Lord Jesus Christ, Thou highest good!

Author: B. Ringwald Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #98 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.7 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, Thou highest good! To whom Thy ransomed flee, Behold in penitential mood A suppliant bows to Thee. Through Thee I seek the Father's throne, Forgiveness ask through Thee alone, And strength for holy living. 2 Beneath a load of guilt I sigh; Relieve my fainting heart-- Thou who in mortal agony Didst bear my sin and smart. Of Thee alone I crave relief; Leave me not now in fear and grief And dark despair to perish. 3 O where for comfort shall I turn, When I the past survey? How oft I've dared Thy grace to spurn, And cast my bliss away: Yet thine availing merit, Lord, Deliverance and peace afford; Thy word is all my solace. 4 This word, for ever precious, saith The humble, contrite mind That looks to Thee in simple faith Shall full salvation find; And then, from sin's dominion free, Display true thankfulness to Thee, Devoted to Thy glory. 5 To Thee I come at Thy behest, Atoner of my sin! Forgiveness and the promised rest Through Thy desert to win. Be merciful, my God, to me, And let no more remembered be The days of sin and folly. 6 Teach me, O Lord, before Thy face This wayward heart to still; With joyfulness to run my race, And do Thy blessed will. In a plain path do Thou me guide, That faithful I may still abide, And quit me to Thine honor. 7 And pour Thine oil of joy on me When, the last moment nigh, The parting spirit would be free To join Thy saints on high. Then may Thy death, Lord, cheer my heart; And in Thy faith may I depart To dwell with Thee for ever. Tune Title: [Lord Jesus Christ, Thou highest good!]

There in a Glass our Hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought! Then they provoke him to his Face, Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain, And made their Travels long and vain; A tedious March through unknown Ways Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days. 4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their Abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise, As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes, While their rebellious Tempers prove False to his Cov'nant and his Love. 6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive The Men who not deserv'd to live; His Anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail, He saw Temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still, And led them to his holy Hill.
