Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #113 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 COME, O come, Thou quickening Spirit,
True God from eternity!
Let us Thy blest grace inherit,
And our souls be filled with Thee;
Then shall spirit, life, and light
Dissipate our inner night.
2 Grant our hearts Thy heavenly treasure:
Wisdom, counsel, purity;
That in naught we may take pleasure
But in that which pleaseth Thee.
Let Thy knowledge spread and grow,
Working errors' overthrow.
3 Lead us to our soul's salvation,
Keep us in the paths of grace,
Shield us from the world's temptation
That might foil us in the race;
When we stumble, hear our call,
Work repentance for our fall.
4 Let us trust Thy witness wholly
That we children are of God,
Who rely upon Him solely,
When they pass beneath the rod;
For the Father's chastenings
Bless above all earthly things.
5 Prompt us, that we come before Him
Joyously with hope in view,
Sigh in us, when we implore Him.
Ever plead for us anew;
Then our prayer shall not be vain,
And our faith new strength shall gain.
6 If our soul for comfort languish,
And despondency grows strong,
That the heart must cry in anguish:
"O my God, my God, how long?"
Comfort then the aching breast,
Grant it courage, patience, rest.
7 Mighty Spirit of reliance,
Sure Defence in all our need!
When the Foe bids us defiance,
Bid Thy work in us God speed!
Grant us weapons for the strife,
And with victory crown our life.
8 Guard, O God, our faith forever;
Let not Satan, death or shame
Ever part us from our Saviour;
Lord, our refuge is Thy name.
Though our flesh would fain say Nay,
Be Thy Word to us still Yea.
9 And when death life's thread is rending,
Then assure us yet the more,
As the heirs of life unending,
Of the glory there in store
Which can never be expressed,
But with which we shall be blest. Topics: Pentecost Languages: English
Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit
The mystery hidden from the eyes
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #129 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 THE mystery hidden from the eyes
Of learned men and sages,
God hath revealed us from the skies,
In Scriptures holy pages,
That He alone is King above
All other gods whatever,
Great, mighty, faithful, full of love,
His people's Shield and Saviour;
One Essence, but three Persons.
2 As Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The righteous seed adore Him;
So named, so praised, He is the boast
Of all who bow before Him;
He's Abraham's and Isaac's God,
And Jacob's whom He knoweth,
The Lord of hosts, who every good,
Both night and day, bestoweth;
Who only worketh wonders.
3 The Father hath the Son begot,
First-born of every creature;
The Son took our weak flesh, but not
Our sinfulness of nature;
Both from the Father and the Son
Thy Holy Ghost proceedeth
From all eternity; yet none
In might and power exceedeth;
All equal, co-eternal.
4 Be glad, my heart, thy Portion see,
Thy priceless Pearl and Treasure!
He is thy Friend, supply will He
Thy needs with bounteous measure:
He made thee in His image, was
For thy offences smitten,
With true faith fill thee, through His grace
Doth all thy crosses sweeten
With His dear word of promise.
5 Rise, then, to Him, the Ever-blest,
And learn to know Him rightly;
Such knowledge can alone bring rest,
And make thy soul burn brightly
With the pure flame of holy love,
Which cheers thy course to heaven;
For God will show thee things above,
Which here 'tis only given
To hear of, and see darkly.
6 But woe to the ungodly race
In willful blindness living,
Rejecting God and His dear grace,
Their heart to creatures giving.
On them, alas! the hellish gates
Ere long will close forever;
For him whom God rejects and hates
God will reject and sever
From His eternal kingdom.
7 O Prince of might! Thy mercy show,
Thou God of earth and heaven;
To every sinner here below
Thy saving grace be given!
Bring back Thy sheep that go astray,
And blinded eyes enlighten,
And turn Thou everything away
That wickedly might frighten
Thine own, whose faith is feeble.
8 Grant this, that we Thy people may
All reach the heavenly portals,
And in Thy kingdom sing for aye
'Mid all the blest immortals:
That Thou, O Lord, art King alone,
Above all gods whatever,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, One,
Thy people's Shield and Saviour,
One Essence, but three Persons! Topics: Trinity Languages: English
The mystery hidden from the eyes
To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #179 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 TO Jordan came our Lord, the Christ,
To do God’s pleasure willing,
And there was by Saint John baptized,
All righteousness fulfilling;
There did He consecrate a bath
To wash away transgression,
And quench the bitterness of death
By His own blood and passion;
He would a new life give us.
2 So hear ye all, and well perceive
What God doth call Baptism,
And what a Christian should believe,
Who error shuns and schism:
That we should water use, the Lord
Declareth in His pleasure,
Not simple water, but the Word
And Spirit without measure;--
He is the true Baptizer.
3 To show us this, He hath His word
With signs and symbols given;
On Jordan’s banks was plainly heard
The Father’s voice from heaven:
"This is my well beloved Son,
In whom my soul delighteth;
Hear Him!" Yea, hear Him every one,
When He Himself inviteth;
Hear and obey His teaching!
4 In tender manhood God the Son
In Jordan's water standeth;
The Holy Ghost from heaven's throne
In dove-like form descendeth;
That thus the truth be not denied,
Nor should our faith e’er waver,
That the Three Persons all preside
At Baptism’s holy laver,
And dwell with the believer.
5 Thus Jesus His disciples sent
Go, teach ye every nation,
That, lost in sin, they must repent,
And flee from condemnation;
He that believes and is baptized
Shall thereby have salvation,
A new-born man he is in Christ,
From death free and damnation,
He shall inherit heaven.
6 Who in this mercy hath not faith,
Nor aught therein discerneth,
Is yet in sin, condemned to death
And fire that ever burneth;
His holiness avails him not,
Nor aught which he is doing;
His inborn sin brings all to naught,
And maketh sure his ruin;
Himself he cannot succor.
7 The eye of sense alone is dim,
And nothing sees but water;
Faith sees Christ Jesus, and in Him
The Lamb ordained for slaughter;
It sees the cleansing fountain, red
With the dear blood of Jesus,
Which from the sins, inherited
From fallen Adam, frees us,
And from our own misdoings. Topics: Catechism Baptism Languages: English

