Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 631 hymnals First Line: Hail, O once-despised Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus! Hail, O Galilean King! You have suffered to release us, hope to give and peace to bring. Hail, O universal Savior, bearer of our sin and shame; by your merits we find favor: life is given through your name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins were on you were laid; by almighty love anointed, you have full atonement made. Ev'ry sin has been forgiven through the power of your blood; open is the gate of heaven, we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus, heav'nly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, and our place you now prepare, ever for us interceding till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, pow'r, and blessing, you are worthy to receive; loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give. Help, O bright angelic spirits, all your noblest anthems raise; help to sing our Savior's merits, help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 515 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers thee: Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me?" 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all; With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what heaven demand; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth-- "Here am I; send me, send me."

Blessed Saviour, who hast taught me

At the font my vows were spoken By my parents in the Lord; That my vows shall be unbroken, At the altar I record. 2 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, O my only Guard from harm! Meet me now with Thy salvation, In The church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy confirmation In Thy truth and fear today: 3 So that might and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining Steadfast in the true belief, Resting in my Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,319 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose Word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 238 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee. Multitudes, which none can number Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2 Patriarch and holy prophet, Who prepared the way of Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, Martyr, and evangelist, Saintly maiden, godly matron, Widows who have watched to payer, Joined in holy concert, singing To the Lord of all, are there. 3 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood. Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 4 Marching with Thy Cross, their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Savior and their King. Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered, Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died, And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 5 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite. Love and peace they taste forever And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity. 6 God of God, the One-begotten Light of Light, Emmanuel, In whose body, joined together, All the saints forever dwell. Pour upon us of Thy fulness That we may forevermore God the Father, God the Spirit, One with Thee on high, adore. Amen.

Geist des Glaubens, Geist der Stärke

Author: Philipp Spitta Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Geist des Glaubens, Geist der Stärke, des Gehorsams und der Zucht, Schöpfer aller Gotteswerke, Träger aller Himmelsfrucht, Geist, der einst der heilgen Männer, Kön'ge und Prophetenschar, der Apostel und Bekenner Trieb und Kraft und Zeugnis war: 2 Rüste du mit deinen Gaben auch uns schwache Kinder aus, Kraft und Glaubensmut zu haben, Eifer für des Herren Haus; eine Welt mit ihren Schätzen, Menschengunst und gute Zeit, Leib und Leben dranzusetzen in dem großen, heilgen Streit. 3 Gib uns Abrahams gewisse, feste Glaubenszuversicht, die durch alle Hindernisse, alle Zweifel siegend bricht; die nicht bloß dem Gnadenbunde trauet froh und unbewegt, auch das Liebste jede Stunde Gott zu Füßen niederlegt. 4 Gib uns Moses Flehn und Beten um Erbarmung und Geduld, wenn durch freches Übertreten unser Volk häuft Schuld auf Schuld. Laß uns nicht mit kaltem Herzen unter den Verdorbnen stehn, nein, mit Moses heilgen Schmerzen für sie seufzen, weinen, flehn. 5 Gib uns Davids Mut, zu streiten mit den Feinden Israels, sein Vertraun in Leidenszeiten auf den Herren, seinen Fels; Feindeslieb und Freundestreue, seinen königlichen Geist und ein Herz, das voller Reue Gottes Gnade sucht und preist. 6 Gib Elias heilge Strenge, wenn den Götzen dieser Zeit die verführte blinde Menge Tempel und Altäre weiht, daß wir nie vor ihnen beugen Haupt und Knie, auch nicht zum Schein, sondern fest als deine Zeugen dastehn, wenn auch ganz allein. 7 Gib uns der Apostel hohen, ungebeugten Zeugenmut, aller Welt trotz Spott und Drohen zu verkünden Christi Blut. Laß die Wahrheit uns bekennen, die uns froh und frei gemacht; gib, daß wir's nicht lassen können, habe du die Übermacht. 8 Schenk gleich Stephanus uns Frieden mitten in der Angst der Welt, wenn das Los, das uns beschieden, in den schwersten Kampf uns stellt. In dem rasenden Getümmel schenk uns Glaubensheiterkeit, öffn im Sterben uns den Himmel, zeig uns Jesu Herrlichkeit. 9 Geist des Glaubens, Geist der Stärke, des Gehorsams und der Zucht, Schöpfer aller Gotteswerke, Träger aller Himmelsfrucht, Geist, du Geist der heilgen Männer, Kön'ge und Prophetenschar, der Apostel und Bekenner: auch bei uns werd offenbar!
