Tis the Most Blest and Needful Part

Author: Philip Heinrich Molther, 1714-1780; Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf, 1727-1752; Christian Gregor, 1723-1801 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #330 (1969) Topics: The Life in Christ Faith and Justification First Line: 'Tis the most blest and needful part Lyrics: 1 ‘Tis the most blest and needful part To have in Christ a share, And to commit our way and heart Unto His faithful care; This done, our steps are safe and sure, Our hearts’ desires are rendered pure, And naught can pluck us from His hand, Which lead us to the end. 2 Naught in this world affords true rest But Christ’s atoning blood. This purifies the guilty breast, And reconciles to God. Hence flows unfeigned love to Him Who came lost sinners to redeem, And Christ our Savior doth appear Daily to us more dear. 3 My lasting joy and comfort here Is Jesus’ death and blood; I with this passport can appear Before the throne of God. Admitted to the realms of bliss, I then shall see Him as He is, Where countless pardoned sinners meet Adoring at His feet. Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP

O mystery of love Divine

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #330 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 O mystery of love Divine That thought and thanks o'erpowers! Lord Jesus, was our portion Thine, And is Thy portion ours? 2 Emmanuel, didst Thou take our place To set us in Thine own? Didst Thou our low estate embrace To lift us to Thy throne? 3 Didst Thou fulfill each righteous deed, God's perfect will express, That we, th'unfaithful ones, might plead Thy perfect faithfulness? 4 On Thy pure soul did dread and gloom In that drear garden rise? And ours the brightness and the bloom Of Thine own Paradise? 5 For Thee the Father's hidden face? For Thee the bitter cry? For us the Father's endless grace, The song of victory? 6 Our load of sin and misery Didst Thou, the Sinless, bear? Thy spotless robe of purity Do we, the sinners, wear? 7 Lord Jesus, is it even so? Have we been lovèd thus? What love can we on Thee bestow Who hast exchanged with us? 8 Thou, who our very place didst take, Dwell in our very heart: Thou, who Thy portion ours dost make, Thyself, Thyself, impart.

Tho' thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark Thy sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap. 3 Yea, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other pow'r, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depths of deepest gloom, 4 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever; For in my Savior's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer And nevermore forsaketh His own dear child and heir.

Now I have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #385 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds mine anchor ever sure; ’Twas laid before the world’s creation In Christ my Savior’s wounds secure; Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav’n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending Which human wisdom far transcends, Of Him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break Whether we seek Him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God hath not intended, For our salvation He hath yearned; For this His Son to earth descended And then to heav’n again returned; For this so patient evermore He knocketh at our heart’s closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus’ blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 I never will forget this crying; In faith I’ll trust it all my days, And when o’er all my sins I’m sighing, Into the Father’s heart I’ll gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure That makes my soul and body glad And be deprived of earthly treasure And be forsaken, lone, and sad, Though my desire for help seem vain, His mercy shall with me remain. 7 Though earthly trials should oppress me And cares from day to day increase; Though earth’s vain things should sore distress me And rob me of my Savior’s peace; Though I be brought down to the dust, Still in His mercy I will trust. 8 When all my deeds I am reviewing, The deeds that I admire the most, I find in all my thought and doing That there is naught whereof to boast. Yet this sweet comfort shall abide-- In mercy I can still confide. 9 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While He my restless heart is stilling, May I His mercy not forget! Come weal, come woe, my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 10 I’ll stand upon this firm foundation As long as I on earth remain; This shall engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain; And then, when face to face with Thee, I’ll sing of mercy, great and free. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND
