May God bestow on us His grace
Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 May God bestow on us His grace,
With blessings rich provide us,
And may the brightness of His face
To life eternal guide us;
That we His gracious work may know,
And what is His good pleasure,
And also to the heathen show
Christ's riches without measure,
And unto God convert them.
2 To Thee let all the heathen bring
Their joyful gratulations,
And all the world rejoice and sing
With psalms and acclamations;
For Thou, O God, wilt judge the earth;
Nor suffer sin to flourish:
Thy land no more shall mourn her dearth,
Thy word shall keep and nourish
In righteous paths all people.
3 O let the people praise Thy worth,
In all good works increasing;
The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth,
Thy word is rich in blessing.
May God the Father, God the Son,
And Holy Spirit, bless us:
To whom by all be honor done!
Let solemn awe possess us,
Yea, fear Him, all ye people. Topics: Worship in General; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Missions; Praise and Prayer Used With Tune: [May God bestow on us His grace]

We hail Thee, Lord, Thy Church's Rock
Author: Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We hail Thee, Lord, Thy Church's Rock,
With joyful acclamation!
Thou Guardian Shepherd of Thy flock,
Come feed Thy congregation.
We own the doctrine of Thy Cross
To be our sole foundation:
Accept from every one of us
The deepest adoration.
2 O Thou, who always dost abide
Thy Church's Head and Saviour,
Be still Thy servants' constant Guide,
Direct our whole behavior.
Thy statutes to Thy Church declare,
Still watch o'er its salvation:
Each member make Thy special care
And aid him in his station.
3 Jesus, the Church's Head and Lord,
Who as a shepherd leadest,
And with Thy precious Blood and Word
Thy people richly feedest:
For mercies in such countless throng
We bow our hearts before Thee,
And hope we shall in heaven ere long
More worthily adore Thee. Used With Tune: EIN NEUES LIED WIR HEBEN AN Text Sources: Moravian, Tr. 1789

The Mystery Hidden from the Eyes
Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: The myst'ry hidden from the eyes Lyrics: 1 The myst'ry hidden from the eyes
Of learned men and sages,
God hath revealed us from the skies,
In Scripture's holy pages,
That He alone is King above
All other gods whatever,
Great, mighty, faithful, full of love,
His people's Shield and Savior;
One Essence, but three Persons.
2 As Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The righteous seed adore Him;
So named, so praised, He is the boast
Of all who bow before Him;
He's Abraham's and Isaac's God,
And Jacob's whom He knoweth,
The Lord of hosts, who ev'ry good,
Both night and day, bestoweth;
Who only worketh wonders.
3 The Father hath the Son begot,
Firstborn of ev'ry creature;
The Son took our weak flesh, but not
Our sinfulness of nature;
Both from the Father and the Son
Thy Holy Ghost proceedeth
From all eternity; yet none
In might and pow'r exceedeth;
All equal, co-eternal.
4 Be glad, my heart, thy Portion see,
Thy priceless Pearl and Treasure!
He is thy Friend, supply will He
Thy needs with bounteous measure;
He made thee in His image blest,
Was for thy pardon smitten,
With true faith fills thee, through His grace
Doth all thy crosses sweeten
With His dear Word of promise.
5 Rise, then, to Him the Ever-blest,
And learn to know Him rightly;
Such knowledge can alone bring rest,
And make thy soul burn brightly
With the pure flame of holy love,
Which cheers thy course to heaven;
For God will show thee things above,
Which here 'tis only given
To hear of, and see darkly.
6 O Prince of Might! Thy mercy show,
Thou God of earth and heaven;
To ev'ry sinner here below
Thy saving grace be given!
Bring back Thy sheep that go astray,
And sinful eyes enlighten,
And turn Thou everything away
That wickedly might frighten
Thine own, whose faith is feeble.
7 Grant this, that we, Thy people, may
All reach the heav'nly portals,
And in Thy kingdom sing for aye
'Mid all the blest immortals:
That Thou, O Lord, art King alone,
Above all gods whatever,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, One,
Thy people's Shield and Savior,
One Essence, but three Persons!
