Ein Gesang von der christliche Beicht und Absolution

Author: Nicolaus Herrmann Hymnal: Evangelisch-Lutherisches Gesang-Buch #315 (1848) Topics: Songs of Penance, Confession and Absolution First Line: So wahr ich leb', spricht Gott, der Herr Lyrics: 1 So wahr ich leb', spricht Gott, der Herr, des Sünders Tod ich nicht begehr', sondern daß er bekehre sich, thu' Buß und lebe ewiglich. 2 Drum Christ der Herr, sein' Jünger sandt', geht hin, predigt in allem Land Vergebung der Sünd' jedermann, dem's leid ist, glaubt und will ablan. 3 Wem ihr die Sünd' vergeben werd't, soll ihr los sein auf dieser Erd', wem ihr sie b'halt't im Namen mein, dem sollen sie behalten sein. 4 Was ihr bind't, soll gebunden sein, was ihr auflös't, das soll los sein, die Schlüssel zu dem Himmelreich hiemit ich euch geb' allen gleich. 5 Wem ihr verkündigt diesen Trost, daß er durch mein Blut sei erlöst b'hält dies Zeugniß im Herzen sein, derselb' ist los von Schuld und Pein. 6 Wann uns der Priester absolvirt, sein Amt der Herr Christ durch ihn führt, und spricht uns selbst von Sünden rein, sein Werkzeug ist der Dien'r allein. 7 Und wenn die Sünd' wär noch so groß, so werden wir derselben los durch Kraft der Absolution, die hat verordnet Gottes Sohn. 8 Wem der Priester auflegt sein' Hand, dem lös't Christ auf der Sünden Band, und absolvirt ihn durch sein Blut; wer's glaubt, aus Gnad' hat solches Gut. 9 Das ist der heil'gen Schlüssel Kraft; sie bind't und wieder ledig macht, die Kirch' trägt sie an ihrer Seit', die Haus-Mutter der Dhristenheit. 10 Wem nun sein G'wissen beißt und nagt, die Sünd; ihn quält, daß er verzagt, der halt' sich zu dem Gnadenthron, zum Wort der Absolution. 11 Lob sei Dir, wahrer Gottes Sohn, für die heilig' Absolution, darin Du zeigst Dein' Gnad' und Güt', für Ablaß-Brief' Herr uns behüt'! 12 Ehr' ei Gott Vater und dem Sohn, samt heil'gem Geist in einem Thron, wie es von Anfang war all'zeit, ist jetzt und bleibt in Ewigkeit.

Lord, to You I Make Confession

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-77; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #302 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: Confession and Absolution; Confession and Absolution Lyrics: 1 Lord, to you I make confession: I have sinned and gone astray; I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way. Led by you to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at your terrors. 2 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me, Father, I will seek your face. Though your child I dare not call me, Yet receive me to your grace. Do not for my sins forsake me; Do not let your wrath o'er take me. 3 For your Son has suffered for me, Giv'n himself to rescue me, Died to save me and restore me, Reconciled and set me free. Jesus' cross alone can vanquish These dark fears and soothe this anguish. 4 Lord, on you I cast my burden-- Sink it in the depths below! Let me know your gracious pardon; Wash me, make me white as snow. Let your Spirit leave me never; Make me only yours forever. Languages: English Tune Title: HERR, ICH HABE MISSGEHANDELT

Bend down your gracious ear to me; My prayer let come before you. If you kept record of my sin And held against me what I've been, How could I stand before you? 2 Your love and grace alone avail To blot out my transgression. The best and holiest deeds must fail To break sin's dread oppression. Before you none can boasting stand, But all must fear your strict demand And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the Lord And not in my own merit; It rests upon his faithful Word To them of contrite spirit. That he is merciful and just-- This is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 [Text copyrighted] Languages: English Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOT
