A Lamb Goes Forth Our Griefs To Share

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A Lamb goes forth our griefs to share, In spirit meek and lowly; He deigns our sin and guilt to bear, This Lamb of God most holy. He goes His way, grows weak and faint, To death is led without complaint, His precious life to offer. He gladly suffers pain and death, And tells us with His dying breath: For you all this I proffer. 2 This gentle Lamb, our dearest Friend, Before the world's foundation Was chosen all our woes to end, To merit our salvation. Said God: My Son, the Savior be Of those who are condemned by Me Because of their transgression. Great is My wrath and sore their loss; Go, die for them upon the cross, Make heaven their possession. 3 The Son replied: O Father mine, To suffer I am willing; My will is in accord with Thine, All righteousness fulfilling.-- O wondrous Love, what hast Thou done! God offers up His only Son, And He to earth descendeth. Here, Love, Thy strength is manifest: He suffers death at Thy behest Whose word the mountains rendeth. 4 Suspended on the tree of shame, He suffers mortal anguish; For all our sins He takes the blame, In grief His soul must languish. His sighs are proof of mortal pain, And opened up is ev'ry vein, His blood in mercy flowing. O gentle Lamb, what shall it be That I in turn may offer Thee, My grateful spirit showing? 5 As long as I my breath retain, Thy tender love beholding, I faithful shall to Thee remain And rest in Thine enfolding. Thy love within my heart shall shine, And I shall prize that light divine Till death mine eyelids closeth; Thou shalt my very being own, And I shall live to Thee alone; My all in Thee reposeth. 6 When I at last Thy kingdom see, With all its boundless treasure, Thy blood my purple robe shall be, My source of joy and pleasure. It shall become my royal crown When I before God's throne kneel down, In deepest homage bending. Then He will place me at Thy side, Bedecked and jeweled as a bride, With angel hosts attending.

A Lamb bears all the guilt away

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelley Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A Lamb bears all its guilt away The world thus to deliver, All sins of sinners patiently It bears and murmurs never. It goes, and weak and sick is made, An off'ring on the altar laid, All pleasure it forsaketh, Submits to shame, and scorn, and wrath, To anguish, wounds, stripes, cross, and death, This cup with gladness taketh. 2 This spotless Lamb, our soul’s great Friend, And everlasting Savior, God chooseth sin’s dread reign to end And bring us to His favor. Go forth, my Son! redeem to Thee The children who’re exposed by me To punishment and anger. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And free them thus this danger. 3 Shrine of my heart! now opened be, To thee shall now be given Fair treasures that far greater be Than earth, and sea, and heaven. Away, gold of Arabia, Myrrh, calamus, and cassia! Far better I discover. My priceless treasure is, O Thou My Jesus! what so freely now From Thy wounds floweth over! 4 And when at last heav’n’s gate I see, And taste the kingdom’s pleasure, This blood shall then my purple be, I’ll clothe me in this treasure; It shall be then my glorious crown, In which I’ll stand before the throne Of God, with none to blame me; And as a bride in fair array, I’ll stand beside my Lord that day, Who woo’d, and then will claim me.

O Jesu, for din Alterfod

Author: Petter Dass Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, for din Alterfod Vi komme her at knæle, Og søge der en Helsebod For vore syge Sjæle. Vi komme paa dit Guddoms-Ord Som Gjester til dit Bryllups-Bord, At mættes af din Manna, Giv os en salig Smag derpaa, At vi til Pris dig synge maa Et frydfuldt Hosianna. 2 En større Skat en ønskes kan Af alt det, man kan have, End at vor egen Frelsermand Os giver til en Gave. Han siger saa, den Himmel-Ven: Det er mit Legen, tager hen, Mit Blod jeg vil forære! Vi faa ham vist saa, som han er, Vi faa ham paa vor Tros Begjær, Hvad kan der større være! 3 Og om jeg ikke kan forstaa Guds Vei og skjulte Maade, Jeg tviler intet dog derpaa, Men lader Herren raade. En sattig Gjest har og et Rum I Herrens Hus og Helligdom, Min Jesus mig der møder; Om jeg ei lige veed hans Vei, Han dog mig, arme Synder, ei Bort fra sit Bord udstøder. 4 O kristne Folk, saa kommer nu Og hjælper os at sjunge; Vi komme Jesu Død ihu, Og vidne med vor Tunge: Tak, tak, o søde Jesu Krist! Tak for alt Godt, os er bevist, Tak for din Død, din Pine, Tak for du var saa tryg en Ven, At du dig selv har givet hen, Kjøbt os at være Dine! 5 Pris være dig for hver en Gang, Du mætted vore Sjæle, Pris være dig, som hjalp af Trang, Naar Synd os vilde kvæle! Gud Fader selv af Himmerig Til evig Tid velsigner dig, Som bar dn tunge Byrde, Du lydig hen til Døden gaar, Og løste de fortabte Faar Fra den, os vilde myrde. 6 Dit Minde skal, o Jesu, staa Uglemt i Sind og Tanke, Velsignet i hver lønlig Vraa, Hvor fromme Hjerter banke; Og hvor der brydes helligt Brød, Der skal forkyndes Herrens Død Blandt unge Folk og gamle, Indtil du synlig kommer frem I Skyen, os at hente hjem, Og i dit Rige samle.
