Author: Balthasar Münter; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Full of rev'rence at Thy Word, Lord, I near thy hallowed board, Mindful of Thy latest breath, And Thy sacrificial death. Mediator, who for me Diedst from wrath to set me free, May I as Thy worthy guest By this feast of life be blest. 2 As a sinful castaway This is all my trust and stay, That Thy blood and righteousness Robes me in a spotless dress, Fits me as a saint to meet God before the judgment seat: God is reconciled to me— Hid, O spotless Lamb, in Thee. 3 Though because of sin I'm sad, This assurance makes me glad. Other helpers there are none, Lord, I cleave to Thee alone; Hence I come to Thee anew Thy remembrance to renew, And to testify again To Thy love--for sinners slain. 4 O that I could celebrate Worthily Thy passion great; God-forsaken, Thou didst press To Thy heart my bitterness! Golgotha—Gethsemane— My sins, Lamb, prepared for Thee! There I see Thee in Thy blood, Shed for my eternal good. 5 May I not, to my great loss, Coldly stand beneath the cross, Unto judgment never take What Thou offeredst for my sake! Bread of life! here strengthen me By Thy life to live in Thee, And Thy blood renew my will Thine alone, Lord, to fulfill. 6 This my purpose, to endure In Thy service and keep pure, Ever keep Thou firm in me, Till I pass from strife to Thee. Lord, I tremble now with dread, Lest again I faltering tread Weakly into lurking sin; Yet I feel its might within. 7 When in its seductive way It would lead my heart astray, Help me God, with bated breath, Look on Jesus' bitter death! While I see thy thorn-crowned Head, Bow beneath God's judgment dread, Let me not through sin despise, Lamb of God, Thy sacrifice. 8 Should, alas! I err from Thee, Constant Savior, seek Thou me; Show me wherein I do wrong, In my weakness, be Thou strong! Patiently my failings bear, Keep me wholly in Thy care; And when I bewail my sin, Grant me, Lord, Thy grace again. 9 Ever let me firmly hold, My Redeemer, to Thy fold. Help me show Thy saving death In the power of living faith, And to shun each sinful joy As a poisonous alloy, That eternally above I may praise Thy matchless love!

Father, Be Thy Blessing Shed

Author: Samuel Gilman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Father, be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Savior, needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit, with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy truth thro' him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandates keep: Feed My lambs and Feed My sheep. May he, to Thy people sent, Bring Thy Word and Sacrament; And when he proclaims Thy Word, May the people hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toil, Wisely may he till the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight; May he zeal with prudence blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him, in his charge, to find List'ning ear and eager mind, Helpful counsels, love and peace, Earnest life and glad increase; May his people, wisely led, Grow with him in Christ their Head; And at last together be Ripe for heav'n to dwell with Thee! Amen. Topics: Ordination and Installation Used With Tune: VIOLA