God who madest earth and heaven
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #287 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 GOD who madest earth and heaven,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Who the day and night hast given,
Sun and moon and starry host,
Thou whose almighty hand sustains
Earth and all that it contains:
2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render,
Who this night hast guarded me;
My omnipotent Defender,
Who from ill dost set me free:
Free from danger, anguish, woe,
Free from the infernal Foe.
3 Let the night of my transgression
With nights darkness pass away:
Jesus, into Thy possession
I resign myself to-day.
In Thy wounds I find relief
From my greatest sin and grief.
4 Grant that I may rise this morning
From the lethargy of sin:
So my soul, through Thy adorning,
Shall be glorious within;
And I at the judgment day
Shall not be a cast-away.
5 Let my life and conversation
Be directed by Thy Word;
Lord, Thy constant preservation
To Thine erring child afford.
Nowhere but alone in Thee
From all harm can I be free.
6 Wholly to Thy blest protection
I commit my heart and mind.
Mighty God! to Thy direction
Wholly I may be resigned.
Lord, my Shield, my Light divine,
O accept and own me Thine!
7 Lord, to me Thine angel sending,
Keep me from the subtle Foe;
From his craft and might defending,
Never let Thy wanderer go,
Till my final rest shall come,
And Thine angel bear me home. Topics: Morning Languages: English

Open now thy gates of beauty
Author: Benjamin Schmolk; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #51 (1890) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty,
Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul, in joyful duty
Waits for Him who answers prayer;
O how blessed is this place,
Filled with solace, light, and grace.
2 Yes, my God, I come before Thee.
Come Thou also unto me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee,
There a heaven on earth must be.
To my heart O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted,
Here Thy seed is duly sown:
Let my soul, where it is planted,
Bring forth precious sheaves alone.
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken,
Let me keep Thy gift divine,
Howsoe'er temptations thicken,
May Thy Word still o'er me shine;
As my pole-star through my life,
As my comfort in my strife.
5 Speak, O Lord, and I will hear Thee;
Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee,
While Thou dost Thy people feed;
Here of life the fountain flows;
Here is balm for all our woes. Topics: Worship Public Worship Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSHER, UNSER KÖNIG

Come to Calvary's holy mountain
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #64 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 COME to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners, ruined by the fall;
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows to you, to me, to all;
In a full perpetual tide,
Opened when our Saviour died.
2 Come in poverty and meanness,
Come defiled, without, within;
From infection and uncleanness,
From the leprosy of sin,
Wash your robes and make them white;
Ye shall walk with God in light.
3 Come in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind;
Here the guilty free remission,
Here the troubled peace, may find:
Health this fountain will restore;
He that drinks shall thirst no more.
4 He that drinks shall live forever;
'Tis a soul-renewing flood:
God is faithful; God will never
Break His covenant in blood,
Signed when our Redeemer died,
Sealed when He was glorified. Topics: Passion Languages: English

Author: Edward Caswall; Rabanus Maurus, d. 856 Hymnal: Church Book #93 (1890) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Brightness of the Father,
Life and Strength of all who live!
In the presence of the angels,
Glory to Thy name we give:
And Thy wondrous praise rehearse,
Singing in harmonious verse.

Shelter us from harm this day:
Keep us pure in flesh and spirit;
Save us from the enemy:
And vouchsafe us, by Thy grace,
In Thy paradise a place.
3 Glory to the almighty Father,
Let our voices now repeat;
Glory to the great Redeemer;
Glory to the Paraclete;
Three in one and One in Three,
Throughout all eternity. Topics: The Ministry of Angels; Easter Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
