From Depths of Woe

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-1887 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: From depths of woe I raise to Thee Lyrics: 1 From the depths of woe I raise to Thee The voice of lamentation; LORD, turn a gracious ear to me, And hear my supplication. If Thou should be extreme to mark each secret sin and misdeed dark, O who could stand before Thee? O who could stand before Thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, grace, grace alone availeth; Our works, alas! are all in vain; in much the best life faileth. No man can glory in Thy sight, all must alike confess Thy might, And live alone by mercy. And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the LORD, and not in mine own merit; On Him my soul shall rest, His Word upholds my fainting spirit. His promised mercy is my fort, my comfort and my sweet support; I wait for it with patience. I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the live-long night, and til the dawn appeareth. My heart still trusteth in His might; it doubteth not, nor feareth; So let the Israelite in heart, born of the Spirit, do his part, And wait til God appeareth. And wait til God appeareth. 5 Although our sin is great indeed, God's mercies far exceed it; His hand can give the help we need, however much we need it. He is the Shepherd of the sheep who Israel doth guard and keep, And shall from sin redeem him. And shall from sin redeem him. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: DEPTHS OF WOE

Death in all this world prevaileth

Author: J. G. Albinus Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Death in all this world prevaileth: Human life, a summer flower; Blooms at morn,at even faileth, But there comes a brighter hour. When o'er death shall rise victorious, And appear in forms more glorious, To a better life restored, Who have loved and served their Lord. 2 Jesus yielded up His spirit, And His ransomed people gain Life eternal by His merit; Death has armed his sting in vain. For the unfettered soul ascendeth To the world which never endeth, There without a veil to see God's true face eternally. 3 There is life that knows no sadness, There, a numberless array, White-robed denizens of gladness, Unto God their homage pay: Choir aloud to choir rejoices, Seraphs with delighted voices Holy, holy, holy, sing To their Triune God and King. 4 There the patriarchs abiding, There the prophets all have rest, There the noble twelve residing In their Master's love are blest; There the saints in holy splendor To the Lamb their praises render, Harping sweet in solemn strains "Hallelujah! Jesus reigns."

Author: Joh. Rosenmüller; Catherine Winkworth; H. Brueckner Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, a voice saith, all are mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only through a death-rent portal To a better world ye pass; Dust to dust must sink inglorious Ere this body rise victorious To the realms of life and light, Won for saints thro' Jesus' might. 2 Therefore, when my Father chooses, Willingly my life I'll yield; He but gains, nay, never loses, Who with Jesus quits the field; For in my Redeemer's merit Peace has found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus' death assures me bliss. 3 In those bright celestial regions All is life and peace and joy; Souls are there in countless legions, Happy in the Lord's employ. There the Seraphim are dwelling Who, in holiness excelling, Praise with heaven's mighty host Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 4 There the patriarchs are living, There the prophets all abide, There th'apostles, homage giving, Ever dwell at Jesus' side. There the Lord's whole congregation Has its place of habitation; There, to honor God, their King, All their hallelujahs sing. 5 O blest city of the sainted, Wondrous fair Jerusalem, How thy beauty, pure, unattained, Sparkles like a precious gem! What sweet voices there are sounding, And what joys are there abounding! Night shall never follow day, Light from God will shine for aye.

Peace, that passeth understanding

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: Peace, that passeth understanding, Peace to calm the bosom's strife, Peace the winds and waves commanding, On this stormy sea of life; Peace the wounded spirit healing, Peace the love of Christ revealing; Peace, O God! Thy peace impart; Thou of peace the author art. 248 Peace to keep our minds for ever In Thy faith, Thy fear, Thy way; Peace to keep our hearts, that never Thought, desire, nor feeling stray! Peace to soothe in every trial, Peace to soften self-denial, Peace our daily cross to take, Grant us, for our Saviour's sake. War with all the powers of evil, We may every moment wage, Yet of world, and flesh, and devil, Scorn the friendship, falsehood, rage; Though by foes and perils haunted, We shall pass unharm'd, undaunted, Thy whole armour, while we wear, Sword, shield, breast-plate, helm,--all prayer.
