Wohl Dem, Der In Gottesfurcht Steht

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wohl dem, der in Gottesfurcht steht, Und der auf seinem Wege geht; Dein eigen Hand dich nähren soll, So lebst du recht und geht dir wohl. 2 Dein Weib wird in dei’m Hause sein Wie ein’ Reben voll Trauben fein, Und dein’ Kinder um deinen Tisch Wie Ölpflanzen, gesund und frisch. 3 Sich so reich Segen hängt dem an, Wo in Gottes Furcht lebt ein Mann, Von ihm lässt der alt’ Fluch und Zorn, Den Menschenkindern angebor’n. 4 Aus Zion wird Gott segnen dich, Dass du wirst schauen stetiglich Das Glück der Stadt Jerusalem, Für Gott in Gnaden angenehm. 5 Fristen wird er das Leben dein Und mit Güte stets bei dir sein, Dass du sehen wirst Kindes Kind Und dass Israel Friede findt.

How Blessed Is This Place, O Lord

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blessed is this place, O Lord, Where Thou art worshiped and adored; Our faith would here an altar raise Unto Thy glory, God of praise! 2 Here let Thy sacred fire of old Descend to kindle spirits cold; And may our prayers, when here we bend, Like incense sweet to Thee ascend. 3 Here let the weary one find rest, The aching heart a comfort blest, The guilty soul a sure retreat, The sinner pardon at Thy feet. 4 Here gather us around Thy board To keep the feast with Thee, dear Lord, And when in faith our souls draw near, May we discern Thy presence here. 5 And when these earthly Sabbaths cease, O may our souls depart in peace, Around Thy glorious throne to meet, And find it, Lord, a mercy-seat! Amen. Topics: Occasional Dedications-Altar; Hospital; Church, Dedications; Dedications Altar Used With Tune: LOB SEI DEM ALLMÄCHTIGEN GOTT

We praise, dear Lord, Thy Name divine, For Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; No more we need to dread its gloom. 2 The tree where Thou wast offered up Now bears the fruit of life and hope: Thy precious blood for us is shed, Now we may feed on heav'nly bread. 3 We thank Thee, Jesus, that Thy hand Has freed us from sin's galling band; No more its thralldome we need fear; The year of liberty is here. 4 O Jesus Christ, God's Son elect, Our Paschal Lamb without defect, To us Thou givest strength indeed, In all our conflicts, all our need. 5 O grant, that as Thou didst arise, We, too, with joy, may heavenward rise, First from our sin, to love Thy way, Then from the grave on that great Day. 6 All praise to Thee who from death's might, From carnal lust and sin's dark plight Redeemest me, that even I May reach eternal life on high. Amen.

We are the people of Your choice, And while we in this grace rejoice, Our prayer is this, our constant care, That others too our bliss may share. 4.

We Long for Mighty Signs of God

Author: Hermann I. Weinlick, 1937- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We long for mighty signs of God— Cathedral, miracle, and sword, His power and glory written plain— So none may doubt that He is Lord. 2 But poor, in weakness, comes the Christ; His glory gone, no king we see; A servant Lord, no praise He seeks. Thus comes God’s power to such as we. 3 God’s work we cannot boldly trace, Yet even in us His Spirit flows. Our stumbling does not halt His course; Where we least think, He surely goes. 4 Not in our own strength, Lord, we move; Thy Kingdom falls not when we fall But forward presses day by day Until Thy truth is known by all.

Great Is The Lord, His Power Is Great

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, His power is great, My tongue His mighty acts relate: Adore and fear the sovereign Lord, Who rules all nature by His word. 2 He speaks—the gathering clouds obey; Thick darkness veils the face of day; Swift lightnings burst the pitchy cloud, And awful thunders roar aloud. 3 Roused at His call the winds awake, And from their wings destruction shake; With groans the bending woods resound, And cast their honors to the ground. 4 On mounting waves the sailors rise, They seem to touch the very skies; Instant they plunge with dreadful hiss, O’erwhelmed and lost in the abyss. 5 Well may poor mortals fear and quake, His voice makes hills and mountains shake: Far o’er the land the billows dash, And cities fall with hideous crash. 6 He speaks—the winds their fury cease, The raging waves are hushed to peace, Nature her calmest look puts on, Well pleased the sudden night is gone. 7 Great is the Lord, His power is great, My tongue His mighty acts relate: Adore and fear the sovereign Lord, Who rules all nature by His word.

When Joshua, By God's Command

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When Joshua, by God’s command Lyrics: 1 When Joshua, by God’s command, Invaded Canaan’s guilty land; Gibeon, unlike the nations round, Submission made and mercy found. 2 Their stubborn neighbors who, enraged, United war against them waged, By Joshua soon were overthrown, For Gibeon’s cause was now his own. 3 He, from whose arm they ruin feared, Their leader and ally appeared; An emblem of the Savior’s grace, To those who humbly seek His face. 4 The men of Gibeon wore disguise, And gained their peace by framing lies; For Joshua had no power to spare, If he had known from whence they were. 5 But Jesus invitations sends, Treating with rebels as His friends; And holds the promise forth in view, To all who for His mercy sue. 6 Too long His goodness I disdained, Yet went at last and peace obtained; But soon the noise of war I heard, And former friends in arms appeared. 7 Weak in myself for help I cried, "Lord, I am pressed on every side; The cause is Thine: They fight with me, But every blow is aimed at Thee."
