Work when the day grows brighter, Under the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man's work is done. 2 Work for the night is coming, Work thro' the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon. Give every flying minute Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3 Work for the night is coming, Under the sunset skies; While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies. Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work, while the night is dark'ning, When man's work is o'er. Amen.

Wohl dem Menschen, der nicht wandelt

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676 Appears in 80 hymnals Matching Instances: 79 Lyrics: 1 Wohl dem Menschen, der nicht wandelt in gottloser Leute Rath! Wohl dem, wer nicht unrecht handelt, noch tritt auf der Sünder Pfad, der der Spötter Freundschaft fleucht und von ihren Bänken weicht, der hingegen herzlich ehret, was uns Gott vom Himmel lehret! 2 Wohl dem, der mit Lust und Freuden das Gesetz des Höchsten treibt, und hier, als auf süßer Weiden, Tag und Nacht verharrend bleibt! Dessen Segen wächst und blüht wie ein Palmbaum, den man sieht bei den Flüssen an den Seiten seine frische Zweig ausbreiten. 3 Also, sag ich, wird auch grünen, wer in Gottes Wort sich übt; Luft und Erde wird ihm dienen, bis er reife Früchte giebt: seine Blätter werden alt und, doch niemals ungestalt, Gott giebt Glück zu seinen Thaten, was er macht, muß wohlgerathen. 4 Aber wen die Sünd erfreuet, mit dem gehts viel anders zu; er wird wie die Spreu zerstreuet von dem Wind im schnellen Nu. Wo der Herr sein Häuflein richt't, da bleibt kein Gottloser nicht. Summa: Gott liebt alle Frommen, und wer bös' ist, muß umkommen. Topics: Das Wort Gottes; The Word of God

Ach, laß mich die Gnad erlangen, allerliebster Jesu mein, und nimm meine Seel gefangen, laß sie ewig bei dir sein. 5 Ach! ich sterb vor lauter Freuden, ich find Jesum, meinen Schatz; alle Weltlust will ich meiden, bei ihm will ich finden Platz. Nunmehr soll mich nichts betrüben, was mich vor betrübet hat; nichts als Jesum will ich lieben, den mein Seel gefunden hat. 6 Liebster Jesu! meine Freude, meiner Seelen schönste Zier! Du bist meines Herzens Weide, mich verlangt ja stets nach dir. Mein Herz, Sinnen und Gedanken sollen dir ergebeu sein; laß mich nimmer von dir wanken, du sollst ewig bleiben mein.

Jesus alone defends His own, When earth and hell oppress us! Jesus with joy we witness Almighty to deliver; Our seals set to, that God is true, And reigns a King for ever. 2. Omnipotent Redeemer, Our ransomed souls adore Thee; Our Savior Thou, we find it now, And give Thee all the glory. We sing Thine arm unshortened, Brought through our sore temptation; With heart and voice in Thee rejoice, The God of our salvation. 3. Thine arm hath safely brought us A way no more expected, Than when Thy sheep passed through the deep, By crystal walls protected. Th glory was our rearward, Thy hand our lives did cover, And we, e’en we, have passed the sea, And marched triumphant over. 4. Save as devoted Peter Betwixt the soldiers sleeping, Like sheep we lay to wolves a prey, Yet still in Jesus’ keeping. Thou from th’infernal Herod, And Jewish expectation, Hast set us free! All praise to Thee O God of our salvation. 5. The world and Satan’s malice Thou, Jesus, hast confounded; And, by Thy grace, with songs of praise Our happy souls resounded. Accepting our deliverance, We triumph in Thy favor, And for the love which now we prove, Shall praise Thy name forever.

Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält

Author: Dr. Justus Jonas Appears in 28 hymnals Matching Instances: 28 Lyrics: 1 Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält, wenn unsre Feinde toben, und Er unsrer Sach' nicht zufällt im Himmel hoch dort droben; Wo Er Israel Schutz nicht ist, und selber bricht der Feinde List, so ist's mit uns verloren. 2 Was Menschen-Kraft und Witz anfäht, soll uns billig nicht schrecken; Er sitzet an der höchsten Stätt, der wird ih'n Rath aufdecken; wenn sie's aufs klügste greifen an, so geht doch Gott ein ander' Bahn, es steht in seinen Händen. 3 Sie wüthen fast und fahren her, als wollten sie uns fressen, zu würgen steht all' ihr Begehr, Gott's ist bei ihn'n vergessen: Wie Meereswellen einher schlau nach Leib und Leben sie uns stahn, deß wird sich Gott erbarmen. 4 Sie stellen uns wie Ketzern nach, nach unserm Blut sie trachten, noch rühmen sie sich Christen auch, die Gott allein groß achten. Ach Gott der theure Name Dein muß ihrer Schalkheit Deckel sein, Du wirst einmal aufwachen. 5 Aufsperren sie den Rachen weit und wollen uns verschlingen. Lob und Dank sei Gott allezeit, es wird ihn'n nicht gelingen, es wird ihr Strick zureißen gar, und stürzen ihre falsche Lahr, sie werden Gott nicht wehren. 6 Ach Herr Gott! wie reich tröstest Du, die gänzlich sind verlassen, der Gnaden Thür steht nimmer zu, Vernunft kann das nicht fassen: sie spricht, es ist nun all's verlor'n, da doch das Creuz hat neu gebor'n, die Deiner Hülf' erwarten. 7 Die Feind' sind all' in Deiner Hand, dazu all' ihr' Gedanken; ihr Anschlag sind Dir wohlbekannt, hilf nur, daß wir nicht wanken: Vernunft wider den Glauben ficht, aufs Künftig will sie trauen nicht, da Du wirst seber trösten. 8 Den Himmel und auch die Erden hast Du, Herr Gott! gegründet; Dein Licht laß hier uns helle werden, daß Herz uns werd' entzündet, in rechter Lieb des Glauben Dein bis an das End beständig sein; die Welt laß immer murren. 9 Ehr' sei Gott Vater allezeit, auch Christo eingeboren, und dem Tröster heiligem Geist, gar hoch in's Himmels Throne, wie ew im anfang und auch jetzt, gewesen ist, und bleibet stets bis an der Welt end' Amen.
