A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: CHLS1911 #84 (1911) Lyrics: 1. A LAMB goes uncomplaining forth, The guilt of all men bearing; 'Tis laden with the sin of earth; None else the burden sharing. It goes its way, grows weak and faint, To slaughter led without complaint, Its spotless life to offer; Bears shame, and stripes, and wounds, and death, Anguish, and mockery, and saith, "Willing all this I suffer." 2. This Lamb is Christ, the soul's great Friend And everlasting Saviour; Him, Him, God chose sin's reign to end And bring us to His favor. "Go forth, my Son!" He said, "and bail The children who are doomed to hell Without Thine intercession. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And save them from perdition." 3. "Yea, Father, yea, most willingly I'll bear what Thou commandest; My will conforms to Thy decree, I do what Thou demandest." O wondrous Love! what hast Thou done! The Father offers up His Son, The Son, content, descendeth! O Love! O Love! how strong art Thou! In shroud and grave Thou lay'st Him low Whose word the mountains rendeth! 4. Lord, all my life I'll cleave to Thee, Thy love fore'er beholding, Thee ever, as Thou ever me, With loving arms enfolding. Yea, Thou shalt be my Beacon-light, To guide me safe through death's dark night, And cheer my heart in sorrow; Henceforth myself, and all that's mine, to Thee, my Saviour, I consign, From whom all things I borrow. 5. By morn and eve my theme shall be Thy mercy's wondrous measure; To sacrifice myself to Thee, My foremost aim and pleasure. My stream of life shall flow for Thee, Its steadfast current ceaselessly In praise to Thee outpouring; And all that Thou hast done for me I'll treasure in my memory, Thy gracious love adoring. 6. Death's poison cannot harm me now, Thy blood new life bestoweth; My Shadow from the heat art Thou, When noonday's sunlight gloweth. When I'm by inward grief opprest, On Thee my weary soul shall rest, As sick man on his pillow. Thou art my Anchor, when by woe My bark is driven to and fro On trouble's restless billow. 7. And when Thy glory I shall see And taste Thy kingdom's pleasure, Thy blood shall then my purple be, I'll clothe me in this treasure; It then shall be my glorious crown. Thus I'll appear before the throne Of God, and need not hide me; And shall, by Him to Thee betrothed, By Thee in bridal garments clothed, Stand as a bride beside Thee.

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Luther Hymnal: CHLS1911 #14 (1911) Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old evil 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 can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged; the deed is done; One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, And not a thank have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife: Let these all be gone, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth. Topics: General Hymns; The Church Languages: English

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: CHLS1911 #85 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. ALAS! and did my Saviour 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 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 in 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. Topics: Lent Languages: English

To us no harm shall now come nigh, The strife at last is ended; God showeth His good will to men, And peace shall reign on earth again; O thank Him for His goodness! 2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust, And give Thee thanks forever, O Father, that Thy rule is just, And wise, and changes never: Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns, Done is whate'er Thy will ordains: Well for us that Thou rulest! 3 O Jesus Christ, Thou only Son Of God, Thy heavenly Father, Who didst for all our sins atone And the lost sheep dost gather, Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high, From out our depths, we sinners cry, Have mercy on us, Jesus! 4 O Holy Ghost, Thou precious Gift, Thou Comforter unfailing, O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift, And let Thy power availing Avert our woes and calm our dread; For us the Saviour's blood was shed, We trust in Thee to save us!

All my heart this night rejoices

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: CHLS1911 #75 (1911) Lyrics: 1. ALL my heart this night rejoices, As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Everywhere, Now with joy is ringing. 2. Forth to-day the Conqu'ror goeth, Who the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell o'erthroweth, God is man, man to deliver, His dear Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3. Shall we still dread God's displeasure, Who to save Freely gave Us His dearest treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4. Should He, who Himself imparted, Aught withhold From the fold, Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who to cheer Suff'rers here Left His throne above us? 5. If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted, Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted? 6. He Becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away, And for aye Full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders, And our race, By His grace, Meet for glory renders. 7. Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat: "Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, You are freed. All you need I will surely give you." 8. Come, then, banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness; Love Him who with love is glowing. Hail the Star Near and far Light and joy bestowing! 9. Ye whose anguish knew no measure, Weep no more, See the door To celestial pleasure. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross Pain or loss, Can again betide you. 10. Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted; For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 11. Hither come, ye poor and wretched, Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretched; Here are riches without measure, Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 12. Let me in my arms receive Thee, On Thy breast Let me rest, Saviour, ne'er to leave Thee! Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented. 13. Guilt no longer can distress me; Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me. Stain in me Thou findest never; I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever. 14. I am pure, in Thee believing, From Thy store Evermore Richest robes receiving. In my heart I will enfold Thee, Treasure rare, Let me there Loving ever hold Thee! 15. Thee, O Lord, with heed I'll cherish, While I've breath, Nor shall death My devotion perish; I shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never.

All praise to Jesus' hallowed name

Author: M. Luther; R. Massie Hymnal: CHLS1911 #76 (1911) Lyrics: 1. ALL praise to Jesus' hallowed name, Who of virgin pure became True man for us! The angels sing, As the glad news to earth they bring. Have mercy, Lord. 2. Th'eternal Father's only Son For a manger leaves His throne; Disguised in our poor flesh and blood Is now the everlasting Good. Have mercy, Lord. 3. He whom the world could not inclose Doth in Mary's lap repose. He is become an infant small, Who by His might upholdeth all. Have mercy, Lord. 4. Th'eternal Light, come down from heaven, Hath to us new sunshine given: It shineth in the midst of night, And maketh us the sons of light. Have mercy, Lord. 5. The Father's Son, God ever blest, In the world became a guest; He leads us from this vale of tears, And makes us in His kingdom heirs. Have mercy, Lord. 6. He came to earth despised and poor, Man to pity and restore, And make us rich in heaven above, Equal with angels through His love. Have mercy, Lord. 7. All this He did, that He might prove To us sinners His great love: For this let Christendom adore And praise His name forevermore. Have mercy, Lord. Topics: Christmas Languages: English

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Author: H. Bonar Hymnal: CHLS1911 #13 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 ALL that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then, in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live! 5 All that I am, even here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.
