O God, If Thy Beloved Son
Author: H. Brueckner; Joh. Heermann Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, if Thy beloved Son
Had not to earth descended,
Nor by His death salvation won,
My woe would not be ended.
This sinful, wretched soul of mine
Would then in hell forever pine
Because of my transgression.
2 But now sweet peace and rest I find,
My soul no more despairing,
Since He, the sin of all mankind
I wondrous patience bearing,
For me has true atonement made,
Thine ever righteous wrath allayed,
And wrought my soul's salvation.
3 I trust in Him with all my heart,
And all my sorrow ceases;
His wounds abiding peace impart,
His blood from guilt releases,
Enables me free grace to gain
And washes me from ev'ry stain,
that snow-white I am rendered.
4 His blood affords me sure relief,
He is my joy forever;
Now from Thy love no pain or grief
My ransomed soul shall sever.
The crown of life, by Thy dear Son
For me, a wretched sinner, won.
No devil can wrest from me.
5 All human righteousness is vain,
Our works can never save us;
True righteousness by faith we gain,
The blood of Christ's must lave us.
His death, that perfect sacrifice,
Has paid the all-sufficient price;
In Him my hope is anchored.

O God, If Thy Beloved Son
The Day Is Surely Drawing Near
Author: Bartholomaeus Ringwalt Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #321 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near
When Christ, the Lord's Anointed,
In might and glory shall appear,
As Judge of all appointed.
The time of mirth shall then expire,
When all shall be consumed by fire,
As Holy Scripture tells us.
2 The trump of God shall then resound,
And all the earth be shaken;
The dead who in thegraves are found
Shall then to life awaken,
And all who faithful here abide
Shall be transformed and glorified
By Christ's almighty working.
3 The Judge shall then a scroll unfold,
His records truly telling
What all have done, both young and old,
While in the body dwelling.
All secrets then shall be disclosed
And ev'ry hidden thought exposed
That was conceived in darkness.
4 Then woe to all who scorned the Lord
And sought but carnal pleasures,
Who loathed to hear His holy Word,
Enthralled by earthly treasures.
They shall not in the judgment stand,
But at the righteous King's command
With Satan have their portion.
5 Lord Jesus, Victor in the strife,
For my transgressions smitten,
O grant that in the book of life
My name be also written.
Nor will I doubt that I am free
From Satan's rule, O Lord, thro' Thee,
The Source of our salvation. Topics: The Christian Life Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: MONMOUTH

In addition to these original hymns Dr. Stryker has several translations from the German which are in common use. One of his hymns, No. 513, "Now I lay me down to sleep" (Child's Evening hymn), in Church Song, 1889 (dated 1884), begins with a stanza by another hand. In the same work there are also several of his tunes. Dr. Stryker's hymns are massive and rugged, full of dogmatism and fire, but they lack unity and purity of rhythm. In some instances words stand for thoughts, and exclamations for ideas. Nevertheless a few will live.
