From depths of woe I raise to thee

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I raise to thee The voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me And hear my supplication: If thou iniquities dost mark, Our secret sins and misdeeds dark, O who shall stand before thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, Grace, grace alone availeth; Our works, alas! are all in vain; In much the best life faileth: No man can glory in thy sight, All must alike confess thy might, And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; On him my soul shall rest, his Word Upholds my fainting spirit: His promised mercy is my fort, My comfort and my sweet support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the livelong night, And till the dawn appeareth, My heart still trusteth in his might; It doubteth not nor feareth: Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed; And wait till God appeareth. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is he, Who will at last his Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Amen.

O Death, Where Is Thy Cruel Sting

Author: Justus Gesenius; Geo. Weissel Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: O death, where is thy cruel sting? Lyrics: 1 O death, where is thy cruel sting? O grave, where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring? Why need we fear or cower? All thanks to God who won the fight And saved us from our wretched plight Thro' Jesus Christ, our Savior. 2 How mightily the serpent strove When Christ with him contended! Thro' craftiness awhile he throve, But now his rule is ended. For tho' he bruised the Savior's heel, He yet no mortal thrust could deal; His head is bruised and trodden. 3 He lives, who by the foe was slain And held awhile in prison; His members now shall freedom gain, Since He, their Head, is risen. If heed unto His Word they give, Tho' they were dead, yet shall they live; Nor death nor grave an hold them. 4 If daily we with Christ arise Thro' faith and true repentance, Then may we calmly close our eyes And laugh to scorn death's sentence; For death is shorn of all its pow'rs, While peace and pardon now are ours, Eternal life and glory. 5 Behold the spoils that we possess, For which the Lord has striven: Forgiveness, peace and righteousness, Eternal life in heaven. So here we now with joy abide Till, in the body glorified, We dwell with Him forever. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: DECIUS Text Sources: Tr. Composite

God is our refuge and defense; In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in His omnipotence, What foe can make our souls afraid? 2. Yea, though the earth’s foundations rock, And mountains down the gulf be hurled, His people smile amid the shock: They look beyond this transient world. 3. There is a river pure and bright, Whose streams make glad the heavenly plains; Where, in eternity of light, The city of our God remains. 4. Built by the Word of His command, With His unclouded presence blest, Firm as His throne the bulwarks stand, There is our home, our hope, our rest. Used With Tune: ST. PETER (Decius)
