth. Now such can never be my case, My son is safely yonder, Appeareth now before God’s face, Doth in Christ’s garden wander, Is fill’d with joy, is ever bless’d, And from heart-sorrow doth he rest, Sees, hears the hosts so glorious Who here are watching o’er us. He angels yonder hears and sees, Part in their songs he taketh, And knows all wisdom’s mysteries; His high discourse he maketh What none of us can ever know With all our searching here below, To none on earth ’tis given, Reserv’d it is for Heaven. Ah! could I even draw so near, Could it to me be given The faintest sounds of praise to hear That fill the courts of Heaven, When prais’d is the thrice holy One, Who thee hath sanctified, my son! Joy would my heart be swelling, Tears from mine eyes be welling. Would I then say, Stay with me here, Henceforth I’ll murmur never; Alas! my son! wert thou but near! No, but come quickly hither Thou fiery car, and take me where My child and all the blessèd are, Who speak of things so glorious, O’er every ill victorious. Now be it so, I’d have it so, I’ll never more deplore thee; Thou liv’st, pure joys thy heart o’erflow, Bright suns shine ever o’er thee, The suns of endless joy and rest. Live then, and be for ever bless’d, I shall, when God wills, yonder In bliss hereafter wander. Languages: English

Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #93 (1945) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: Hast to the plow thou put thy hand Let not thy spirit waver, Heed not the world’s allurements grand, Nor pause for Sodom’s favor. But plow thy furrow, sow the seed, Though tares and thorns thy work impede; For they, who sow with weeping, With joy shall soon be reaping. But should at times thy courage fail— For all may fail and falter— Let not the tempting world prevail On thee thy course to alter. Each moment lost in faint retreat May bring disaster and defeat. If foes bid thee defiance, On God be thy reliance. If steadfast in the race we keep, Our course is soon completed. And death itself is but a sleep, Its dreaded might defeated. But those who conquer in the strife Obtain the victor’s crown of life And shall in constant gladness Forget these days of sadness. Languages: English

Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 3 Thou hast borne the smiting only That my wounds might all be whole; Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely, Rest to give my weary soul; Yea, the curse of God enduring, Blessing unto me securing. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 4 Heartless scoffers did surround thee, Treating thee with cruel scorn, And with piercing thorns they crowned thee. All disgrace thou, Lord, hast borne That as thine thou mightest own me And with heav'nly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise thee That from pain I might be free; Falsely did thy foes accuse thee -- Thence I gain security. Comfortless thy soul did languish Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 6 Thou has suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me. Thou didst choose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For thy sorrows deep and sore, For thine anguish in the garden, I will thank thee evermore, Thank thee for thy groaning, sighing, For thy bleeding and thy dying, For that last triumphant cry And shall praise thee, Lord, on high.

The gentle Shepherd here behold, Slain for the sheep lost to His fold: From labor, pain, and weeping Now rests He with the sleeping. 2 But not for aye, O Friend of men, Thou in the grave descendest; A little while, and then again Thy grieving flock Thou tendest. The corn that falls into the earth From darkness springs in fullness forth, In season amply giving The life-bread to the living. 3 O Prince of Life, now to the gloom Of earth consigned in sorrow, My life so guide, that in my tomb I wait the blessèd morrow. When, freed from worldly strife and care, This mortal frame reposes there, Grant that my deathless spirit The bliss of heaven inherit. Amen.
