Wach auf, du Geist der ersten Zeugen

Author: Karl Heinrich von Bogatzky; Albert Knapp Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14:7 Lyrics: 1 Wach auf, du Geist der ersten Zeugen, die auf der Mau'r als treue Wächter stehn, die Tag und Nächte nimmer schweigen und die getrost dem Feind entgegengehn, ja deren Schall die ganze Welt durchdringt und aller Völker Scharen zu dir bringt. 2 O daß dein Feuer bald entbrennte, o möcht es doch in alle Lande gehn! Ach Herr, gib doch in deine Ernte viel Knechte, die in treuer Arbeit stehn. O Herr der Ernte, siehe doch darein: die Ernt ist groß, die Zahl der Knechte klein. 3 Dein Sohn hat ja mit klaren Worten uns diese Bitt in unsern Mund gelegt. O siehe, wie an allen Orten sich deiner Kinder Herz und Sinn bewegt, dich herzinbrünstig hierum anzuflehn; drum hör, o Herr, und sprich: "Es soll geschehn." 4 So gib dein Wort mit großen Scharen, die in der Kraft Evangelisten sein; laß eilend Hilf uns widerfahren und brich in Satans Reich mit Macht hinein. O breite, Herr, auf weitem Erdenkreis dein Reich bald aus zu deines Namens Preis! 5 Ach daß die Hilf aus Zion käme! O daß dein Geist, so wie dein Wort verspricht, dein Volk aus dem Gefängnis nähme! O würd es doch nur bald vor Abend licht! Ach reiß, o Herr, den Himmel bald entzwei und komm herab zur Hilf und mach uns frei! 6 Ach laß dein Wort recht schnelle laufen, es sei kein Ort ohn dessen Glanz und Schein. Ach führe bald dadurch mit Haufen der Heiden Füll zu allen Toren ein! Ja wecke dein Volk Israel bald auf, und also segne deines Wortes Lauf! 7 Laß jede hoh und niedre Schule die Werkstatt deines guten Geistes sein, ja sitze du nur auf dem Stuhle und präge dich der Jugend selber ein, daß treuer Lehrer viel und Beter sein, die für die ganze Kirche flehn und schrein! 8 Du wirst dein herrlich Werk vollenden, der du der Welten Heil und Richter bist; du wirst der Menschheit Jammer wenden, so dunkel jetzt dein Weg, o Heilger, ist. Drum hört der Glaub nie auf, zu dir zu flehn; du tust doch über Bitten und Verstehn. Topics: Lieder zum Gottesdienst Sammlung und Sendung Used With Tune: [Wach auf, du Geist der ersten Zeugen]

I'll speak the honours of my King

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 I’ll speak the honours of my King. His form divinely fair; None of the sons of mortal race May with the Lord compare. 2 Sweet is thy speech, and heavenly grace Upon thy lips is shed; Thy God with blessings infinite Has crowned thy sacred head. 3 Gird on thy sword, victorious Prince, Ride with majestic sway; Thy terror shall strike through thy foes And make the world obey. 4 Thy throne, O God, for ever stands; Thy word of grace shall prove A peaceful sceptre in thy hands To rule thy saints by love. 5 Justice and truth attend thee still, But mercy is thy choice; And God, thy God, thy soul shall fill With most peculiar joys.

Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl

Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl, den rechten Gott wir meinen, doch ist ihr Herz Unglaubens voll, mit That sie Ihn verneinen. Ihr Wesen ist verderbet zwar, für Gott ist es ein Gräuel gar, es thut ihr'r keiner kein Gut. 2 Gott selbst vom Himmel sah herab auf aller Menschen Kinden, zu schaen sie Er sich begab, ob Er jemand würd' finden, der sein'n Verstand gerichtet hätt', mit Ernst nach Gottes Worten thät, und fragt nach seinem Willen. 3 Da war niemand auf rechter Bahn, sie war'n all' ausgeschritten, ein jeder ging nach seinem Wahn und hielt verlorne Sitten. Es thät ihr'r keiner doch kein Gut, wiewohl gar viel betrog der Muth, ihr Thun sollt' Gott gefallen. 4 Wie lang' wollen unwissen sein, die solche Müh' aufladen, und fressen dafür das Volk mein, und nähr'n sich mit sein'm Schaden? Es steht ihr Trauen nicht auf Gott, sie rufen Ihm nicht in der Noth, sie woll'n sich selbs versorgen. 5 Darum ist ihr Herz nimmer still, und steht all'zeit in Furchten, Gott bei den Frommen bleiben will, dem sie mit Glauben g'horchen. Ihr aber schmäht des Armen Rath, und höhnet alles, was er sagt, daß Gott sein Trost ist worden. 6 Wer soll Israel dem Armen zu Zion Heil erlangen? Gott wird sich sein's Volks erbarmen, und lösen die Gefangenen. Das wird Er thun durch seinen Sohn, davon wird Jacob Wonne han, und Israel sich freuen. 7 Ehr' sei Gott Vater allezeit, auch Christo eingeboren, und dem Tröster, heiligem Geist, gar hoch in's Himmels Throne, wie es im Anfang und auch jetzt gewesen ist und bleibet stets, bis an der Welt End', Amen.

All in All

Author: John Murray Meter: Irregular Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14:2-3 First Line: Come, tho' we can truly sing Lyrics: 1 Cone, tho' we can truly sing, In our flesh dwells no good thing; Yet on him who gives us all, We're embolden'd still to call. 2 Blind, and foolish once were we, Christ our wisdom now we see; In this wisdom we confide, By this we are justifi'd; 3 Once in breaking God's command, Doom'd to death beneath his hand; Now we're call'd to own, and bless, Jesus Christ our righteousness. 4 Without purity of heart Truth divine will say depart, But this holiness we find, In the Saviour of mankind. 5 Many, mighty are our foes! Human these, angelic those, Where for refuge shall we flee? Christ our great redemption see! 6 Seraphs, flames of sacred fire, View this myst'ry with desire; Hark! the bright enraptur'd throng Catch, and raise the grateful song. 7 O ye thrones of heav'nly light, Since you're sav'd from endless night, And since we are rais'd to you, Let us still the song pursue.

A Worldling, wretched, vile and base

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 A Worldling, wretched, vile and base, Not subject to restraining grace; But yielded to his lusts and pride, And set all fear of God aside. 2 Though he had riches laid in store, Yet no compassion on the poor! A beggar in a helpless state, Found no assistance at his gate. 3 The worldling spent his precious days, In Luxuries, in sports and plays-- While the poor beggar lay distress'd, With poverty and sores oppress'd. 4 But to them both it proved strange, To meet with such a sudden change; The worldling sent to endless pain, The beggar plac'd with Christ to reign. 5 This is the sinners awful case: They who neglect the time of grace; They cry for help, but O too late! When once they share their lot and fate. 6 The worldlilng pray'd to get relief, To metigate his pain and grief; But father Abr'am could not grant that cooling drop which he did want. 7 If we seek heaven here on earth, We loose the heav'n of greater worth; To bear the Cross with Jesus here, Intitles us to glory there. 8 Dear Saviour, make us truly wise, All sinful pleasures to despise-- The greatest evil we can do: That is to choose our heav'n below.

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved

Vain foolish Men profanely boast

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Vain foolish Men profanely boast Of God and true Religion: Their faithless Hearts are full of Lust, Their Life's a Contradiction: Corrupted is their very Frame; God's Holiness abhors the same; There's None doth Good, but Evil. II. The Lord, from his coelestial Throne, Look'd down on evr'y Creature, To find one Man who had begun To love God's holy Nature; But ll the Race was gone astray, All had forsook the saving Way Of CHRIST'S bright Revelation. III. How long will they be ignorant Of their Abomination, Who thus despise my Covenant, Nor spare my Holy Nation? They never call upon the Lord, But trust unto their golden Hoard, And turn their own Defenders. IV. Yet are their Hearts in constant Pain, And secret Fear and Trembling. God with his SION will remain, Where Saints are still assembling: But you deride the Poors' Advice, Their greatest Comfort you despise, That God's their only Refuge. V. O, that the joyful Day wou'd come, To change our mournful Station, When God will bring his Children home, And finish our Salvation! Then shall the Tribes of JACOB sing, And JUDAH praise their Lord and King, With lasting HALLELUJAHS. Topics: True and False Christianity
