That gladly I obey your Word.
Let what you will be my desire,
And with new life my soul inspire.

And seek those things which are above,

Author: L. Helmbold, 1532-98; M. Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, help us ever to retain
The Catechism's doctrine plain
As Luther taught the Word of Truth
In simple style to tender youth.
2 Help us Thy holy Law to learn,
To mourn our sin, and from it turn
In faith to Thee and to Thy Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Thy children we may live,
Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive.
4 Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain,
Absolve and lift us up again;
And through the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.

Faith Is a Living Power from Heaven
Author: P. Herbert, d. 1571; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
That grasps the promise God hath giv'n,
A trust that cannot be o’erthrown,
Fixed heartily on Christ alone.
2 Faith finds in Christ whate’er we need
To save or strengthen us indeed,
Receives the grace He sends us down,
And makes us share His cross and crown.
3 Faith in the conscience worketh peace,
And bids the mourner’s weeping cease;
By faith the children’s place we claim
And give all honor to one Name.
4 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath
In love and hope that conquer death;
Faith worketh hourly joy in God
And trusts and blesses e’en the rod.
5 We thank Thee, then, O God of heav'n,
That Thou to us this faith hast giv'n
In Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who is
Our only fount and source of bliss.
6 And from His fullness grant each soul
The rightful faith’s true end and goal:
The blessedness no foes destroy,
Eternal love, and light, and joy.

Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light
Author: M. Behm Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light,
My strength by day, my trust by night,
On earth I’m but a passing guest,
And sorely with my sins oppressed.
2 Far off I see my fatherland,
Where through Thy grace I hope to stand.
But ere I reach that paradise,
A weary way before me lies.
3 My heart sinks at the journey’s length,
My wasted flesh has little strength,
Only my soul still cries in me,
Lord, fetch me home, take me to Thee!
4 O let Thy sufferings give me power
To meet the last and darkest hour;
Thy cross the staff whereon I lean,
My couch the grave where thou hast been.
5 Since Thou hast died, the pure, the just,
I take my homeward way in trust,
The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide,
When here I may no more abide.
6 And when the last great day is come,
And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom,
Let me with joy behold the light,
And set me then upon Thy right.
7 Renew this wasted flesh of mine,
That like the sun it there may shine,
Among the angels pure and bright,
Yea, like Thyself in glorious light.
8 Ah, then I’ll have my heart’s desire,
When singing with the angels’ choir,
Among the ransomed of Thy grace,
For ever I behold Thy face! Topics: The Last Things Preparation for Death; The Last Things Preparation for Death Used With Tune: [Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light]

We Bid Thee Welcome in the Name
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 135 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 We bid thee welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head.
Come as a servant,- so He came,
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep
This fold from hell and world and sin;
Nourish the lambs and feed the sheep;
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare.
Lift o’er our ranks the prophet’s rod
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.
4 Come as a messenger of peace,
Filled with the Spirit, fired with love.
Live to behold our large increase
And die to meet us all above.
Amen. Topics: The Church Ministry Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S
