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! Topics: The Church Year Christmas; The Church Year Sunday after Christmas; Justification; Law of God; Salvation Used With Tune: [To us salvations now is come]
To us salvation now is come
All glory be to God on High
Author: N. Von Hofe Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics:
All glory be to God on High,
Who hath our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The feud at last is ended;
God showeth His goodwill toward men,
And peace shall dwell on earth again,
Oh thank Him for His goodness.
We praise, we worship Thee, we trust,
And give Thee thanks for ever,
O Father, that Thy rule is just
And wise, and changes never:
Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns,
Done is whate'er Thy will ordains;
Well for us that Thou rulest!
O Jesu Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of Thy heavenly Father,
O Thou who hast our peace restored
And the lost sheep dost gather,
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high
From out our depths we sinners cry,
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
O Holy Ghost, Thou precious Gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,
O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift,
And let Thy power availing
Avert our woes and calm our dread,
For us the Saviour's blood was shed
We trust in Thee to save us!
All glory be to God on High

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? Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: STRASBURG
Behold The Man! How Heavy Lay
From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee
Author: Martin Luther; F. Samuel Janzow Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: From depths of woe I cry to you, O Lord, my voice is trying
From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee
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. Topics: The Church Year Eighth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Eighth Sunday after Trinity; Church of Christ Used With Tune: [Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold]

Lord, Disperse the Mists of Error
Author: Johan Åström Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, disperse the mists of error,
In Thy light let me see light;
Give Thou me that faith and vision
Whereby I may walk aright.
In my Saviour's path discerning,
Through this vale of doubt and strife,
Footsteps to eternal life.
2 Shed Thy light upon my pathway,
Be my light in death's dark hour.
Let me, freed from sin's dread burden,
From the Law's accusing power,
Nearer draw, and ever nearer,
To that land with glory bright,
Where Thou art Eternal Light.
Amen.
