Lord of hosts, and God alone!'

saints who set their world ablaze,

by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.

you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid:
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray.

Jesus, Grant that Balm and Healing
Author: Johann Heermann Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, grant that balm and healing
In Thy holy wounds I find,
Ev'ry hour that I am feeling
Pains of body and of mind.
Should some evil tho't within,
Tempt my treach'rous heart to sin,
Show the peril, and from sinning
Keep me ere its first beginning.
2 Should some lust or sharp temptation
Prove too strong for flesh and blood,
Let me think upon Thy Passion,
And the breach is soon made good.
Or should Satan press me hard,
Let me then be on my guard,
Saying, "Christ for me was wounded,"
That the Tempter flee confounded.
3 If the world my heart entices
On the broad and easy road
With its mirth and luring vices
Let me think upon the load
Thou didst carry and endure
That I flee all tho'ts impure,
Banishing each wild emotion,
Calm and blest in my devotion.
4 Ev'ry wound that pains or grieves me,
By Thy stripes, Lord, is made whole;
When I'm faint, Thy Cross revives me,
Granting new life to my soul.
Yea, Thy comfort renders sweet
Ev'ry bitter cup I meet;
For Thy all-atoning Passion
Has procured my soul's salvation.
5 O my God, my Rock and Tower,
Grant that in Thy death I trust,
Knowing Death has lost his power
Since Thou trodd'st him in the dust.
Savior, let Thine agony
Ever help and comfort me;
When I die be my Protection,
Light and Life and Resurrection.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: DER AM KREUZ Text Sources: Tr. composite

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,305 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 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 had 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 his own creatures' 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.
