O Christian Home

Author: Joshua F. Drake Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Christian home, you humble place Lyrics: 1. O Christian home, you humble place, Where God’s own kingdom grows, by grace, With Christ himself as head— In you live bold and steadfast men And wives who guard their hearts from sin As both by Christ are led. 2. In you a man may love his bride Enough to be her guard and guide, And rule with tender heart. And wives will gladly work in you To aid the good their husbands do— Delighted in their part. 3. For Christian homes have jobs for all. If one’s undone, the house may fall, Though be it help or head. And there a child will know his place: The seed of Abrah’m, marked for grace, And loved, as our Lord said: 4. For such do fill the Land of God, Where we’ll need no firm words, no rod To put us in our place. There husbands, wives, sons, daughters we Like children safe at home will be, For we are called by grace. Used With Tune: SCHULTZ

Lift Up Thy Head, O Chrsitendom!

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lift up thy head, O Christendom! Lyrics: 1 Lift up thy head, O Christendom! Behold in heaven thy blessed home For which thy heart is yearning. There is thy Joy and soul’s Delight Who soon with power and glory bright Will be for thee returning. 2 And when in ev'ry land and clime Thou shalt behold His signs sublime, The sinful world appalling, Then shalt with joy thou lift thine eyes And see Him coming in the skies, While suns and stars are falling. 3 Though for His day thy heart must yearn Do not forget why His return Thy Savior is delaying, And ask Him ne'er before His hour To shake the heavens with His power And judge the lost and straying. 4 O Christendom, for Sodom pray Till sighs and prayers no more can stay The judgment day impending. Then cries the Lord: “Behold, I come,”-- And thou shalt answer: “To Thy home I am with joy ascending.” 5 Then far and wide the trumpet calls, The dead awake, death’s kingdom falls, And God’s elect assemble. The Lord ascends His royal throne And greets His faithful as His own, While hearts in gladness tremble. Topics: Comfort and Hope Used With Tune: [Lift up thy head, O Chrsitendom]

The Lord Be Praised! I'm Homeward Bound

Author: J. Lassen Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, To where my Father's house is found, Beyond death's gloomy portal, Where God's own Son, my Savior blest, Receives me as His welcomed guest Among the saints immortal. 2 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where sin and death, the grave's sad mound, Forever are forgotten; Where living fountains ever flow, And trees their fruit each month shall grow For those of God begotten. 3 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where I shall join the host renowned Before His throne assembling, And there with all in love shall dwell In glory, which no tongue can tell, Relieved of fear and trembling. 4 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where all the saints with beauty crowned Sing to His praise and glory; Where I my problems understand, As they were solved by God's own hand, And tell the blessed story. 5 So, then, with hope we onward press Through sorrow, trouble, and distress, In confidence and wonder, Until by angels borne on high, With sweet relief and happy sigh, Our eyes we open yonder.

En el huerto, arrodillado

Author: Desconocido Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 En el huerto arrodillado Con su espíritu angustiado Ved al santo Redentor. Negra noche lo circunda, La tristeza su alma inunda De conflicto y de dolor. 2 Cerca duermen los amigos, Ni socorro ni testigos Hay en esta lucha cruel. A Jesús inmaculado Acongójale el pecado De su descarriada grey. 3 ¿No podrá pasar de largo Este cáliz tran amargo, Sin beberlo el Salvador? De la culpa es el tributo, Pues Jesús el substituto Quiere ser del pecador. 4 La salud nos asegura Esta copa de amargura Que bebe en Getsemaní. Haz, Señor, que to adoremos, Y tan sólo coloquemos Siempre la confianza en Ti. Amén. Topics: El Año Cristiano Jueves Santo; Christian Year Holy Thursday Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

Zion, to thy Savior singing

Author: Thomas Aquinas Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zion, to thy Savior singing, To thy prince and shepherd bringing Sweetest hymns of love and praise, Thou wilt never reach the measure Of His worth, by all the treasure Of thy most ecstatic lays. 2 Of all wonders that can thrill thee, And with adoration fill thee, What than this can greater be, That Himself to thee He giveth? He that eateth ever liveth, For the Bread of life is He. 3 Fill thy lips to overflowing With sweet praise, His mercy showing Who this heavenly table spread: On this day so glad and holy, To each longing spirit lowly Giveth He the living bread. 4 Here the King hath spread His table, Whereon eyes of faith are able Christ our Passover to trace: Shadows of the law are going, Light and life and truth inflowing, Night to day is giving place. 5 Lo, this blessed food descending Heavenly love is hither sending. Hungry lips on earth to feed: So the paschal lamb was given, So the manna came from heaven, Isaac was His type indeed. 6 O good Shepherd, bread life-giving, Us, Thy grace and life receiving, Feed and shelter evermore; Thou on earth our weakness guiding, We in heaven with Thee abiding With all saints will Thee adore.
