Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 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 Through 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. Used With Tune: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE

Lo, God to Heav'n Ascendeth

Author: Gottfried W. Sacer; Frances E. Cox Appears in 19 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Lo, God to Heav'n ascendeth! Lyrics: 1. Lo, God to Heav’n ascendeth! Throughout its regions vast With shouts triumphant blendeth the trumpet’s thrilling blast: Sing praise to Christ the Lord; sing praise with exultation, King of each heathen nation, the God of hosts adored! 2. With joy is Heav’n resounding Christ’s glad return to see; Behold the saints surrounding the Lord who set them free. Bright myriads, thronging, come; the cherub band rejoices, And loud seraphic voices all welcome Jesus home. 3. From cross to throne ascending, we follow Christ on high And know the pathway wending to mansions in the sky. Our Lord is gone before; yet here He will not leave us, And soon in Heav’n receive us and open wide the door. 4. 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. 5. 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 power is given, our joy and hope and crown.

Arrebo; Carl Döving Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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 nevermore shall die; To God the glory giving, We rise to Him on high. Tho' 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. Amen.

Author: Valentin Thilo, 1607-62; Arthur T. Russell, 1806-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 First Line: Arise, O Christian people! Lyrics: 1 Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today. Prepare to greet the Savior, Who takes your sins away. To us by grace alone The truth and light was given; The promised Lord from heaven To all the world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before him; Prepare for him the best. Cast out what would offend him, This great, this heav'nly guest. Make straight, make plain the way: The lowly valleys raising, The heights of pride abasing, His path all even lay. 3 The humble heart and lowly God raises up on high; Beneath his feet in terror The haughty soul shall lie. The heart sincere and right, That heeds God's invitation And makes true preparation -- It is the Lord's delight. 4 Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus; Turn not from me aside, And help me to receive you This blessed Adventtide. From stall and manger low Come now to dwell within me; I'll sing your praises gladly And forth your glory show.

For this, O Lord, will we Our joyous tribute bring Thee, And glad Hosannas sing Thee, And ever grateful be. Topics: Forerunners of Christ; Advent 3 Used With Tune: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE
