Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Author: P. Williams, 1722-96; W. Williams, 1717-91 Hymnal: ELH1996 #262 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand. Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee. Topics: Jesus, Bread of Life; Lent 4 Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English

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 Tune Title: DA JESUS AND DES KREUZES 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.

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice, Rejoice; again I say, rejoice! 5 He all His foes shall quell, Shall all our sins destroy; And ev'ry bosomn swell With pure seraphic joy: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice, Rejoice; again I say, rejoice! 6 He all His foes shall quell, Shall all our sins destroy; And ev'ry bosomn swell With pure seraphic joy: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice, Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!

I Know of a Sleep in Jesus' Name

Author: M. B. Landstad, 1802-80 Hymnal: ELH1996 #525 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Tune Title: DEN SIGNEDE DAG Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth folds in her arms my weary frame And shelters it till the morrow. My soul is at home with God in heav'n; Her sorrows are past and over. 2 I know of a peaceful eventide; And when I am faint and weary, At times with the journey sorely tried, Through hours that are long and dreary, Then often I yearn to lay me down And sink into blissful slumber. 3 I know of a morning bright and fair When tidings of joy shall wake us, When songs from on high shall fill the air And God to His glory take us, When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of waking! 4 O that is a morning dear to me, And oft, o'er the mountains streaming, In spirit its heav'nly light I see As golden the peaks are beaming. Then sing I for joy like birds at dawn That carol in lofty lindens. 5 God's Son to our graves then takes His way, His voice hear all tribes and nations; The portals are rent that guard our clay, And moved are the sea's foundations. He calls out aloud: "Ye dead, come forth!" In glory we rise to meet Him. 6 Now opens the Father's house above, The names of the blest are given: Lord, gather us there; let none we love Be missed in the joys of heaven. Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee; We ask through our dear Redeemer. 7 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed And take me into Thy keeping And say when my spirit hence is fled, "This child is not dead, but sleeping." And leave me not, Savior, till I rise To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: Death: A Sleep; Trinity 24 Languages: English

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 Hymnal: ELH1996 #553 (1996) Tune Title: DEN STORE HVIDE FLOK Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright; With palms they stand. Who is this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame. Now gathered in the holy place, Their voices they in worship raise; Their anthems swell where God doth dwell Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they must appear! Those martyrs stand, a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above the God of love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is Host and Guest. 3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong. Topics: Saints and Martyrs Languages: English

O Love, How Deep

Author: T. á Kempis, 1380-1471; B. Webb, 1819-85 Hymnal: ELH1996 #281 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS First Line: O love, how deep, how high, how broad Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high, How passing thought the love of God, That Christ, the Son of God, should take Our mortal form for mortals' sake! 2 He sent no angel to our race, Of higher or of lower place, But wore the robe of human frame, And to this world Himself He came. 3 For us baptized, for us He bore His holy fast, and hungered sore; For us temptations sharp He knew; For us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us He prayed, for us He taught; For us His daily works He wrought; By words and signs and actions thus Still seeking not Himself, but us. 5 For us to wicked men betrayed, Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, He bore the shameful cross and death, For us gave up His dying breath. 6 For us He rose from death again; For us He went on high to reign; For us He sent His Spirit here To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 7 All glory to our Lord and God For love so deep, so high, so broad; The Trinity whom we adore Forever and forevermore.
