Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place
Author: Thomas H. Gill Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #287 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place
In ev'ry generation;
Thy people still have known thy grace,
And blessed thy consolation:
Through ev'ry age thou heard'st our cry
Through ev'ry age we found thee nigh,
Our Strength and our Salvation.
2 Our cleaving sins we oft have wept,
And oft thy patience proved;
But still thy faith we fast have kept,
Thy Name we still have loved;
And thou hast kept and loved us well,
Hast granted us in thee to dwell,
Unshaken, unremoved.
3 No, nothing from those arms of love
Shall thine own people sever;
Our Helper never will remove,
Our God will fail us never.
Thy people, Lord, have dwelt in thee,
Our dwelling place thou still wilt be
For ever and for ever.

Faith of the Larger Liberty
Author: Vincent B. Silliman, 1894-1979 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #287 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Faith of the larger liberty,
source of the light expanding,
law of the church that is to be,
old bondage notwithstanding:
faith of the free! By thee we live —
by all thou givest and shalt give
our loyalty commanding.
2 Heroes of faith in every age,
far-seeing, self-denying,
wrought an increasing heritage,
monarch and creed defying.
Faith of the free! In thy dear name
the costly heritage we claim:
their living and their dying.
3 Faith for the people everywhere,
whatever their oppression,
of all who make the world more fair,
living their faith’s confession:
faith of the free! Whate’er our plight,
thy law, thy liberty, thy light
shall be our blest possession. Topics: Humanist Teachings The Life of Integrity; Faith; Freedom; The Living Tradition; Prophets Languages: English Tune Title: MIT FREUDEN ZART

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Johann Jakob Schütz Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #288 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of pow'r, the God of love,
The God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul He fills,
And ev'ry 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 that could span,
And pow'r which formed creation's plan;
To God all praise and glory!
3 I cried to God in my distress,
His mercy heard me calling;
My Saviour saw my helplessness,
And kept my feet from falling;
For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee!
Praise God Most High, praise God with me!
To God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my gladsome way along,
I 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!

The Little While I Linger Here
Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #290 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here
Should grief and fear o'ertake me?
No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear,
He never will forsake me.
He gave His life to save the herd,
And with His Spirit and His Word,
Is present with us always.
2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice,
I go where'er He beckons.
His own He knows, they are His choice,
Their numbers, too, He reckons.
And He will seek the straying sheep,
The feeble in His bosom keep,
And gently raise the fallen.
3 He strengthens me with living bread,
With waters sweet and gracious,
Which flow from life's great fountain-head,
With peace and joy most precious.
Though rough and thorny is my way,
If from His path I do not stray,
I shall not be discouraged.
4 O Thou who saidst, "Away from me
No one shall snatch them ever."
Thee I implore, to Thee I fee,
Ah leave, forsake me, never!
The world allures; oh, guide me through,
That with the blesséd I may view
thy Father's glorious mansions.
5 How vain the worldling's pomp and show,
How brief His joys and pleasures!
The night approaches now, and lo!
We leave all earthly treasures.
And then what is all earthly bliss
to that blest promise, Where He is
We shall be with Him also! Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU CHRIST, DU HÖCHSTES GUT

He Who Has Helped Me Hitherto
Author: P. C. Paulsen; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #291 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 He who has helped me hitherto
Will be my help forever;
His grace to me each morn is new,
His mercy ceases never.
All things are spread before His eyes;
In love He hears His children's cries,
His care on them bestowing.
2 The stormy sea, the darkest wave,
The winter sorely pressing,
The deepest grief, the gloomy grave,
The memories distressing,
Are helpful means in God's employ,
Who turns our weeping into joy
And leads us by His counsel.
3 When resting in God's mighty hands,
Our hearts are filled with gladness,
Then broken are all earthly bands
That cause us grief and sadness,
And opened are the portals wide
To God's own house, where saints abide,
Where flows the fount eternal.
4 Tho' still our clay to earth belong,
On words of God, as pinions,
Our souls shall soar, forever young,
To heaven's fair dominions;
And, safe upon that lofty height,
From earth's distress and sorry plight,
Shall find sweet consolation.
5 What though the world our faith do scorn
And earthly treasure gather,
We know that we are heaven-born
And heirs of God, our Father;
We greet His summons with a smile:
Our clay shall in a little while
Receive the wings of eagles. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English Tune Title: WINDING

O Holy Spirit, Grant Us Grace
Author: Oluf H. Smeby; Bartholomäus Ringwaldt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #293 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: O Holy Spirit grant us grace Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, grant us grace
That we our Lord and Savior
In faith and fervent love embrace
And truly serve Him ever,
So that when death is drawing nigh,
We to His open wounds may fly
And find in them salvation.
2 Help us that we Thy saving Word
In faithful hearts may treasure;
Let e’er that Bread of Life afford
New grace in richest measure.
Yea, let us die to ev'ry sin,
For heav’n create us new within
That fruits of faith may flourish.
3 And when our earthly race is run,
Death’s bitter hour impending,
Then may Thy work in us begun
Continue until life’s ending.
Until we gladly may commend
Our souls into our Savior’s hand
To rest in peace eternal.

Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #297 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
By God's free grace and favor;
Good works cannot avert our doom,
They help and save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
Who did for all the world atone;
He is our mediator.
2 Theirs was a false, misleading dream
Who thought God's law was given
That sinners might themselves redeem
And by their works gain heaven.
The Law is but a mirror bright
To bring the inbred sin to light
That lurks within our nature.
3 And yet the Law fulfilled must be,
Or we were lost forever;
Therefore God sent his Son that he
Might us from death deliver.
He all the Law for us fulfilled,
And thus his Father's anger stilled
Which over us impended.
4 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone
And rests in him unceasing;
And by its fruits true faith is known,
With love and hope increasing.
For faith alone can justify;
Works serve our neighbor and supply
The proof that faith is living.
5 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God who saved us by his grace,
All glory to his merit.
O triune God in heav'n above,
You have revealed your saving love;
Your blessed name we hallow. Topics: Justification; Epiphany 8; Pentecost 18 (Year A); Justification Languages: English Tune Title: ES IS DAS HEIL
