I Cried to God in My Distress

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #272 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I cried to God in my distress, And by the Lord my prayer was heard; O save me, Lord, from lying lips And from the false, deceitful word. 2 What woe for falsehood can atone, Or punish the deceitful tongue, The tongue whose speech consumes like fire, Whose words like deadly shafts are flung? 3 Alas for me, whose lot is cast With those who find their joy in strife! With those who hate the paths of peace I long have dwelt and spent my life. 4 In thought and act I am for peace, Peace I pursue and ever seek; But those about me are for strife, Though I in love and kindness speak.

Invited, Lord, by boundless grace

Author: Rev. Emmanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #274b (1908) Lyrics: 1 Invited, Lord, by boundless grace, I stood a guest before Thy face; As Host Thou spreadst no common food: Here is Thy body and Thy blood. 2 How holy is this sacrament Where pardon, peace, and life are spent! This bread and cup my lips have pressed; Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed. 3 Now lettest Thou Thy guest depart With full assurance in his heart; For such communion, Lord, with Thee May a new life my offering be. 4 When Thou shalt in Thy glory come To gather all Thy people home, Then let me, as Thy heav’nly guest, In anthems praise Thee with the blest!
