Speak, O Savior; I Am Listening
Author: Anna Sophia of Hesse-Darmstadt, 1638-83 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #283 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Speak, O Savior, I am list'ning Lyrics: 1 Speak, O Savior; I am list'ning,
As a servant to his lord.
Let me show respect and honor
To your holy, precious Word,
That each day, my whole life through,
I may serve and follow you.
Let your Word e'er be my pleasure
And my heart's most precious treasure.
2 Oh, what blessing to be near you
And to listen to your voice!
Let me ever love and fear you;
Let your Word still be my choice.
Many hardened sinners, Lord,
Flee in terror at your Word,
But to all who feel sin's burden
You give peace and words of pardon.
3 Lord, your words are waters living
Where I quench my thirsty needs.
Lord, your words are bread life-giving;
On your words my spirit feeds.
Lord, your words will be my light
Through death's cold and dreary night;
Yes, they are my sword prevailing
And my cup of joy unfailing.
4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me;
Let your words in me take root.
May your Spirit e'er be near me
That I bear abundant fruit.
May I daily sing your praise,
From my heart glad anthems raise,
Till my highest praise is given
In the endless joy of heaven. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

Speak, O Lord, Thy Servant Heareth
Author: George T. Rygh; Anna Sophia of Hesse-Darmstadt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #296 (1941) Lyrics: 1 Speak, O Lord, Thy servant heareth,
To Thy Word I now give heed;
Life and spirit Thy Word beareth,
All Thy Word is true indeed.
Death's dread power in me is rife;
Jesus, may Thy Word of Life
Fill my soul with love's strong fervor
That I cling to Thee forever.
2 Oh, what blessing to be near Thee
And to hearken to Thy voice!
May I ever love and fear Thee
That Thy Word may be my choice!
Oft were hardened sinners, Lord,
Struck with terror by Thy Word;
But to him who for sin grieveth
Comfort sweet and hope it giveth.
3 Lord, Thy words are waters living
Where I quench my thirsty need;
Lord, Thy words are bread life-giving,
On Thy words my Soul doth feed.
Lord, Thy words shall be my light
Thro' death's vale and dreary night;
Yea, they are my sword prevailing
And my cup of joy unfailing.
4 Precious Jesus, I beseech Thee,
May Thy words take root in me;
May this gift from heav'n enrich me
So that I bear fruit for Thee!
Take them never from my heart
Till I see Thee as Thou art,
When in heav'nly bliss and glory
I shall greet Thee and adore Thee.

Author: Theoktistus; J. M. Neale Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #308 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, name all names above,
Jesus, best and dearest,
Jesus, Fount of perfect love,
holiest, tend'rest, nearest:
Jesus, source of grace completest,
Jesus, purest, Jesus, sweetest,
Jesus, well of pow'r divine,
make me, keep me, seal me thine!
2 Thou didst call the prodigal;
thou didst pardon Mary,
thou whose words can never fall,
love can never vary,
Lord, to heal my lost condeition
give (for thou canst give) contrition;
thou canst pardon all my ill
if thou wilt; O say, "I will!"
3 Jesus, open me the gate
that the robber enter'd,
who in that most lost estate
wholly on thee ventured.
Thou whose wounds are ever pleading,
and thy Passion interceding,
from my sins, O let me rise
to a home in paradise! Topics: Biblical Characters Mary Magdalene; Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Scripture: Luke 8:2 Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

Guardian of Pure Hearts, and Hearer
Author: Johan Olof Wallin Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #313 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer,
Lord, of ev'ry faithful prayer,
In Thy courts one day is dearer
Than a thousand days elsewhere.
Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet
In Thy temple fair to meet!
There to sing away each sorrow
That from life and toil we borrow!
2 With the righteous oft it fareth
Here as if his deeds were ill;
Blight fair virtue's flow'rs impaireth,
Weeds of vice do flourish still;
Joy and fortune haste away,
Friends with friends--how short their stay!
Rachel still her children mourneth,
And her soul from comfort turneth.
3 But when here devoutly soareth
High the temple-anthem sweet,
Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth,
Hearts with holy rapture beat:
Free from earthly clouds, the soul
Presses toward a higher goal,
Takes from hope the comfort given,
Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven.
4 O my soul, on wings ascending,
Thou on Salem's mount shalt rest;
There where cherub-harps are blending
With the singing of the blest;
Let thy note of praise and prayer
To thy God precede thee there,
While e'en yet a careworn mortal,
Still without Thy Father's portal.
5 Christians, while on earth abiding,
Let us ever praise and pray,
Firmly in our God confiding,
As our fathers in their day;
Be the children's voices raised
To the God their fathers praised.
Let Thy bounty, failing never,
Be on us and all forever.
6 Bless us, Father, and protect us,
Be our souls' sure hiding-place,
Let Thy wisdom still direct us,
Light our darkness with Thy grace!
Let Thy countenance on us shine,
Fill us all with peace divine.
Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit,
Praise Him all that life inherit.
Amen.

