To us salvation now is come

Author: P. Speratus Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To us salvation now is come, Through free-est grace and favor, Our works could not avert our doom, Thy keep and save us never; Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, Who did for all the world atone; He is our one Redeemer. 2 What God doth in His law demand, No man to Him doth render; Before His bar all guilty stand; His law speaks curse in thunder The law demands a perfect heart; We were defiled in every part, And lost was our condition. 3 False dreams deluded minds did fill, That God His law did tender, As if to Him we could, at will, The due obedience render: The law is but a mirror bright To bring the inbred sin to sight, That lurks within our nature. 4 To cleanse ourselves from sinful stain, According to our pleasure, Was labor lost--works were in vain-- Sin grew beyond all measure; For when with power the precept came, It did reveal sin's guilt and shame And awful condemnation. 5 Still all the law fulfilled must be, Else we were lost forever, Then God His Son sent down that He Might us from doom deliver; He all the law for us fulfilled And thus His Father's anger stilled Which over us impended. 6 As Christ hath full atonement made And brought to us salvation, So may each Christian now be glad And build on this foundation: Thy grace alone, dear Lord, I plead, Thy death now is my life indeed, For Thou hast paid my ransom. 7 Not doubting this, I trust in Thee, Thy word cannot be broken, Thou all dost call, "Come to Me!" No falsehood hast Thou spoken: "He who believes and is baptized, He shall be saved," say'st Thou, O Christ, And he shall never perish. 8 The just is he--and he alone-- Who by this faith is living, The faith that by good works is shown, To God the glory giving; Faith gives thee peace with God above, But thou thy neighbor, too, must love, If thou art new created. 9 The law reveals the guilt of sin, And makes man conscience-stricken The gospel then doth enter in, The sin-sick soul to quicken: Come to the cross, look up and live! The law no peace to thee doth give, Nor can its deeds afford it. 10 Faith to the cross of Christ doth cling And rest in Him securely; And forth from it good works must spring As fruits and tokens surely; Still faith doth justify alone, Works serve thy neighbor and make known The faith that lives within thee. 11 Hope waits for the accepted hour-- Till God give joy for mourning, When He displays His healing power, Thy sighs to songs are turning; Thy needs are known unto thy Lord, And He is faithful to His word, This is our hope's foundation. 12 Though it may seem, He hears thee not, Count not thyself forsaken; Thy wants are ne'er by Him forgot, Let this thy hope awaken; His word is sure, here is thy stay, Although thy heart to this saith nay, Let not thy faith be shaken. 13 All blessing, honor, thanks and praise, To Father, Son and Spirit, The God who saved us by His grace, All glory to His merit: O Father in the heavens above, The work begun performs Thy love, Thy worthy name be hallowed. 14 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done In earth, as 'tis in heaven: Keep us in life, by grace led on, Forgiving and forgiven; Save Thou us in temptation's hour, And from all ills; Thine is the power, And all the glory, Amen!

Behold The Man! How Heavy Lay

Author: Henry Mills; Balthasar Muenter Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the man! how heavy lay On Him the sinner's burden! What grievous price Had He to pay, That we might hope for pardon! Such sorrows, since the world began, Before were never seen by man, Nor ever after witnessed. 2 Behold the man! it was for thee Such shame and grief He suffered; Now hear Him say: Behold, in Me, The victim for thee offered! The guilt was thine, I bore its load For thee, atoning with My blood: I died, from death to save thee! 3 Blest Jesus, God's beloved Son, Who all my sins removest, Exalted to Thy Father's throne, Show that my soul Thou lovest. And let Thy griefs and death, O Lord, New life and peace to me afford,-- Thus glorify Thy mercy. 4 And when the world, when flesh and blood, To paths of sin allure me; 'Gainst wand'ring from the heav'nly road, Do Thou, O Lord, secure me; In mercy cry to me: Behold, The man who suffered ills untold For thee!--Wilt thou forsake Me?

Though grief may tarry for a night, The morn shall break in joy and light With blessings from His presence. 3 The Lord will turn His face in peace When troubled souls draw near Him; His loving kindness shall not cease To those who trust and fear Him.

Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good!

