Good Friday, Good Friday, Thou Beautiful Day
Meter: 11.9.11.9.11.11.9 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Good Friday, Good Friday, thou beautiful day,
With peace the great battle is ended;
And heaven rejoices in holy array;
Through Jesus the world is befriended!
Though earth may be dark, yet will heaven be light,
And Jesus returns to His glory and might;
the conflict on earth He has finished.
2 Good Friday, Good Friday, thou glorious day,
The heavenly hosts have united
Thy glory to sing, and triumphantly say
By Jesus all wrongs have been righted!
He suffered a shameful and sorrowful death;
His pity compelling, He gave up His breath,
And died in the place of the sinner.
3 O sinners, now come to keep holy the day,
When Jesus for sinners was offered,
And now may we faithfully love and obey
Our Lord, who so patiently suffered!
He offered his life to repay what we owed,
And God, therefore, mercy again has bestowed;
Forever He now will be gracious.
4 Ne'er suffer a day, O my heart, to pass by
On which thou for Jesus not yearnest:
Thy promise renew that in prayer thou will try
More faithful to be and more earnest.
Dear Saviour, may Thou cleanse my soul every day,
And take Thou my heart; for this only I pray,
Let me at Thy cross ever tarry.
Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: LÅNGFREDAG, LÅNGFREDAG, DU SKÖNASTE DAG Text Sources: Hemlandssänger
Good Friday, Good Friday, Thou Beautiful Day
My Beautiful Home Is In Heaven Above
Author: Edla Poyry; Hermann H. M. Brueckner Meter: 11.9.11.9.11.11.9 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My beautiful home is in Heaven above;
I long its fair mansions to enter.
This earth with its treasures has naught that I love,
My treasure awaits me in Heaven.
There all of my sorrows shall vanish for aye,
My harassing cares shall no longer hold sway;
My course I in faith shall have finished.
2 Thro’ perilous deserts my pathway doth wind,
In valleys of sorrow I wander;
The light of the sun on my journey I find
By gathering clouds overshadowed.
My way oft grows weary, I languish in tears,
Each moment is threatened with torturing fears
When also the tempter assails me.
3 But comfort I have as I sojourn, indeed;
The Lord is my faithful companion.
My hand He has taken, me safely to lead;
A helper is He for the helpless.
If ever His help on my way I should miss,
My soul would be buried in sorrow’s abyss;
In darkness I surely would perish.
4 O wonderful blessing that Jesus is mine,
That naught of His love can deprive me!
What solace in sorrow, what comfort divine,
To know that God’s Son is my brother!
Whatever the world now before me shall lay,
I shall not esteem it, but cast it away;
My far better portion is Jesus.
5 All thanks and all glory for aye shall be Thine,
O Lord, for Thy bounteous mercy!
Do Thou but sustain me and ever be mine;
In faith let me take my departure
From all that this earth may of treasure contain,
And grant that with Thee I may ever remain,
Sustained to the end by Thy Spirit. Used With Tune: LÅNGFREDAG, LÅNGFREDAG Text Sources: Tr.: American Lutheran Hymnal by Emmanuel Poppen (Columbus, OH: Lutheran Book Concern, 1930)
