When All Your Mercies, O My God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #259 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 When all your mercies, O my God, My waking soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ, Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes these gifts with joy. 3 Through ev'ry passing phase of life Your goodness I'll pursue And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 4 Through all eternity to you A joyful song I'll raise, But, oh, eternity's too short To utter all your praise.

The Will of God Is Always Best

Author: Albrecht von Preussen, 1490-1568 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #435 (1993) Person Name: Albrecht von Preussen, 1490-1568 Lyrics: 1 The will of God is always best And shall be done forever. And they who trust in him are blest; He will forsake them never. He helps indeed In time of need; He chastens with forebearing. They who depend On God, their friend, Shall not be left despairing. 2 God is my comfort and my trust, My hope and life abiding, And to his counsel, wise and just, I yield, in him confiding. The very hairs, His Word declares, Upon my head he numbers. By night and day God is my stay; He never sleeps nor slumbers. 3 Lord, this I ask; oh, hear my plea -- Deny me not this favor: When Satan sorely troubles me, Then do not let me waver. Keep watch and ward, O gracious Lord; Fulfill your faithful saying: All who believe By grace receive An answer to their praying. 4 When life's brief course on earth is run And I this world am leaving, Grant me to say, "Your will be done," Your faithful Word believing. My heav'nly Friend, I now commend My soul into your keeping, O'er sin and hell And death as well Through you the vict'ry reaping.

Albinus, 1624-79 Lyrics: 1 Not in anger, mighty God, Not in anger smite us. We must perish if your rod J ustly should requite us. We are naught; Sin has brought, Lord, your wrath upon us. Yet have mercy on us! 2 Show me now a Father's love And his tender patience. Heal my wounded soul; remove These too sore temptations. I am weak; Father, speak Now of peace and gladness; Comfort me in sadness. 3 My dear Savior comes in grace; He will always hear me. I may come before his face; He is ever near me. He o'erthrows All my foes; Death and hell are vanquished, In whose bonds I languished. 4 Father, hymns to you we raise With sincere thanksgiving And the Son and Spirit praise With repentant living. Evermore We adore You whose love has stirred us And whose pity heard us. Topics: Trust; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: STRAF MICH NICHT

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-89 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #486 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-89 Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us With your lifeblood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice, And with that have freely given Blessings countless as the sand To th' unthankful and the evil With your own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you Gladly, freely, of your own. With the sunshine of your goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by you, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor you have given To our humblest charity In your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it unto me." Can it be, O gracious Master, That you need what we can do, Saying by your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings Which on ev'ry hand we view Channels are for gifts and off'rings Due by solemn right to you. Right of which we may not rob you, Debt we may not choose but pay Lest that face of love and pity Turn from us another day. 5 Lord of glory, you have bought us With your lifeblood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust you boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on you; But, oh, best of all your graces, With your love our love renew.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: CWLH1993 #50 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Cecil F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed; Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 But our eyes at last shall see him Through his own redeeming love, For that child, so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heav'n above, And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor, lowly stable With the oxen standing by Shall we see him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high. Then like stars his children crowned, All in white, his praise will sound. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Alexander, 1818-95 Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea; Day by day his voice invites us, Saying, "Christian, follow me!" 2 As the first disciples heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." 5 Jesus calls us! In your mercy, Savior, help us hear your call; Give our hearts to your obedience, Serve and love you best of all! Topics: Commitment; Commitment Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART

All be safely gathered in Ere the winter storms begin. God our maker shall provide For our wants to be supplied. Come to God's own temple, come; Raise the song of harvest-home. 2 All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto his praise to yield; Wheat and weeds together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown. First the blade and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear. Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come And shall take his harvest home, From his field shall in that day All offenses purge away, Give his angels charge at last In the fire the weeds to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In his garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come To your final harvest-home; Gather all your people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin, There, forever purified, In your garner to abide. Come with all your angels, come; Raise the glorious harvest-home. Topics: Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE’S, WINDSOR

However great our trespass, Whatever we have been, However long from mercy Our hearts have turned away, Your precious blood can wash us And make us clean today. 2 Today your gate is open, And all who enter in Shall find a Father's welcome And pardon for their sin. The past shall be forgotten, A present joy be giv'n, A future grace be promised: A glorious crown in heav'n. 3 Today our Father calls us; His Holy Spirit waits. His blessed angels gather Around the heav'nly gates. No question will be asked us How often we have come; Although we oft have wandered, It is our Father's home. 4 O all-embracing Mercy, O ever-open Door, What should we do without you When heart and eye run o'er? When all things seem against us, To drive us to despair, We know one gate is open, One ear will hear our prayer. Topics: Invitation; Invitation Languages: English Tune Title: ANTHES

Author: Ambrose, 340-397; Martin Luther; William M. Reynolds Hymnal: CWLH1993 #2 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Person Name: Ambrose, 340-397 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the nations, come; Virgin's Son, make here your home. Marvel now, O heav'n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2 Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh, Woman's offspring, pure and fresh. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the virgin undefiled, Though by all the world disowned, Yet to be in heav'n enthroned! 4 From the Father's throne he came And ascended to the same, Captive leading death and hell -- High the song of triumph swell! 5 Praise to God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally.
