There is a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Concordia #110 (1918) First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea: There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. 2 There is no place where earth’s sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.

Oh, What Praises Shall We Render

Author: John Burton, Jr. Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E84 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Oh, what praises shall we render To the Lord who reigns above, For His mercies, constant tender, For His condescending love! Tho' we often have offended, And transgressed His holy will, Still has He our souls befriended; We may call Him Father still. 2 Heav'nly Father, Thou hast taught us Thus to seek Thee in our youth; Hither to Thy grace hath bro't us, Lead us onward in Thy truth. We are weak, do Thou uphold us, And from ev'ry snare defend; Let Thy mighty arms enfold us, Save us, keep us, to the end. 3 Oh, our Father, great and glorious! Draw our youthful hearts to Thee; Let Thy grace be there victorious, Let Thy love our portion be. May we know Thy great salvation, Serve and love Thee all our days; Then in heav'n, Thy habitation, Join to sing Thine endless praise.

Who shall ope for us the portals

Author: Rev. P. A. Peter Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #42 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Who shall ope for us the portals Of the new approaching year? Who shall guide us, who protect us From all danger, harm, and fear? Who shall give us strength and courage, Patience, hope, and wisdom too, That we may, as cheerful pilgrims, Still our journey here pursue? 2 There's but One can ope the portals Of the year we enter on; There's but One can lead us safely On the way that we must run. Who is this so great and mighty, Who is this our strength and shield? Has He ever spoken to us, And Himself to us revealed? 3 Yes, His precious Word reveals Him, Tells us of His boundless love, Of that mercy and compassion Which has brought Him from above. And His Name?--O yes! 'tis precious-- Jesus, Savior, Brother, Friend-- He shall guide us, guard and keep us, Till our journey here shall end.

Hallelujah, praise Jehovah

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #53 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. Put no confidence in princes, Nor for help on man depend; He shall die, to dust returning, And his purposes shall end. 2 Happy is the man that chooses Israel's God to be his aid; He is blessed whose hope of blessing On the Lord his God is stayed. Heav'n and earth the Lord created, Seas and all that they contain; He delivers from oppression, Righteousness he will maintain. 3 Food he daily gives the hungry, Sets the mourning pris'ner free, Raises those bowed down with anguish, Makes the sightless eyes to see. Well Jehovah loves the righteous, And the stranger he befriends, Helps the fatherless and widow, Judgment on the wicked sends. 4 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. Over all God reigns for ever, Through all ages he is King; Unto him, thy God, O Zion, Joyful hallelujahs sing. Amen.

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #69 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee For the bliss thy love bestows, For the pard'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wand'rer far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away: Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stain'd cross appear. 3 Praise thy Saviour God that drew thee To that cross, new life to give, Held a blood-sealed pardon to thee, Bade thee look to him and live: Praise the grace whose threats alarmed thee, Roused thee from thy fatal ease, Praise the grace whose promise warm'd thee, Praise the grace that whispered peace. 4 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant's pray'r to bless: Let thy love, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise, And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise.

Say, my soul, what preparation

Author: Carl Johann Philipp Spitta, D. D.; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #87 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Say, my soul, what preparation Makest thou for this high day, When the God of thy salvation Opened through the tomb a way? Dwellest thou with pure affection On this proof of pow'r and love? Doth thy Savior's resurrection Raise thy thoughts to things above? 2 Hast thou, borne on faith's strong pinion, Risen with the risen Lord? And, released from sin's dominion, Into purer regions soared? Or art thou, in spite of warning, Dead in trespasses and sin? Hath to thee the purple morning No true Easter ushered in? 3 Let no precious time be wasted, To new life arise at length: He who death for thee hath tasted, For new life will give thee strength; In Him rise, at once bestir thee, Still pass on and persevere, Let no weariness deter thee, He who woke thee still is near. 4 See! thy Lord Himself is risen, That thou mightest also rise, And emerge from sin's dark prison To new life and open skies. Come to Him who can unbind thee, And reverse thy awful doom; Come to Him, and leave behind thee Thy old life--an empty tomb!
