Come O come, Thou quickening Spirit

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #246 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Come O come, Thou quickening Spirit, True God from eternity! Let us Thy blest grace inherit, And our souls be filled with Thee; Then shall spirit, life, and light Drive away our inner night. 2 Grant our hearts Thy heavenly treasure: Wisdom, counsel, purity; That in naught we may take pleasure Save in that which pleaseth Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error's overthrow. 3 Lead us to our soul's salvation, Keep us in the paths of grace, Shield us from the world's temptation That might foil us in the race; When we stumble, hear our call, Work repentance for our fall. 4 Let us trust Thy witness wholly That we children are of God, Who rely upon Him solely, When they pass beneath the rod; For the Father's chastenings Bless above all earthly things. 5 Prompt us, that we come before Him Joyously with hope in view, Sigh in us, when we implore Him, Ever plead for us anew; Then our prayer shall not be vain, And our faith new strength shall gain. 6 If our soul for comfort languish, And despondency grow strong, That the heart must cry in anguish: "O my God, my God, how long!" Comfort then the aching breast, Grant us courage, patience, rest. 7 Mighty Spirit of reliance, Sure Defence in all our need! When the foe bids us defiance, Bid Thy work in us Godspeed! Grant us weapons for the strife, And with victory crown our life. 8 Guard, O God, our faith forever; Let not Satan, death or shame Ever part us from our Savior; Lord, our Refuge is Thy name. Though our flesh would fain say Nay, Be Thy Word to us still Yea. 9 And when death life's thread is rending, Then assure us yet the more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store Which can never be expressed, But with which we shall be blest.

Christians, Rise, Put On Your Armor

Author: J. C. Aaberg; H. A. Brorson; J. Falkner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #248 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christians, rise, put on your armor; Men of Christ, assume your part. Satan, still the crafty charmer, Trains his host in all his art. As your sword Use God's Word, Hell is battling 'gainst the Lord. 2 Follow Christ, your great Commander, Lean upon His mighty arm; Satan, armed with guile and slander, Aims to do you naught but harm. Have no fear Christ is near, He as victor shall appear. 3 With the cross of Christ to lead you, Press ye onward in the strife. He who by the cross has freed you Fills the faintest heart with life, For each wound Balm is found In the joy of victors crowned. 4 Many hearts are filled with yearning And have yet no solace found. Men to God but partly turning Find that fear and woes abound. God will bless When the flesh By His Spirit we suppress. 5 Crowns are won by true endeavor, As all saints have testified. They have overcome forever, Strengthened by the Lamb that died. Likewise we Cannot be From the Christian's trials free. 6 Though our flesh to dust be turning, If our souls in God remain, On a glorious Easter morning Day for us shall break again. Easter day Holding sway, Death must yield its mighty prey. 7 Then the host of Christ shall gather At His throne a ransomed throng, Offering thanks to God, the Father, And to Christ salvation's song. Every tongue Shall this song Through eternity prolong. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Warfare; Processionals and Recessionals General Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER

And no sign of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2 In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny heavenly plain Thou dost now with joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though Thou take what most we love.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #250 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed; Mary, loving mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2. He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. With the poor, the scorned, the lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3. Jesus is our childhood's pattern; day by day, like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. 4. And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.

Oh, how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace! 2 Gracious God, I come before thee; Come thou also unto me; Where we find thee and adore thee, There a heav'n on earth must be. To my heart, oh, enter thou, Let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted; Here thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep thy gift divine; How-so-e'er temptations thicken, May thy Word still o'er me shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in all strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee, Let thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near thee While thou dost thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows; Here is balm for all our woes. Topics: Beginning of Service; Beginning of Service; Dedication of a Church; The Word Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER
