The God of your forefathers praise
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
The God of your forefathers praise,
Thou, Brethren's Congregation!
Whose mighty arm, by wondrous ways,
Accomplished their salvation:
He heard their groans, came down and broke
The bigot's chain, the tyrant's yoke,
And led them forth to freedom.
He brought them to his chosen place,
Among the woods and mountains;
The desert fled before their face.
Gardens, and fields, and fountains,
Round their new homes and temple sprang,
While day and night hosannas rang
Through all their little Zion.
286
They walked with God in peace and love,
But failed with one another;
While sternly for the faith they strove,
Brother fell out with brother:
But He, in whom they put their trust,
Who knew their frames, that they were dust,
Pitied and healed their weakness.
He found them in His house of prayer,
With one accord assembled,
And so reveal'd His presence there,
They wept for joy, and trembled;
One cup they drank, one bread they brake,
One baptism shared, one language spake,
Forgiving and forgiven.
Then forth they went with tongues of flame,
In one blest theme delighting,
The love of Jesus, and His Name
God's children all uniting!
That love, our theme and watchword still;
That law of love may we fulfil,
And love as we have loved.
Jesus, Thy little flock behold,
Here met in sweet communion,
Confirm, as in the years of old,
Our sacramental union;
Renew that day of Pentecost,
Send down on us the Holy Ghost,
The promise of the Father.
Now blow the trump of Jubilee,
And while the Church rejoices,
287
As in one faith, hope, charity,
Join songs, and hearts, and voices,
To Father, Son, and Spirit raise,
On earth, the song of heavenly praise,
Sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy."

The God of your forefathers praise
O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine
Author: B. Ringwaldt; S. Jonasson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine,
And giver of all blessing,
Thou, with the Father and the Son,
True Godhead art possessing,
And from them both art shed abroad,
Eternal Spirit, Lord and God,
In Thee all Christians glory.
2 O Spirit blest, we Thee entreat:
O grant us that we ever,
With heart and soul, as it is meet,
May serve our Lord and Savior
And Him confess till our last breath,
As Lord of life and Lord of death
And give Him praise and honor.
3 Our hearts let new-created be,
Our walk make pure and holy.
Help us offense and sin to flee,
And ever serve God solely,
So that our faith in Christ, our Lord,
May prove itself in deed and word
Before the world about us.
4 Thy gracious heavenly dew let fall,
The fainting Church to quicken;
Thy soothing ointment pour on all
Whose souls are sad and stricken;
Sustain us, Lord, in evil days,
And let our lives in all our ways
Abound in love and mercy.
5 Give strength and courage to contend
Against the hosts of evil,
That we may vanquish, in the end,
The world, the flesh, the devil;
And when death's billow o'er us rolls,
Bear Thou to heaven our ransomed souls,
While dust to dust returneth. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost; The Church Year Pentecost; Holy Ghost Our Comforter Used With Tune: [O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine]

The Lord Hath Helped Me Hitherto

His goodness thus revealing.
His mercies ev'ry morn were new
With gifts of grace and healing.
He led me gently on my way,
And I could say each closing day:
The faithful Lord hath helped me.
2 The voice of thanks I gladly raise
In psalms devoutly chanted
And sing the Lord's immortal praise
For all the blessings granted.
Great things the Lord hath done for me,
And so my song shall ever be:
The Lord my God doth help me.
3 Be Thou my Helper evermore,
My Refuge, my High Tower;
Uphold me as in days of yore
And let me feel Thy power.

Whoso believes and is baptized
Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Whoso believes and is baptized
God’s kingdom shall inherit,
For he is cleansed by Jesus Christ
Who, by His grace and merit,
Adopts him as His child and heir,
Grants him in heaven’s bliss to share
And seals him with His Spirit.
We ask with earnest faith of Thee,
Our Lord and blest Defender,
That Thou wilt guide us constantly
And, in Thy mercy tender,
Keep us in our baptismal grace
Until at last we take our place
With Thee ’midst heaven’s splendor.
Whoso believes and is baptized
Out of the Depths
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Out of the depths to Thee I raise Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths to Thee I raise
The voice of lamentation;
Lord, turn a gracious ear to me,
And hear my supplication.
If Thou shouldst count our every sin,
Each evil deed or thought within,
O who could stand before Thee?
2 To wash away the crimson stain
Grace, grace alone prevaileth.
Our works, alas! are all in vain;
In much the best life faileth.
For none can glory in Thy sight,
All must alike confess Thy might
And live alone by mercy.
3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord,
And not in mine own merit.
On God my soul shall rest; God's work
Upholds my fainting spirit.
God's promised mercy is my fort,
My comfort, and my strong support;
I wait for it with patience.
4 What though I wait the live-long night,
And till the dawn appeareth,
My heart still trusteth in God's might;
It doubteth not nor feareth:
So let the Israelites in heart,
Born of the Spirit, do their part,
And wait till God appeareth.
