Lord, at thy temple we appear

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Visitation of the Sick For such as are supposed to be just expiring Lyrics: 1 Lord, at thy temple we appear, As happy Simeon came, And hope to meet our Saviour here; O make our joys the same! 2 With what divine and vast delight The good old man was fill'd, When fondly in his wither'd arms He clasp'd the Holy child; 3 "Now I can leave this world, he cry'd, "Behold, thy servant dies; "I've seen thy great salvation, Lord, "And close my peaceful eyes. 4 "This is the light prepar'd to shine "Upon the Gentile lands, "Thine Israel's glory, and their hope, "To break their slavish bands." 5 [Jesus! the vision of thy face Hath overpow'ring charms! Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace, If Christ be in my arms. 6 Then while ye hear my heart-strings break, How sweet my minutes roll! A mortal paleness on my cheek, And glory in my soul.]

Ein Gesang von Maria und Elisabeth

Author: Johann Heermann Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Feast of the Visitation First Line: Maria ging hinauf geschwind Lyrics: 1 Maria ging hinauf geschwind und in denselben Tagen, da sie empfangen hat ihr Kind, das uns mit Gott vertragen, ging sie mit Eil von Nazareth zu ihrer Muhm', Elisabeth, das Wunder ihr zu sagen. 2 Sie kömmt in's Haus fein endelich, fängt lieblich an zu grüßen, die Augenbrünnlein müssen sich für Freud' und Lieb' ergießen; der Gruß Elisabeth durchdringt, das Kind im leibe hüpft und springt, mit seinen zarten Füßen. 3 Bald ruft die Mutter laut und schrei't durch Gottes Geist entzündet, du bist und bleibst gebenedei't, für allen die man findet, gebenedeiet ist allhier, auch deine Leibesfrucht in dir, die Gott und uns verbindet. 4 Woher ist nun mir Armen doch die Ehr' und Gnade kommen, daß du, die Gott selbst ehret hoch, den Weg zu mir genommen, du bist die Mutter meines Herrn, die man wird preisen weit und fern, hier muß ich gleich verstummen. 5 Sabald ich deinen Gruß h¨rt' an, da hüpft in mir mit Freuden das Kind, woraus ich schließen kann, es wisse gar gescheiden, daß nun der Held fürhanden sei, der Israel wird machen frei, und als ein Hirte weiden. 6 O selig, die du hast geglaubt, um seiner Wahrheit willen wird Gott, der Wahrheit ist und bleibt, dies ganz an dir erfüllen, was dir der Engel hat vermeld't, du wirst gebären den zur Welt, der Gottes Zorn wird stillen. 7 Maria sang Gott Lob und Dank mit fröhlichem Gemüthe, sie blieb daselbst drei Monat lang, und rühmte Gottes Güte, nach diesem zog sie heim und sprach: nun sei gesegnet tausendfach, Gott dich und mich behüte.

Why should we start, and fear to die?

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 429 hymnals Topics: Visitation of the Sick Lyrics: 1 Why should we start, and fear to die? What tim'rous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife Fright our approaching souls away; Still we shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh! if my Lord would come and meet, My soul should stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless thro' death’s iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she pass'd. 4 Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there.

Whate'er my God ordains is right

Meter: Irregular Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Offices of the Church Visitation of the Sick Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right; His will is ever just; Howe'er He orders now my cause, I will be still and trust. He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall, Wherefore to Him I leave it all. 2 Whate'er my God ordains is right; He never will deceive; He leads me by the proper path, And so to Him I cleave, And take content What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 3 Whate'er my God ordains is right; Though I the cup must drink That bitter seems to my faint heart, I will not fear nor shrink; Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate'er my God ordains is right; My Light, My Life is He, Who cannot will me aught but good; I trust Him utterly; For well I know, In joy or woe, We soon shall see, as sunlight clear, How faithful was our Guardian here. 5 Whate'er my God ordains is right; Here swill I take my stand, Though sorrow, need, or death make earth For me a desert land. My Father's care Is around me there, He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all.
