O Christ, Our True and Only Light
Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #198 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Enlighten those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze
And all whom in their secret minds
Some dark delusion haunts and blinds.
3 O gently call those gone astray
That they may find the saving way!
Let ev'ry conscience sore oppressed
In Thee find peace and heav'nly rest.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wand'rers to Thy fold.
Unite all those who walk apart;
Confirm the weak and doubting heart,
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore
And endless praise to Thee be giv'n
By all Thy Church in earth and heav'n.

ni kantu al Princ' Kristo : lin Maria naskis Virgulin'.
Benata la Farint' de l' mond' sin vestis per ĉi sklava korp'
por savi karnon per la karn' ke ne perdiĝu kreitar'.
Ĉastegan ventron de patrin' la graco trafas el ĉiel',
knabina ventro pro sekret' pezegas : ŝi ne konas ĝin.
Do domo de pudora kor' tuj iĝas templo nur por Di' :
la netuŝitulin' sen vir' koncipas filon en uter'.
En naskospasmoj naskas lin, kiun anoncis Gabriel' —
kaj suprensalte jam Baptist' rekonas lin el panja sin'.
Fojn' por kuŝado, kial ne? li ne malŝatas pri manĝuj' :
per iom lakto nutras sin, dank' kiun manĝas ĉiu bird'.
Ĝojegas ĉielula ĥor', anĝeloj kantas nun por Di'
kaj al paŝtistoj la Paŝtist' montriĝas : ĉies li kreint'.
Jesu', la gloro jen por vi — ĉar vi naskiĝis el Virgin' —
kun Patro kaj Vivig-Spirit' por ĉiamdaŭra la tempeg'. Tune Title: O JESU CHRISTE, WAHRES LICHT

Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay;
For by your cross, absolved I am

Which at the mercy-seat of God
Pleads for the captives' liberty,
Was also shed in love for me.

Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.

To claim my mansion in the skies,
This then shall be my only plea:
Christ Jesus lived and died for me.

Your blessed name forevermore,

An everlasting ransom paid. Topics: Justification; Atonement; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU CHRISTE, WAHRES LICHT

With deep repentance well agree
And join to prove their faith sincere.

That hides and cancels all their sins,

My Strength by day, my Trust by night,
On earth I'm but a passing guest
And sorely by my sins opprest.
2 Far off I see my fatherland,
Where thro' Thy blood I hope to stand.
But ere I reach that Paradise,
A weary way before me lies.
3 My heart sinks at the journey's length,
My wasted flesh has little strength;
My soul alone still cries in me:
"Lord, take me home, take me to Thee!"
4 Oh let Thy suff'rings give me pow'r
To meet the last and darkest hour!
Thy blood refresh and comfort me;
Thy bonds and fetters make me free.
5 Oh, let Thy holy wounds for me
Clefts in the rock forever be
Where as a dove my soul can hide
And safe from Satan's rage abide.
6 And when my spirit flies away,
The dying words shall be my stay.
Thy cross shall be my staff in life,
Thy holy grave my rest from strife.
7 Lord, in Thy nail-prints let me read
That Thou to save me hast decreed
And grant that in Thine opened side
My troubled soul may ever hide.
8 Since Thou hast died, the Pure, the Just,
I take my homeward way in trust.
The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide
When here I may no more abide.
9 And when the last Great Day shall come
And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom,
Let me with joy behold the light
And set me then upon Thy right.
10 Renew this wasted flesh of mine
That like the sun it there may shine
Among the angels pure and bright,
Yea, like Thyself in glorious light.
11 Ah, then I'll have my hearts' desire,
When, singing with the angels' choir,
Among the ransomed of Thy grace,
Forever I'll behold Thy face.

My soul alone still cries in me;
"Lord, fetch me home, take me to Thee!"
4 Oh let Thy suff'rings give me pow'r
To meet the last and darkest hour!
Thy blood refresh and comfort me;
Thy bonds and fetters make me free.
5 The blows and stripes that fell on Thee
Heal up the wounds of sin in me;
Thy crown of thorns, Thy foes' mad spite,
Let be my glory and delight.
6 That thirst and bitter draught of Thine
Cause me to bear with patience mine;
Thy piercing cry uphold my soul
When floods of anguish o'er me roll!
7 Thy Spirit cry within me still
When here my lips grow white and chill,
And help my soul Thy heav'n to find
When these poor eyes grow dark and blind!
8 Thy dying words let be my light
When death approaches as dark night;
Defend me in my dying breath
When then I bow my head in death.
9 Thy cross let be my staff in life,
Thy holy grave my rest from strife;
The winding sheet that covered Thee,
O let it be a shroud for me.
10 Lord, in Thy nail prints let me read
That Thou to save me hast decreed
And grant that in Thine opened side
My troubled soul may ever hide.
11 Since Thou hast died, the Pure, the Just,
I take my homeward way in trust.
The gates of heav'n, Lord, open wide
When here I may no more abide.
12 And when the last Great Day shall come
And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom,
Let me with joy behold the light
And set me then upon Thy right.
13 Renew this wasted flesh of mine
That like the sun it there may shine
Among the angels pure and bright,
Yea, like Thyself in glorious light.
14 Ah, then shall I most joyful be
And with the angels sing to Thee
And with Thy blessed, chosen fold
Fore'er Thy gracious face behold.

My strength by day, my trust by night,
On earth I’m but a passing guest
And sorely with my sins oppressed.

Where through Thy blood I hope to stand.
But ere I reach that paradise,
A weary way before me lies.

To meet the last and darkest hour!
Thy blood refresh and comfort me;
Thy bonds and fetters make me free.
5. Oh, let Thy holy wounds for me
Clefts in the rock forever be
Where as a dove my soul can hide
And safe from Satan’s rage abide.
6. And when my spirit flies away,
Thy dying words shall be my stay.
Thy cross shall be my staff in life,
Thy holy grave my rest from strife.

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #178 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died,
Of Him who died upon the cross;
The sinner's Hope let all deride,
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon that cross we see
In shining letters, "God is Love."
He bears our sins upon the tree,
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross!--it takes our guilt away,
It holds the fainting spirit up,
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes all terror from the grave
And gilds the bed of death with light.
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinners' refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heaven above.

Blest is the Man, Forever Blest

Whose guilt is pardoned by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confessed
And covered with his Savior's blood.
2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord
Imputes not his iniquities;
He pleads no merit of reward
And not on works but grace relies.
3 From guile his heart and lips are free;
His humble joy, his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree
And join to prove his faith sincere.
4 How glorious is that righteousness
That hides and cancels all his sins,
While bright the evidence of grace
Thro' all his life appears and shines!

Lord, Thine assembled servants bless;
Graces and gifts to each supply
And clothe Thy priests with righteousness.
2 Before Thine altar when we stand
To teach the truth, as taught by Thee,
Savior, like stars in Thy right hand
The angels of Thy churches be.
3 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,
Firmness with meekness, from above,
To bear Thy people on our heart,
And love the souls whom Thou dost love:
4 To watch and pray and never faint
By day and night strict guard to keep,
To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
Nourish Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep.
5 Then, when their work is finished here,
We may in hope our charge resign.
When the Chief Shepherd shall appear,
O God, may they and we be Thine.

In all the fullness of Thy grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race!
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Whene’er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light!
Confusion, order in Thy path!
Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O Spirit of the Lord! prepare
All the round earth her God to meet;
Breathe Thou abroad, like morning air,
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him Lord.
6 God from eternity hath willed
All flesh shall His salvation see:
So be the Father’s love fulfilled,
The Savior’s sufferings crowned through Thee.
