We All Believe In One True God

Author: T. Clausnitzer; H. Brueckner Hymnal: ALH1930 #61 (1930) Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, By the Cherubim adored And the whole angelic host, Wrought by His almighty hand, Ever firm the world doth stand. 2 We all have faith in Jesus Christ As the Son of God and man, Who descended from His throne And His course in sorrow ran. By His blood redeemed from sin, We the crown of life shall win. 3 And we confess the Holy Ghost, By the Son and Father sent, Who upholds and comforts us When by earthly trials bent. O Thou holy Trinity, Praise forever be to Thee. Topics: The Means of Grace The Creed Languages: English Tune Title: CLAUSNITZER

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: ALH1930 #62 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire hat trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try: Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gate of death-- He enters heav'n with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And say, Behold, he prays. 6 O Thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hast trod-- Lord, teach us how to pray. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: BYEFIELD

Our Heavenly Father, Hear

Lord Jesus, Life Eternal

Author: Maskun Hemminki Hymnal: ALH1930 #64 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Life eternal, Before Thy throne I bow; To Thee I make confession, Thy grace imploring now. My heart with sin is laden, I sorrow night and day; Speak Thou the word of pardon And wash my sins away. 2 O crown me with Thy mercy While yet on earth I dwell, And let the sun of gladness The mists of gloom dispel. Blot out all my transgressions And cleanse me from my sin; My fainting spirit strengthen And make me pure within. 3 I often grow impatient When I the cross must bear, Which Thou, O Lord, hast sent me That I the crown may wear. O make my spirit humble, And help me, Lord, to see That through the vale of sorrow My way shall lead to Thee. 4 By faith unshaken help me To reach that heav'nly goal, And through Thy bitter passion Give healing to my soul. Thy Word and promise trusting, May I, when death shall come, In yonder fair dominions Find my eternal home. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: TESCHNER

Out Of The Depths I Cry To Thee

Author: Miss Winkworth; Martin Luther Hymnal: ALH1930 #65 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee; Lord, hear me, I implore Thee. Incline Thy gracious ear to me As I appear before Thee. If Thou remember each misdeed And give to each his rightful meed, Who can abide Thy presence? 2 Thy pardon, Lord, is gained through grace: It can alone avail us. Our works can ne'er our guilt efface, The strictest life must fail us. Before Thee none can boast of aught; To fear Thee we are rightly taught, On grace alone depending. 3 My hope is, therefore, in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; I rest upon His faithful word To them of contrite spirit; That He is merciful and just, This is my comfort and my trust: I wait for Him in patience. 4 And though I tarry till the night And till the morn awaken, My heart shall not mistrust His might Nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed, Wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes, His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is He, Who will at last set Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: DE PROFUNDIS

O God, Thou Righteous, Faithful Lord

Author: A. Crull; Anon. Hymnal: ALH1930 #66 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou righteous, faithful Lord, I have not kept Thy holy Word, But sinned and oft offended Thee; Now I repent--it grieveth me! 2 Thou, Father, merciful and kind, No pleasure in my death dost find, But strong desire doth in Thee burn That I should unto Thee return. 3 Since Thou, O Father, callest me, A sinner poor. I come to Thee, Relying on the Savior's blood That from His wounds most holy flowed. 4 In tender mercy let Thy grace Through Jesus' blood my sins efface; Then I, the poor lost child, will be Of all offenses rid through Thee. 5 Let me, according to Thy Word, Live henceforth unto Thee, O Lord; That I may, after time is o'er, Inherit life forevermore. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW

Cast Me Not In Wrath Away

Author: Joh. G. Albinus; H. Brueckner Hymnal: ALH1930 #67 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Cast me not in wrath away As I come before Thee. Why wilt Thou in anger slay? Spare me, I implore Thee. Let Thy grace, Lord, displace All Thy sore displeasure; Mete with mercy's measure. 2 Father, let Thy love be shown, Pardon my transgression. Nor Thy erring child disown; Make me Thy possession. Be my soul Rendered whole, With the oil of gladness, Do Thou cure my sadness. 3 In the pit who thinks of Thee? Who shall praises render? From the grave deliver me, God of mercies tender; Let my lays Sing Thy praise When in regions yonder I Thy goodness ponder. 4 Be ye gone, ye wicked foes, Nor again draw near me; God, the Healer of my woes, Now inclines to hear me; Death and hell, Fierce and fell, In your bonds of anguish I have ceased to languish. 5 Praise, O Father, be for aye Thine on earth, in heaven; Praises likewise be alway To Thee, Savior, given; Holy Dove, God of love, Thou hast heard:--I bless Thee And in praise address Thee.

By Sin Weighed Down, And Sorely Stricken

Author: H. Brueckner; Chr. Tietze Hymnal: ALH1930 #68 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: By sin weighed down and sorely stricken Lyrics: 1 By sin weighed down and sorely stricken, I stand before God's judgment throne. O God, do Thou my spirit quicken, For Thou canst help, and Thou alone. Have mercy on my soul, I pray, And wash Thou all my guilt away. 2 O Father, Thou of mercies tender, Thine humble child doth cry to Thee; Wilt Thou to me sweet comfort render, That I again may joyful be? Have mercy on my soul, I pray, And wash Thou all my guilt away. 3 My troubled soul, its sins bewailing, Can never for its guilt atone; But let Thy mercy be unfailing, That I Thy healing grace may own. Have mercy of my soul, I pray, And wash Thou all my guilt away. 4 My soul Thy pardon strongly craveth; O speak the Word it fain would hear: I lend thee grace that truly saveth, I pardon thee, I stay thy fear. Have mercy on my soul, I pray, And wash Thou all my guilt away. 5 I do not doubt my prayer is granted, The sense of comfort doth increase; I have the grace for which I panted, And so to raise this cry I cease: Have mercy on my soul, I pray, And wash Thou all my guilt away.

My Heart, Prepare To Give Account

Author: P. C. Paulsen; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: ALH1930 #69 (1930) Lyrics: 1 My heart, prepare to give account Of all thy sore transgression; To Him Who is all mercies' Fount Make thou a full confession. Recount what thou in all these years Of sin and guilt hast hoarded, And what in God's own book appears, With faithfulness recorded. 2 Soon will thy earthly course be run, No single day returning; But what thou good or ill hast done, Thy God is now discerning; When He to judgment calleth thee, Thou shalt with fear and trembling Thy sinful deeds in order see, No longer then dissembling. 3 Here thy conceit and ill desire Thou many times concealest; Thy evil lust, that burning fire, Thou nevermore revealest; Thou thinkest, This is hidden well, No soul shall ever know it. The day of judgment all shall tell, Its searching light will show it. 4 Remember, then, how swiftly went The years of grace He gave thee; What if today His call were sent, Without a chance to save thee! If thou hast still a few more days To be for death preparing, Then hasten to amend thy ways, By grace good fruitage bearing. 5 O bend thy knees, thy sins to take Before God's throne in heaven, And pray that grace for Jesus' sake To thee be freely given. Then by His power from above, By His own Holy Spirit, Thou shalt increase in faith and love, Till heaven thou inherit. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: BERGGREN

Who Will Join The Throng To Heaven?

Author: P. C. Paulsen; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: ALH1930 #70 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Who will join the throng to heaven? Come, our Savior calleth thee. Come while time to thee is given, Humbly bow to Him the knee. Turn from sin thy face away, With the world no longer stray; Greater things thy soul must treasure Than the world's vain lust and pleasure. 2 Hast thou spent thy days in chasing Phantom pleasures luring thee? Hast thou fondly been embracing Sin with all its agony? Oh, then turn to Calvary, Let the cross thy solace be, With a heart contrite and lowly Give thyself to Jesus wholly. 3 He alone can safely guide thee On the way to yonder shore, Thou art safe with Him beside thee, Who hath help for thee in store, But without Him thou shalt fail; All thy wisdom, like a tale, In the final test shall perish; Jesus only thou must cherish. 4 Come, ye Christians, storms defying, Courage take from God above, While on Him alone relying, One in faith, in hope, in love. Keep ye Jesus ever near And His holy name revere. Help the weak and erring brother, And in love serve one another. 5 It is time that we be starting, Death is swiftly drawing nigh; Time, that we should be departing For a place with Christ on high. Take His cross and start today, For we dare not risk delay; Come while time to thee is given; Who will join the throng to heaven?
