My Inmost Heart Now Raises

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Nigidius, c. 1588 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My inmost heart now raises In this fair morning hour A song of thankful praises To Thine almighty pow'r, O God, upon Thy throne. To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee Thro' Christ, Thine only Son. 2 For Thou from me hast warded All perils of the night; From ev'ry harm hast guarded My soul till morning light. To Thee I humbly cry, O Savior, have compassion And pardon my transgression; Have mercy, Lord most high! 3 And shield me from all evil, O gracious God, this day, From sin, and from the devil, From shame and from dismay, From fire's consuming breath, From water's devastation, From need and consternation, From evil sudden death. 4 Let not Thine angel leave me While here on earth I stay Lest Satan's arts deceive me And lead my soul astray. Then keep Thine angel near At night and each new morrow Lest soul and body sorrow And falt'ring cost me dear. 5 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means, and ends! To God, forever blest, Will I with mine confide me, And willing let Him guide me As seemeth to Him best. 6 Amen I say, not fearing That God rejects my prayer; I doubt not He is hearing And granting me His care. Thus I go on my way And do not look behind me, But ply the task assigned me; God's help shall be my stay. Amen.

From God shall naught divide me

Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From God shall naught divide me, For He is true for aye, And on my path will guide me, Who else should often stray; His ever-bounteous hand By night and day is heedful, And gives me what is needful, Where'er I go or stand. 2 When man's help and affection Shall unavailing prove, God grants me His protection, And proves His power and love; He helps me in my need, Delivers me from evil, From sin, and death, and Devil, He is my Friend indeed. 3 If sorrow comes, He sent it, In Him I put my trust; I never shall repent it, For He is true and just, And endeth every ill; My life and soul I render, To God, my strong Defender, Let Him do as He will. 4 Whate'er shall be His pleasure Is surely best for me; He gave His dearest Treasure, That our weak hearts may see How good His will is toward us; And in His Son He gave us Whate'er could bless and save us; Praise Him who loveth thus! 5 O praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; O blest the hour whenever Our thoughts to Him can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is but wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. 6 The world away is passing With all its pomp and pride, All we have been amassing No longer may abide: But in our earthly bed, When safely we are sleeping, God hath us in His keeping, To wake us from the dead. 7 Our soul shall never perish, But in yon paradise The joys of heaven shall cherish; Our body shall arise Pure, holy, new-born, free From every sin and evil; The tempting of the Devil We then no more shall see. 8 Then, though on earth I suffer Much trial, well I know I merit ways still rougher, And 'tis to heaven I go; For Christ I know and love, To Him I now am hasting, And gladness everlasting With Him my heart shall prove. 9 Such is His will that made us, The Father seeks our good; The Son hath grace to rid us, And saves us by His blood; His Spirit rules our ways, Through faith in us abiding, To heaven our footsteps guiding; To Him be thanks and praise!

Upon The Cross Down-Lying

Author: C. V. Pilcher; Hallgrim Petursson, 1614-1674 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross down-lying, The Lord was crucified; In hate, kind love defying, Their task the soldiers plied: His limbs they stretched amain, The sacred hands outbending; His feet the nails were rending: Dread was that awful pain. 2 Toward Thy hands upgazing I whisper evermore, This agony amazing For me, for me He bore. He only thus could right My hands' misdeeds appalling; Cleansed by His blood down falling, Behold, my sins are white. 3 My feet too oft went straying Down luring paths of sin; Thy feet, close nailed, are paying This price God's grace to win. Henceforward let me cease To sing Thy praises never: Christ, guide my feet forever Into the way of peace. Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: THOMISSÖN

Bright myriads, thronging, come; The cherub band rejoices, And loud seraphic voices All welcome Jesus home. 3 Our place he is preparing; To heav'n we, too, shall rise, With him his glory sharing, Be where our Treasure lies. Bestir thyself, my soul! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let thy hope be centered; Press onward toward the goal. 4 Let all our thoughts be winging To where thou didst ascend, And let our hearts be singing: "We seek thee, Christ, our Friend, Thee, God's exalted Son, Our Life, and Way to heaven, To whom all pow'r is given, Our Joy and Hope and Crown."

Our Savior leads the way; Yet he would not bereave us, A well-marked path would leave us, Prepares our passageway. 4 Our minds are heavenward tending, Where he prepares our place; Our course on earth is ending, There to adore his grace. Bestir your heart and soul! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let your hope be centered; There run to reach your goal! 5 Let all our thoughts be winging, With thee to heaven ascend; Let all our hearts be singing: "We seek thee, Savior, Friend, Thee, God's anointed Son, Our Life and Way to heaven, To whom all power is given, Our Joy and Hope and Crown."

Author: A. C. Arrebo Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing with exultation, Sing to the Lord, rejoice! And in His congregation Shout with triumphant voice! For, lo, at God's right hand Is Christ in glory seated; With death and hell defeated As victor He doth stand. 2 Since Christ, our Lord, is living We never more shall die; To God the glory giving We rise to Him on high; Though chastened we may be, And to our graves be taken, We unto life shall waken And live eternally. 3 Christ is the sure foundation The builders did reject, But He for our salvation Is precious and elect, And made the cornerstone, On which the church is founded, This marvel now is sounded The work of God alone. 4 To Thee, O Christ, be glory, Who camest in His name! Thy people sing the story Thy praises to proclaim; We thank Thee and adore, O Christ, Our Lord and Savior, Thy grace and boundless favor Stand fast forevermore.
