The God Who Sits Enthroned on High (1)

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The God who sits enthroned on high Lyrics: 1. The God who sits enthroned on high The foolish to their heart deny; Not one does good; corrupt in thought, Unrighteous works their hands have wrought. 2. From Heaven the Lord with searching eye Looked down the sons of men to try, To see if any understood And sought for God, the only good. 3. From righteousness they all depart, Corrupt are all, and vile in heart; Yea, every man has evil done; Not one does good, not even one. 4. Has knowledge with the wicked failed, That they My people have assailed, That they delight in works of shame, And call not on Jehovah’s name? 5. Thy lowly servant they despise, Because he on the Lord relies; But they shall tremble yet in fear, For to the righteous God is near. 6. O that from Zion, His abode, Salvation were on us bestowed! When God His exiles shall restore, They shall in song His grace adore.

Lord, Help Us Ever to Retain

Author: Ludwig Helmbold; Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, help us ever to retain The catechism’s doctrine plain As Luther taught the word of truth In simple style to tender youth. 2. Help us Thy holy law to learn, To mourn our sin, and from it turn In faith to Thee and to Thy Son And Holy Spirit, Three in One. 3. Hear us, dear Father, when we pray For needed help from day to day That as Thy children we may live, Whom Thou in baptism did receive. 4. Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain, Absolve and lift us up again; And thro’ the sacrament increase Our faith till we depart in peace. Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S

The Lord Appears To Earth Again

Author: Unknown; Arthur T. Russell Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The Lord again to earth appears Lyrics: 1 The Lord again to earth appears, Our comforter in all our tears; Who lately on the shameful tree Died, wretched man from wrath to free. 2 The holy women spices brought, And with the dawn their Savior sought; To them the blessèd angels say: "Fear not, the Lord is risen today." 3 "Bid His disciples weep no more: This day doth Christ to them restore." Lord, ours this paschal joy shall be; Thanks to the blessèd Trinity. Used With Tune: BRESLAU Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns (Cambridge, England: John Deighton, 1851)

How beauteous were the marks divine

Author: A. C. Coxe Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine That in Thy meekness used to shine That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Son of God. 2 O who like Thee, so calm, so bright, Thou Son of man, Thou Light of Light; O who like Thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? 3 O who like Thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men before? So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high, So glorious in humility! 4 And all Thy life's unchanging years, A man of sorrows and of tears, The cross, where all our sins were laid, Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed. 5 And death, that sets the prisoner free, Was pang and scoff and scorn to Thee; Yet love through all Thy torture glowed, And mercy with Thy life-blood flowed. 5 O in Thy light be mine to go, Illuming all this way of woe; And give me ever on the road To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!

It Is The Lord! Behold His Hand

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord! Behold His hand Outstretched with an afflictive rod; And hark! a voice goes through the land, "Be still, and know that I am God." 2 Shall we, like guilty Adam, hide In darkest shades our darker fears? For who His coming may abide? Or who shall stand when He appears? 3 No—let us throng around His seat; No—let us meet Him face to face, Prostrate our spirits at His feet, Confess our sins, and sue for grace. 4 Who knows but God will hear our cries, Turn swift destruction from our path, Restrain His judgments, or chastise In tender mercy, not in wrath? 5 He will, He will, for Jesus pleads; Let Heav’n and earth His love record; For us, for us, He intercedes; Our help is nigh—it is the Lord! 6 Into His hands then let us fall, Come health or sickness, life or death; Whether He send us balm for gall, Or immortality for breath.
