Jehovah, Let Me Now Adore You
Author: Bartholomäus Crasselius, 1667-1724; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #189 (1993) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Tune Title: DIR, DIR, JEHOVAH Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, let me now adore you,
For where is there a God such, Lord, as you?
With joyful songs I come before you;
Oh, let your Spirit teach my heart anew
To praise you in his name through whom alone
Our songs can praise you, through your blessed Son.
2 O Father, draw me to my Savior
That your dear Son may draw me then to you.
Your Spirit guide my whole behavior
And rule both sense and reason in me, too,
That, Lord, your peace from me may ne'er depart
But wake sweet melodies within my heart.
3 Grant that your Spirit prompt my praises;
Then shall my singing surely please your ear.
Sweet are the sounds my heart then raises;
My prayer in truth and spirit you will hear.
Then shall your Spirit lift my heart in love
To sing these psalms to you, my God above.
4 For he can plead for me with sighings
That are not speakable by lips defiled.
He bids me pray with earnest cryings,
Bears witness that I am your precious child,
Joint heir with Christ, and thus may dare to say:
O heav'nly Father, hear me when I pray! Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost Languages: English

Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending he,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore.
2 Oh, that birth forever blessed
When the virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face
Evermore and evermore.
3 This is he whom heav'n-taught singers
Sang of old with one accord;
Whom the Scriptures of the prophets
Promised in their faithful word.
Now he shines, the long-expected;
Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore.
4 Let the heights of heav'n adore him,
Angel hosts his praises sing,
Pow'rs, dominions bow before him
And extol our God and King.
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Ev'ry voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore.
5 Christ, to you, with God the Father,
And the Spirit ceaselessly
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English

Author: William C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #83 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Title: DIX Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold,
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright,
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore your foll'wers be.
2 As with joyful steps they sped,
Savior, to your lowly bed,
There to bend the knee before
You whom heav'n and earth adore,
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek your mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At your cradle, rude and bare,
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heav'nly King.
4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds your glory hide.
5 In the heav'nly country bright
Need they no created light;
You its light, its joy, its crown,
You its sun which goes not down.
There forever may we sing
Alleluias to our King! Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Languages: English

May we give you of our best
And by deeds of kindly love
For your mercies grateful prove,
Singing thus through all our days:

Is ours to tell abroad,
The Father's everlasting love
In Christ the risen Lord.
For neighbors near and far
The seed of life is sown;
Then spread the seed
By word and deed
To make the Savior known.

Who left his home on high;
To live our human life he came,
Our human death to die.

Became the sinners' friend,
Our lot to share,
Our sin to bear,
And death's dominion end.

From cross and death and grave
His own abundant life he gives
To those he died to save.
His righteousness and peace
Declare from sea to sea;
His praises sound
The world around
For Christ has made us free.
4 Hear now the Master's word
To those who bear his name:
"So send I you; till all have heard,
Make known, declare, proclaim!"
Go forth in all the earth;
Embrace the path he trod
With Christ beside
As friend and guide
To bring good news of God. Topics: Missions; Missions Languages: English

This feast for our salvation;
It is your body and your blood,
And at your invitation
As weary souls, with sin oppressed,
We come to you for needed rest,
For comfort, and for pardon.
2 Although you did to heav'n ascend,
Where angel hosts are dwelling,
And in your presence they behold
Your glory, all excelling,
And though your people shall not see
Your glory and your majesty
Till dawns the judgment morning,
3 Yet, Savior, you are not confined
To any habitation,
But you are present ev'rywhere
And with your congregation.
Firm as a rock this truth shall stand,
Unmoved by any daring hand
Or subtle craft and cunning.
4 We eat this bread and drink this cup,
Your precious Word believing
That your true body and your blood
Our lips are here receiving.
This Word remains forever true,
And there is naught you cannot do,
For you, Lord, are almighty.
5 Though reason cannot understand,
Yet faith this truth embraces:
Your body, Lord, is ev'rywhere
At once in many places.
I leave to you how this can be;
Your Word alone suffices me;
I trust its truth unfailing.
6 Lord, I believe what you have said;
Help me when doubts assail me.
Remember that I am but dust,
And let my faith not fail me.
Your supper in this vale of tears
Refreshes me and stills my fears
And is my priceless treasure.
7 Grant that we worthily receive
Your supper, Lord, our Savior,
And, truly grieving for our sins,
May prove by our behavior
That we are thankful for your grace
And day by day may run our race,
In holiness increasing.
8 For your consoling supper, Lord,
Be praised throughout all ages!
Preserve it, for in ev'ry place
The world against it rages.
Grant that this sacrament may be
A blessed comfort unto me
When living and when dying. Topics: Holy Communion; Holy Communion Languages: English

What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;

He lives eternally to save.
He lives all-glorious in the sky;

He lives to help in time of need.

He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.

He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives, and I shall conquer death.

He lives to bring my safely there.

He lives, my Jesus, still the same.

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #420 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: DUNDEE Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He has a smiling face.
3 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
4 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy and will break
In blessing on your head. Topics: Trust; Trust Languages: English

A trusty shield and weapon;

Scowl fierce as he will,

Nor any thanks have for it;
He's by our side upon the plain
With his good gifts and Spirit.
And do what they will --
Hate, steal, hurt, or kill --
Though all may be gone,
Our victory is won;
The kingdom's ours forever! Topics: Reformation; Reformation Languages: English

Teach me highly to regard.
All else, though it first give pleasure,
Is a yoke that presses hard.
Beneath it the heart is still fretting and striving,
No true, lasting happiness ever deriving.
This one thing is needful; all others are vain --
I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain.
2 How were Mary's thoughts devoted
Her eternal joy to find
As intent each word she noted,
At her Savior's feet reclined.
How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling,
While hearing the lessons that Christ was revealing;
All earthly concerns she forgot for her Lord
And found her contentment in hearing his Word.
3 Wisdom's highest, noblest treasure,
Jesus, can be found in you.
Let me find in you my pleasure;
Make my will and actions true,
Humility there and simplicity reigning,
In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training.
If I learn from Jesus this knowledge divine,
The blessing of heavenly wisdom is mine. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Languages: English