Jesu, Joy of Our Desiring
Author: Martin Janus; Robert Seymour Bridges Hymnal: Voices United #328 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, joy of our desiring,
holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by you, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round your throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in you confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
You, forever, lead your own
in the love of joys unknown.

Let your Word to me come near;
New-born life and spirit give me,
Let each promise still my fear.
Death's dread pow'r, its inward strife,
Wars against your Word of life;
Fill me, Lord, with love's strong fervor
That I cling to you forever!
2 Oh, what blessing to be near you
And to listen to your voice;

Flee in terror at your Word,
But to me, who know my burden,
Show me now your Word of pardon!

When my thirsting spirit pleads;

On your words my spirit feeds.
Lord, your words will be my light
Through death's vale, its dreary night;

And my cup of joy unfailing!

Let your words in me take root;
Let this gift of heav'n enrich me
So that I bring gen'rous fruit:
Never take them from my heart
Till I see you as your are,
When in heav'nly bliss and glory
I will meet you and adore you! Topics: The Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

In the Temple Where Our Fathers
Author: Erik Natanael Söderberg, (b. 1869) Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #349 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In the temple where our fathers
Rendered praise to Thee, O Lord,
Now Thy flock for worship gathers,
Hung'ring for Thy precious Word,
By Thy guidance and Thy grace
Drawn unto this holy place
Where the heav'nly bread is tendered,
And true life in Christ engendered.
2 Not the peace of false assurance
In Thy house, O Father, dwells;
There the strength for our endurance
From Thy sacred altar wells.
To thy presence we draw night,
Grant us power from on high;
With Thy sword and helmet arm us,
That no worldly foes alarm us.
3 Let Thy Church, O heavenly Father,
Be to us the open way
To that temple where we gather
Round Thy throne some blessèd day.
Gentle Shepherd, as of old,
Feed us, tend us, in Thy fold,
And at last Thy flock deliver,
In Thy heaven to dwell forever.

In the Temple Where Our Fathers
Like the Golden Sun Ascending
Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #354 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Like the golden sun ascending,
Breaking through the gloom of night,
On the earth his glory spending
So that darkness takes to flight,
Thus my Jesus from the grave
And death's dismal, dreadful cave
Rose triumphant Easter morning
At the early purple dawning.
2 Thanks to Thee, O Christ victorious!
Thanks to Thee, O Lord of life!
Death hath now no power o'er us,
Thou hast conquered in the strife.
Thanks because Thou didst arise
And hast opened Paradise!
None can fully sing the glory
Of the resurrection story.
3 For my heart finds consolation
And my fainting soul grows brave
When I stand in contemplation
At Thy dark and dismal grave;
When I see where Thou didst sleep
In death's dungeon dark and deep,
Yet didst break all bands asunder,
Must I not rejoice and wonder?
4 Though I be by sin o'ertaken,
Though I lie in helplessness,
Though I be by friends forsaken
And must suffer sore distress,
Though I be despised, contemned,
And by all the world condemned,
Though the dark grave yawn before me,
Yet the light of hope shines o'er me.
5 Thou hast died for my transgression,
All my sins on Thee were laid;
Thou hast won for me salvation,
On the cross my debt was paid.
From the grave I shall arise
And shall meet Thee in the skies.
Death itself is transitory;
I shall lift my head in glory.
6 Satan's arrows all lie broke,
Death and hell have met their doom;
Christ, Thy rising is the token:
Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb.
Thou hast buried all my woe,
And my cup doth overflow;
By Thy resurrection glorious
I shall wave my palms victorious.
7 As the Son of God I know Thee,
For I see Thy sov'reign pow'r;
Sin and death shall not o'erthrow me
Even in my dying hour;
For Thy resurrection is
Surety for my heav'nly bless,
And my baptism a reflection
Of Thy death and resurrection.
8 Unto life Thou shalt arouse me
By Thy resurrection's pow'r;
Though the hideous grave shall house me,
And my flesh the worms devour;
Fire and water may destroy
My frail body, yet with joy
I shall rise as Thou hast risen
From the deep sepulchral prison.
9 Grant me grace, O blessed Savior,
And Thy Holy Spirit send
That my walk and my behavior
May be pleasing to the end;
That I may not fall again
Into death's grim pit and pain,
Whence by grace Thou hast retrieved me
And from which Thou hast relieved me.
10 For the joy Thy advent gave me,
For Thy holy, precious Word;
For Thy baptism which doth save me,
For Thy blest Communion board;
For Thy death, the bitter scorn,
For Thy resurrection morn,
Lord, I thank Thee and extol Thee,
And in heav'n I shall behold Thee.

Rest upon his people ever.

From all harm in all our ways;
Patiently, O Lord, direct us
Safely through these fleeting days.
Let your face upon us shine;
Fill us with your peace divine.

Praise him, all who life inherit! Topics: Prayer; Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER
