For mercy and for grace;
Oh, hear our lowly cry,
And hide not Thou Thy face.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
2 Arise, O Lord of hosts;
Be jealous for Thy name,
And drive from out our coasts
The sins that put to shame.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
3 Thy best gifts from on high
In rich abundance pour,
That we may magnify
And praise Thee more and more.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
4 The powers ordained by Thee,
With heavenly wisdom bless;
May they Thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
5 The church of Thy dear Son
Inflame with love's pure fire,
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire.
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.

Oh, let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult Thy Majesty.

And guard and bless our fatherland. Topics: TheChurch Year Day of Humiliation and Prayer; Church; Our Country; Magistrates; Missions; Peace, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: HANDEL'S 148TH PSALM

"Wake, awake, for night is flying"
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #277 (1898) Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying,"
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
"O where are ye, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Hallelujah!
With bridal care yourselves prepare
To meet the Bridegroom, who is near!"

Her heart with heavenly joy is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all-glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious,
Her Star is risen, her Light is come!
All hail, incarnate Lord,
Our crown and our reward!
Hail! Hosanna!
The joyful call we answer all,
And follow to the nuptial hall.
3 Now let all the heavens adore Thee,
And men and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne.

No ear heard such delight,
Hallelujah!
We raise the song, we swell the throng,
To praise Thee ages all along. Topics: Christ Bridegroom; Heaven; The Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: WAKE, AWAKE, FOR NIGHT IS FLYING

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #2 (1898) Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God,
Maker of the earth and heaven;
The Father, who to us in love
Hath the right of children given;
He both soul and body feedeth,
All we want He doth provide us;
He through snares and perils leadeth,
Watching that no harm betide us;
He cares for us by day and night,
All things are governed by His might.
2 And we believe in Jesus Christ,
His own Son, our Lord, possessing
An equal Godhead, throne, and might,
Thro' whom comes the Father's blessing;
Conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of Mary, Virgin-mother,
That lost man might life inherit,
Made true man, our Elder Brother,
Was crucified by sinful men,
And raised by God to life again.
3 We in the Holy Ghost believe,
Who sweet grace and comfort giveth,
And with the Father and the Son
In eternal glory liveth;

Keep in unity of spirit;
Sins are truly here forgiven
Through the blest Redeemer's merit;
All flesh shall rise again, and we
Shall live with God eternally.

As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.

To find a balm for woe,

The lost to God to bring,

And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's word shall ever stand.
2 By powers of empire banned and burned,
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.
3 Lo! what the Word in times of old
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.

This form, whereof no doubt we have

What came from dust, and turns to dust,
And from the dust again shall rise,
When the last trumpet fills the skies.
3 His soul forever lives in God,
Who grace and pardon hath bestowed,
Who through His Son redeemed him here
From bonds of death, and sin, and fear.
4 His trials and his griefs are past,
A blessed end is his at last;
Christ's yoke he bore and did His will,
And though he died, he liveth still.
5 He lives where none do mourn and weep;
And calmly shall this body sleep,
Till God shall death himself destroy,
And raise it unto glorious joy.
6 He suffered pain and grief below;
Christ heals him now from all his woe;
For him hath endless joy begun;
He shines in glory like the sun.
7 Then let us leave him to his rest,
And homeward turn, for he is blest;
And may we all our souls prepare,
That when death comes, we meet him there.

Blessed truth! His children tell!
Though He send, for plenty, want,
Though the harvest store be scant,
Yet we rest upon His love,
Seeking better things above.
2 What our Father does is well:
Shall the willful heart rebel,
If a blessing He withhold
In the field, or in the fold?
Is He not Himself to be
All our store eternally?
3 What our Father does is well:
Though He sadden hill and dell,
Upward yet our praises rise
For the strength His Word supplies.
He has called us sons of God:
Can we murmur at His rod?
4 What our Father does is well:
May the tho't within us dwell;
Though nor milk nor honey flow
In our barren Canaan now,
God can save us in our need,

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

That were a tribute far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: TheChurch Year The Passion; Christ Cross of; Christ Love of Languages: English Tune Title: WE THANK THEE, LORD JESUS CHRIST

We know not where to look for aid;
When days and nights of anxious thought
Nor help nor counsel yet have brought:
2 Then this our comfort is alone,
That we may meet before Thy throne,
And cry, O faithful God, to Thee
For rescue from our misery;

Repenting sore with bitter sighs,
And seek Thy pardon for our sin,
And respite from our griefs within.

To hear all those who cry to Thee,
Through Him whose name alone is great,
Our Saviour and our Advocate.

And all our woes before Thee lay;
For tried, afflicted, lo! we stand,
Peril and foes on every hand.
6 Ah, hide not for our sins Thy face;
Absolve us through Thy boundless grace;
Be with us in our anguish still,
Free us at last from every ill;
7 That so with all our hearts we may
Once more our glad thanksgivings pay,
And walk obedient to Thy Word,
And now and ever praise Thee, Lord.

My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus, by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 My sins, O Lord, distress me sore,
My conscience cannot slumber;
Yet, though as sands upon the shore
My sins may be in number,
I will not quail, but think of Thee,
Thy death, Thy sorrows borne for me,
And thus find strength and comfort.
3 Since Thou from death didst rise again,
In death Thou wilt not leave me;
Lord, Thy ascension soothes my pain,
No fear of death shall grieve me:
For Thou wilt have me where Thou art,
And thus with joy I can depart,
To be with Thee forever.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,

And burdened souls could find no rest,
Through Luther God deliv'rance sent
By His pure Word and Sacrament.

Christ bids us still, Be not afraid;
Though all its powers the truth assail,
The gates of hell shall not prevail.

The guardian care of Christ our King,
Who through His chosen instrument
To us hath this salvation sent.
5 O Lord, whose mercies still endure,
Preserve to us Thy Gospel pure;
Let it alone within us reign,
That Thine the glory may remain.

And sends them as He sees it meet;
When He through trials has succeeded
To make us free from all deceit,
Then cometh He all unaware

That God hath cast thee off unheard,
That he whose hopes meet no denial
Must surely be of God preferred;
