Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home,
I, too, that home one day must share;
And in this hope I overcome
All doubt, all anguish, and despair;
For where the Head is, well we know,
The members He has left below
In time He surely gathers.
2 Since Christ has reached His glorious throne,
And mighty gifts henceforth are His,
My heart can rest in heaven alone,
On earth my Lord I always miss;
I long to be with Him on high,
And heart and thoughts forever fly
Where is my only Treasure.
3 From Thy ascension let such grace,
Dear Lord, be ever found in me,
That steadfast faith may guide my ways
With step unfalt'ring up to Thee,
And at Thy voice I may depart
With joy to dwell where Thou, Lord, art;
Lord, hear my supplication! Topics: Ascension
Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God has done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won,
What price our ransom cost Him!
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay;
Death brooded darkly o'er me.
Sin was my torment night and day;
In sin my mother bore me.
But daily deeper still I fell;
My life became a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My own good works all came to naught,
No grace or merit gaining;
Free will against God's judgment fought,
Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left only death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
4 But God had seen my wretched state
Before the world's foundation,
And mindful of His mercies great,
He planned for my salvation.
He turned to me a father's heart;
He did not choose the easy part
But gave His dearest treasure.
5 God said to His beloved Son:
"It's time to have compassion.
Then go, bright jewel of My crown,
And bring to all salvation.
From sin and sorrow set them free;
Slay bitter death for them that they
May live with You forever."
6 The Son obeyed His Father's will,
Was born of virgin mother;
And God's good pleasure to fulfill,
He came to be my brother.
His royal pow'r disguised He bore;
A servant's form, like mine, He wore
To lead the devil captive.
7 To me He said: "Stay close to Me,
I am your rock and castle.
Your ransom I Myself will be;
For you I strive and wrestle.
For I am yours, and you are Mine,
And where I am you may remain;
The foe shall not divide us.
8 "Though he will shed My precious blood,
Me of My life bereaving,
All this I suffer for your good;
Be steadfast and believing.
Life will from death the vict'ry win;
My innocence shall bear your sin,
And you are blest forever.
9 "Now to My Father I depart,
From earth to heav'n ascending,
And, heav'nly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending;
In trouble He will comfort you
And teach you always to be true
And into truth shall guide you.
10 "What I on earth have done and taught
Guide all your life and teaching;
So shall the kingdom's work be wrought
And honored in your preaching.
But watch lest foes with base alloy
The heav'nly treasure should destroy;
This final word I leave you."

O Lord, Look Down from Heaven
Out of the depths I cry to Thee
Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee,
Lord, God, O hear my wailing!
Thy gracious ear incline to me,
And make my prayer availing.
On my misdeeds in mercy look,
O deign to blot them from Thy book,
Or who can stand before Thee?
2 Thy sovereign grace and boundless love,
Make Thee, O Lord, forgiving;
My purest thoughts and deeds but prove
Sin in my heart is living:
None guiltless in Thy sight appear;
All who approach Thy throne must fear,
And humbly trust Thy mercy.
3 Thou canst be merciful while just,--
This is my hope's foundation;
On Thy redeeming grace I trust,
Grant me, then, thy salvation.
Shielded by Thee, I stand secure;
Thy word is firm, thy promise sure,
And I rely upon Thee.
4 Like those who watch the midnight's hour
To hail the dawning morrow,
I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power,
Unmoved by doubt or sorrow.
So let Thy Israel hope in Thee,
And he shall find Thy mercy free,
And Thy redemption plenteous.
5 Where'er the greatest sins abound,
By grace they are exceeded;
Thy helping hand is always found
With aid where aid is needed;
Thy hand, the only hand to save,
Will rescue Israel from the grave,
And pardon his transgression. Topics: The Church Year Second Sunday in Lent; The Church Year Second Sunday in Lent; Confession of Sin; Repentance Used With Tune: [Out of the depths I cry to Thee]

Kom, huldaste förbarmare
Author: A. C. Rutström Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Kom, huldaste förbarmare,
Som herde i bland fåren,
Och led oss, arma syndare,
Till källorna och såren,
till Sions berg och Sarons bet,
Där i en salig enighet
Hvar trogen själ har trefnad!
2 O kärlekshaf, utgjut din flod
Utöfver allas hjärtan,
Låt kraften af ditt helga blod
Fördrifva otrossmärtan!

Förvandla med din ljufva sol
Vår köld i evig värma! Topics: Ordet och Gudstjänsten; The Word and the Worship Used With Tune: KOM, HULDASTE FÖRBARMARE
