Brief life is here our portion
Stop, poor sinnesr, stop and think
Author: Newton Meter: 7.6 Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: Alarming
Stop, poor sinnesr, stop and think
Lo! God to heaven ascendeth!
Meter: 7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LO! God to heaven ascendeth!
Throughout its regions vast
With shouts triumphant blendeth
The trumpet's thrilling blast:
Sing praise to Christ the Lord,
Sing praise with exultation,
King of each heathen nation!
The God of hosts adored!
2 With joy is heaven resounding,
Christ's glad return to see;
Behold the saints surrounding
The Lord who set them free:
Bright myriads thronging come;
The cherub band rejoices,
And loud seraphic voices
Welcome Messiah home.
3 No more the way is hidden,
Since Christ, our Head, arose:
No more to man forbidden
The road to heaven that goes.
Our Lord is gone before,
Yet here He will not leave us,
In heaven He'll soon receive us;
He opens wide the door.
4 Christ is our place preparing,
To heaven we, too, shall rise,
And, joys angelic sharing,
Be where our Treasure lies,
There may each heart be found!
Where Jesus Christ has entered,
There let our hopes be centered,
Our course still heavenward bound!
5 May we, His servants, thither
In heart and mind ascend;
And let us sing together:
"We seek Thee, Christ our Friend,
Thee, God's anointed Son,
Our Life, and Way to heaven,
To whom all power is given,
Our Joy, and Hope, and Crown!"
6 Farewell with all thy treasures,
O world, to falsehood given!
Thy dross gives no true pleasures;
We seek the joys of heaven:
The Saviour is our Prize;
He comforts us in sadness,
And fills our hearts with gladness;
To Him we lift our eyes.
7 When, on our vision dawning,
Will break the wished-for hour
Of that all-glorious morning,
When Christ shall come with power?
O come, thou welcome day!
When we, our Saviour meeting,
His second advent greeting,
Shall hail the heaven-sent ray. Topics: Ascension

Election
Author: Hart Meter: 7.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Mighty enemies without Lyrics: 1 Mighty enemies without,
Much mightier within,
Thoughts we cannot quell or rout,
Blasphemously obscene;
Coldness, unbelief, and pride,
Hell and all its murderous train,
Threaten death on every side,
And have their thousands slain.
2 Thus pursued, and thus distressed,
Ah! whither shall we fly?
To obtain the promised rest,
On what sure hand rely?
Shall the Christian trust his heart?
That, alas! of foes the worst,
Always takes the tempter’s part;
Nay, often tempts him first.
3 If today we be sincere,
And can both watch and pray,
Watchfulness, perhaps, and prayer,
Tomorrow may decay.
If we now believe aright,
Faithfulness is God’s alone,
We are feeble, fickle, light,
To changes ever prone.
4 But we build upon a base
That nothing can remove,
When we trust electing grace
And everlasting love.
Victory over all our foes
Christ has given with his blood,
Perseverance he bestows
On every child of God.
Election
At Dismission
Author: Hart Meter: 7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Guardian of thy helpless sheep Lyrics: Guardian of thy helpless sheep,
Jesus, almighty Lord,
Help our heedful hearts to keep
The treasure of thy word;
Let not Satan steal what’s sown;
Bid it bring forth precious fruit;
Thou canst soften hearts of stone,
And make thy word take root.
At Dismission
While yet the morn is breaking
Meter: 7.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 WHILE yet the morn is breaking,
I thank my God once more,
Beneath whose care awaking
I find the night is o'er;
I thank Him that He calls me
To life and health anew;
I know, whate'er befalls me,
His care will still be true.
2 Guardian of Israel, hear me,
Watch o'er me through the day,
In all I do be near me:
For others too, I pray;
To Thee I would commend them,
Our Church, our school, our land,
Direct them and defend them,
When dangers are at hand.
3 O gracious Lord, direct us,
Thy doctrine pure defend,
From heresies protect us,
And for Thy Word contend,
That we may praise Thee ever,
O God, with one accord,
Saying: The Lord our Saviour
Be evermore adored!
4 O grant us peace and gladness,
Give us our daily bread,
Shield us from grief and sadness,
On us Thy blessings shed;
Grant that our whole behaviour
In truth and righteousness
May praise Thee, Lord our Saviour,
Whose holy name we bless.
5 And gently grant Thy blessing,
That we may do Thy will,
No more Thy ways transgressing,
Our proper task fulfill;
With Peter's full affiance
Let down our nets again;
If Thou art our Reliance,
Our toil will not be vain.
6 With craftiness unceasing
Strives Satan to restrain
What in Thy sight is pleasing,
And for Thy Church is gain;
Yet vain is his endeavor,
For Thou, O Christ our Lord,
Dost rule all things forever
By Thine almighty Word.
7 Thou art the Vine,--O nourish
The branches graft in Thee,
And let them grow and flourish
A fair and fruitful tree;
Thy Spirit pour within us,
And let His gifts of grace
To all good actions win us,
That best may show Thy praise. Topics: Morning

O how shall I receive Thee
Meter: 7.6 Appears in 94 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee,
How greet Thee, Lord, aright?
All nations long to see Thee,
My hope, my heart's delight!
O kindle, Lord, most holy,
Thy lamp within my breast,
To do in spirit lowly
All that may please Thee best.
2 Thy Zion palms is strewing,
And branches fresh and fair;
My heart, its powers renewing,
An anthem shall prepare.
My soul puts off her sadness
Thy glories to proclaim:
With all her strength and gladness
She fain would serve Thy name.
3 I lay in fetters groaning;
Thou comest to set me free!
I stood, my shame bemoaning,
Thou comest to honor me;
A glory Thou dost give me,
A treasure safe on high,
That will not fail nor leave me,
As earthly riches fly.
4 Love caused Thy incarnation,
Love brought Thee down to me.
Thy thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race!
5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted,
Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o'er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom:
He who alone can cheer you,
Is standing at the door;
In pity He is near you,
And bids you weep no more.
6 Ye who, with guilty terror,
Are trembling, fear no more;
With love and grace the Saviour
Shall you to hope restore.
He comes to heal the spirit
That mourneth, sin-oppressed,
He comes, that we inherit
Eternal joy and rest.
7 He comes to judge the nations,
A terror to His foes,
A light of consolations
And blessed hope to those
Who love the Lord's appearing:
O glorious Sun, now come,
Send forth Thy beams so cheering
And guide us safely home! Topics: TheChurch Year Advent; Christ Second Advent of; Doubt and Fear Used With Tune: O SACRED HEAD, NOW WOUNDED
