Come, Holy Ghost, in Love

Author: Unknown; Ray Palmer, 1808-87 Hymnal: ELH1996 #11 (1996) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Person Name: Unknown Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, in love Shed on us from above Thine own bright ray. Divinely good Thou art; Thy sacred gifts impart To gladden each sad heart. O come today! 2 Come, tend'rest Friend and best, Our most delightful Guest, With soothing pow'r. Rest which the weary know, Shade mid the noontide glow, Peace when deep griefs o'erflow, Cheer us this hour. 3 Come, Light serene and still, Our inmost bosoms fill, Dwell in each breast. We know no dawn but Thine; Send forth Thy beams divine On our dark souls to shine And make us blest. 4 Exalt our low desires, Extinguish passion's fires, Heal ev'ry wound. Our stubborn spirits bend, Our icy coldness end, Our devious steps attend While heav'nward bound. 5 Come, all the faithful bless; Let all who Christ confess His praise employ. Give virtue's rich reward, Victorious death accord And, with our glorious Lord, Eternal joy. Topics: Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: ITALIAN HYMN

To the name of our salvation Laud and honor let us pay, Which for many a generation Hid in God's foreknowledge lay; But with holy exultation We may sing aloud today. 2 Jesus is the name we treasure, Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness, passing measure, Saving us from sin and hell. 3 'Tis the name for adoration; 'Tis the name of victory; 'Tis the name for meditation In this vale of misery; 'Tis the name for veneration By the citizens on high. 4 'Tis the name that whoso preacheth Speaks like music to the ear; Who in prayer this name beseecheth Sweetest comfort findeth near: Who its perfect wisdom reacheth Heav'nly joy possesseth here. 5 Jesus is the name prevailing Over ev'ry name by right; At this name, in terror wailing, Powers of hell are put to flight; God, in mercy never failing, Saves us by this name of might. 6 Therefore we in love adoring This most blessed name revere, Holy Jesus, Thee imploring So to write it in us here That hereafter, heav'nward soaring, We may sing with angels there.

Behold the Prince of Peace-- Now are the days fulfilled. Topics: God's Protection; Christmas 2 Languages: English

In Jesus I Find Rest and Peace

Author: Unknown; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Hymnal: ELH1996 #437 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.7 Person Name: Unknown Lyrics: 1 In Jesus I find rest and peace-- The world is full of sorrow; His wounds are my abiding-place; Let the unknown tomorrow Bring what it may, There I can stay, My faith finds all I need today, I will not trouble borrow. 2 Until I found that crystal spring, My way was dull and dreary; I looked for peace in many a thing; But still my soul grew weary. Unsatisfied, All things I tried, And yet my soul had not espied The fount of life so near me. 3 My soul was carnal, blind, and bound By sin, and never sought Thee, Lord Jesus, though I ever found All else no comfort brought me, No peace, no rest Within my breast; My troubled soul remained unblest, Of Thee I ne'er bethought me. 4 In pity, then, Thou cam'st to me, Thine arms to me extending; I heard Thy voice: Come unto me And rest in peace unending. Immanuel Loves thee full well, He saves thy soul from death and hell, In perils thee defending. 5 O Jesus, I must now confess The world hath but vexation And anguish, sorrow, dire distress, As is Thy declaration. In Thee is peace And sweet surcease; Thy bosom is my resting-place Where I find consolation. 6 To me the preaching of the cross Is wisdom everlasting; Thy death alone redeems my loss; On Thee my burden casting, I, in Thy name, A refuge claim From sin and death and from all shame-- Blest be Thy name, O Jesus! 7 O Jesus, may I constant be, Forever with Thee staying! O may I feel love's mastery, My ev'ry fear allaying! The dove at last Hath found sweet rest From all her weary, futile quest, Although she long went straying.

Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #484 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Unknown Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth, Present pardon, peace, and blessing While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above Freely giv'n us with salvation By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies. In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory Jesus Christ is all in all.
