With trembling awe the chosen three

Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three The holy mount ascended, Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy, They saw the vision splendid-- Their Lord arrayed in living light, And on His left hand and His right, By glorious saints attended. 2 O vision bright, too bright to tell, The joys of heaven unveiling! How precious on those hearts it fell, When earthly hopes were failing; When, saints no more on either side, Between the thieves the Savior died 'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing! 3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief Of future triumph telling, Gilding with hope our night of grief, Our clouds of fear dispelling. If the dim foretaste was so bright, O what shall be the dazzling light Of Thine eternal dwelling!

Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be, And see Thee, Lord, descending, To bring us bliss unending. 2 We wait for Thee, ’mid toil and pain, In weariness and sighing; But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne, And cancelled it by dying. Hence, cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we relief inherit. 3 We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. 4 We wait for Thee: sure Thou wilt come, The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also now rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With transport and with singing!

From Depths of Woe I Cry to You

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78; Gracia Grindal, b. 1943 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I cry to you; Lord, hear me, I implore you. Bend down your gracious ear to me; My prayer let come before you. If you kept record of my sin And held against me what I've been, How could I stand before you? 2 Your love and grace alone avail To blot out my transgression. The best and holiest deeds must fail To break sin's dread oppression. Before you none can boasting stand, But all must fear your strict demand And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the Lord And not in my own merit; It rests upon his faithful Word To them of contrite spirit. That he is merciful and just-- This is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 [Text copyrighted] Topics: Confession and Absolution; Confession and Absolution Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOT

For help, O whither shall I flee?

Author: J. Neander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For help, O whither shall I flee? Who now to peace will guide me? To none, dear Savior, but to Thee, Can I with hope confide me. 'Tis Thine to give the weary rest, The mourning soul in Thee is blest,-- Help, Jesus, the afflicted! 2 My sin, O Lord, is now my grief, Against my will it rages: Thy grace alone an bring relief, While sin its warfare wages, All that I need is known to Thee, And now a part myself can see,-- Help, Jesus, the sin-burdened! 3 Good Shepherd, bearest Thou the weak? Sustain me in my weakness! Thou great Physician of the sick, Heal Thou my moral sickness! A prey to death I helpless fall,-- For health and strength to Thee I call, Save, Jesus, or I perish! 4 To those who trust Thee--"Nothing fear? I am the life!"--Thou criest; Seeks not my soul, with strong desire, The life which Thou suppliest? Though all my sorrows Thou canst lead, In death provide for every need-- Help, Jesus, the confiding. 5 I would do good, but still I fail,-- Must I thus always waver? What grief it gives Thou knowest well. Who shall my soul deliver, And set the salve for ever free From sin and death to live with Thee?-- I thank Thee, God, through Jesus!

Thou Goest to Jerusalem

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou goest to Jerusalem, O Son of God, to suffer, And for a world of sinful men Thy spotless life to offer; Thou bearest anguish, pain, and loss, The mockers' score, the scourge, the cross, To win for us salvation. 2 Before Thee lies Gethsemane, The scene of bitter anguish; Thine eyes behold the Calvary Where Thou in pain must languish; The bleeding wounds, the bitter gall, The crown of thorns, the judgment hall, Thy burdened soul's affliction. 3 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life; We pray Thee, Master, lead us Away from earth's vain, restless strife; With heavenly manna feed us. Thou who hast died to save the lost, Help us, dear Lord, to weigh the cost, And follow Thee, our Saviour. Amen.
