How can I thank Thee, Lord

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #252 (1893) Meter: 6.7.6 Topics: The Christian Life Experience Lyrics: 1 HOW can I thank Thee, Lord, For all Thy loving-kindness? Thou hast so long a time Had patience with my blindness, When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Thine anger every day. 2 Lord, Thou hast shown to me Divine commiseration: I persevered in sin, But Thou in great compassion; I did resist Thee, Lord, Deferring to repent; Thou didst defer Thy wrath And instant punishment. 3 It is Thy work alone, That I am now converted, Thy power o'er Satan's work In me Thou hast asserted; Thy mercy, that doth reach Unto the clouds, O Lord, Did break my stony heart By Thine own mighty Word. 4 Though able to offend Thee, Lord, by sin and failing, Still to regain Thy grace My strength was unavailing. Though I could fall from grace And choose the way of sin, I had no strength to rise, A new life to begin. 5 But Thou hast raised me up, And with divine compassion Hast shown me, Lord, the way That leadeth to salvation. I thank Thee, Lord, that now My former sins I hate, And freely--not from fear-- Dead works abominate. 6 That I may not backslide, But life in heaven inherit, Grant me, while here I live, O Lord, Thy holy Spirit, That He may give me strength In mine infirmity, And e'er renew my heart, To serve Thee willingly. 7 O guide and lead me, Lord, While here below I wander; Grant that I follow Thee, My Guide and my Commander. For if I lead myself, I soon am led astray, But if Thou leadest me, I do my duty aye. 8 O Father, God of Love, Hear now my supplication! Lord Jesus, Son of God, O grant me Thy salvation! And Thou, O Holy Ghost, Always abide with me, That I may serve Thee here, And there eternally! Languages: English

Jesus, my Truth, my Way

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #255 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Experience Lyrics: 1 JESUS, my Truth, my Way, My sure unerring Light, On Thee my feeble soul I stay, Which Thou wilt lead aright. 2 My Wisdom and my Guide, My Counselor Thou art; O let me never leave Thy side, Nor from Thy paths depart. 3 Thou seest my feebleness; Jesus, be Thou my Power, My Help and Refuge in distress, My Fortress and my Tower. 4 Give me to trust in Thee; Be Thou my sure Abode: My Horn, and Rock, and Buckler be, My Saviour and my God. 5 Myself I cannot save, Myself I cannot keep; But strength in Thee I surely have, Whose eyelids never sleep. 6 My soul to Thee alone Now, therefore, I commend: Thou, Jesus, having loved Thine own, Wilt love me to the end!

The man is ever blest

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #278 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Experience Lyrics: 1 THE man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinner's ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place. 2 But makes the Law of God His study and delight, Amid the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so the ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

Prayer was appointed to convey

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #325 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Prayer was appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live, should Christians pray, For only while they pray, they live. 2 The Christian's heart his prayer indites, He speaks as prompted from within; The Spirit his petition writes, And Christ receives, and gives it in. 3 And shall we in dead silence lie When Christ stands waiting for our prayer? My soul, thou hast a friend on high; Arise, and try thine interest there. 4 If pains afflict, or wrongs oppress-- If cares distract, or fears dismay-- If guilt deject--if sin distress, Thy remedy's before thee--pray. 5 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak, Though thought be broken--language lame, Pray, if thou canst, or canst not speak, But pray with faith in Jesus' name.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #326 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Unutter'd or express'd, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian's' vital breath, The Christians' native air, His watchword at the gates of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And say, "Behold, he prays."

What various hindrances we meet

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #327 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer, But wishes to be often there? 2 Prayer makes the darken'd cloud withdraw, Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian’s armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees.

From ev'ry stormy wind that blows

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #328 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 From ev'ry stormy wind that blows, From ev'ry swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat, ’Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend, Though sunder'd far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismay'd; Or how the host of hell defeat, Had suff'ring saints no mercy-seat? 5 There, there, on eagle wings we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more, And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat! 6 Oh, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #329 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Come, you disconsolate, where'er ye languish, Come, at the mercy-seat fervently kneel: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, Light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, boundless in love; Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has its sorrows, but Heaven can remove.

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #330 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea; With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burden'd souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bow'd down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely press'd, By war without, and fear within, I come to Thee for rest. 4 Be Thou my shield and hiding-place; That, shelter'd near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, "Thou hast died." 5 Oh, wondrous love, to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead Thy gracious name.
