God gave His Word by holy men

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God gave His Word by holy men, The words dictating to their pen; That Word shall shine with glorious ray When heaven and earth have passed away. 2 It is not changeful human thought That here to darkened souls is brought, But everlasting truth and light, That shed on man their heavenly light. 3 It makes the way of faith so plain That none in darkness need remain; Who meekly choose it as their guide Shall not in doubt and gloom abide. 4 It makes the path of duty clear, That all therein may persevere; Who humbly heed its righteous way Shall not from right and virtue stray. 5 For faith and life, for thought and deed, No other rule and guide we need: When God the King proclaims His will, 'Tis meet all others should be still. 6 To this alone may we adhere, In faith and love and godly fear, And ever walking by His Word, Give glory to our Sovereign Lord.

I Am, Alone, Your God and Lord

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I am, alone, your God and Lord; All idols are to be abhorred. Trust Me, step boldly to My throne; With all your hearts love Me alone. 2 Do not My holy name disgrace, Do not My Word of truth abase. Praise only that as good and true Which I, your God, would say and do. 3 Hallow the day which God has blest, That you and all your house may rest. And put aside the work you do So that God's Word may work in you. 4 You are to honor and obey Your parents, masters, ev'ry day, Serve them each way that comes to hand; You'll then live long upon the land. 5 Curb anger, do not harm or kill, Hate not, repay not ill with ill. Be patient and of gentle mind, Convince your foe that you are kind. 6 Be faithful to your marriage vows, Your heart give only to your spouse, Keep your life pure and free fom sin, By temp'rance and self-discipline. 7 You shall not steal or cheat away What others worked for night and day, But open up a gen'rous hand To feed the poor in all the land. 8 False witness you mustnever bear, Nor with your neighbor be unfair; The cause of innocence embrace, And shield the fallen from disgrace. 9 By show of right or crafty fame, Seek not your neighbor's goods to gain; Urge spouse and workers to be true To stay and do what they should do. 10 These Ten Commandments show us all The sins our lives hold since the Fall. They also help us clearly see How pure t'ward God our life should be. Topics: Law and Gospel; Trinity 18 Used With Tune: TALLIS' CANON Text Sources: Tr. composite

Lord Jesus Christ, to thee we pray

Author: William M. Reynolds; Dr. M. Luther Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Christ, to Thee we pray, From us God's wrath Thou turn'st away, Thine agony and bitter death Redeem us from eternal wrath. 2 That we may never this forget Thy body for our food is set; And in the wine Thou giv'st Thy blood To cleanse our souls, a sacred flood. 3 Let none, impenitent and bold, This sacred feast profanely hold: He who unworthy sitteth there Shall sink to death and dark despair. 4 But praise the Father, by whose love The Son descended from above, Became the bread of life to thee, And bore thy sins upon the tree. 5 Firmly on this thou must believe; That here the sick their food receive, Which heals them from the wounds of sin, Creating heav'nly health within. 6 Such grace and mercy must be sought By those whom sorrow long hath taught; If anguish ne'er thy heart hath rent Be not thy knee there vainly bent. 7 Our Saviour saith: Come unto Me, Ye who now feel your poverty: My mercy I will freely give, Your anguished conscience I'll relieve. 8 Could'st thou unaided this obtain, Then have I shed my blood in vain; This feast was vainly spread for thee, If thou require no food from me. 9 If in thy heart this faith doth rest, Which thou hast here in words confessed, A welcome guest thou here shalt be, And Christ Himself shall banquet thee. 10 But fruits must still thy faith approve; Thy neighbor thou must truly love; That love let him from thee receive, Which here to thee thy God doth give.
