As Surely as I Live, God Said

Author: Nikolaus Herman, c. 1480-1561; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: LW1982 #235 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 As surely as I live, God said, I would not see the sinner dead. I want him turned from error’s ways, Repentant, living endless days. 2 To us therefore Christ gave command: "Go forth and preach in ev'ry land; Bestow on all my pard'ning grace Who will repent and mend their ways. 3 "All those whose sins you thus remit I truly pardon and acquit, And those whose sins you will retain Condemned and guilty shall remain. 4 "What you will bind, that bound shall be; What you will loose, that shall be free; To my dear Church the keys are giv'n To open, close the gates of heav'n." 5 The words which absolution give Are his who died that we might live; The minister whom Christ has sent Is but his humble instrument. 6 When ministers lay on their hands, Absolved by Christ the sinner stands; He who by grace the Word believes The purchase of his blood receives. 7 All praise to you, O Christ, shall be For absolution full and free, In which you show your richest grace; From false indulgence guard our race. 8 Praise God the Father and the Son And Holy Spirit, Three in One, As was, is now, and so shall be World without end, eternally!

Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1606-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Hymnal: LW1982 #128 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb; But lo, he now is routed, His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens-- What peace it does impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me has won. 4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, Of all their pow'r are shorn; Now I am safe from evil, And sin I laugh to scorn. Grim death with all his might Cannot my soul affright; It is a pow'rless form, Howe'er it rave and storm. 5 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er he passes through. He rends death's iron chain; He breaks through sin and pain; He shatters hell's grim thrall; I follow him through all. 6 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold, Whereon this rhyme immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there My cross has shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with Me has died Shall here be glorified."

Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with yourself my spirit fill. 4 Direct, control, suggest this day All I design or do or say That all my pow'rs with all their might In your sole glory may unite. 5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, O heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
