O Jesus, Saviour Dear
Author: Johann Heermann, (1585-1647) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Saviour dear,
How shall Thy Name be praised!
Thy sacred table now
Is spread with gifts most blessed.
Within that holy cup
Is healing for my soul;
Thou art the Bread of Life,
Broken to make me whole.
2 The burden of my sins
Hast Thou in mercy taken;
Thou touchest but my heart,
And Christian graces waken.
The feeble flame of faith
Is quickened by Thy grace;
My soul to peace restored,
With Thee at hand to bless.
3 My Austere, Lord, Thou art,
The Fount of every blessing;
If Thou be in my heart,
All else am I possessing.
Be and abide with me,
A constant Eucharist,
Then death to me is life
With Thee, O Jesus Christ.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; Names and Office of Christ Bread; Names and Office of Christ Fount; Names and Office of Christ Treasure; Mystical union; Christ our Treasure Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT (MEININGEN)
O Jesus, Saviour Dear
Rise from Your Graves, Ye Dead
Author: Johann F. Starck, 1680-1756 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Rise from your graves, ye dead! Lyrics: 1. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Thus shall the call be sounded,
Which on the latter day
shall find us all astounded;
Which to the faithful flock
shall promise rare delight,
And fill the trembling hearts
of sinners with affright.
2. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Your sleep at last is over,
Ye blessèd of the Lord,
no more without shall hover.
The garments are prepared,
the crowns for you are stored,
Enter into the joy
and comfort of your Lord!
3. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Come from your earthly cover;
Ye wicked all the pangs of
hell shall now discover.
Ye once rejected Me,
I hold you nothing worth;
Wailing and gnashing teeth
shall be your lot henceforth.
4. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Lo, here are bone and tissue
Flesh, sinew, hands, eye, foot!
from earth and air they issue.
That wherewith you have served
the Lord is glorified,
That wherewith you have sinned,
consumed and cast aside.
5. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Ye faithful now shall glory
In halos like the sun,
undimmed, untransitory.
Immortal bodies with
immortal souls shall blend,
Ye shall enjoy the rest
of saints that hath no end. Used With Tune: STEADFAST Text Sources: This translation appeared in John Frederick Stark's Daily Hand-Book (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Kohler Publishing Company, 1855), pages 328-9

With loving hands Thy child,
That I may gain salvation,

Be Thou my Light, my Lot,
My Staff, my Rock, my Shield,--
O God, forsake me not!

And suffer not the might
Of sin to overcome me;

Which Thou Thyself hast wrought;
Be Thou my Strength and Power--
O God, forsake me not!
3 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, hear my supplication!
In every evil hour
Help me o’ercome temptation;
And when the Prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be Thou not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Thy mercy I’m addressing;
O Father, God of Love,
Grant me Thy heavenly blessing
To do the duty which
To me Thou didst allot,
To do what pleaseth Thee--
O God, forsake me not!
5 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Thine forever,
Grant me true faith in Thee,
Grant that I leave Thee never;
Grant me a blessed end,
When my good fight is fought,
Help me in life and death--
O God, forsake me not! Topics: Sanctification

For there, in faith adored,
We find Thy presence nearer'

Of comfort in the strife,
And joys that never cease.

For mercies freely given;
But most we long to know
The triumph-song of heaven.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.
