Dear Christians, Let Us All Rejoice

Author: H. Brueckner; Martin Luther Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #121 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Dear Christians, let us all rejoice Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians,let us all rejoice And leave the haunts of sadness, That we, as with a single voice, My sound the note of gladness. Yea, let us sing with one accord And praise the wonders of our Lord, Who with a price hath bought us. 2 In Satan's chains I fettered lay, With naught but death before me. My sin distressed me night and day, In sin my mother bore me. While thus my sin and guilt were rife, There was no good in all my life; So fully sin enthralled me. 3 My works no merit e'er possessed, They had no pow'r to save me. My will with nothing good was blest, But prone to evil made me. 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, And, from my woes to make me free, Gave up His dearest Treasure. 5 He said to His beloved Son In accents soft and tender: 'Tis time the battle should be won; Thyself shalt Thou surrender. O brightest Jewel of My crown, Do Thou to wretched man go down, Both sin and death to conquer. 6 The Son obeyed the Father's voice, And, born of virgin mother, He of His own free will and choice Became my Friend and Brother. He hid His power from Satan well, That He the crafty foe might fell And bring hims low forever. 7 He said to me: Do not despair, My help I freely offer; Thy misery I came to share, Myself for thee I proffer. Thou shalt be Mine as I am thine, My love shall e'er thy soul entwine, The foe shall not divide us. 8 The foe will shed My precious blood Though ne'er his aim achieving; I but endure it for thy good, From death thy soul relieving. My life shall swallow death for aye, My innocence thy guilt shall pay; Thy faith in Me shall save thee. 9 To heaven I again ascend, There with the Father dwelling; To thee I strength and comfort lend, Thy sorrow thus dispelling. The Spirit I will send to thee, Who shall thy faithful Teacher be, That thou mayst truly know Me. 10 What I on earth have done and taught Shall be Thy guide in teaching; So shall My kingdom's works be wrought By thy pure life and preaching. Take heed lest men with base alloy The treasures of My truth destroy; This is My final warning. Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN

With trembling awe the chosen three

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #249 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 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!

To us salvation now has come

Author: Paul Speratus, D. D.; Dr. Henry Mills Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #249 (1908) Lyrics: 1 To us salvation now has come, God's wondrous grace revealing; Works never can avert our doom, They have no power of healing. Faith looks to God's beloved Son, Who has for us deliv'rance won, He is our great Redeemer! 2 What God's most holy precept claims No child of Adam renders; But from the throne dread vengeance flames, And speaks the curse in thunders. The flesh ne'er prompts those pure desires That 'bove all else the Law requires: Relief by Law is hopeless! 3 But all the Law must be fulfilled, Or we must sink despairing; Then came the Son—-so God had willed,-- Our human nature sharing, Who for us all the Law obeyed, And thus His Father's vengeance stayed, Which over us impended. 4 Now to the God of matchless grace, To Father, Son, and Spirit, We lift our highest songs of praise, All praise His favors merit. All He has said He will perform, And save us by His mighty arm, -- His worthy name be hallowed!

Dear Christians, one and all rejoice

Author: Richard Massie; Dr. Martin Luther Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #250 (1908) 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 has 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; Deeper and deeper still I fell; My life became 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 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 right 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 vict'ry 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.
