Jesus, Life And Way To Heaven

Author: Chr. Richardt Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #231 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, life and way to heaven, Thee we have our promise given And in Thee we will confide, For among all earthly voices Thine alone our heart rejoices, Be Thou hence our Strength and Guide, Be Thou hence our Strength and Guide. 2 Lead us thro' life's darksome mazes, Lift us over the thorny places, Shield us from the parching sun. Grant us strength when faint and weary, Comfort when the way is dreary, Guard us till our race is won, Guard us till our race is won. 3 May we follow Thee in meekness, Help us overcome our weakness, Melt our heart with grace and love. Let Thy name be burned within us So that naught from Thee shall win us Till Thou callest us above, Till Thou tallest us above.

Lift Up Thy Head, O Chrsitendom!

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #243 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Lift up thy head, O Christendom! Lyrics: 1 Lift up thy head, O Christendom! Behold in heav'n thy blessed home For which thy heart is yearning. There is thy Joy and soul’s Delight Who soon with pow'r and glory bright Will be for thee returning. 2 And when in ev'ry land and clime Thou shalt behold His signs sublime, The sinful world appalling, Then shalt with joy thou lift thine eyes And see Him coming in the skies, While suns and stars are falling. 3 Tho' for His day thy heart must yearn, Do not forget why His return Thy Savior is delaying, And ask Him ne'er before His hour To shake the heavens with His power And judge the lost and straying. 4 O Christendom, for Sodom pray Till sighs and prayers no more can stay The judgment day impending. Then cries the Lord: “Behold I come,” And thou shalt answer: “To Thy home I am with joy ascending.” 5 Then far and wide the trumpet calls, The dead awake, death’s kingdom falls, And God’s elect assemble. The Lord ascends His royal throne And greets His faithful as His own, While hearts in gladness tremble. Topics: Comfort and Hope Languages: English Tune Title: [Lift up thy head, O Chrsitendom]

O that we, thy truth confessing, and thy holy word possessing, Jesus may thy love adore; unto thee our voices raising, thee with all thy ransomed praising, ever and for evermore.

Author: J. Lassen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #254 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, To where my Father's house is found, Beyond death's gloomy portal, Where God's own Son, my Savior blest, Receives me as His welcomed guest Among the saints immortal. 2 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where sin and death, the grave's sad mound, Forever are forgotten; Where living fountains ever flow, And trees their fruit each month shall grow For those of God begotten. 3 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where I shall join the host renowned, Before His throne assembling, And there with all in love shall dwell In glory, which no tongue can tell, Relieved of fear and trembling. 4 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where all the saints with beauty crowned Sing to His praise and glory; Where I my problems understand, As they were solved by God's own hand, And tell the blessed story. 5 So, then, with hope we onward press Thro' sorrow, trouble, and distress, In confidence and wonder, Until by angels borne on high, With sweet relief and happy sigh, Our eyes we open yonder.

Be Not Dismayed, Thou Little Flock

Author: Johann Michael Altenburg Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #263 (1926) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock, Although the foe's fierce battle shock Loud on all sides, assail thee. Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure, Their triumph cannot long endure, Let not thy courage fail thee. 2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call, And to His hand commit thine all; Fear thou no ill impending; His Gideon shall arise for thee, God's Word and people manfully, In God's own time, defending. 3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might; Against themselves the godless fight, Themselves, not us, distressing; Shame and contempt their lot shall be; God is with us, with Him are we; To us belongs His blessing. Amen. Topics: The Church General Scripture: Judges 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: AGATHA
