Ye Baptized People, One And All

Hymnal: ALH1930 #41 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Ye baptized people, one and all, Who know your God in heaven, Ye have received an holy call, To you Christ's name is given. Forget ye not, but ponder well, The precious gifts no tongue can tell, The blessing of baptism. 2. This washing cleanseth us from sin And lends a sacred beauty, It makes us white and pure within, Incites to love and duty, From Satan's prison sets us free, Enables us the sons to be And heirs of God, our Father. 3. Our sinful nature is renewed, The curse of God is lifted; With choicest blessings well endued, And with the Spirit gifted, We unto sin are pledged to die And by the pow'r of God on high The gates of hell can conquer. 4. Here we with Jesus Christ are clad. His righteousness receiving, Which covers what in us is bad, Our innocence achieving; His holy blood, for sinners spilt, Releases us from sin and guilt, And we with God find favor. 5. O Christians, bear this well in mind And thank the Lord sincerely For all the gifts that here you find And that you prize so dearly, When nothing else can soothe the soul, These gifts lend comfort till the goal Of life on earth appeareth.

Our Savior To The Jordan Came

Author: H. Brueckner; Martin Luther Hymnal: ALH1930 #42 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Savior to the Jordan came, The Father's will obeying, And there by John was He baptized, His work no more delaying. He there vouchsafed a cleansing breath To free from sin's possession, To rescue us from bitter death And wash away transgression, New life in us creating. 2 So hear ye all and ponder well What God Himself installeth, What He would have us all believe. What He a washing calleth. That water at the font be used, Is surely His good pleasure, But with it go His holy Word and Spirit without measure; He is the true Baptizer. 3 To show us this with ample proof, Both words and signs are given. At Jordan's brink was plainly heard The Father's voice from heaven: This is my well beloved Son, In whom my soul delighteth; O hear ye Him when ev'ryone He to Himself inviteth; Obey His will and teaching. 4 The Son of God is also here, In tender manhood bending, And we behold the Spirit, too, In dove-like form descending. Thus are we strengthened in our faith, Which nevermore should waver. That Father, Son and Holy Ghost Are present at the laver, To make our hearts their dwelling. 5 He who rejects this wondrous grace, The Scripture disbelieving, Shall have his sins abide with him, In hell his place receiving. His outward deeds avail him naught, His holiness must vanish; His inborn sin all works annuls, God such a one must banish: Himself he cannot rescue. 6 To His disciples Jesus saith: Go, teach ye every nation: Man, lost in sin, must needs repent, To flee from condemnation. Baptized and having faith in Me, He shall be saved forever; A new-born man shall he be called, Whom naught from Me can sever; My Kingdom He inherits. 7 Blind sense but water sees and asks: Pray, how can water save us? But faith the blood of Christ beholds That here in truth doth lave us. It sees this fountain colored red That here for us is flowing. To purge us from our inborn sin And, every grace bestowing, From all misdeeds to free us. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: BAPTIZEIN

O Let Thy Spirit With Us Tarry

Author: S. D. Rodholm; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: ALH1930 #43 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O let Thy spirit with us tarry, Lord Jesus, this we ask of Thee. These little ones to Thee we carry: Baptize them that Thine own they be. 2 We name them after Thee, tho' humble: O let them in Thy name arise; Nor let them fall if they should stumble, But run their course and gain the prize. 3 If long the course, O Lord, uphold them, Thine aged servants bear in mind; If short, O may Thy love enfold them, That in Thine arms they rest may find. 4 Deep in their hearts Thy name be planted, Their names be writ in Thy right hand, To them in weal and woe be granted Thy Spirit, all to understand. 5 The angels sing when babes are sleeping; May still they sing when death draws near. Both cross and crown are in Thy keeping; Lead Thou us on, we have no fear. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: RUNG

