O Father, Bless the Children

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: HOoS1926 #231 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Father, bless the children Brought hither to Thy gate; Lift up their fallen nature, Restore their lost estate; Renew Thy image in them, And own them, by this sign, Thy very sons and daughters, New-born of birth divine. 2 O Jesus, Lord, receive them; Thy loving arms of old Were opened wide to welcome The children to Thy fold; Let these, baptized, and dying, Then rising from the dead, Henceforth be living members Of Thee, their living Head. 3 O Holy Spirit, keep them; Dwell with them to the last, Till all the fight is ended, And all the storms are past. Renew the gift baptismal, From strength to strength, till each, The troublous waves o'ercoming, The land of life shall reach. 4 O Father, Son, and Spirit, O Wisdom, Love, and Power, We wait the promised blessing In this accepted hour. We name upon the children The threefold Name divine; Receive them, cleanse them, own them, And keep them ever Thine. Amen.

O may Thy sanctifying love Surround us all with blessing; And may we all Thy favor prove In daily Thee confessing, And close to Thee abiding. 3 O soul of man, remember well The holy Name Thou bearest: Of everything that tongue can tell That Name is still the dearest.

Jesus Took the Lambs and Blessed Them

Author: Matthias Loy Hymnal: HOoS1926 #233 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus took the lambs and blessed them, When they came to Him of old, Fondly in His arms caressed them, Bade them welcome in His fold, Warmly welcomed, When disciples' hearts were cold. 2 Jesus calls them still with kindness Passing every mortal thought, Bids them come, while human blindness Still would chide when they are brought, Take and blesses, Whom He hath so dearly bought. 3 Jesus, we would not forbid them, We would have them brought to Thee; Thou of all their guilt dost rid them, From the curse dost set them free, Thine dost make them-- Thine let them forever be!

The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord

Author: Haquin Spegel Hymnal: HOoS1926 #234 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, We celebrate with one accord; It is our comfort in distress, Our heart's sweet joy and happiness. 2 He blotted out with His own blood The judgment that against us stood; He full atonement for us made, And all our debt He fully paid. 3 That this is so and ever true He gives an earnest, ever new, In this His holy Supper, here We taste His love, so sweet, so near. 4 For His true body, as He said, And His true blood, for sinners shed, I this communion we receive: His sacred Word we do believe. 5 A precious food is this indeed. It never faileth; such we need. A heavenly manna for our soul, Until we safely reach our goal. 6 Then blest is every worthy guest Who in this promise findeth rest, For Jesus will in love abide With those who do in Him confide. 7 O sinner, come with true intent To turn to God and to repent, To live for Christ, to die to sin, And thus a holy life begin. 8 Who does unworthy here appear, Does not believe, nor is sincere, Salvation here will never find. May we this warning bear in mind. 9 O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear, Unto Thy cross we now draw near; Thy sacred wounds indeed make whole A wounded and afflicted soul. 10 Help us sincerely to believe That we Thy mercy do receive, And in Thy grace do find our rest, Amen. He who believes is blest. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Languages: English Tune Title: MEIN SEEL, O HERR, MUSS LOBEN DICH

Thy heart, yet filled with peace and rest, With comfort and salvation Draws near to every breast. 5 Thou still in loving favor To us, thine own, art near, To lead us as our Saviour Unto a Father dear, A Father willing to forgive The children Thou didst ransom, Those who through Thee shall live. 6 We are Thine own forever; Until our latest breath Will we be true, and never In joy, in grief, in death, Depart from Thee, for Thou always Art present with Thy people, As Thine own promise says.

My trust is in Thy grace and pow'r; For all was finished in that hour, When Thou didst make atonement. 3 When I approach Thine altar, Lord, May I this comfort cherish, That on the cross, Thy blood was poured For me, lest I should perish. Thou didst for me God's law fulfill. That holy joy my heart might thrill, When on Thy love I'm feasting. 4 Shield me against the tempter's power, Whene'er he would assail me: Confirm my faith in death's dark hour, O let it never fail me! Lord Jesus, who hast died for me, My life I would devote to Thee, To praise Thy Name forever. Amen.
