Self-righteous souls on works rely
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a397 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2 'Twas grace that quickened me when dead,
And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross,
'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.
4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near;
And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.
5 Through endless years of grace I'll sing,
Adore and bless my heavenly King;
I'll cast my crown before His throne,
Saved by His sov'reign grace alone. Languages: English
Self-righteous souls on works rely
God of grace, whose Word is sure
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a398 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose Word is sure,
Thou who keenest truth forever,
That my trust may rest secure
On this ground that wavers never,
Let Thy truth be dear to me,
That my soul may faithful be.
2 Ever true this word remains:
He who Christ to own refuses,
While he earthly comfort gains,
Everlasting comfort loses;
For the Savior will not own
Him before the Father's throne.
3 To the banner of the cross
I fidelity have plighted,
It would be my endless loss
If this solemn vow were slighted;
Therefore Jesus, none but He,
Shall my constant watchword be.
4 Let me, till my latest breath,
Christ confess with constant meekness;
Let me faithful be till death,
Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness;
Let me live in Him, and die
Heir of mansions in the sky. Languages: English
God of grace, whose Word is sure
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a399 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my All shalt be.
Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
2 Haste my soul from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Languages: English
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a400 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
By ancient worthies trod;
Aspiring, view those holy men
Who lived and walked with God.
2 Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear,
And in example live;
Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds,
Still fresh instruction give.
3. ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood
They conquered every foe;
To His power and matchless grace
Their crowns of life they owe.
4 Lord, may I ever keep in view
The patterns Thou hast giv'n,
And ne’er forsake the blessèd road
That led them safe to Heaven. Languages: English
Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
Flung to the heedless winds
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a401 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Flung to the heedless winds,
Or on the waters cast,
The martyrs' ashes will
Be gathered at the last:
And from that scattered dust,
Around us and abroad,
Shall spring a plenteous seed
Of witnesses for God.
2 Jesus has now received
Their latest living breath;
Yet vain is Satan's boast
Of vict'ry in their death:
Still, still, though dead, they speak,
And, trumpet-tongued, proclaim
To many a wak'ning land
The one availing Name. Languages: English
Flung to the heedless winds
Who knew no sin and no deceiving
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a402 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Who knew no sin and no deceiving,
Has borne my sin and my distress;
And I by grace in Him believing,
Now deck me with His righteousness.
As He is sinner to my good,
So I am holy through His blood.
2 Nay not in me, self-righteous were it,
On God's grace rests my holiness;
He looks on Christ's atoning merit,
And counts this as my righteousness:
This I believe, and hence my claim,
That I am holy in His name.
3 In Christ, by faith then, I am holy,
In self though 'tis not yet the case;
But I will likewise now so wholly
Seek e'er in life to walk by grace,
That soul and body may remain
All blameless till Christ come again.
4 I will devote my every member
To serve in righteousness God's will,
Then when I falter, e'er remember
That I may trust God's mercy still;
And pray that God would guide through strife,
That I may lead a holy life.
5 Thus will I walk, O God, before Thee,
That my light too may shine alway,
And that I by my life adore Thee,
Till I at length on that great day
In life and self shall holy be,
And wholly perfect, Lord, with Thee. Languages: English
Who knew no sin and no deceiving
Lord, it belongs not to our care
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a403 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to our care
Whether we die or live;
To love and serve Thee be our share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 Christ leads us through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
Whoever to God's kingdom comes,
Must enter by this door.
3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
4 There shall we end our sad complaints,
And weary sinful days;
And join with the triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise.
5 Our knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And we shall be with him. Languages: English
Lord, it belongs not to our care
Blest be Thy love, dear Lord
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a404 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Blest be Thy love, dear Lord,
That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love Thee for Thyself,
And for that love obey.
2 O Thou, our soul's chief Hope!
We to Thy mercy fly;
What'er we are, Thou canst protect,
What'er we need, supply.
3 Whether we sleep or wake,
To Thee we both resign;
The darkest night is as the day,
If Thy light on us shine.
4 Whether we live or die,
Both we submit to Thee;
In death we live as well as life,
If Thine in faith we be.
Languages: English
Blest be Thy love, dear Lord
My God, I love Thee, not because
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a405 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because
I hope for heav'n thereby;
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
Yea, death itself; and all for one
That was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ,
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning heav'n,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But solely for Thy love to me,
O ever-loving Lord!
6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing,
Alone because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Languages: English
My God, I love Thee, not because
Jesus! be our Guide
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a406 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Jesus! be our Guide,
As through life we glide;
Faithfully in our behavior
May we follow Thee, dear Savior,
Lead us by Thy hand
Through to fatherland.
2 When the world is cold,
Let us to Thee hold;
When the cup of sorrow draining,
May we do so uncomplaining;
For through trials we
Find our way to Thee.
3 When affliction's smart
Anguishes the heart--
Though our life be woe and weakness,
Help us bear our cross in meekness;
May we keep in mind,
God's a Father kind.
4 Order Thou our ways,
Lord! through all our days;
Though our path be dark and cheerless,
Jesus with us, we'll be fearless;
Open, when life's o'er,
Lord! to us Thy door! Languages: English
Jesus! be our Guide
