If Thy Beloved Son, O God

Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 If Thy beloved Son, O God, Had not to earth descended And in our mortal flesh and blood Had not sin's power ended, Then this poor, wretched soul of mine In hell eternally would pine Because of its transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest; Despair no more reigns o'er me. No more am I by sin oppressed, For Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me He died That, reconciled, I might abide With Thee, my God, forever. 3 I trust in Him with all my heart; Now all my sorrow ceases. His words abiding peace impart; His blood from guilt releases. Free grace through Him I now obtain; He washes me from ev'ry stain, And pure I stand before Him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; The law brings condemnation. True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, Thou hast laid On Christ, Thy Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, Thou my debt hast paid And gained for me God's favor. O Holy Ghost, Thou Fount of grace, The good in me to Thee I trace; In faith do Thou preserve me.

Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluya! Enters now the highest heaven! Alleluya! 2 There the glorious triumph waits; Alleluya!, Lift your heads, eternal gates! Alleluya! Christ hath vanquished death and sin; Alleluya! Take the King of glory in. Alleluya! 3 *See! the heaven its Lord receives, Alleluya! Yet he loves the earth he leaves: Alleluya! Though returning to his throne, Alleluya! Still he calls mankind his own. Alleluya! 4 *See! he lifts his hands above; Alleluya! See! he shows the prints of love: Alleluya! Hark! his gracious lips bestow Alleluya! Blessings on his Church below. Alleluya! 5 *Still for us he intercedes; Alleluya! His prevailing death he pleads; Alleluya! Near himself prepares our place, Alleluya! Harbinger of human race. Alleluya! 6 Lord, though parted from our sight, Alleluya! Far above yon azure height, Alleluya! Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluya! Seeking thee beyond the skies. Alleluya! 7 There we shall with thee remain, Alleluya! Partners of thine endless reign; Alleluya! There thy face unclouded see, Alleluya! Find our heaven of heavens in thee. Alleluya! Topics: The Christian Year Ascensiontide; Procession Used With Tune: CHISLEHURST

How shall we show our love to Thee, Who givest all? 2 The golden sunshine, vernal air, Sweet flow'rs and fruits Thy love declare. When harvests ripen, Thou art there, Who givest all. 3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days, For all the blessings earth displays, We owe Thee thankfulness and praise, Who givest all. 4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son, But gav’st Him for a world undone, And freely with that Blessed One Thou givest all. 5 Thou giv’st the Holy Spirit’s dower, Spirit of Life and Love and Power, And dost His sevenfold graces shower Upon us all. 6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, For means of grace and hopes of heaven, Father, all praise to Thee be given, Who givest all? 7 We lose what on ourselves we spend; We have as treasure without end Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend, Who givest all. 8 To Thee, from whom we all derive Our life, our gifts, our power to give. Oh, may we ever with Thee live, Who givest all! Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Stewardship Scripture: Matthew 10:8 Used With Tune: ES IST KEIN TAG
