O Lord, how many Miseries
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #125 (1732) Lyrics: I. O Lord, how many Miseries
Assault and discompose my Peace;
The Path that leads to SION'S Gate
Is full of Thorns, and very streight.
II. How hard it is for Flesh and Blood
To seek the everlasting Good;
I know not where to turn my Face,
But, Christ! to thy redeeming Grace.
III. My Heart has never been dismay'd,
Whene'er to thee it look'd for Aid;
No Mortal yet was ever lost,
Who put in CHRIST alone his Trust.
IV. That thou art God, as well as Man,
Lord, thy redeeming Pow'r makes plain;
No greater Wonder has been heard,
Than this, that God in Flesh appear'd.
V. He sav'd us by his Death and Tomb,
From Sin, and from the Wrath to come:
My Jesu, Lord and God alone!
What Name is sweeter than thy own?
VI. No Grief can ever be so sore,
But thy Salvation cheers us more;
No Pain so raging but thy Name
Can still asswage and heal the same.
Vii. Nay, though my Flesh and Heart shou'd fail,
Thy Presence, Lord! will yet prevail;
Enjoying thee, and thy free Love,
I share the Bliss of Saints Above.
VIII. Thine would I be in Soul and Mind,
And leave Sin, Death, and Hell behind;
Nor can I better fix my Trust,
Than in the God of whom I boast.
IX. Thou never cast forsake thy Child,
That by thy Grace is reconcil'd;
Thou art the Shepherd of my soul,
That ever keeps me sound and whole.
Par the Second:
X. Thou art my Comfort and Renown,
My Treasure and eternal Crown;
No Tongue can tell, no Voice can sing
What Joy the Name of Christ doth bring.
XI. He that has Faith and Charity,
Can by Experience join with me;
I'd make this bold Assertion good,
And dare to seal it with my Blood.
XII. Were there no Joy in God for me,
'Twere better I should never be;
For he that has not CHRIST within,
Is dead in Trespasses and Sin.
XIII. My Soul's fond Bridegroom and Delight;
Thou Pearl, above all others bright,
In thee I justly more rejoice,
Than in the World's most glitt'ring Toys.
XIV. As often as I think on thee,
My Heart for Joy doth leap in me;
When e'er I fix in thee my Hope,
I find a Comfort bears me up.
XV. When in my Pain I pray and sing,
My Heart is quite another Thing;
Thy Spirit witnesses, that this
Is but the Fore-taste of thy Bliss.
XVI. Therefore while Life remains with me,
I'll bear the Cross and follow thee:
To Thee direct this Heart of mine;
Let it to Nothing else incline,
XVII. And aid me by thy mighty Grace,
With Joy to run my Christian Race;
Help me to conquer Flesh and Blood,
And make my Christian Warfare good.
XVIII. Preserve my Faith from Error free,
That I may live and die in Thee;
My Saviour, grant me my Desire,
Let me be Thine when I expire. Topics: Mystery of the Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord, how many Miseries]

Twa krew to łaski dła mnie zdrój.

Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all whom in their secret minds
Some dark delusion haunts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wanderers from Thy fold.
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,
And endless praise to Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

While we uphold thy hands with prayer.

Filled with the Spirit, fired with love.
Live to behold our large increase
And die to meet us all above.

'Take up thy cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest, 1814-77 Hymnal: Together in Song #583 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up
and brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
your Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Good Friday; Holy Week; Passion Sunday Scripture: 1 Peter 5:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU CHRIST, MEINS LEBENS LICHT

Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light
Author: M. Behm Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #584 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light,
My strength by day, my trust by night,
On earth I’m but a passing guest,
And sorely with my sins oppressed.
2 Far off I see my fatherland,
Where through Thy grace I hope to stand.
But ere I reach that paradise,
A weary way before me lies.
3 My heart sinks at the journey’s length,
My wasted flesh has little strength,
Only my soul still cries in me,
Lord, fetch me home, take me to Thee!
4 O let Thy sufferings give me power
To meet the last and darkest hour;
Thy cross the staff whereon I lean,
My couch the grave where thou hast been.
5 Since Thou hast died, the pure, the just,
I take my homeward way in trust,
The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide,
When here I may no more abide.
6 And when the last great day is come,
And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom,
Let me with joy behold the light,
And set me then upon Thy right.
7 Renew this wasted flesh of mine,
That like the sun it there may shine,
Among the angels pure and bright,
Yea, like Thyself in glorious light.
8 Ah, then I’ll have my heart’s desire,
When singing with the angels’ choir,
Among the ransomed of Thy grace,
For ever I behold Thy face! Topics: The Last Things Preparation for Death; The Last Things Preparation for Death Tune Title: [Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light]
