Christ is near With His cheer; Never will He leave me. Who can rob me of the heaven That God's Son For my own To my faith hath given? 2 Though a heavy cross I'm bearing And my heart Feels the smart, Shall I be despairing? God, my Helper, who doth send it, Well doth know All my woe And how best to end it. 3 God oft gives me days of gladness; Shall I grieve If He give Seasons, too, of sadness? God is good and tempers ever All my ill, And He will Wholly leave me never. 4 Hopeful, cheerful, and undaunted Ev'rywhere They appear Who in Christ are planted. Death itself cannot appal them, They rejoice When the voice Of their Lord doth call them. 5 Death cannot destroy forever; From our fears, Cares, and tears It will us deliver. It will close life's mournful story, Make a way That we may Enter heav'nly glory. 6 What is all this life possesses? But a hand Full of sand That the heart distresses. Noble gifts that pall me never Christ, our Lord, Will accord To His saints forever. 7 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to Thee. Thou art mine; I was Thine, Even e'er I knew Thee. I am Thine, for Thou hast bought me; Lost I stood, But Thy blood Free salvation brought me. 8 Thou art mine; I love and own Thee. Light of Joy, Ne'er shall I From my heart dethrone Thee. Savior, let me soon behold Thee Face to face; May Thy grace Evermore enfold me! Topics: Cross and Comfort; Easter 4 Used With Tune: WARUM SOLLT ICH MICH DEN GRÄMEN Text Sources: Tr. composite

All My Heart with Joy Is Springing

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Benjamin H. Kennedy Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All my heart with joy is springing, While in air everywhere Angel choirs are singing. Hear them to the shepherds telling: Christ is born! On this morn God with man is dwelling. 2. To this lower world descendeth, From above, He whose love All our sorrows endeth. He who breath and being gave us, Quits the skies, lives and dies In our flesh to save us. 3. Christ our Lamb so meek and loving Dries our tears, calms our fears, All our sins removing; Christ our Lamb, who suffers with us; He can quell death and hell, And to peace restore us. 4. Hark, from yon dark manger lowly, Breezes soft seem to waft Gentle words and holy: Sigh no more, away with sadness Brethren dear; I am here, Bringing hope and gladness. 5. Come ye now, and kneel before Him; Mortals all, great and small, Worship and adore Him: Love your King, whose love invites you: Lo, His star from afar To His dwelling lights you. 6. Ye, whom galling want oppresses Here ye find comfort kind, Balm for your distresses: Noblest treasures here are given; Riches true wait for you Poor of Christ, in Heaven. 7. Ye who strive with fierce temptation, Sorrow-stung, conscience-wrung, Here is consolation: For the woes which men inherit Christ can feel, Christ will heal Every wounded spirit. 8. Kind Redeemer, knit Thee to us; Quelling sin, reign within, With Thy grace renew us: Make us Thine by true repentance; Let us hear, free from fear, Lord, Thy final sentence. 9. Ours be Thy pure love, O Savior, Ours Thy faith, strong in death, Ours Thy meek behavior; Here let us, on Thee depending, In Thee die, with Thee fly To the bliss unending.

Why Should I Repine In Sadness?

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Why should I repine in sadness? Left alone, still I own Christ, the Sun of gladness. Nor am I deprived of heaven, Which the Lord, my reward, To my faith has given. 2 What though earthly cares o'ertake me, Pain and loss be my cross? He will not forsake me. Sure relief from Him obtaining, I shall see darkness flee And the shadows waning. 3 From a thousand ills that grieve us In this life full of strife Death can but relieve us. For it closeth sorrow's portal Evermore, and its door Leads to joys immortal. 4 What is all this life containeth But a hand full of sand? Earthly treasure waneth. Nobler gifts beyond are waiting, While my Lord will award Pleasure unabating. 5 Lord, my Joy-spring, flowing ever, I am Thine, Thou art mine; Naught our hearts shall sever. Thou for me Thy life didst offer, Thou alone now dost own All I have to proffer. 6 Thou art mine, by faith own Thee, Nor will I, Light of joy. From my heart dethrone Thee. Grant that I Thy face beholding, Ever may with Thee stay, Blest in love's enfolding. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: LÜNEBURG
