O Thou, who dost accord us

Author: Anon. Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who dost accord us The highest prize and guerdon, Thou hope of all our race, Jesus, do Thou afford us The gift we ask of pardon For all who humbly seek thy face. 2 With whispered accusation Our conscience tells of sinning In thought, and word, and deed; Thine is our restoration, The work of grace beginning For souls from every burden freed. 3 For who, if Thou reject us, Shall raise the fainting spirit? 'Tis thine alone to spare:' If Thou to life elect us, With cleanséd hearts to near it, Shall be our task, our lowly prayer. 4 O Trinity most glorious, Thy pardon free bestowing, Defend us evermore; That in Thy courts victorious, Thy love more truly knowing, We may with all Thy saints adore.

Though Satan would devour me, Let angel-guards sing o'er me: This child of God shall meet no harm. 5 My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From perils guard your heads; Sweet slumbers may He send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And through the night watch o'er your beds.

Die Nacht hat dich vertrieben, Die Nacht, des Tages Feind. Fahr hin! Ein’ andre Sonne, Mein Jesus, meine Wonne, Gar hell in meinem Herzen scheint. 3 Der Tag ist nun vergangen, Die güldnen Sternlein prangen Am blauen Himmelssaal; So, so werd’ ich auch stehen, Wenn mich wird heissen gehen Mein Gott aus diesem Jammertal. 4 Der Leib eilt nun zur Ruhe, Legt ab das Kleid und Schuhe, Das Bild der Sterblichkeit; Die zieh’ ich aus, dagegen Wird Christus mir anlegen Den Rock der Ehr’ und Herrlichkeit. 5 Breit aus die Flügel beide, O Jesu, meine Freude, Und nimm dein Küchlein ein! Will Satan mich verschlingen, So lass die Englein singen: Dies Kind soll unverletzet sein! 6 Auch euch, ihr mein Lieben, Soll heute nicht betrüben Kein Unfall nich Gefahr. Gott lass’ euch ruhig schlafen, Stell’ euch die güldnen Waffen Ums Bett und seiner Helden Schar. Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Upon the Cross Extended

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; John Kelly, 1833-1890 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended, see, world, your Lord suspended; your Savior yields his breath. The Prince of life from heaven himself has freely given to shame and blows and bitter death. 2 Who is it, Lord, that bruised you? Who has so sore abused you and caused you all your woe? We all must make confession of sin and dire transgression while you no ways of evil know. 3 I caused your grief and sighing by evils multiplying as countless as the sands. I caused the woes unnumbered with which your soul is cumbered, your sorrows raised by wicked hands. 4 Your soul in griefs unbounded, your head with thorns surrounded, you died to ransom me. The cross for me enduring, the crown for me securing, you healed my wounds and set me free. 5 Your cross I place before me, its saving pow'r restore me, sustain me in the test. It will, when life is ending, be guiding and attending my way to your eternal rest. Topics: Jesus' Passion Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-9 Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN
