Praise And Honor To The Father
Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Praise and honor to the Father
For the fullness of His grace,
Who in Jesus, our Redeemer,
Has revealed His loving face:
Thine this house to bless, O Lord,
With Thine everlasting Word!
2 Praise and honor to the Savior
For the fullness of His love,
Given us in richest measure
When He left His throne above:
Thine this house, O heavn'ly Friend,
Guard and keep it to the end!
3 Praise and honor to the Spirit
For the fullness of His pow'r,
Who renews with wondrous beauty
Heart and mind each day and hour:
Thine this house, O heav'nly Light;
Keep it free from error's night!
4 Praise and honor, strength and glory
Be to God the Father, Son,
And to God the Holy Spirit,
Ever three and ever one:
Thine this house, O Triune Lord,
Now and evermore adored!
Amen. Topics: Dedication Institution of Learning Used With Tune: NEANDER
Praise And Honor To The Father
Lord, who left the highest heaven
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven
for a homeless human birth
and, a child within a stable,
came to share the life of earth —
with your grace and mercy bless
all who suffer homelessness.
2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness
refuge under foreign skies
from the swords of Herod's soldiers,
ravaged homes and parents' cries —
may your grace and mercy rest
on the homeless and oppressed.
3 Lord, who lived secure and settled,
safe within the Father's plan,
and in wisdom, stature, favour
growing up from boy to man —
with your grace and mercy bless
all who strive for holiness.
4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred,
followed still as duty led,
sky the roof and earth the pillow
for the Prince of glory's head —
with your grace and mercy bless
sacrifice for righteousness.
5 Lord, who in your cross and passion
hung beneath a darkened sky,
yet whose thoughts were for your mother,
and a thief condemned to die —
may your grace and mercy rest
on the helpless and distressed.
6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant
with our whole salvation won,
risen, glorified, ascended,
all the Father's purpose done —
may your grace, all conflict past,
bring your children home at last. Topics: Christmas 2 The Holy Family; God, Saviour Growing, Teaching, Serving; Pentecost 14 The Family Used With Tune: OTTAWA

Thut Mir Auf Die Schöne Pforte
Author: Benjamin Schmolck Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thut mir auf die schöne Pforte
Führt in Gottes Haus mich ein!
Ach, wie wird an diesem Orte
Meine Seele fröhlich sein!
Hir ist Gottes Angesicht,
Hier ist lauter Trost und Licht.
2 Herr, ich bein zu dir gekommen
Komme du nun auch zu mir!
Wo du Wohnung hast genommen,
Da ist lauter Himmel hier.
Zeuch in meinem Herzen ein,
Laß es deinen Tempel sein!
3 Laß in Furcht mich vor dich treten,
Heilige mir Leib und Geist,
Daß mein Singen und mein Beten
Dir ein lieblich Opfer heißt.
Heilige mir Mund un Ohr,
Zeuch das Herz zu dir empor!
4 Mache mich zum guten Lande,
Wenn dein Saatkorn in mich fällt,
Gieb mir Licht in dem Bestande;
Und was mir wird vorgestellt;
Präge meinem Herzen ein,
Laß es mir zur Frucht gedeihn.
5 Stärk in mir den schwachen Glauben,
Laß dein theures Kleinod mir
Nimmer aus dem Herzen rauben,
Halte mir dein Wor stets für;
Ja, das sei mein Morgenstern,
Der mich führet zu dem Herrn!
6 Rede, Herr, so will ich hören,
Und dein Wille werd erfüllt!
Laß nichts meine Andacht stören,
Wenn der Brunn’ des Lebens quillt.
Speise mich mit Himmelsbrot,
Tröste mich in aller Not!
7 Öffne mir die Lebensauen,
Daß dein Lamm sich weiden kann;
Laß mir Himmelsmanna thauen,
Zeige mir die rechte Bahn
Hier aus diesem Jammerthal
Zu des Himmels Freudensaal. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER

Men Who Walk in Folly's Way
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Men who walk in folly’s way,
And to evil turn aside,
Find that sorrow will repay
Those who wisdom’s laws have defied;
Down to death’s dark portals led,
They abhor their daily bread.
2. To Jehovah then they cry
In their trouble and He saves,
Sends compassionate reply
Gives the health their spirit craves,
Rescues them with gracious aid
From the snares their folly led.
3. Sons of men, awake to praise
God the Lord who reigns above,
Gracious in His works and ways,
Wondrous in redeeming love;
Let them all thank-offerings bring,
Celebrate His deeds, and sing. Used With Tune: LUX PRIMA (Gounod) Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 294

He Who Once in Righteous Vengeance
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1. He who once in righteous vengeance
Whelmed the world beneath the flood,
Once again in mercy cleansed it
With His own most precious blood,
Coming from His throne on high
On the painful cross to die.
2. O the wisdom of th’Eternal!
O the depth of love divine!
O the sweetness of that mercy
Which in Jesus Christ did shine!
We were sinners doomed to die;
Jesus paid the penalty.
3. When before the Judge we tremble,
Conscious of His broken laws,
May the blood of His atonement
Cry aloud, and plead our cause,
Bid our guilty terrors cease,
Be our pardon and our peace.
4. Prince and Author of salvation,
Lord of Majesty supreme,
Jesu, praise to Thee be given
By the world Thou didst redeem;
Glory to the Father be
And the Spirit One with Thee. Used With Tune: IRA JUSTA Text Sources: Roman Breviary, 1827; Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849

Once In Royal David's City, When the King Was in Distress
Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit
Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit,
Thou forever art divine:
Let Thy power never fail me,
Always fill this heart of mine;
Thus shall grace, and truth, and light,
Dissipate the gloom of night.
2 Grant my mind and my affections
Wisdom, counsel, purity,
That I may be ever seeking
Naught but that which pleases Thee.
Let Thy knowledge spread and grow,
And all error overthrow.
3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me
By the true and living way;
Shield me from each strong temptation,
That might lead my heart astray;
And if e'er my feet should turn,
For each error let me mourn.
4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty,
Thou who makest all things new,
Make Thy work within me perfect,
Help me by Thy Word so true,
Arm me with that sword of Thine,
And the victory shall be mine.
5 In the faith, O make me steadfast;
Let not Satan, death, or shame,
Of my confidence deprive me;
Lord, my refuge is Thy name.
When the flesh inclines to ill,
Let Thy Word prove stronger still.
6 And when my last hour is nearing,
Oh, assure me ever more,
As the chosen heir of heaven,
Of that bliss for me in store,
Greater far than tongue can tell,
There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.
