Father of all our mercies, Thou

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #385 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Father of all our mercies, Thou In whom we move and live, Hear us in heav'n, Thy dwelling, now, And answer and forgive. 2 When harassed by ten thousand foes, Our helplessness we feel, O give the weary soul repose, The wounded spirit heal. 3 When dire temptations gather round, And threaten or allure, By storm or calm, in Thee be found A refuge strong and sure. 4 From day to day, O may we grow In faith, in hope, and love, And walk in holiness below To holiness above.

The man is ever blessed

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #386 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 That man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners ways; Amongst their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God Hid study and delight, Amidst 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 th' 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 that 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.

Teach me the measure of my days

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #432 (1880) 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 #444 (1880) 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 #453 (1880) 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.
