By Grace I Am An Heir Of Heaven

Author: H. Brueckner; Chr. Ludwig Scheidt Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #123 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 By grace I am an heir of heaven: Why doubt this, O my trembling heart? If what the Scriptures promise clearly Is true and firm in ev'ry part, This also must be truth divine: By grace a crown of life is thine. 2 By grace alone shall I inherit That blissful home beyond the skies. Works count for naught, the Lord incarnate Hath won for me the heav'nly prize. Salvation by His death He wrought, His grace alone my pardon bought. 3 By grace! These precious words remember When sorely by thy sins oppressed, When Satan comes to vex thy spirit, When troubled conscience sighs for rest; What reason cannot comprehend God doth to thee by grace extend. 4 By grace! This fount of our salvation As long as God is truth shall flow. What all the men of God have written, What God's own words so plainly show, What faith alone can rest upon Is grace, In Christ, God's only Son. 5 By grace! Be this in death my comfort; Despite my fears, 'tis well with me. I know my sin in all its greatness, But also Him who sets me free. My heart to naught but joy gives place, Since I am saved by grace, by grace. Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: ELBE

My Soul Has Found The Sure Foundation

Author: H. Brueckner; Joh. Andr. Rothe Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #131 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 My soul has found the sure foundation, That holds its anchor evermore; The wounds of Christ are my salvation, As planned by God in days of yore; Unmoved shall this foundation stay, Though earth and heaven pass away. 2 God would not have one soul to perish, But wills that we should live for aye; His Son, whom we as Savior cherish, Came down to earth our debt to pay; And now the Lamb for sinners slain Admission to our hearts would gain. 3 O Fount of love and mercies tender, By Jesus' blood, for sinners spilt, My wounded soul Thou whole dost render And free from ev'ry trace of guilt, Because the blood of Christ doth cry For mercy to Thy throne on high. 4 Thy mercies ever contemplating, My faith shall ne'er to doubt give way, And though in torments unabating My sins accuse me night and day, I shall approach the mercy seat And find Thy heart with love replete. 5 Be all my ways to Him commended Whose mercy is a boundless sea. To Him, until my days are ended, My troubled heart shall ever flee, And, by His love and mercy blest, Find comfort, solace, peace and rest. 6 On this foundation e'er remaining While in this transient world I dwell, And mercy every hour obtaining, I shall not fail its praise to tell, Until, in blest eternity, Unfathomed love my song shall be.

This Night A Wondrous Revelation

Author: Anna Hoppe; C. F. Nachtenhoefer Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #345 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 This night a wondrous revelation Makes known to me God’s love and grace; The Child that merits adoration Brings light to our benighted race, And though a thousand suns did shine, Still brighter were that Light divine. 2 The Sun of grace for thee is beaming; Rejoice, my soul, in Jesus’ birth! The light from yonder manger streaming Sends forth its rays o’er all the earth. It drives the night of sin away And turns our darkness into day. 3 This light, which all thy gloom can banish, The bliss of heaven glorifies; When sun and moon and star shall vanish, Its rays shall still illume the skies; Thine eyes thro' all eternity The glory of that Light shall see. 4 O Jesus, precious Sun of gladness, Fill Thou my soul with light, I pray! Dispel the gloomy night of sadness, And teach Thou me this Christmas day How I a child of light may be, Aglow with light that comes from Thee. Amen.

Here let Thy Spirit by Thy Word Perform Thy work of grace, dear Lord. 2 O let us all by faith be grounded, Lord Jesus Christ, on Thee alone; That is our midst Thy praise be sounded, Who art the Church's Corner-stone. To keep us in Thy faith and fear, Build Thee and us a temple here. 3 Accept our off'rings, we implore Thee, And bless the work we have begun; To Thee alone and to Thy glory This building consecrate, when done; Then will we hither come and raise Our hearts to Thee in thanks and praise. 4 Thro' saving faith preserve us ever In Thy pure Word and Sacrament; Be with us all, forsake us never; To serve Thee make our hearts intent; And when we die, O grant that we Be found in cov'nant grace with Thee.

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #485b (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move. 2 Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope with heart content To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; So do thine own part faithfully, And trust His word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee: God never yet forsook at need The soul that trusted Him indeed. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELBE

Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices

Author: Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #242 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I had a thousand voices To praise my God with thousand tongues! My heart, which in the Lord rejoices, Would then proclaim in grateful songs To all, wherever I might be, What great things God has done for me. 2 O forest leaves, so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air, O meadow grasses, bright and slender, O flow'rs, so wondrous sweet and fair, You live to show his praise alone; With me now make his glory known. 3 All creatures that have breath and motion, That fill the earth, the sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion; Help me to raise his praises high. My utmost pow'rs can never quite Express the wonders of his might. 4 Lord, I will tell, while I am living, Your love and grace with ev'ry breath And greet each morning with thanksgiving Until my heart is still in death, And, when at last my lips grow cold, Your praise shall in my sighs be told.

Your Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, there you took me To be henceforth your child and heir. My faithful Savior, there you let me The fruit of all your sorrows share. O Holy Spirit, comfort me When threat'ning clouds around I see. 3 My faithful God, you fail me never; Your promise surely will endure. Oh, cast me not away forever If words and deeds become impure. Have mercy when I come defiled; Forgive, lift up, restore your child. 4 All that I am and love most dearly - Receive it all, O Lord, from me. Let me confess my faith sincerely And help me your own child to be! Let nothing that I am or own Serve any will but yours alone.

Now I Have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe, 1688-1758 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #386 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds my life forever sure; 'Twas laid before the world's creation In Christ my Savior's wounds secure, Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav'n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending, Which human wisdom far transcends, Of him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends. His heart with pity still will break Whether we seek him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God has not intended; For our salvation he has yearned. For this his Son to earth descended And then again to heav'n returned; For this so patient evermore He's knocking at our heart's closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing; There is no condemnation here! For Jesus' blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While he my restless heart is stilling, May I this mercy not forget! Whatever comes my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 6 Lord, I will stand on this foundation As long as I on earth remain; This will engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain. And then, when face to face with you, I'll sing your mercy great and true. Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE (KÖNIG)
