Great God, what do I see and hear
Hymnal: A Church of England Hymn Book #273 (1880) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Languages: English
Great God, what do I see and hear
The Lord Of Glory! Who Is He?
Author: Robert C. Chapman (1803-1902) Hymnal: The Believers Hymn Book #276 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN
The Lord Of Glory! Who Is He?
The mouth of fools doth God confess
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #277 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The mouth of fools doth God confess,
But while their lips draw nigh Him,
Their heart is full of wickedness,
And all their deeds deny Him.
Corrupt are they, and every one
Abominable deeds hath done;
There is not one well-doer.
2 The Lord looked from His heavenly throne
On all mankind below Him,
To see if there were any one
Who truly sought to know Him,
And all his understanding bent
To search His holy Word, intent
To do His will in earnest.
3 But none there was who walked with God,
For all aside had slidden,
Delusive paths of folly trod,
And followed lusts forbidden;
Not one there was who practiced good,
Though many deemed, in haughty mood,
Their deeds to God were pleasing.
4 How long, by folly blindly led,
Will they oppress the needy,
And eat my people up like bread?
So fierce are they and greedy!
In God they put no trust at all,
Nor will on Him in trouble call,
But be their own providers.
5 Therefore their heart is never still,
A constant fear dismays them,
God is with him who doth His will,
Who trusts Him and obeys Him;
Ye shame the counsel of the poor,
And mock him when he doth assure
That God is e'er his refuge.
6 Who shall to Israel’s outcast race
From Zion bring salvation?
God will Himself at length show grace
And loose the captive nation;
That will He do by Christ their King;
Let Jacob then be glad and sing,
And Israel be joyful. Topics: Reformation Languages: English
The mouth of fools doth God confess
O God, from heaven look down and see
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #278 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O God, from heaven look down and see
A sight which well may move Thee:
Of godly men how few there be,
Forsaken we who love Thee!
Withheld is Thy pure Word, the light
Of faith itself extinguished quite
In all the sons of Adam.
2 Fictions they teach with cunning art,
And lies of man's invention;
Not grounded on God's Word, their heart
Breeds naught but strange dissension;
One chooses this, another that,
Untold division they create
Though saint-like in appearance.
3 May God root out all heresy,
And of false teachers rid us,
Who proudly say: "Now where is he
That shall our speech forbid us!
We have the right and might alone,
And what we say must stand, we own
None as our lord and master."
4 Therefore saith God, "I must arise,
The poor suffer wrong-doing;
To me ascend my people's sighs,
And I have heard their suing:
My saving Word shall take the field,
Shall be the poor man's strength and shield,
Shall conquer all opposers."
5 As silver seven times furnace-tried;
Is pure from all its drosses,
So doth the Word of God abide
The brighter for its crosses;
For trial shows its worth aright,
And manifests its strength, and light,
That through all lands it shineth.
6 O God, preserve it pure and free
From this vile generation,
And let us be preserved by Thee
From their abomination;
The wicked walk on every side,
When 'mid Thy flock the vile abide
In power and are exalted. Topics: Reformation Languages: English
O God, from heaven look down and see
Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith E. M. Reed Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #279 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, Infant lowly,
For His bed– a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all!
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all!
2 Flocks were sleeping; shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story–
Tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
Praises voicing greet the morrow:
Christ, the Babe, was born for you!
Christ, the Babe, was born for you!

Had God not come, may Israel say
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #282 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 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;
For we are but a handful small
Held in contempt and scorn by all,
All men rise up against 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 Blest be the Lord, who from the pit
Snatched us, when it was gaping;
Our souls, like birds that break the net,
To the blue skies escaping;
The snare is broken--we are free!
Our help is ever, Lord, in Thee,
The God of earth and heaven. Topics: Reformation Languages: English
Had God not come, may Israel say
All Glory Be to God on High
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Nikolaus Decius Hymnal: The Worshipbook #283 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All glory be to God on high,
Who has our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The strife at last is ended;
God his good will displays to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again;
O thank him for his goodness.
2 We praise, we worship you, we trust,
And give you thanks forever,
O Father, that your rule is just,
And wise, and changes never;
Your boundless power o'er all things reigns,
You do whate'er your will ordains;
'Tis well you are our ruler!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Begotten of the Father,
O Savior, who our peace restored,
And who lost sheep did gather,
O Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need and hear our cry;
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious gift,
O Comforter unfailing,
Do you our troubled souls uplift,
Against the foe prevailing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
Do you in faith sustain us!
Amen.

All Glory Be to God on High
If God were not upon our side
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #284 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 If God were not upon our side
When round us foes are raging,
Were not Himself our help and guide
When bitter war they're waging,
Were He not Israel's mighty shield,
To whom their utmost craft must yield,
We surely must have perished.
2 But now no human wit or might
His chosen people frighteth,
God sitteth in the highest height,
And He their counsels blighteth;
When craftiest snares and nets they lay,
god goes to work another way,
And makes a path before us.
3 Against our souls they rage and mock,
Exciting great commotion:
As billows meet with angry shock
Out on the stormy ocean,
So they our lives with fury seek;
But God hath pity on the weak,
And Him they have forgotten.
4 They call us heretics, and aye
Their Christian name are flaunting;
They seek to spill our blood, while they
Their fear of God are vaunting.
Ah, God! that precious name of Thine
O'er many a wicked deed must shine,
But Thou wilt once avenge it.
5 They open wide their ravenous jaws,
And threaten to devour us,
But thanks to God, who rules our cause,
They shall not overpower us;
Their snares He yet will bring to naught,
And overthrow what they have taught;
God is too mighty for them.
6 How richly He consoleth those
Whom no one else befriendeth!
The door of grace doth never close;
Sense cannot comprehend it,
How this may be, and deems all lost,
When through this very cross a host
Of champions God is raising.
7 Our foes, O God, are in Thy hand,
Thou knowest their endeavor;
But only give us strength to stand,
And let us waver never,
Though reason strives with faith, and still
It fears to wholly trust Thy will,
And sees not Thy salvation.
8 But heaven and earth, O Lord, are Thine,
For Thou alone hast made them;
Thy light let on Thy people shine,
And in their sorrows aid them;
Kindle our hearts to love and faith
That shall be steadfast e'en to death,
Howe'er the world may murmur! Topics: Reformation Languages: English
If God were not upon our side
All praise to God Who reigns above
Author: Johann Jacob Schütz; Frances Elizabeth Cox Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #285 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All praise to God Who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation;
With healing balm my soul He fills,
And every faithless murmur stills.
To God all praise and glory!
2 The angel host, O King of kings,
Thy praise for ever telling,
In earth and sky all living things,
Beneath Thy shadow dwelling,
Adore the wisdom which could span,
And power which formed creation's plan.
To God all praise and glory!
3 What God's almighty power hath made
His gracious mercy keepeth;
By morning dawn or evening shade
His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
Within the kingdom of His might,
Lo! all is just and all is right.
To God all praise and glory!
4 The Lord is never far away,
But, through all grief distressing,
And ever-present help and stay,
Our peace, and joy, and blessing;
As with a mother's tender hand
He leads His own, His chosen band.
To God all praise and glory!
5 Thus, all my gladsome way along,
I'll sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises;
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part!
To God all praise and glory!
Amen.

Abide With me, My Savior Blest
Author: J. C. Aaberg; H. A. Timm Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #286 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
The shades of night will hide me,
If to Thy home of peace and rest
Thy Spirit doth not guide me.
Abide with me, Thou Light of life,
Drive from my soul all sin and strife,
All fear of death forever.
2 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
That like a palm I flourish;
Thou art the Vine, and I, at best,
The branch Thy strength doth nourish.
O Vine from Eden's balmy shore,
My peace and strength Thou dost restore;
I cannot live without Thee.
3 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
Thro' all my earthly danger.
My weary soul can find no rest,
I am on earth a stranger.
O save Thou me from Satan's pow'r,
Be with me till my latest hour
And like a Shepherd lead me.
4 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
When night grows dark and somber;
I know if Thou wilt be my Guest
That I in peace shall slumber.
Be with me in the hour of death,
And tell me at my passing breath:
To heaven I will lead thee. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English Tune Title: WINDING