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good! Thou spreadst for our salvation Thy body and Thy blood as food, And giv'st us invitation; As weary souls, with sin oppressed, We come to Thee for needed rest, For counsel and forgiveness. 2 Although Thou didst ascend to heaven, Where angels bow before Thee, And now to mortals 'tis not given By sight here to adore Thee, Until begins Thy judgment grand, When we before Thy throne shall stand, And cheerfully behold Thee; 3 Yet art Thou ever with us, Lord, And with Thy congregation, And not confined--so says Thy Word-- To any habitation. Firm as a rock Thy Word still stands, Unshaken by the en'mies' hands, Though they be e'er so cunning. 4 Thou say'st: "This is my body; eat, And orally receive me! This is my blood; drink all of it, And henceforth never leave me!" Thou art almighty, and with Thee Impossible is nothing. 5 Although my reason cannot see How in so many places Thy body at one time may be, Yet faith Thy Word embraces. How it can be, I leave to Thee, Thy Word alone sufficeth me, For Thou wilt that we trust it. 6 Lord, I believe in simple trust, Strength in my weakness give me, For I am nought but sinful dust, Nor of Thy Word bereave me! Thy Baptism, Supper, and Thy Word, My consolation are, O Lord, For they contain my treasure. 7 Grant that we worthily receive Thy Supper, Lord our Savior, That for our sins we truly grieve, And prove by our behavior That we obtained Thy saving grace, And trust in it throughout our days; Then will our life be godly. 8 For Thy consoling Supper, Lord, Be praised throughout all ages! Preserve it, for with one accord The world against it rages. Grant that Thy body and Thy blood May be my sole comfort and sweet food In my last moments. Amen! Topics: Catechism

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place, a rest in tribulations, to us, thine own redeemed race, through all our generations. Thou, ere the mountains sprang to birth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth, art God from everlasting. 2 Thou turnest man again to clay; by thee that doom was spoken; as with a torrent borne away, gone like a sleep when broken. A thousand years are in the sight but as a watch amid the night, or yesterday departed. 3 At morn we flourish like the grass, when green and fresh it groweth, which, withered ere the evening pass, the sweeping sickle moweth. Thus do thy chastisements consume our blasted hopes, our early bloom, we fade at thy displeasure. 4 Lo! thou hast set before thine eyes all our misdeeds and errors; our secret sins from darkness rise to thy confronting terrors. At thy rebuke, cut short by death, our life is like the transient breath, that told a bygone story. 5 Our days are three-score years and ten; ten more man's strength may borrow; but if the span be lengthened then that strength is toil and sorrow; for soon arrives the closing hour: but who discern thy fearful power, proportioned to thine anger? 6 Lord, teach us so to count our days, that we may prize them duly, and set our heart on wisdom's ways, that we may praise thee truly. Return, thy servants' griefs behold, and with thy mercy, as of old, O, satisfy us early! 7 restore us comfort for our fears, joy for our long affliction; our children give through changing years increasing benediction. Thy glorious beauty, Lord, reveal; and with thy prospering favour seal thy servants and their labours. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN

Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold

Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold, And let Thy pity waken! How few the flock within Thy fold, Neglected and forsaken! Men suffer not Thy Word to stand, And faith seems quenched on every hand Dark times have us o'ertaken. 2 With fraud which they themselves invent Thy truth they have confounded; Their hearts are not with one consent On Thy pure doctrine grounded; And, whilst they gleam with outward show, They lead Thy people to and fro, In error's maze astounded. 3 God surely will uproot all those Who with deceits now store us; with haughty tongue they God oppose, And say, "Who stands before us? By right or might we shall prevail; What we determine cannot fail, For who can lord it o'er us?" 4 Then saith our God: I will arise, These wolves My flock are rending; I've heard My people's bitter sighs To heaven, My throne, ascending: My saving Word shall fight And fearlessly and sharply smite, The poor with might defending. 5 As silver tried by fire is pure From all adulteration; So, through God's word, shall men endure Each trial and temptation: Its worth gleams brighter through the cross, And, purified from human dross, It shines through every nation. 6 Defend, O God, Thy truth, and stay This evil generation; And from the error of their way Keep Thine own congregation. The wicked everywhere abound, And would Thy little flock confound, Which, Lord, forbid them. Amen.
