O Father, Thou who hast created all

Author: A. Knapp Hymnal: LHPN1913 #143 (1913) Meter: 10.6.10.6.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 O Father, Thou who hast created all In wisest love, we pray, Look on this babe, who at Thy gracious call Is entering on life’s way; Bend o’er him in his nothingness, Thine image on his soul impress; O Father, hear! 2 O Son of God, who diedst for us, behold, We bring our child to Thee; Thou tender Shepherd, take him to Thy fold, Thine own for aye to be; Defend him through this earthly strife, And lead him in the way of life, O Son of God! 3 O Holy Ghost, who broodest o’er the wave, Descend upon this child; Give him undying life, his spirit lave With waters undefiled; Grant him from earliest years to be Thy learner apt, a home for Thee, O Holy Ghost! 4 O Triune God, what Thou command’st is done; We speak, but Thine the might; This child hath scarce yet seen our earthly sun, Yet pour on him Thy light, In faith and hope, in joy and love, Thou Sun of all below, above, O Triune God!

O Lord, our little ones to Thee

Author: W. Whiting Hymnal: LHPN1913 #144 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our little ones to Thee In faith and hope we give; We know that through this mystery Their newborn souls shall live. 2 We pour the water on their brow, The sacred words we say; Baptize them with the Spirit now, And keep them Thine alway. 3 Help them to go from strength to strength, Until, full-grown in Thee, They come before Thy face at length, And all Thy glory see. 4 And then, with all the heavenly host, In everlasting songs, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To whom all praise belongs.

Blessed Jesus! here we stand

Author: Benjamin Schmolk Hymnal: LHPN1913 #145 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus! here we stand, Met to do as Thou hast spoken; And this child, at Thy command, Now we bring to Thee, in token That to Christ it here is given; For of such shall be His heaven. 2 Yes,Thy warning voice is plain, And we fain would keep it duly: He who is not born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, Will God’s kingdom ne’er inherit. 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee; Take the pledge we bring, O take it! Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine on earth and Thine forever. 4 Make it, Head, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven, O lead it: Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Grafted firm in Thee for ever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure; Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven.

Savior, who Thy flock art feeding

Author: W. A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: LHPN1913 #146 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Savior, Who Thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share; 2 Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm! There, we know, Thy word believing, Only there secure from harm! 3 Never, from Thy pasture roving, Let them be the lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness so loving, Keep them all life's dangerous way. 4 Then, within Thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting-place, Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

O living Bread from heaven

Author: J. Rist Hymnal: LHPN1913 #148 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O living Bread from heaven, How hast Thou fed Thy guest! The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with rest. O wondrous food of blessing, O cup that heals our woes! My heart this gift possessing, In thankful song o’erflows. 2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me Within Thy holiest place, And there Thyself hast fed me With treasures of Thy grace: And Thou hast freely given, What earth could never buy,-- The bread of Life from heaven, That now I shall not die. 3 Thou gav'st all I wanted, The power can death destroy; And Thou has freely granted The cup of endless joy. Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor Thou hast shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Thy throne. 4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, I serve with holy fear; And when Thou call’st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness

Author: J. Franck Hymnal: LHPN1913 #149 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the daylight’s splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto him whose grace unbounded, Hath this wondrous banquet founded, High o’er all the heavens He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Haste to ope the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I never more will leave Thee." 3 Ah, how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing, In the battle well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend, who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 4 Now I sink before Thee lowly, Filled with joy most deep and holy, As with trembling awe and wonder On Thy mighty work I ponder, How by mystery surrounded, Depths no man hath ever sounded, None may dare to pierce unbidden, Secrets that with Thee are hidden. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth. At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee. By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #151 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget, Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee. 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.
