Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee We Pray

Author: Martin Luther; Wm. R. Reynolds Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee we pray: The wrath of God is turned away; Thine agony and bitter death Redeemed us from eternal wrath. 2 That we may keep this truth in mind, Thy broken body here we find; Here we receive Thy precious blood, A cleansing, sacrificial flood. 3 Then praise the Father, by whose love The Son descended from above, Became the Bread of Life to thee, And bore thy sins upon the tree. 4 Most firmly this we do believe, That here the sick their food receive, Which heals them from the wounds of sin, Creating heavenly health within. 5 Our Saviour saith: Come unto Me, All ye who feel your poverty: My mercy I will freely give, Your anguished conscience to relieve. 6 If in thy heart this faith doth rest Which thou hast here in words confessed, A welcome guest thou here shalt be, And Christ Himself shall banquet thee. 7 But fruits must still thy faith approve, Thy neighbor thou must truly love; That love let him from thee receive Which here to thee thy God doth give. Amen.

Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart.
