In grateful devotion our tribute we bring; We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee; We bless Thy holy name; glad praises we sing. 2 We worship Thee, God of our fathers; we bless Thee; Through life's storm and tempest our Guide hast Thou been; When perils o'ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us, And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win. 3 With voices united our praises we offer; To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise. Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us, To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise. Topics: Trinity 14 Languages: English Tune Title: KREMSER

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

Author: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: ELH1996 #301 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: ELH1996 #434 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs And works His sov'reign will. 2 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 3 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Topics: Trinity 7 Languages: English Tune Title: SALVATION

Cruciger, c. 1500-1535 Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven, Foretold by ancient seers, By God the Father given, In human shape appears; No sphere His light confining, No star so brightly shining As He, our Morning Star. 2 O time of God appointed, O bright and holy morn! He comes, the King anointed, The Christ, the Virgin-born, His home on earth He maketh, And man of heav'n partaketh, Of life again an heir. 3 O Lord, our hearts awaken To know and love Thee more, In faith to stand unshaken, In Spirit to adore, That we, still heav'nward hasting, Yet here Thy joy foretasting, May reap its fullness there.

In Zion Christ alone is King; In grace He rules with gentle sway, And leads her heavenward, day by day. 2 For Zion knows no other Lord, But cleaves to His unerring Word: To her suffices: Jesus saith! This is her source and rule of faith. 3 To her He gave the Pow'r of Keys, To bind and loose as He decrees; Through her declares sins forgiv'n That we may be fit heirs of heav'n. 4 Apostles, prophets, He hath sent To her with Word and Sacrament, And still sends servants of the Word To serve the Church and Christ, her Lord. 5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Adored by all the heav'nly host, We bow in Zion at Thy throne— No other God and Lord we own.

We Have a Sure Prophetic Word

Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Lyrics: 1 We have a sure prophetic Word By inspiration of the Lord; And though assailed on ev'ry hand, Jehovah's Word shall ever stand. 2 By pow'rs of empire banned and burned, By pagan pride rejected, spurned, The Word still stands the Christian's trust While haughty empires lie in dust. 3 Lo, what the Word in times of old Of future days and deeds foretold Is all fulfilled while ages roll, As traced on the prophetic scroll. 4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure, The teachings of the Word endure. Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word; His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord. Topics: Sexagesima Languages: English Tune Title: WO GOTT ZUM HAUS

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: S. Crossman, c. 1624-84 Hymnal: ELH1996 #303 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 Person Name: S. Crossman, c. 1624-84 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior’s love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. O who am I That for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from His blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men grew strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, O my Friend, My Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 In life no house, no home My Lord of earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was His home; but mine the tomb wherein He lay. 4 Here might I stay and sing; No story so divine, Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine. This is my Friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Passion of Christ Languages: English

Dach, 1605-59 Lyrics: 1 Through Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, can daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's nothing that can sever Me from the love of God, No want, no pain, whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Though thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark Thy sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap. 3 Yea, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other pow'r, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depths of deepest gloom. 4 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever, For in my Savior's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer And nevermore forsaketh His own dear child and heir.
