Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a399 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my All shalt be. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 2 Haste my soul from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer, Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English

Rise, O my soul, pursue the path

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a400 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path By ancient worthies trod; Aspiring, view those holy men Who lived and walked with God. 2 Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear, And in example live; Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds, Still fresh instruction give. 3. ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood They conquered every foe; To His power and matchless grace Their crowns of life they owe. 4 Lord, may I ever keep in view The patterns Thou hast giv'n, And ne’er forsake the blessèd road That led them safe to Heaven.

Flung to the heedless winds

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a401 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Flung to the heedless winds, Or on the waters cast, The martyrs' ashes will Be gathered at the last: And from that scattered dust, Around us and abroad, Shall spring a plenteous seed Of witnesses for God. 2 Jesus has now received Their latest living breath; Yet vain is Satan's boast Of vict'ry in their death: Still, still, though dead, they speak, And, trumpet-tongued, proclaim To many a wak'ning land The one availing Name.

Who knew no sin and no deceiving

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a402 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Who knew no sin and no deceiving, Has borne my sin and my distress; And I by grace in Him believing, Now deck me with His righteousness. As He is sinner to my good, So I am holy through His blood. 2 Nay not in me, self-righteous were it, On God's grace rests my holiness; He looks on Christ's atoning merit, And counts this as my righteousness: This I believe, and hence my claim, That I am holy in His name. 3 In Christ, by faith then, I am holy, In self though 'tis not yet the case; But I will likewise now so wholly Seek e'er in life to walk by grace, That soul and body may remain All blameless till Christ come again. 4 I will devote my every member To serve in righteousness God's will, Then when I falter, e'er remember That I may trust God's mercy still; And pray that God would guide through strife, That I may lead a holy life. 5 Thus will I walk, O God, before Thee, That my light too may shine alway, And that I by my life adore Thee, Till I at length on that great day In life and self shall holy be, And wholly perfect, Lord, with Thee.

Lord, it belongs not to our care

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a403 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to our care Whether we die or live; To love and serve Thee be our share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 Christ leads us through no darker rooms Than He went through before; Whoever to God's kingdom comes, Must enter by this door. 3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 4 There shall we end our sad complaints, And weary sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints That sing Jehovah's praise. 5 Our knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And we shall be with him.

Blest be Thy love, dear Lord

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a404 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Blest be Thy love, dear Lord, That taught us this sweet way, Only to love Thee for Thyself, And for that love obey. 2 O Thou, our soul's chief Hope! We to Thy mercy fly; What'er we are, Thou canst protect, What'er we need, supply. 3 Whether we sleep or wake, To Thee we both resign; The darkest night is as the day, If Thy light on us shine. 4 Whether we live or die, Both we submit to Thee; In death we live as well as life, If Thine in faith we be.

My God, I love Thee, not because

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a405 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because I hope for heav'n thereby; Nor yet because who love Thee not Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, Yea, death itself; and all for one That was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord! 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

Heavenward doth our journey tend

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a407 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Heavenward doth our journey tend, Here on earth we are but strangers, Towards our promised Land we wend, Through a wilderness of dangers; Here we roam a pilgrim-band, Yonder is our native land. 2 Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings, Thou canst claim a heavenly nature; Cleave not to these earthly things, Thou canst rest not in the creature. Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends. Languages: English

What God does, ever well is done!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a408 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 What God does, ever well is done! His will is just and holy; As He directs my sands to run, My spirit shall keep lowly. He is my God; Though sore the rod, His care doth e'er enfold me: Then may He guide and hold me. 2 What God does, ever well is done! In need He will not quit me. In rightful path He still leads me on; To Him then I submit me. I'll walk His ways, And trust His grace To lift what doth oppress me: It rests with Him to bless me. 3 What God does, ever well is done! He thinks but to befriend me; As Healer mine, and Wondrous One, He will not poison send me Instead of cure. God's heart is pure. Of doubt will I divest me, And on His goodness rest me. 4 What God does, ever well is done! And though the cup selected, Seem to my mind too bitter drawn, Yet will I not reject it. God loveth me! I yet shall see Sweet comfort for my grieving; So I keep on believing. 5 What God does, ever well is done! Of this shall none deprive me; And though on pathway rough and lone, Need, death, and mis'ry drive me, God's arms will bear Me with fond care, Till all my sorrow ceaseth; Then do He, as He pleaseth.
