How Blessed Is This Place, O Lord

Author: E. E. Ryden Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #513 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 How blessed is this place, O Lord, Where Thou art worshiped and adored; Our faith would here an altar raise To Thy great glory, God of praise! 2 Here let Thy sacred fire of old Descend to kindle spirits cold; And may our prayers, when here we bend, Like incense sweet to Thee ascend. 3 Here let the weary one find rest, The aching heart a comfort blest, The guilty soul a sure retreat, The sinner pardon at Thy feet. 4 Here gather us around Thy board To keep the feast with Thee, dear Lord, And when in faith our souls draw near, May we discern thy presence here. 5 And when these earthly Sabbaths cease, O may our souls depart in peace, Around Thy glorious throne to meet, And find it, Lord, a mercy-seat!

We Long for Mighty Signs of God

Author: Hermann I. Weinlick, 1937- Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #66 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church Lyrics: 1 We long for mighty signs of God— Cathedral, miracle, and sword, His power and glory written plain— So none may doubt that He is Lord. 2 But poor, in weakness, comes the Christ; His glory gone, no king we see; A servant Lord, no praise He seeks. Thus comes God’s power to such as we. 3 God’s work we cannot boldly trace, Yet even in us His Spirit flows. Our stumbling does not halt His course; Where we least think, He surely goes. 4 Not in our own strength, Lord, we move; Thy Kingdom falls not when we fall But forward presses day by day Until Thy truth is known by all.

Lyrics: 1 Blest Easter day, what joy is thine! We praise, dear Lord, Thy Name divine, For Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; No more we need to dread its gloom. 2 That tree, on which Thou offer'dst up Thy life, now bears the fruit of hope: Thy precious blood for us is shed, Now we may feed on heavenly bread. 3 We thank Thee, Jesus, that Thy hand Has freed us from sin's galling band; No more its thralldom we need fear; The year of liberty is here. 4 O Jesus Christ, God's Son elect, Our Paschal Lamb without defect, To us Thou givest strength indeed, In all our conflicts, all our need. 5 Through Thee we always shall prevail, However hell may us assail, Thou setst us free, Thy name to praise, And leadst us into heavenly ways. 6 Oh, grant, that as Thou didst arise, I too, with joy, may heavenward rise, First from my sin, to love Thy way, Then from the grave, at the last day. 7 All praise to Thee who from death's might, From carnal lust and sin's dark plight Redeemest me, and show'st how I May reach eternal life on high.

Not always on the mount may we

Author: Frederick L. Hosmer, 1840 - 1929 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #535a (1958) Hymnal Title: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Lyrics: 1 Not always on the mount may we Rapt in the heavenly vision be; The shores of thought and feeling know The Spirit’s tidal ebb and flow. 2 'Lord, it is good abiding here,' We cry, the heavenly presence near; The vision vanishes, our eyes Are lifted into vacant skies. 3 Yet hath one such exalted hour Upon the soul redeeming power, And its strength through after days We travel our appointed ways; 4 Till all the lowly vale grows bright, Transfigured in remembered light, And in untiring souls we bear The freshness of the upper air. 5 The mount for vision: but below The paths of daily duty go, And nobler life therein shall own The pattern on the mountain shown.
