O Thou Essential Word

Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #275 (1908) Lyrics: 1 O Thou Essential Word, Who wast from the beginning With God, for Thou wast God; Thou hope of all the sinning, Sent down to save our race, Most welcome, Lord, Thou art, Redeemer, Fount of grace, To this my longing heart. 2 Come, self-existent Word, And speak Thou in my spirit! The soul where Thou art heard Doth endless peace inherit. Thou Light that lightenest all, Abide through faith in me, Nor let me from Thee fall, And seek no guide but Thee. 3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart, What cry hath mounted thither, And reached Thy heavenly throne, And drawn Thee, Savior, hither? It was Thy wondrous love, And my most utter need, Made Thy compassions move, Stronger than death indeed. 4 Then let me give my heart To Him who loved me, wholly; And live, while here I dwell, To show His praises solely: Yes, Jesus, form anew This stony heart of mine, Make it till death still true To Thee, forever Thine. 5 Let naught be left within But what Thy hand hath planted; Root out the weeds of sin, And quell the foe who haunted My soul, and sowed the tares; From Thee comes nothing ill, O save me from his snares, Make plain my pathway still. 6 Thou art the Life, O Lord, And Thou its Light art only! Let not Thy blessed rays Still leave me dark and lonely. Star of the East, arise! Drive all my clouds away, Till earth’s dim twilight dies Into the perfect day.

O God, Thou faithful God

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #330 (1908) Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever-flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips still duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace; Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, That nought be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed. Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing here earth Me from my Savior sever; And when I die, O take My soul to Thee forever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my kindred' grave, And o'er it vigil keep. 8 And when the Day is come, And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

In every trying hour, O King of kings, be nigh With Thy resistless power! Against the tempter's arts, Thy mighty aid afford, That I may never yield; Forsake me not, my God! 4 Forsake me not, my God!

How Can I Thank Thee, Lord

Author: August Crull, d. 1923; David Denicke; Johann Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #417 (1941) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How can I thank Thee, Lord, For all Thy loving-kindness, That Thou hast patiently Borne with me in my blindness? When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Thine anger ev'ry day. 2 It is Thy work alone That I am now converted; O'er Satan's work in me Thou hast Thy pow'r asserted. Thy mercy and Thy grace That rise afresh each morn Have turned my stony heart Into a heart new-born. 3 I could but grieve Thee, Lord, And with my sins displease Thee; Yet to atone for sin My works could not appease Thee. Though I could fall from grace And choose the way of sin, I had not strength to rise, A new life to begin. 4 Lord, Thou have raised me up To joy and exultation And clearly shown the way That leads me to salvation. My sins are washed away, For this I thank Thee, Lord; And with my heart and soul All dead works are abhorred. 5 Grant that Thy Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven; That he may give me strength In my infirmity And e'er renew my heart To serve Thee willingly. 6 Oh, guide and lead me, Lord, While here below I wander That I may follow Thee Till I shall see Thee yonder. For if I led myself, I soon would go astray; But if Thou leadest me, I keep the narrow way. 7 O Father, God of Love, Hear Thou my supplication; O Savior, Son of God, Grant me Thy full salvation; And Thou, O Holy Ghost, Be Thou my faithful Guide That I may serve Thee here And there with Thee abide.

Uphold me in my going, That evermore I may Please Thee in all well-doing; And that Thy will, O Lord, May never be forgot In all my works and ways: My God, forsake me not! 5 Forsake me not, my God! I would be Thine for ever: Confirm me mightily In every right endeavor: And when my hour is come, Cleansed from all stain and spot Of sin, receive my soul: My God, forsake me not!
