The Lord ascendeth up on high
Author: A. T. Russell; W. W. How Hymnal: The Bach Chorale Book #37 (1922) Hymnal Title: The Bach Chorale Book Languages: English Tune Title: [The Lord ascendeth up on high]
The Lord ascendeth up on high
Oh Wouldst Thou In Thy Glory Come
Author: August H. Francke; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11650 Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Oh wouldst Thou in Thy glory come,
As Thou, Lord, hast foretold it!
I count the moment’s weary sum
Until we may behold it;
With burning lamp, the Church, Thy bride,
Is waiting for the holy tide
When Thou, Lord, wilt unfold it.
2 Yet I would leave it to Thy choice,
The hour when we shall meet Thee!
Though Thou dost love that heart and voice
Should daily thus entreat Thee,
And henceforth all my course should be
Still looking on and up to Thee,
With heart prepared to greet Thee.
3 I joy that from Thy love divine
No power my soul can sever;
That I may dare to call Thee mine,
My Lord, my friend, for ever!
That I, O Prince of Life, shall be
Made wholly one in Heaven with Thee,
In life that endeth never.
4 And therefore do my thanks o’erflow
That one more year is ended,
And of this time, so poor, so slow,
Another step ascended;
And with a heart that may not wait
I hasten towards the golden gate
Where long my hopes have tended.
5 And when the wearied hands give way,
And wearied knees are failing,
Then make Thy mighty arm my stay,
Though faith and hope seem quailing;
That so my heart drink in new strength,
And fear no more the journey’s length,
O’er doubt and pain prevailing.
6 Then on, my soul, with fearless faith,
Let naught to terror move thee,
Nor list what earthly pleasure saith,
When she would lure and prove thee;
The eagles’ wings of love and prayer
Will bear thee through life’s toil and care
To Him who still doth love thee.

Oh Wouldst Thou In Thy Glory Come
O Lord, Our Father, Thanks to Thee
Author: August Crull; Cyriacus Schneegass Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #124 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, our Father, thanks to Thee
In this new year we render,
For ev'ry evil had to flee
Before Thee, our Defender.
Our life was nourished, we were fed
With rich supplies of daily bread,
And peace reigned in our borders.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, our thanks to Thee
In this new year we render;
Thy reign hath kept Thy people free,
Hath shown Thy mercies tender.
Thou hast redeemed us with Thy blood,
Thou art our Joy, our only Good,
In life and death our Savior.
3 Lord Holy Ghost, our thanks to Thee
In this new year we render,
For Thou hast led our eyes to see
Thy truth in all its splendor
And thus enkindled from above
Within our hearts true faith and love
And other Christian virtues.
4 Our faithful God, we cry to Thee:
Still bless us with Thy favor,
Blot out all our iniquity,
And hide our sins forever.
Grant us a happy, good new year
And, when the hour of death draws near,
A peaceful, blest departure.

On Christ's Ascension I Now Build

On Christ's Ascension I Now Build
If Thy Beloved Son, O God
Author: Johann Heermann; Unknown Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #375 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 If Thy beloved Son, O God,
Had not to earth descended
And in our mortal flesh and blood
Had not sin's power ended,
Then this poor, wretched soul of mine
In hell eternally would pine
Because of its transgression.
2 But now I find sweet peace and rest,
Despair no more reigns o'er me;
No more am I by sin opprest,
For Christ has borne sin for me.
Upon the cross for me He died
That, reconciled, I might abide
With Thee, my God, forever.
3 I trust in Him with all my heart;
Now all my sorrow ceases;
His words abiding peace impart,
His blood from guilt releases.
Free grace thro' Him I now obtain;
He washes me from ev'ry stain,
And pure I stand before Him.
4 All righteousness by works is vain;
The Law brings condemnation;
True righteousness by faith I gain;
Christ's work is my salvation.
His death, that perfect sacrifice,
Has paid the all-sufficient price;
In Him my hope is anchored.
5 My guilt, O Father, Thou hast laid
On Christ, Thy Son, my Savior.
Lord Jesus, Thou my debt hast paid
And gained for me God's favor.
O Holy Ghost, Thou Fount of grace,
The good in me to Thee I trace;
In faith do Thou preserve me.
Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Scripture: Galatians 2:16 Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH
If Thy Beloved Son, O God
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Richard Massie; Martin Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #387 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnal First Line: Dear Christians, one and all rejoice Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice,
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o’er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Yea, deep and deeper still I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My own good works availed me naught,
No merit they attaining;
Free will against God’s judgment fought,
Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left naught but death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
4 But God beheld my wretched state
Before the world’s foundation,
And, mindful of His mercies great,
He planned my soul’s salvation.
A father’s heart He turned to me,
Sought my redemption fervently:
He gave His dearest Treasure.
5 He spoke to His beloved Son:
’Tis time to have compassion.
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him that he
May live with Thee forever.
6 The Son obeyed His Father’s will,
Was born of virgin mother,
And God’s good pleasure to fulfill,
He came to be my Brother.
No garb of pomp or power He wore,
A servant’s form, like mine, He bore,
To lead the devil captive.
7 To me He spake: Hold fast to Me,
I am thy Rock and Castle;
Thy Ransom I Myself will be,
For thee I strive and wrestle;
For I am with thee, I am thine,
And evermore thou shalt be Mine:
The Foe shall not divide us.
8 The Foe shall shed My precious blood,
Me of My life bereaving.
All this I suffer for thy good;
Be steadfast and believing.
Life shall from death the victory win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin;
So art Thou blest forever.
9 Now to My Father I depart,
The Holy Spirit sending
And, heavenly wisdom to impart,
My help to thee extending.
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow Me,
And in all truth shall guide thee.
10 What I have done and taught, teach thou,
My ways forsake thou never;
So shall My kingdom flourish now
And God be praised forever.
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The heavenly treasure should destroy;
This counsel I bequeath thee.
Amen.

