Savior, when we call, O hear us

Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #271 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Savior, when we call, O hear us; In the trying hour be near us, Lest the foe should prove too strong: To thy mercy we betake us; Never leave us, nor forsake us; Power and grace to Thee belong. 2 Other help than Thine we have not; Other help than Thine we crave not; 'Tis enough if we have this: This from every ill secures us; Every blessing this ensures us; More than life Thy favor is. 3 Keep us on Thy strength relying, In Thy name the foe defying; Till Thy coming bring us peace. O how sweet the thought, and cheering, In the day of Thine appearing Trouble shall for ever cease.

All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827–78 Hymnal: One and All Rejoice #277 (2020) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: All depends on our possessing Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God’s abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. They who trust with faith unshaken By their God are not forsaken And will keep a dauntless heart. 2 He who to this day has fed me And to many joys has led me Is and ever shall be mine. He who ever gently schools me, He who daily guides and rules me Will remain my help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope anew my heart will quicken; All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender, For on God alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I commit to Him my way. 6 If my days on earth He lengthen, God my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Topics: Trust Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

All Depends On Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #280 (1930) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing; Earthly treasures quickly wane. He whose hope on God is founded Has a wealth of joy unbounded, And His heart will firm remain. 2 He Who hitherto has fed me And to verdant pastures led me Is and ever shall be mine; He whose love has wisely schooled me, And whose hand has gently ruled me, Will not leave me now to pine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles, or regretting Things not destined to remain; I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And a joy that ne'er shall wane. 4 Well He knows what best to grant me, Things that pain or that enchant me; All events must have their day. What to do I may not tell Him, Nor to grant my wish compel Him; When He speaks, I will obey. 5 If on earth my days He lengthen, He my weary soul will strengthen In the years that now look dim; Earthly things are ever going, Like a river onward flowing; But I rest in peace on Him.

Near the Cross Was Mary Weeping

Author: H. Mills, 1786-1867 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #294 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Near the cross was Mary weeping, There her mournful station keeping, Gazing on her dying Son, There with speechless grief oppressed, Anguish-stricken, and distressed; Through her soul the sword had gone. 2 Who upon that Suff'rer gazing, Bowed in sorrow so amazing, Would not with His mother mourn? 'Twas our sins brought Him from heaven; These the cruel nails had driven; All His griefs for us were borne. 3 When no eye its pity gave us, When there was no arm to save us, He His love and pow'r displayed; By His stripes He wrought our healing; By His death, our life revealing, He for us the ransom paid. 4 Jesus, my Thy love constrain us That from sin we may refrain us, In Thy griefs may deeply grieve. Thee our best affections giving, To Thy glory ever living, May we in Thy glory live. Topics: Passion of Christ Languages: English

Author: P. C. Paulsen; J. Lassen Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #311 (1930) 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; There God's own Son, my Savior blest, Receives me as His welcome 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 around His glorious throne assembling, And there with all in love shall dwell In peace and joy 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 Proclaim 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.

Zion, to thy Savior singing

Author: Thomas Aquinas Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #311 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Zion, to thy Savior singing, To thy prince and shepherd bringing Sweetest hymns of love and praise, Thou wilt never reach the measure Of His worth, by all the treasure Of thy most ecstatic lays. 2 Of all wonders that can thrill thee, And with adoration fill thee, What than this can greater be, That Himself to thee He giveth? He that eateth ever liveth, For the Bread of life is He. 3 Fill thy lips to overflowing With sweet praise, His mercy showing Who this heavenly table spread: On this day so glad and holy, To each longing spirit lowly Giveth He the living bread. 4 Here the King hath spread His table, Whereon eyes of faith are able Christ our Passover to trace: Shadows of the law are going, Light and life and truth inflowing, Night to day is giving place. 5 Lo, this blessed food descending Heavenly love is hither sending. Hungry lips on earth to feed: So the paschal lamb was given, So the manna came from heaven, Isaac was His type indeed. 6 O good Shepherd, bread life-giving, Us, Thy grace and life receiving, Feed and shelter evermore; Thou on earth our weakness guiding, We in heaven with Thee abiding With all saints will Thee adore.
