My Soul, Now Praise Your Maker

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1820-1878; Johann Graumann, 1487-1541 Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: My soul, now praise your maker! Lyrics: 1 My soul, now praise your maker! Let all within me bless his name Who makes you full partaker Of mercies more than you dare claim. Forget him not whose meekness Still bears with all your sin, Who heals your ev'ry weakness, Renews your life within; Whose grace and care are endless And saved you through the past; Who leaves no suff'rer friendless, But rights the wronged at last. 2 He offers all his treasure Of justice, truth, and righteousness, His love beyond all measure, His yearning pity o'er distress, Nor treats us as we merit, But sets his anger by. The poor and contrite spirit Finds his compassion nigh; And high as heav'n above us, As break from close of day, So far, since he has loved us, He puts our sins away. 3 For as a loving mother Has pity on her children here, God in his arms will gather All those who him like children fear. He knows how frail our powers, Who but from dust are made. We flourish as the flowers, And even so we fade; The wind but o'er them passes, And all their bloom is o'er. We wither like the grasses; Our place knows us no more. 4 His grace remains forever, And children's children yet shall prove That God forsakes them never Who in true fear shall seek his love. In heav'n is fixed his dwelling, His rule is over all; You hosts with might excelling, With praise before him fall. Praise him forever reigning, All here who hear his Word - Our life and all sustaining. My soul, oh, praise the Lord!

O Jesu! Lord most merciful

Author: J. Hamilton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesu! Lord most merciful, Low at Thy cross I lie; O sinner's friend, most pitiful, Hear my bewailing cry. I come to Thee with mourning, I come to Thee in woe; With contrite heart returning, And tears that overflow. 2 O gracious Intercessor! O Priest within the veil! Plead, for a lost transgressor, The blood that cannot fail. I spread my sins before Thee, I tell them one by one; Oh, for Thy name's great glory, Forgive all I have done. 3 Oh, by Thy cross and passion, Thy tears and agony, And crown of cruel fashion, And death on Calvary; By all that untold suffering Endured by Thee alone; O Priest! O spotless Offering! Plead, for Thou didst atone! 4 And in this heart now broken, Re-enter Thou and reign; And say, by that dear token, I am absolved again; And build me up, and guide me, And guard me day by day; And in Thy presence hide me, And keep my soul alway. Amen. Topics: General; Holy Week; Lent; Parochial Missions; Penitence Used With Tune: TABOR

O Living Bread from Heaven

Author: J. Rist, 1607-67; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Living Bread from heaven, How richly hast Thou fed Thy guest! The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with joy and rest. O wondrous food of blessing, O cup that heals our woes! My heart this gift professing, In thankful songs o'erflows; For while the faith within me Was quickened by this food, My soul hath gazed upon Thee, My highest, only Good! 2 My God, Thou here hast led me Within Thy temple's holiest place And there Thyself hast fed me With all the treasures of Thy grace; O boundless is Thy kindness, And righteous is Thy pow'r, While I in sinful blindness Am erring hour by hour; And yet Thou com'st not spurning A sinner, Lord, like me! Thy grace and love returning, What gift have I for Thee? 3 A heart that hath repented, And mourns for sin with bitter sighs-- Thou, Lord, art well-contented With this my only sacrifice. I know that in my weakness Thou wilt despise me not, But grant me in Thy meekness The favour I have sought; Yes, Thou wilt hear with favor The song that now I raise, For meet and right 'tis ever That I should sing Thy praise. 4 Grant what I have partaken May through Thy grace so work in me That sin be all forsaken And I may cleave alone to Thee And all my soul be heedful How she Thy love may know; For this alone is needful Thy love should in me glow. Then let no beauty ever, No joy, allure my heart, But what is Thine, my Saviour, What Thou dost here impart. 5 O well for me that, strengthened With heav'nly food and comfort here, Howe'er my course be lengthened, I now may serve Thee free from fear! Away, then, earthly pleasure! All earthly gifts are vain; I seek a heav'nly treasure, My home I long to gain, My God, where I shall praise Thee, Where none my peace destroy, And where my soul shall raise Thee Glad songs in endless With pure joy.

