Lord, Disperse the Mists of Error

Author: Johan Åström Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, disperse the mists of error, In Thy light let me see light; Give Thou me that faith and vision Whereby I may walk aright. In my Saviour's path discerning, Through this vale of doubt and strife, Footsteps to eternal life. 2 Shed Thy light upon my pathway, Be my light in death's dark hour. Let me, freed from sin's dread burden, From the Law's accusing power, Nearer draw, and ever nearer, To that land with glory bright, Where Thou art Eternal Light. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good!

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good! Thou spreadst for our salvation Thy body and Thy blood as food, And giv'st us invitation; As weary souls, with sin oppressed, We come to Thee for needed rest, For counsel and forgiveness. 2 Although Thou didst ascend to heaven, Where angels bow before Thee, And now to mortals 'tis not given By sight here to adore Thee, Until begins Thy judgment grand, When we before Thy throne shall stand, And cheerfully behold Thee; 3 Yet art Thou ever with us, Lord, And with Thy congregation, And not confined--so says Thy Word-- To any habitation. Firm as a rock Thy Word still stands, Unshaken by the en'mies' hands, Though they be e'er so cunning. 4 Thou say'st: "This is my body; eat, And orally receive me! This is my blood; drink all of it, And henceforth never leave me!" Thou art almighty, and with Thee Impossible is nothing. 5 Although my reason cannot see How in so many places Thy body at one time may be, Yet faith Thy Word embraces. How it can be, I leave to Thee, Thy Word alone sufficeth me, For Thou wilt that we trust it. 6 Lord, I believe in simple trust, Strength in my weakness give me, For I am nought but sinful dust, Nor of Thy Word bereave me! Thy Baptism, Supper, and Thy Word, My consolation are, O Lord, For they contain my treasure. 7 Grant that we worthily receive Thy Supper, Lord our Savior, That for our sins we truly grieve, And prove by our behavior That we obtained Thy saving grace, And trust in it throughout our days; Then will our life be godly. 8 For Thy consoling Supper, Lord, Be praised throughout all ages! Preserve it, for with one accord The world against it rages. Grant that Thy body and Thy blood May be my sole comfort and sweet food In my last moments. Amen! Topics: Catechism

O Jesus Christ, Thou Bread of Life

Author: Johann Rist Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, thou Bread of Life, To sinners freely given Who of their evil ways repent, Cast out all earthly leaven, And graciously my heart prepare The Holy Supper now to share, With Thee in blest communion. 2 Deign to Thine altar, blessed Lord, By Thine own hand to lead me, There to renew Thy covenant, And with Thy gifts to feed me; O give me, in Thy flesh and blood, To taste and see that Thou are good; My soul refresh and quicken. 3 O give me strength to walk with Thee, And grace Thy steps to follow, Thus to fulfill the last of God, To Him my service hallow. Bless now Thy sacramental guest, Take Thine abode within my breast, And nevermore forsake me. 4 Cleanse me of all iniquity, Renew my heart within me; My soul so fully occupy That evil shall not win me. As Thou didst suffer on the cross, So teach Thy child to suffer loss, Through faith in Thee, my Saviour. 5 Thy grace, O God, I merit less Than strips of Thy chastising; In all my sins and dire distress I yet were agonizing, Save for the willing sacrifice Of Christ, who bought us with a price, And earned our full salvation. 6 Sore stricken, unto Thee I come, For grace and succor pleading, Mine eyes are blind; to Thee I turn For light and gentle leading. Whene'er I stumble, raise me up; When faint and famished, from Thy cup, Lord, tender me Thy healing! 7 Come, Saviour dear, with me abide, Thy love in me upwelling; O Holy Spirit, be my Guide, And make my heart Thy dwelling. In all my griefs my comfort be, Grant me that unity with Thee Which life nor death can sever. 8 Before Thy sacred table, Lord, My prayers grow faint and falter; Now make me worthy to partake The bounties of Thine altar. If one with Thee Thou make me there. I know that also I shall share With Thee the joy of heaven. Amen.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place, a rest in tribulations, to us, thine own redeemed race, through all our generations. Thou, ere the mountains sprang to birth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth, art God from everlasting. 2 Thou turnest man again to clay; by thee that doom was spoken; as with a torrent borne away, gone like a sleep when broken. A thousand years are in the sight but as a watch amid the night, or yesterday departed. 3 At morn we flourish like the grass, when green and fresh it groweth, which, withered ere the evening pass, the sweeping sickle moweth. Thus do thy chastisements consume our blasted hopes, our early bloom, we fade at thy displeasure. 4 Lo! thou hast set before thine eyes all our misdeeds and errors; our secret sins from darkness rise to thy confronting terrors. At thy rebuke, cut short by death, our life is like the transient breath, that told a bygone story. 5 Our days are three-score years and ten; ten more man's strength may borrow; but if the span be lengthened then that strength is toil and sorrow; for soon arrives the closing hour: but who discern thy fearful power, proportioned to thine anger? 6 Lord, teach us so to count our days, that we may prize them duly, and set our heart on wisdom's ways, that we may praise thee truly. Return, thy servants' griefs behold, and with thy mercy, as of old, O, satisfy us early! 7 restore us comfort for our fears, joy for our long affliction; our children give through changing years increasing benediction. Thy glorious beauty, Lord, reveal; and with thy prospering favour seal thy servants and their labours. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
