In heaven above, in heaven above

Author: Johan Aström Hymnal: LHPN1913 #263 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In heaven above, in heaven above, Where God, our Father, dwells: How boundless there the blessedness! No tongue its greatness tells: There face to face, and full and free, Ever and evermore we see - We see the Lord of hosts! 2 In heaven above, in heaven above, What glory deep and bright! The splendor of the noonday sun Grows pale before its light: The mighty sun that ne’er goes down, Around whose gleam clouds never frown, Is God, the Lord of hosts. 3 In heaven above, in heaven above, Behold a countless throng! Angels in mystic radiance garbed Lead the triumphal song: Angels and saints are one, and I Join glad the gladdest company, and hail the Lord of hosts. 4 In heaven above, in heaven above, No tears of pain are shed: For nothing there can fade or die; Life’s fulness round is spread, And like an ocean, joy o’erflows, And with immortal mercy glows Our God the Lord of hosts. 5 In heaven above, in heaven above, God hath a joy prepared, Which mortal ear hath never heard, Nor mortal vision shared, Which never pierced to mortal breast, By mortal lips was ne'er expressed, O God, the Lord of hosts! 6 O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Accept my thankful praise: Give me, as to the happy ones, Treasure of endless days. If firm in faith and hope I stand, I gain the crown, the better land, O God the Lord of hosts.

Jesus, refuge of the weary

Author: G. Savonarola, d. 1498 Hymnal: LHPN1913 #264 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, Object of the spirit's love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Savior, from the world above: O how oft Thine eyes, offended, Gaze upon the sinner's fall! Yet upon the cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see You wounded, bleeding, See Thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet Thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace and rest; Only what Thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's troubles breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning, With more fervent love for Thee; May our eyes be ever turning To Thy cross of agony; Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Savior's side, Graven in our hearts for ever, Dwell the cross, the Crucified.

O enter, Lord, Thy temple

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #266 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's guest, Who, at my birth, didst give me A second birth more blest; Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Though here to dwell Thou deignest, For ever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin. O wash and cleanse Thou me, That I may serve Thee truly, To render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might; Unheard they cannot fall, They pierce the highest heaven, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 4 Joy is Thy gift, O Spirit! Thou wouldst not have us pine; In darkest hours thy comfort Doth aye most brightly shine; Ah, then how oft thy voice Hath shed its sweetness o'er me, And opened heaven before me, And bid my heart rejoice. 5 All love in Thine, O Spirit! Thou hatest enmity; Thou lovest peace and friendship, All strife wouldst have us flee; Where wrath and discord reign Thy whisper inly pleadeth, And to the heart that heedeth Brings love and light again. 6 The whole wide world, O Spirit, Doth on Thy presence rest; Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As it may seem Thee best. Once more Thy power make known, As Thou hast done so often, Convert the wicked, soften To break the heart of stone. 7 With holy zeal then fill us, To keep the faith still pure; And bless our lands and houses With wealth that may endure; And make that foe to flee Who in us with Thee striveth, From out our heart he driveth Whate'er delighteth Thee. 8 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind, And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, O grant us then to die, With calm and fearless spirit, And after death inherit Eternal life on high.

Thou knowest all our anguish, And Thou wilt bid it cease: O Lamb of God, who takest The sin of the world away, O give to us Thy peace!

I walk in danger all the way

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #269 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I walk in danger all the way; The thought shall never leave me, That Satan, who has marked his prey, Is plotting to deceive me. This foe with hidden snares May seize me unawares If e'er I fail to watch and pray: I walk in danger all the way. 2 I pass through trials all the way, With sin and ills contending; In patience I must bear each day The cross of God's own sending; Oft in adversity I know not where to flee; When storms of woe my soul dismay, I pass through trials all the way. 3 Death doth pursue me all the way, Nowhere I rest securely, He comes by night, he comes by day, He takes his prey most surely; A failing breath--and I In death's strong grasp may lie To face eternity for aye: Death doth pursue me all the way. 4 I walk 'mongst angels all the way They shield me and befriend me; All Satan's power is held at bay When heavenly hosts attend me; They are my sure defense, All fear and sorrow hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk 'mongst angels all the way. 5 I walk with Jesus all the way, His guidance never fails me, Within His wounds I find a stay, When Satan's power assails me; And by His footsteps led, My path I safely tread. In spite of ills that threaten may, I walk with Jesus all the way. 6 My walk is heavenward all the way, Await, my soul, the morrow, When thou shalt find release for aye From all thy sin and sorrow; All worldly pomp, begone, To heaven I now press on; For all the world I would not stay, My walk is heavenward all the way.

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: LHPN1913 #270 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay whate'er doth happen; For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; Strong mail of craft and power He weareth in this hour; On earth is not his equal. 2 Stood we alone in our own might, Our striving would be losing; For us the one true Man doth fight, The Man of God's own choosing. Who is this chosen One? 'Tis Jesus Christ, the Son, The Lord of hosts, 'tis He Who wins the victory In every field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All watching to devour us. Our souls to fear we need not yield, They cannot overpower us; Their dreaded prince no more Can harm us as of yore; His rage we can endure; For lo! his doom is sure, A word shall overthrow him. 4 Still must they leave God's word its might, For which no thanks they merit; Still is He with us in the fight, With His good gifts and Spirit. And should they, in the strife, Take kindred, goods, and life, We freely let them go, They profit not the foe; With us remains the kingdom.

If God Himself be for me

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #272 (1913) Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy, For when I pray, before me My foes confounded fly: If Christ, the Head, befriend me, If God be my support, The mischief they intend me Shall quickly come to naught. 2 This I believe--yea, rather, In this I make my boast, That God is my dear Father, The griend who loves me most; And that, whate'er betide me, My Savior is at hand, Through stormy seas to guide me And bring me safe to land. 3 I build on this foundation,-- That Jesus and His blood Alone are my salvation, The true, eternal good: Without Him, all that pleases Is valueless on earth; The gifts I owe to Jesus Alone my love are worth. 4 His Holy Spirit dwelleth Within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, And soothes the keenest smart: He crowns His work with blessing, And helpeth me to cry, "My Father!" without ceasing, To Him who dwells on high. 5 And when my soul is lying Weak, trembling, and oppressed, He pleads with groans and sighing That cannot be expressed; But God's quick eye discerns them Although they give no sound, And into language turns them, E'en in the heart's deep ground. 6 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet words of soothing power, How God to him that seeketh For rest, hath rest in store: There God Himself prepareth My heritage and lot, And though my body weareth, My heaven shall fail me not. 7 Who clings with resolution To Him whom Satan hates, Must look for persecution Which never here abates; Reproaches, griefs and losses Rain fast upon his head, A thousand plagues and crosses Become his daily bread. 8 All this I am prepared for, Yet am I not afraid; By Thee shall all be cared for, To whom my vows were paid: Though life and limb it cost me, And all the earthly store Which once so much engrossed me,-- I love Thee all the more. 9 Not fire, nor sword, nor thunder, Shall sever me from Thee; Though earth be rent asunder, Thou'rt mine eternally: Not hunger, thirst, nor danger, Not pain, or pinching want, Nor mighty princes' anger, My fearless soul shall daunt. 10 No angel, and no gladness, No throne, no pomp, nor show, No love, no hate, no sadness, No pain, no depth of woe, No scheme of man's contrivance, Though it be great or small, Shall draw me from Thy guidance, Not one of these, nor all! 11 My merry heart is springing, And knows not how to pine; 'Tis full of joy and singing, And radiancy divine; The sun whose smiles so cheers me Is Jesus Christ alone; To have Him always near me Is heaven itself begun.
