Christian, seek not yet repose

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a395 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast thy dreams of ease away, Thou art in the midst of foes, Therefore watch and pray. 2 Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; Near thee lurks the evil one, Therefore watch and pray. 3 Listen to the sorrowing Lord, Him thou loves to obey; It is He who speaks the Word, Therefore watch and pray. 4 'Twas in watching and in prayer, Holy men of olden day Won the palms and crowns they wear; Therefore watch and pray. 5 Watch, for Thou Thy guard must keep; Pray, for God must speed thy way; Narrow is the road and steep, Therefore watch and pray.

Self-righteous souls on works rely

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a397 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely, And boast their mortal dignity; But if I lisp a song of praise, Grace is the note my soul shall raise. 2 'Twas grace that quickened me when dead, And grace my soul to Jesus led; Grace brings me pardon for my sin-- 'Tis grace subdues my lusts within. 3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross, 'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss; In Jesus' grace my soul is strong-- Grace is my hope and Christ my song. 4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near; And 'tis by grace I persevere; 'Tis grace constrains my soul to love-- Free grace is all they sing above. 5 Through endless years of grace I'll sing, Adore and bless my heavenly King; I'll cast my crown before His throne, Saved by His sov'reign grace alone.

Though in the midst of life we be

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a428 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Though in the midst of life we be, Snares of death surround us; Where shall we for succor flee, Lest our foes confound us? To Thee alone, our Savior! We mourn our grievous sin which hath Stirred the fire of Thy fierce wrath. Holy and gracious God! Holy and mighty God! Holy and all-merciful Savior! Thou eternal God! Save us, Lord, from sinking In the deep and bitter flood. Kyrie eleison. 2 While in midst of death we be, Hell's grim jaws o'ertake us; Who from such distress will free, Who secure will make us? Thou only, Lord, canst do it! It moves Thy tender heart to see Our great sin and misery. Holy and gracious God! Holy and mighty God! Holy and all-merciful Savior! Thou eternal God! Let not hell dismay us With its deep and burning flood. Kyrie eleison. 3 Into hell's fierce agony Sin doth headlong drive us; Where shall we for succor flee, Who, O who will hide us? Thou only, blessed Savior! Thy precious blood was shed to win Peace and pardon for our sin. Holy and gracious God! Holy and mighty God! Holy and all-merciful Savior! Let us not, we pray, From the true Faith's comfort In our last need fall away. Kyrie eleison. Languages: English

Teach me the measure of my days

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a432 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame! I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A span is all that we can boast; A fleeting hour of time; Man is but vanity and dust, In all His flower and prime. 3 Vain race of mortals, see them move Like shadows o'er the plain: They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 4 Some walk in honor's gaudy show; Some dig for golden ore; They toil for whom they do not know, And straight are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then, From creatures, earth, and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6 Now I resign my earthly hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Languages: English

So fades the lovely, blooming flower

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a444 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower; Frail, smiling solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no healing art To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh; Thy comforts are not made to die. 3 Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope revives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a453 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav’nly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

Thee, Lord, our God, we praise

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #356 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Thee Lord, our God, we praise, To Thee, God, thanks we raise, All the earth doth worship Thee, Father in eternity; All angels and the heavenly host, Vieing who may praise Thee most; All Cherubim and Seraphim, Ever tuning the lofty hymn: "Holy art Thou, our God! Holy art Thou, our God! Holy art Thou, our God! Jehovah Saboath!" 2 Thy glorious power and mighty name Rise over heaven and nature's frame. The holy twelve Apostles all, The Prophets Thou of old didst call, The martyrs goodly company-- Send up their hymns of praise to Thee. All Christendom with one accord Exalt and praise their common Lord-- Thee, Father, on Thy lofty throne, Thy well-beloved, Only Son, The Holy Ghost, the Comforter, They praise and honor evermore. 3 O Christ, to Thee, the glorious King, Eternal Son of God, we sing. To save our race from sin forlorn Thou camest, of chaste virgin born. Thou didst endure death's sharpest pain, And open heaven for us again. As equal there at God's right hand Thou sittest in supreme command. Thou, our exalted risen Head, Wilt be the Judge of quick and dead. 4 Now help us, Lord, Thy servants here, Whom Thou hast saved with blood so dear, Let us have portion with the blest In Thine eternal, glorious rest. Lord Jesus, bless Thine heritage, And shield Thy fold from age to age. Protect and nurse Thine own with care, Then let them endlessly glory share. 5 Daily, our God, we'll sing Thy praise, And bless Thy name throughout our days. Keep us, O Lord, throughout this day From sin and every evil way: Have mercy upon us, O Lord; In all our need Thy grace afford; Thy mercy unto us e'er show, It is our only hope below. Dear Lord! our hopes all rest in Thee, Oh! let us ne'er confounded be. Amen! Languages: English

The Spirit's fruits are peace and love

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #383 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love, And purity from heaven above; Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy, With goodness, new-born lives employ. 2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain, Imparts the grace that will sustain; And grace its work in those who show, Who truly to the Spirit sow. 3 They that are Christ's have crucified Their flesh with all its lusts and pride, And seek in truth what they profess, And walk the paths of holiness. 4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart, Nor let Thy Spirit from us part; O save us from still hidden sin, And form our nature pure within: 5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong, We grow the more as strifes prolong, And of the Spirit reap at last Eternal life, when strife is past.

Go to dark Gethsemane

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #384 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n! he meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Languages: English
