Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus

Rimbach, 1871-1941 Hymnal: ELH1996 #236 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Person Name: S. von Birken, 1626-81 Lyrics: 1 Let us ever walk with Jesus, Follow His example pure, Flee the world, which would deceive us And to sin our souls allure. Ever in His footsteps treading, Body here, yet soul above, Full of faith and hope and love, Let us do the Father's bidding. Faithful Lord, abide with me; Savior, lead, I follow Thee. 2 Let us suffer here with Jesus, To His image e'er conform; Heaven's glory soon will please us, Sunshine follow on the storm. Though we sow in tears of sorrow, We shall reap with heav'nly joy; And the fears that now annoy Shall be laughter on the morrow. Christ, I suffer here with Thee; There, oh, share Thy joy with me! 3 Let us also die with Jesus. His death from the second death, From our soul's destruction, frees us, Quickens us with life's glad breath. Let us mortify, while living, Flesh and blood and die to sin; And the grave that shuts us in Shall but prove the gate to heaven. Jesus, here I die to Thee There to live eternally. 4 Let us gladly live with Jesus; Since He's risen from the dead, Death and grave must soon release us. Jesus, Thou art now our Head, We are truly Thine own members; Where Thou livest, there live we. Take and own us constantly, Faithful Friend, as Thy dear brethren. Jesus, here I live to Thee, Also there eternally. Topics: Mercy of God; Quinquagesima Languages: English Tune Title: LASSET UNS MIT JESU ZIEHEN

Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Thy suff'ring, pain, and death, That I may not perish. 2 Make me see Thy great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And Thy crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails, did wound Thee, How for man Thou diedst, O God, Who with thorns had crowned Thee. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see Thy Passion, But its cause to me make known And its termination. Ah! I also and my sin Wrought Thy deep affliction; This indeed the cause hath been Of Thy crucifixion. 4 Grant that I Thy Passion view With repentant grieving Nor Thee crucify anew By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Ev'ry sinful pleasure Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let Thy cross my fear disarm, Peace of conscience give me. Grant that I may trust in Thee And Thy holy Passion. If His Son so loveth me, God must have compassion. 6 Grant that I may willingly Bear with Thee my crosses, Learning humbleness of Thee, Peace mid pain and losses. May I give Thee love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heav'n above Sing Thy praise forever. Topics: Passion of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: JESU KREUZ, LEIDEN UND PEIN

H. von Bogatzky, 1690-1774 Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire The watchmen of the Church's youth, Who faced the Foe's envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord, let our earnest pray'r be heard, The pray'r Thy Son hath bid us pray; For lo, Thy children's hearts are stirred In ev'ry land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, "O help us, Lord! so let it be!" 3 O haste to help, ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong. Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy name. 4 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through ev'ry land be glorified Till all the heathen know its force And fill Thy churches far and wide. Wake Isreal from his sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquest of thy Word! 5 The Church's desert path restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy, And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

I love the name of Jesus, "God with us," Christ the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy Child. I long to be with Jesus Amid the heav'nly throng To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Topics: Mercy of God; Quinquagesima Languages: English

Thy love to me, O God, Not mine, O Lord to Thee, Can rid me of this dark unrest And set my spirit free. 3 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy pow'r alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break.

Our Blessed Savior Seven Times Spoke

Author: J. Böschenstain, 1472-c. 1539; F. E. Cox , 1812-97 Hymnal: ELH1996 #337 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Person Name: J. Böschenstain, 1472-c. 1539 First Line: Our blessed Savior sev'n times spoke Lyrics: 1 Our blessed Savior sev'n times spoke When on the cross our sins He took And died lest we should perish. Let us His last and dying words In our remembrance cherish. 2 "Father, forgive these men; for, lo, They truly know not what they do." So far His love extended. Forgive us, Lord, for we, too, have Through ignorance offended. 3 Now to the contrite thief He cries: "Thou, verily, in Paradise Shalt meet Me ere tomorrow." Lord, take us to Thy kingdom soon Who linger here in sorrow. 4 To weeping Mary, standing by, "Behold thy son," now hear Him cry; To John, "Behold thy mother." Provide, O Lord, for those we leave: Let each befriend the other. 5 The Savior's fourth word was "I thirst." O mighty Prince of Life, Thy thirst For us and our salvation Is truly great; do help us, then, That we escape damnation. 6 The fifth, "My God, My God, O why Forsake Me?" Hark, the awe-full cry! Lord, Thou wast here forsaken That we might be received on high; Let this hope not be shaken. 7 The sixth, when victory was won, "'Tis finished!" for Thy work was done. Grant, Lord, that, onward pressing, We may the work Thou dost impose Fulfil with Thine own blessing. 8 The last, as woe and suff'rings end, "O God, My Father, I commend Into Thy hands My spirit." Be this, dear Lord, my dying wish; O heav'nly Father, hear it. 9 Whoe'er, by sense of sin oppressed, Upon these words his thoughts will rest, He joy and hope obtaineth And through God's love and boundless grace A peaceful conscience gaineth. 10 O Jesus Christ, Thou Crucified, Who hast for our offenses died, Grant that we e'er may ponder Thy wounds, Thy cross, Thy bitter death, Both here below and yonder.
