Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a447 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled Now Thy little lamb’s last weeping; Ah! how peaceful, pale and mild In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping! And no sigh of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2 In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny heavenly plain Dost Thou now in joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light.

Mourn not ye, whose child hath found

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a448 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Mourn not ye whose child hath found Purer skies and holier ground; Flowers of bright and pleasant hue, Free from thorns and fresh with dew. 2 Mourn not ye whose child hath fled From this region of the dead, To yon winged angel-band, To a better, fairer land. 3 Knowledge in that clime doth grow Free from weeds of toil and wo, Joys which mortals may not share; Mourn ye not, your child is there.

And will the Judge descend?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a458 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend? And must the dead arise? And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes! 2 And from His righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound; And, through the num'rous guilty throng, Spread black despair around? 3 "Depart from me, accursed, "To everlasting flame, For rebel-angels first prepared, Where mercy never came." 4 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heav'n, before His face, Astonished, shrink away? 5 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound, What joyful tidings spread! 6 Ye sinners, seek His grace Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross, And find salvation there.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a459 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shriv'ling like a parched scroll, The flaming heav'ns together roll, When louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead? 3 O on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a460 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, that Day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking; All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, kind Jesus, my salvation Caused Thy wondrous incarnation; Fount of pity, then befriend us! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering brought me; Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 11 Righteous Judge of retribution, Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day's dread execution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning! Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the woman gav'st remission, Heardst the dying thief's petition: Hopeless else were my condition. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep, O place me! Nor amid the goats abase me: But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strewn with ashes of contrition; Succor Thou my lost condition! 18 Day of sorrow, Day of weeping, When in dust no longer sleeping, Man awakes in Thy dread keeping! 19 To the rest Thou didst prepare me, On Thy Cross, O Christ, upbear me! Spare, O God, in mercy spare me! Languages: English

Eternity! terrific word!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a461 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Eternity! terrific word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity, unmeasured time! I sink beneath the though sublime, That I to thee am tending: Deep horrors fill my quaking heart, My lips in speech refuse to part. 2 Eternity! O what a pang! Eternity! no serpent's fang Could send that thrill of terror; When I revolve thy clanking chains, Thy dark abyss of deathless pains, My soul is filled with horror. O search the universe around, No equal terror can be found. 3 Awake, O man, from sinful sleep; Henceforth thy feet from wand'ring keep; Seek God by true repentance! Awake, behold thy wasting sand, Eternity is just at hand, And brings thine awful sentence. This perchance thy final day; This hour thy soul may haste away. 4 Eternity! terrific word Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity! unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending: Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee, Grant me Thy blest eternity! Languages: English

"Wake, arise!" the voice is calling

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a462 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 "Wake, arise!" the voice is calling; The watchman's voice on quick ear falling, "Jerusalem, awake, arise! For the midnight hour is fleeting;" So with clear voice, they stand repeating: "O where are ye, ye virgins wise; The bridegroom is at hand, Take up your lamps and stand! Hallelujah! Each wedding guest Fit for the feast, Arise, go forth to meet your Lord." 2 Zion hears the watchman's singing, And now with joyous heart upspringing, She stands and on the call attends. Her Friend comes from heaven glorious, Strong in His grace, in truth victorious; Her light shines bright, her star ascends. "Now come, thou Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son." Hallelujah! We enter all The banquet hall, And feast there with our heavenly King. 3 "Glory unto Thee be given, By men and by the host of heaven, With harps and with the cymbals' tone. Twelve pearls are Thy city's portals, Wherein we dwell with the immortals, With angels high around Thy throne. No eye hath seen such sight, No ear heard such delight, Hallelujah! Thine hour is this, O Heavenly Bliss, Thine now, and shall be evermore!" Languages: English

When the Lord recalls the banished

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a463 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When the Lord recalls the banished, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanished, Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. 2 Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Let the end of exile come, And Thy scattered servants gather ln their longed for, promised home. Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day, Faithful warriors hast Thou found us? Let Thy peace for aye surround us. 3 In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers; There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens,--there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full Reward alone. They who lived, who died unto Him, Sheaves of gladness bring there through Him. Languages: English

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a464 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 O the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the Sun, forever reigns, And scatters night away. 4 No chilling winds, no poisonous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 5 When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? Languages: English

My Father's house on high

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a465 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near, At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, Thy golden gates appear! 2 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 3 Yet clouds will intervene, And all my prospect flies; Like Noah's dove, I flit between Rough seas and stormy skies. 4 Anon the clouds depart, The winds and waters cease, While sweetly o'er my gladdened heart Expands the bow of peace.
