With God and His Mercy

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, 1816-1868 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #196 (1901) Meter: 11.11.11.6.6.11 First Line: With God and His mercy, His Spirit and Word Lyrics: 1 With God and His mercy, His Spirit and Word And loving communion at altar and board, We meet with assurance the dawn of each day: The Shepherd is with us, The Shepherd is with us, To lead and protect us and teach us the way. 2 In perilous times, amid tempests and night, A band presses on, through the gloom toward light, Though humble, and meek, and disowned by the world, They follow the Saviour, They follow the Saviour, And march on to glory, with banners unfurled. 3 While groveling worldlings with dross are content, And ever on sin and transgression are bent, I follow, victorious hosts, at your word, And march on to glory, And march on to glory, We march on to glory, our captain, the Lord. 4 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear, Though none of my kindred that emblem may wear, I joyfully follow the champions of right, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, with weapons of might. 5 The Pillar that guides us through peril and strife, The Rock that is cleft, giving waters of life, Is Christ, and His cross. By His Spirit and Word, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, our Saviour and Lord. 6 Though Satan may sift me, and sinning brings death, Yet will I hold fast, till my last dying breath, The glorious truth of the consecrate Son, Who died for the many, Who died for the many, And suffering death, our atonement has won. 7 I know that in spite of transgression and sin God's heart bears for sinners but mercy within, For Christ for mankind has full righteousness won, The One for the many, The One for the many, The One for the world standing righteous alone. 8 Yea, this is the ground for my comfort and joy, In moments when doubt seeks my faith to destroy; Whenever my body and soul be oppressed I flee to thy presence, I flee to Thy presence, And find in Thy presence protection and rest. 9 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: ACK, SALIGA STUNDER

How Blest are the Hours that Jesus Bestows

Hymnal: HOoS1901 #291 (1901) Meter: 11.11.11.6.6.11 Lyrics: 1 How blest are the hours that Jesus bestows, When wonders of grace to the spirit He shows! His Word lights the way to the heavenly goal, His Spirit is near us, His Spirit is near us, To rouse us, and teach us, and comfort our soul! 2 Lord Jesus, our Saviour, Thy Spirit us give To quicken, and strengthen, and cause us to live; Grant faith and give love, and in mercy bestow Whatever is needed, Whatever is needed, To exercise faith in our hearts here below. 3 Our hearts are so cold, yea, as hard as a stone; Such are they by nature, and Thou art alone, On earth and in heaven, the Saviour who can, A new heart creating, A new heart creating, A new heart creating, make each a new man. 4 From sorrows of earth wilt Thou now turn our mind, For days that are coming, oh, help us to find Our joy and our comfort in what Thou hast wrought; For we are Thy people, For we are Thy people, With death, wounds, and anguish so preciously bought. 5 Lord, therefore, remember in mercy and love Thy people, and grant us Thy help from above; Thy law cause to wake us, Thy grace give us cheer, And lead us Thy Spirit, And lead us Thy Spirit, So that we may know that Thy presence is near. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: ACK, SALIGA STUNDER

In Hope my Soul, Redeemed to Bliss Unending

Author: Elle Andersdotter; Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #326 (1901) Meter: 11.11.5.5.11 Lyrics: 1 In hope my soul, redeemed to bliss unending, By faith to heaven's glorious height ascending, Is mindful ever That Christ did sever The chains of death, that I might live forever. 2 With Him I have salvation's way discovered, The heritage for me He hath recovered. Though death o'ertakes me, Christ ne'er forsakes me, To everlasting life He surely wakes me. 3 More radiant there than sun e'er shone in brightness, My soul shall shine before God's throne in whiteness. My God, who knows me, In glory clothes me, As He declared when for His own He chose me. 4 Oh, may I come where strife and grief are ended, Where all Thy saints shall meet, with peace attended? Grant, Lord, Thy favor And mercy ever, And turn my sorrow into joy forever. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, keep me prepared and waking, Till from the vale of tears Thy bride Thou'rt taking To dwell in heaven, Where joy is given, And clouds of darkness are forever riven.

I Think, When I Read that Sweet Story

Author: Mrs. Jemima Luke Hymnal: HOoS1901 #341 (1901) Meter: 11.8.12.9 First Line: I think, when I read that sweet story of old Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hand had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; Full many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven." 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. 6 And oh, how I long for that glorious time, The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little children of every clime, Shall crowd to His arms and be blest! Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: I THINK, WHEN I READ THAT SWEET STORY.

Good Friday, Good Friday, Thou Beautiful Day

Hymnal: HOoS1901 #67 (1901) Meter: 11.9.11.9.11.11.9 Lyrics: 1 Good Friday, Good Friday, thou beautiful day, With peace the great battle is ended; And heaven rejoices in holy array; Through Jesus the world is befriended! Though earth may be dark, yet will heaven be light, And Jesus returns to His glory and might; the conflict on earth He has finished. 2 Good Friday, Good Friday, thou glorious day, The heavenly hosts have united Thy glory to sing, and triumphantly say By Jesus all wrongs have been righted! He suffered a shameful and sorrowful death; His pity compelling, He gave up His breath, And died in the place of the sinner. 3 O sinners, now come to keep holy the day, When Jesus for sinners was offered, And now may we faithfully love and obey Our Lord, who so patiently suffered! He offered his life to repay what we owed, And God, therefore, mercy again has bestowed; Forever He now will be gracious. 4 Ne'er suffer a day, O my heart, to pass by On which thou for Jesus not yearnest: Thy promise renew that in prayer thou will try More faithful to be and more earnest. Dear Saviour, may Thou cleanse my soul every day, And take Thou my heart; for this only I pray, Let me at Thy cross ever tarry. Amen.
