Hear us, cheer us By Your teaching; Let our preaching And our labor Praise You, Lord, and serve our neighbor. 3 O mighty Rock, O Source of Life, Let Your dear Word, in doubt and strife, In us be strongly burning That we be faithful unto death And live in love and holy faith, From You true wisdom learning. Your grace and peace On us shower; By Your power Christ confessing, Let us see our Savior's blessing.

O Morning Star! how fair and bright

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Philipp Nicolai Appears in 64 hymnals Matching Instances: 26 Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light; O Sov'reign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely! Holy art Thou, Fair and glorious, all victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me; turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer me, O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and this hold fast: The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou swellest now, Above all tears, all sinning; Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, soon release us; With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning!

All we are and have, we owe you. 3 All praise to him who comes to save, who conquered death, and spurned the grave! Our adoration rises to him, the Lamb who once was slain, the friend whom none shall trust in vain, whose mercy yet surprises.

All Hail To Thee, O Blessed Morn

Author: E. W. Olson; Johan Olaf Wallin Meter: Irregular Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 First Line: All hail to thee, O blessed morn! Lyrics: 1 All hail to thee, O blessed morn! To tidings by the prophets borne Hast Thou fulfillment given. O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven, Singing, Ringing, Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Savior to us given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather Gather, Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share and be our aid Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying, Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heav'nly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heav'n is rent, To close upon us never; Our blessed Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother.
