May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #391 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill,
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above:
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love.
2 So may we join Thy name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee.
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
3 Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase.
Thy gracious help supply:
To each of us the blessing give,
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die. Languages: English
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
Who knew no sin and no deceiving
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #402 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Who knew no sin and no deceiving,
Has borne my sin and my distress;
And I by grace in Him believing,
Now deck me with His righteousness.
As He is sinner to my good,
So I am holy through His blood.
2 Nay not in me, self-righteous were it,
On God's grace rests my holiness;
He looks on Christ's atoning merit,
And counts this as my righteousness:
This I believe, and hence my claim,
That I am holy in His name.
3 In Christ, by faith then, I am holy,
In self though 'tis not yet the case;
But I will likewise now so wholly
Seek e'er in life to walk by grace,
That soul and body may remain
All blameless till Christ come again.
4 I will devote my every member
To serve in righteousness God's will,
Then when I falter, e'er remember
That I may trust God's mercy still;
And pray that God would guide through strife,
That I may lead a holy life.
5 Thus will I walk, O God, before Thee,
That my light too may shine alway,
And that I by my life adore Thee,
Till I at length on that great day
In life and self shall holy be,
And wholly perfect, Lord, with Thee. Languages: English

Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a409 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt deal Thou with me,
No other wish I cherish;

O Lord, let me not perish!
Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part,
Else as thou wilt, grant patient heart:
Thy will the best is ever.

Lo, what a pleasing sight
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a392 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight
Are brethren that agree!
How blest are all whose hearts unite
In bonds of piety!
2 From those celestial springs,
Such streams of comfort flow,
As no increase of riches brings,
Nor honors can bestow.
3 All in their stations move,
And each performs his part,
In all the cares of life and love,
With sympathizing heart.
4 Formed for the purest joys,
By one desire possesed,
One aim the zeal of all employs,
To make each other blest.
5 No bliss can equal theirs,
Where such affections meet;
While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs,
Make their communion sweet.
6 'Tis the same pleasure fills
The breast in worlds above,
Where joy like morning dew distils,
And all the air is love. Languages: English
Lo, what a pleasing sight
Heavenward doth our journey tend
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a407 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Heavenward doth our journey tend,
Here on earth we are but strangers,
Towards our promised Land we wend,
Through a wilderness of dangers;
Here we roam a pilgrim-band,
Yonder is our native land.
2 Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings,
Thou canst claim a heavenly nature;
Cleave not to these earthly things,
Thou canst rest not in the creature.
Every soul that God inspires,
Back to Him, its Source, aspires.
3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry,
Oft as in His word I hear Him;
Pointing to the rest on high
Where I shall be ever near Him.
When His Word fills all my thought,
Oft to heaven my soul is caught.
4 Heavenward still I long to haste,
When Thy Supper, Lord, is given;
Heavenly strength on earth I taste,
Feeding on the Bread of Heaven;
Such is e'en on earth our fare,
Who Thy marriage feast will share.
5 Heavenward! To that blessed home
Death at last will surely lead me;
All my trials overcome,
Christ with life and joy will feed me;
Who Himself hath gone before
That we too might heavenward soar.
6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry
While a pilgrim here I wander,
Passing earth's allurements by
For the love of what is yonder;
Heavenward all my being tends,
Till in Heaven my journey ends.

Heavenward doth our journey tend
Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a429 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal,
Yea, all flesh must fade as grass,
Only through a death-rent portal
To a better world ye pass;
Dust to dust must sink inglorious,
Ere this body rise victorious
To the realms of life and light,
Won for saints through Jesus' might.
2 Therefore, when my Father chooses,
Willingly my life I'll yield;
He but gains, nay never loses,
Who with Jesus quits the field.
For in my Redeemer's merit
Peace hath found my troubled spirit,
And in death my comfort is
Jesus' death--sweet comfort this!
3 Jesus died for me, O hear it!
And His death is all my gain;
Shall I then, yet wav'ring, fear it,
Since with Christ I rise again?
Joyfully I'll quit earth's sadness
For the beauteous heaven of gladness;
Where I shall forevermore
See the Triune, and adore!
4 There is life, life never ending,
Where so many saints are gone,
Where in light the thousands blending
Worship God before the throne.
Seraphim there flit before us,
Swelling heaven with august chorus:
"Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!
God Triune, for aye adored!"
5 Worthies, there, of sacred story,
Prophets, patriarchs, are met;
There apostles too in glory
Fill twelve thrones by Jesus set;
All the saints that have ascended
Age on age, through time extended,
There, in blissful concert, sing
Hallelujahs to their King.
6 O Jerusalem, how golden
Dost thou shine, thou city blest!
Sweetly thy near tones embolden
My winged soul to seek my rest.
O the bliss that there surprises!
Lo, the sun of morn now rises,
And the breaking day I see,
That shall never end for me!
7 Yea, I see what here was told me,
See that wondrous glory shine,
Feel the spotless robes enfold me,
Know a golden crown is mine;
Thus I stand and look before me
To the throne that rises o'er me,
Gazing on that joy for aye,
That shall never pass away! Languages: English
Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal
Jesus, my Redeemer, lives
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a456 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives,
Christ, my Trust, is dead no more;
In the strength this knowledge gives,
Shall not all my fears be o'er?
Calm, though the death's long night be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought?
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives,
And His life I once shall see;
Bright the hope the promise gives,
Where He is I too shall be.
Shall I fear then? Can the Head
Rise and leave the members dead?
3 Close to Him my soul is bound!
In the bonds of hope enclasped;
Faith's strong hand this soul hath found,
And the Rock hath firmly grasped;
Death shall ne'er my soul remove
From her refuge in Thy love.
4 I shall see Him with these eyes--
Him whom I shall surely know;
Not another shall I rise,
With His love this heart shall glow;
Only there shall disappear
Weakness in and round me here.
5 Ye who suffer, sigh, and moan,
Fresh and glorious there shall reign;
Earthly here the seed is sown,
Heavenly it shall rise again;
Natural here the death we die,
Spiritual our life on high.
6 Body, be thou of good cheer,
In thy Savior's care rejoice;
Give not place to gloom and fear--
Dead, thou yet shalt know His voice,
When the final trump is heard,
And the deaf, cold grave is stirred.
7 Laugh to scorn then death and hell,
Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave;
Caught into the air to dwell
With the Lord who comes to save,
We shall trample on our foes,
Mortal weakness, fear and woes.
8 Only see ye that your heart
Rise betimes from earthly lust;
Would ye there with Him have part,
Here obey your Lord and trust,
Fix your hearts beyond the skies,
Whither ye yourselves would rise.
