O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. 3 Thy best gifts from on high In rich abundance pour, That we may magnify And praise Thee more and more. O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. 4 The powers ordained by Thee, With heavenly wisdom bless; May they Thy servants be, And rule in righteousness. O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. 5 The Church of Thy dear Son Inflame with love's pure fire, Bind her once more in one, And life and truth inspire. O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. 6 Give peace, Lord, in our time; O let no foe draw nigh, Nor lawless deed of crime Insult Thy Majesty. O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. Tune Title: [To Thee our God we fly]

Wilt Thou friendless leave me, And of hope bereave me? 4 Hence, ye foes! He comes in grace, God hath deigned to hear me; I may come before His face, He is inly near me; He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished In whose bonds I languished. 5 Father, hymns to Thee we raise, Here and once in heaven! And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven! Evermore We adore Thee whose grace hath stirred us, And whose pity heard us. Tune Title: [Not in anger, mighty God]

Alas, my God! my sins are great

Author: J. Gross Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #523 (1913) Topics: Various Occassions Day of Common Prayer Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence, in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, Thy hand still hold and guide me. 3 Nay, Thee I seek;--I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher; Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy teachings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as seems Thee best, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Savior share it. Tune Title: [Alas, my God! my sins are great]

Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #526 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Various Occassions Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice, And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the victory won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o’er me, Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me; Deeper and deeper still I fell, Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works so imperfect were, They had no power to aid me; My will God's judgments could not bear, Yea, prone to evil made me; Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die; To hell I fast was sinking. 4 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul’s salvation. He turned to me a Father's heart; Not small the cost! to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 5 He spoke to His beloved Son: ’Tis time to have compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of my crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever. 6 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upon the earth to me, That He might be my brother; His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the Devil captive. 7 He sweetly said, Hold fast by me, I am thy rock and castle; Thy ransom I myself will be, For thee I strive and wrestle; For I am with thee, I am thine, And evermore thou shalt be mine, The foe shall not divide us. 8 The Foe shall shed My precious blood, Me of my life bereaving; All this I suffer for thy good, Be steadfast and believing: Life shall from death the victory win, My innocence shall bear thy sin, So art thou blest forever. 9 Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heaven ascending, Thence heavenly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending: He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me, And to the truth conduct thee. 10 What I have done and taught, teach thou, My ways forsake thou never; So shall my kingdom flourish now, And God be praised forever: Take heed lest men with base alloy The heavenly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee. Tune Title: [Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice]

Had God not come, may Israel say

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #527 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Various Occassions Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Had God not come, may Israel say, Had God not come to aid us, Our enemies on that sad day Would surely have dismayed us; A remnant now, and handful small, Held in contempt and scorn by all, Who cruelly would oppress us. 2 Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would quickly have consumed us, And in the deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us; Like men o'er whom dark waters roll, The streams had gone e'en o'er our soul, And mightily o'erwhelmed us. 3 Thanks be to God, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping: Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue sky escaping; The snare is broken--we are free! The Lord our Helper praiséd be, The God of earth and heaven. Tune Title: [Had God not come, may Israel say]
