Author: K. Bienemann, 1540-91; E. Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me; No other wish I cherish. In life and death I cling to Thee; O do not let me perish! Let not Thy grace from me depart And grant an ever patient heart To bear what Thou dost send me. 2 Grant honor, truth, and purity, And love Thy Word to ponder; From all false doctrine keep me free. Bestow, both here and yonder, What serves my everlasting bliss; Preserve me from unrighteousness Throughout my earthly journey. 3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave This vale of sin and sadness, Give me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve, But to depart with gladness. To Thee my spirit I commend; O Lord, grant me a blessed end Through Jesus Christ, my Savior. Topics: Election; Epiphany 5 Used With Tune: HERR, WIE DU WILLST

Holy, blessèd Trinity! 2 This the Name from ancient ages Hidden in its dazzling light; This the Name that kings and sages, Prayed and strove to know aright, Through God's wondrous Incarnation, Now revealed the world's salvation, Ever blessèd Trinity! Ever blessèd Trinity! 3 Into this great Name and holy, We all tribes and tongues baptize; Thus the Highest owns the lowly, Homeward, heavenward, bids them rise; Gathers them from every nation, Bids them join in adoration Of the blessèd Trinity! Of the blessèd Trinity! 4 In this Name the heart rejoices, Pouring forth its secret prayer: In this Name we lift our voices, And our common faith declare; Offering humble supplication, Thanks, and praise, and veneration To the blessèd Trinity! To the blessèd Trinity! 5 Glory be to God the Father, Glory be to God the Son, Glory be to God the Spirit, Great Jehovah, Three in One.

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?

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.
