Warum traur'st du, bange seele?

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Laments of the Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Warum traur'st du, bange seele? Da dein licht, Jesus spricht: Komm zu mir, o seele! Komm mühselig und beladen; Hier ist rath, Wort und that Für den seelenschaden. 2 Schmerzen deine sündenwunden; Drückt die last, Die du hast Dir selbst aufgebunden; Jesus will die bürde heben; Nur herzu, Hier ist ruh; Hier ist heil und leben. 3 Er hebt selbst von einem rücken Alle last Die dich fast Will in abgrund drücken. Schreckt dich tod, gericht, verderben; Zage nicht; Jesus spricht: Nein, du solst nicht sterben. 4 Denke thränend seine wunden, Golgatha, Da, ach da Hat er dich entbunden; Dort umfingen deine sünden, Deine Herrn, Der so gern Sich von dir läßt finden. 5 Dort floß heil her zu der erde, Wasser, blut, Dir zu gut, Daß nun selig werden, Wer zu diesem brunnen eilet, Jung und alt; Wer nur bald Kommt und nicht verweilet; 6 Der kan nicht verloren geben. Sondern soll Gnadenvoll, Bald errettung sehen: Friedensströme sollen fliessen In die brust; Gotteslust Soll sich ihm ergiessen. 7 Kanst du nur die sünde hassen, Alle sünd' Die sich find't Und sein blut auffassen: Konst du ihm nur vest betrauen, So sollst du Sanfte ruh Tief im herzen schauen. 8 Reiner ist umsonst gekommen, Nein, er nahm, Den der kam Von den böß und frommen Willig und mit vielen freuden Auf und an; Brach den bann Aller ihre leiden. 9 Drum soll'st du auch nicht verzagen, Armes herz, In dem schmerz Und in deinen plagen: Währt den abendlang das weinen, So wird dir Seine zier Bald am morgen scheine. 10 Deine sünden sind vergeben, Da er starb Und erwarb sündern heil und leben: Du sollst selber nichts erwerben, Wenn du nur Der natur Sogleich willst absterben. 11 Du machst ihm die gröste freude, Wenn du eilst, Nicht verweilst; Er ist hirt und weide: komm nur du betrübte seele; Säume nicht, Komm ans Licht Aus der kummerhöle. 11 Du

Amid the Thronging Worshipers

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Lament General; Lament Individual Lyrics: 1 Amid the thronging worshipers the Lord, our God, I bless; before his people gathered here his name will I confess. Come, praise him, all who fear the Lord, the children of his grace; with reverence sound his glories forth and bow before his face. 2 The burden of the sorrowful the Lord will not despise; he has not turned from those who mourn, he listens to their cries. His goodness makes me join the throng where saints his praise proclaim, and there will I fulfill my vows with those who fear his name. 3 He feeds with good the humble soul and satisfies the meek, and they shall live and praise the Lord who for his mercy seek. The ends of all the earth will hear, the nations seek the Lord; they worship him, the King of kings, in earth and heaven adored. Used With Tune: BOVINA Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
