Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #214 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear Cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes in tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

Alas, my God! my sins are great

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #421 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence, in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek;--I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher, Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as seems Thee best, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Savior share it.

All depends on our possessing

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #363 (1918) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's free love and grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart; He who God for His hath taken 'Mid the changing world unshaken Keeps a free, heroic heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me, And to many a joy hath led me, Is and shall be ever mine; He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will not leave me now to pine. 3 Shall I weary me with fretting O'er vain trifles, and regretting Things that never can remain? I will strive but that to to win me Which can shed true rest within me,-- Rest the world must seek in vain. 4 When my heart with longing sickens, Hope again my courage quickens, For my wish shall be fulfilled, If it please His will most tender, Soul and body I surrender Unto Him on whom I build. 5 Well He knows how best to grant me All the longing hopes that haunt me; All things have their proper day; I would dictate to Him never, As God wills, so be it ever, When He wills I will obey. 6 If on earth He bids me linger, He will guide me with His finger Through the years that now look dim; All that earth has fleets and changes, As a river onward ranges, But I rest in peace on Him.

All my heart this night rejoices

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #145 (1918) Meter: 8.6.6.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing. Till the air Everywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, Who the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell o'erthroweth, God is man, man to deliver, His dear Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, Who to save Freely gave Us His dearest treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4 Should He, who Himself imparted, Aught withhold From the fold, Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who to cheer Sufferers here Left His throne above us? 5 If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He is our woe delighted, Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted? 6 He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away, And for aye Full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders, And our race, By His grace, Meet for glory renders. 7 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat: "Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, You are freed All you need I will surely give you." 8 Come, then, banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness; Love Him who with love is glowing. Hail the Star Near and far Light and joy bestowing! 9 Ye whose anguish knew no measure, Weep no more, See the door To celestial pleasure. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, Pain or loss, Can again betide you. 10 Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted; For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 11 Hither come, ye poor and wretched, Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretchèd; Here are riches without measure, Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 12 Let me in my arms receive Thee, On Thy breast Let me rest, Savior, ne'er to leave Thee! Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented. 13 Guilt no longer can distress me; Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me. Stain in me Thou findest never; I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever. 14 I am pure, in Thee believing, From Thy store Evermore Righteous robes receiving. In my heart I will enfold Thee, Treasure rare, Let me there Loving ever hold Thee! 15 Thee, O Lord, with heed I'll cherish, While I've breath, E'en in death Shall my faith not perish. I shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never. Topics: Christmas Languages: English

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #308 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then, in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live! 5 All that I am, e'en here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

Almighty Father, heav'n and earth

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #360 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father, heav'n and earth With lavish wealth before Thee bow; Those treasures owe to Thee their birth, Creator, Ruler, Giver, Thou. 2 The wealth of earth, of sky, of sea, The gold, the silver, sparkling gem, The waving corn, the bending tree, Are Thine; to us Thou lendest them. 3 To Thee, as early morning's dew, Our praises, alms, and prayer shall rise; As rose, when joyous earth was new, Faith's patriarchal sacrifice. 4 We, Lord, would lay, at Thy behest, The costliest offerings on Thy shrine; But when we give, and give our best, We only give Thee that is Thine. 5 O Father, whence all blessings come, O Son, dispenser of God's store, O Spirit, bear our offerings home, Lord, make them Thine for evermore.

Almighty God, Thy Word is cast

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #13 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy Word is cast Like seed upon the ground; Now let the dew of heaven descend, And righteous fruits abound. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove; But give it root in every heart, To bring forth fruits of love. 3 Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy; But let it yield a hundred fold The fruits of peace and joy. 4 Oft as the precious seed is sown, Thy quickening grace bestow, That all whose souls the truth receive, Its saving power may know.