Full Of Reverence At Thy Word

Author: E. Cronenwett; B. Muenter Hymnal: ALH1930 #44 (1930) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Full of rev'rence at Thy Word Lyrics: 1. Full of rev'rence at Thy Word, Lord, I near Thy hallowed board, Mindful of Thy latest breath, And Thy sacrificial death. Mediator, Who for me Diedst from wrath to set me free, May I as Thy worthy guest By this feast of life be blest. 2. As a sinful castaway, This is all my trust and stay, That Thy blood and righteousness Robes me in a spotless dress, Fits me as a saint to meet God before the judgment seat: God is reconciled to me-- Hid, O spotless Lamb, in Thee. 3. Tho' my sins have caused me grief, This assurance gives relief; Other helpers there are none, Lord, I cleave to Thee alone; Hence I come, my Savior true, Thy remembrance to renew And to testify again To Thy love--for sinners slain. 4. May I not, to my great loss, Coldly stand beneath the cross, Unto judgment never take What Thou offeredst for my sake! Bread of life! here strengthen me By Thy life to live in Thee, And Thy blood renew my will, Thine alone, Lord, to fulfill. A-men. 5 Hold Thou ever firm in me, Till I pass from strife to Thee, This my purpose, to endure In Thy service, and keep pure; Lord, I tremble now with dread, Lest again I faltering tread Weakly into lurking sin; Still its might I feel within. 6 When in its seductive way It would lead my heart astray, Help me God, with bated breath, Look on Jesus' bitter death! While I see Thy thorn-crowned head Bow beneath God's judgment dread, Let me not through sin despise, Lamb of God, Thy sacrifice. 7 Should, alas, I err from Thee, Constant Savior, seek Thou me; Show wherein I have done wrong; In my weakness, be Thou strong. All my faults and failings bear, Keep me wholly in Thy care; And when I bewail my sin, Grant me, Lord, Thy grace again. 8 Lord, Thy wayward sheep behold, Keep me safely in Thy fold; Help me show Thy saving death In the power of living faith, And to shun each sinful joy As a poisonous alloy, That eternally above I may praise Thy matchless love!

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: ALH1930 #46 (1930) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Praise we the Lord and bless His name forever, Who, Himself the Gift and Giver, Here with His flesh and blood our souls doth nourish, That the inner man may flourish.

Lord, have mercy on us! 3 May God bestow on us His gracious blessing, That, in fervent love progressing, We, as true brethren tenderly united, Be to ev'ry good incited. Lord, have mercy on us! Lord, let not Thy Spirit forsake us, Lest some baneful discord o'er take us; Grant that Thy poor Church may see Days on peace and unity. Lord, have mercy on us!

Thy Table I Approach

Deck Thyself, My Soul, With Gladness

Author: Catherine Winkworth; J. Franck Hymnal: ALH1930 #48 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1. Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness. Come thou forth and cease repining, In the daylight's splendor shining, For the Lord of our salvation Doth regard thy lowly station. He in highest heaven reigneth, Yet to be thy Guest He deigneth. 2. Hasten as His bride, to meet Him And with loving rev'rence greet Him, Who with words of life immortal Knocketh at Thy spirit's portal. Open thou the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him: Come, in homage let me kiss Thee, That no longer I may miss Thee. 3. Ah, how hungry is my spirit For the grace I do not merit! Ah, how oft, when sorrows tire, Doth my soul this food desire! In the battle well nigh worsted, For this cup of life I thirsted, Wanting Him Who here invites me And as God with God unites me. 4. Now with joy and yet with wonder On this feast my soul doth ponder; For the mystery unbounded, Which no reason e'er hath sounded, Lets me witness at this hour, Lord, the greatness of Thy power; Quite beyond all human telling Is the pow'r within Thee dwelling. 5 All our reason cannot measure, Lord, the secret of this treasure Never growing less, though feeding All who for Thy grace are pleading With Thy flesh and blood from heaven When the bread and wine are given. Oh, these mysteries unbounded Are by God alone expounded. 6 Jesus, Sun of joy and gladness, Light to banish all my sadness, Love that gifts on me bestoweth, Fount whence all my being floweth, Here I humbly kneel before Thee And for worthiness implore Thee, To receive that bread from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 7 Thou by fervent love wast driven, Lord, to leave Thy throne in heaven, Willingly for us to languish On the cross in bitter anguish, To forego all joy and gladness And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we now in truth are drinking, While of Thee, our Savior, thinking. 8 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee: Never to my hurt invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, Thy love's unbounded treasure; When at last my senses leave me, As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

According To Thy Gracious Word

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: ALH1930 #49 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious Word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heav'n shall be; The cup, Thy precious blood, I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice, I must remember Thee. 5 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and mem'ry flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
