With God and His mercy, His Spirit, and Word

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, (1816-1868) Meter: 11.11.11.6.6.11 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With God and His mercy, His Spirit, and Word, And loving communion at altar and board, We meet with assurance the dawn of each day: The Shepherd is with us, The Shepherd is with us, To lead and protect us, and teach us the way. 2 In perilous times, amid tempests and night, A band presses on through the gloom toward light; Though humble, and meek, and disowned by the world, They follow the Saviour, They follow the Saviour, And march on to glory, with banners unfurled. 3 While groveling worldlings with dross are content, And ever on sin and transgression are bent, I follow, victorious hosts, at your word, And march on to glory, And march on to glory, We march on to glory, our captain the Lord. 4 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear, Though none of my kindred that emblem may wear; I joyfully follow the champions of right, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, with weapons of might. 5 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will; And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Names and Office of Christ Shepherd Used With Tune: ACK, SALIGA STUNDER

Awake! the Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-lasting shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace that was forsaken Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence God's mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O souls who spurn salvation! See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth; 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth To save from sin's dread power. Make haste, implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Amen.
