Dear Christians, Let Us All Rejoice

Author: H. Brueckner; Martin Luther Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #121 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification First Line: Dear Christians, let us all rejoice Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians,let us all rejoice And leave the haunts of sadness, That we, as with a single voice, My sound the note of gladness. Yea, let us sing with one accord And praise the wonders of our Lord, Who with a price hath bought us. 2 In Satan's chains I fettered lay, With naught but death before me. My sin distressed me night and day, In sin my mother bore me. While thus my sin and guilt were rife, There was no good in all my life; So fully sin enthralled me. 3 My works no merit e'er possessed, They had no pow'r to save me. My will with nothing good was blest, But prone to evil made me. My fears increased till sheer despair Left naught but death to be my share; The pangs of hell I suffered. 4 But God beheld my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of His mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation; A father's heart He turned to me, And, from my woes to make me free, Gave up His dearest Treasure. 5 He said to His beloved Son In accents soft and tender: 'Tis time the battle should be won; Thyself shalt Thou surrender. O brightest Jewel of My crown, Do Thou to wretched man go down, Both sin and death to conquer. 6 The Son obeyed the Father's voice, And, born of virgin mother, He of His own free will and choice Became my Friend and Brother. He hid His power from Satan well, That He the crafty foe might fell And bring hims low forever. 7 He said to me: Do not despair, My help I freely offer; Thy misery I came to share, Myself for thee I proffer. Thou shalt be Mine as I am thine, My love shall e'er thy soul entwine, The foe shall not divide us. 8 The foe will shed My precious blood Though ne'er his aim achieving; I but endure it for thy good, From death thy soul relieving. My life shall swallow death for aye, My innocence thy guilt shall pay; Thy faith in Me shall save thee. 9 To heaven I again ascend, There with the Father dwelling; To thee I strength and comfort lend, Thy sorrow thus dispelling. The Spirit I will send to thee, Who shall thy faithful Teacher be, That thou mayst truly know Me. 10 What I on earth have done and taught Shall be Thy guide in teaching; So shall My kingdom's works be wrought By thy pure life and preaching. Take heed lest men with base alloy The treasures of My truth destroy; This is My final warning. Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN

As By One's Sin Fell All Our Kin

Author: Emanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #135 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 As by one's sin fell all our kin, Conceived and born sin-stained, So by One's grace, who took the place Of all, are all regained, Of all, are all regained. 2 The blood-red tide from Christ's cleft side, Shed for the good of all, Is laver pure to cleanse and cure All lost in Adam's fall, All lost in Adam's fall. 3 Of it are born, though once forlorn, The saints in Him baptized; Its life receive all who believe That Jesus is the Christ, That Jesus is the Christ. 4 His righteousness is crown and dress Of those who own Him Lord, Who, sin-oppressed, find in Him rest And keep His faithful Word, And keep His faithful Word. 5 To God be praise through endless days, In whom we live and move, God--Father, Son and Spirit--One, The Triune God of Love! The Triune God of Love! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER

Through Jesus' bloody merit

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #221 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 THROUGH Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, may daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's nothing that can sever Me from the love of God; No want, no pain whatever, No famine, peril, blood. Though thousand foes surround me, And in their base design A sheep for slaughter count me, The victory still is mine. 3 Through Him that loved me dearly From all eternity, I can rejoice sincerely In all this misery; For this is my persuasion, I cling to this firm faith, Of which on no occasion Shall rob me hell, nor death: 4 That neither life's temptation, Nor death's most trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other power, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depth of deepest gloom; 5 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God Me, the poor sinner, sever; For in my Saviour's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer, And nevermore forsaketh Me, his dear child and heir.