Min Sjæl, min Sjæl, lov Herren

Author: Joh. Gramann; Landstad Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Min Sjæl, min Sjæl, lov Herren, Og alt, hvad i mig er, hans Navn! Min Sjæl, min Sjæl, lov Herren, Glem ingen Ting af alt hans Gavn! Han, som din Synd udsletter Og læger dine Saar; Han, som dit Liv opretter, Naar du til Døden gaar; Han, som ny Kraft dig sender, Gjør Alderdommen ung; Han, som dig bær paa Hænder, Naar Tiden falder tung! 2 Sit Ord han lod os kjende, Og hans Velgjerninger vi veed. Barmhjertig uden Ende Og rig paa evig Miskundhed Han lader Vreden fare For dem, som gjøre Bod, Vil ingen Salve spare For Sorg og saaret Mod. Med Naaden sin og Trøsten Har han vor Angest stilt, Som Vesten er fra Østen Langt Synden fra os skilt. 3 Som sig en kjærlig Fader Miskunder over sine Smaa, Saa gjør vor Gud, og lader Op Naaden ny hver Morgen gaa. Han veed, vi ere ringe, Kun Støv og Aske vist, Ret som et Græs i Enge, En Urt, sin Blomst har mist. Naar Veiret hart paafalder, Da findes det ei meer, Saa gaar det med vor Alder, Vort Engelight er nær. 4 Men Guds Miskund alene Den bliver fast i Evighed Hos dem, ham trolig tjene, Hans kjære Børn og Menighed. Fra Himlens høie Sæde Han holder hellig Vagt. I Engle, som med Glæde Er Vidner til hans Magt. I Sterke, I, som fare At føre ud hans Bud, Og Jordens hele Skare Stat op og lover Gud!

All ye who dwell in Zion, Hark to your Shepherd Lord, Who leads you to green pastures, And feeds you with His living Word! 2 Adorn thyself to meet Him, O Shulamite, O bride of Christ! Go gladly forth to greet Him, When of His coming now apprised! He for thy sin was given, And thou art sanctified. Behold, the Son of heaven Hath claimed thee for His bride! Give Him thy heart forever, Whose love shall never cease; Let no affliction sever The bonds of unity and peace! 3 O Lord, Thy Zion, thronging Thy holy temple, e'er shall raise, With hearts and tongues in rapture, To Thee their solemn prayer and praise! O let Thy Word in clearness A day-star o'er us shine, That we may feel Thy nearness, And bring forth fruit divine. Like sands from out the ocean, So let Thy people be, To voice our heart's devotion, And praise Thee through eternity. Amen.

The flock and all its shepherds cry; One Spirit us doth gather, One is our Lord, who reigns on high; One well of life doth lave us, One hope our souls inspires, One faith, our stay, doth save us, One love us ever fires, One peace our spirits blesses, One fight for our reward, One end of all distresses, One life in Christ our Lord. 2 One in the Spirit's union, We onward march, a pilgrim throng, And sing in sweet communion The ransomed Zion's victor-song; Through night and tribulation, Through death our way we wend, With hope and expectation To see our journey's end-- The cross, the grave, death's prison, We leave behind, and rise To meet our Savior risen, And enter Paradise.

I Know My Faith Is Founded

Author: Erdmann Neumeister Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I know my faith is founded On Jesus Christ, my God and Lord; And this my faith confessing, Unmoved I stand upon His Word. Man’s reason cannot fathom The truth of God profound; Who trusts her subtle wisdom Relies on shifting ground. God’s Word is all sufficient, It makes divinely sure, And trusting in its wisdom, My faith shall rest secure. 2. Increase my faith, dear Savior, For Satan seeks by night and day To rob me of this treasure And take my hope of bliss away. But, Lord, with Thee beside me, I shall be undismayed; And led by Thy good Spirit, I shall be unafraid. Abide with me, O Savior, A firmer faith bestow; Then I shall bid defiance To every evil foe. 3. In faith, Lord, let me serve Thee; Though persecution, grief and pain Should seek to overwhelm me, Let me a steadfast trust retain; And then at my departure Take Thou me home to Thee And let me there inherit All Thou hast promised me. In life and death, Lord, keep me Until Thy Heav’n I gain. Where I by Thy great mercy The end of faith attain. Used With Tune: NUN LOB Text Sources: composite translation