Author: C. Guenther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #13 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 With joyful heart your praises bring
To God, the fount of blessing;
His everlasting goodness sing,
His holy name confessing;
Our God let all creation bless;
He is our aid in all distress:
O bless His Name forever.
2 Praise God, who to the cross and grave
Hath sent His Son from heaven;
His death that did the guilty save,
Eternal life hath given.
He hath redeemed our souls from hell;
Now peace for God with men doth dwell:
O bless His Name forever!
3 Praise God, who by His Spirit's light
To faith our souls awaketh:
Our souls with gifts of grace and might,
He strong and steadfast maketh.
His Word doth light our heavenward way;
His grace inclines us to obey:
O bless His Name forever!
4 Ye mighty seraphim, your praise
Still to the Lord be bringing,

With joyful heart your praises bring
With trembling awe the chosen three
Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #249 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three
The holy mount ascended,
Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy,
They saw the vision splendid--
Their Lord arrayed in living light,
And on His left hand and His right,
By glorious saints attended.
2 O vision bright, too bright to tell,
The joys of heaven unveiling!
How precious on those hearts it fell,
When earthly hopes were failing;
When, saints no more on either side,
Between the thieves the Savior died
'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing!
3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief
Of future triumph telling,
Gilding with hope our night of grief,
Our clouds of fear dispelling.
If the dim foretaste was so bright,
O what shall be the dazzling light
Of Thine eternal dwelling! Topics: The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Tune Title: [With trembling awe the chosen three]
With trembling awe the chosen three
Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice
Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #526 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice,
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the victory won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o’er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Deeper and deeper still I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My good works so imperfect were,
They had no power to aid me;
My will God's judgments could not bear,
Yea, prone to evil made me;
Grief drove me to despair, and I
Had nothing left me but to die;
To hell I fast was sinking.
4 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul’s salvation.
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
5 He spoke to His beloved Son:
’Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of my crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever.
6 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother;
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the Devil captive.
7 He sweetly said, Hold fast by me,
I am thy rock and castle;
Thy ransom I myself will be,
For thee I strive and wrestle;
For I am with thee, I am thine,
And evermore thou shalt be mine,
The foe shall not divide us.
8 The Foe shall shed My precious blood,
Me of my life bereaving;
All this I suffer for thy good,
Be steadfast and believing:
Life shall from death the victory win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin,
So art thou blest forever.
9 Now to My Father I depart,
From earth to heaven ascending,
Thence heavenly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending:
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow me,
And to the truth conduct thee.
10 What I have done and taught, teach thou,
My ways forsake thou never;
So shall my kingdom flourish now,
And God be praised forever:
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The heavenly treasure should destroy;
This counsel I bequeath thee. Topics: Various Occasions Reformation Day; Various Occassions Reformation Day; Salvation Tune Title: [Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice]

The Lord ascendeth up on high

Lo, he returns, our glorious Head,
To his eternal dwelling.

O day of exultation!

For his so great salvation:
O earth, adore thy glorious King,
His rising, his ascension sing
With grateful adoration.

With songs for ever blended,
All praise to Christ our King be given,
Who hath to heaven ascended:

The God of heaven's resplendent host,
In bright array extended. Topics: The Christian Year Ascensiontide Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH
