The wonders of that hand,

For all your loving-kindness,
That you have patiently
Borne with me in my blindness!
When dead in many sins
And trespasses I lay,
I kindled, holy God,
Your anger ev'ry day.
2 It is your work alone
That I am now converted;
O'er Satan's work in me
You have your pow'r asserted.
Your mercy and your grace
That rise afresh each morn
Have turned my stony heart
Into a heart new-born.
3 Lord, you have raised me up
To joy and exultation
And clearly shown the way
That leads me to salvation.
My sins are washed away;
For this I thank you, Lord.
Now with my heart and soul
All evil I abhor.
4 Grant that your Spirit's help
To me be always given
Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven.
Grant that he give me strength
In my infirmity;
May he renew my heart
To serve you willingly.
5 O Father, God of love,
Now hear my supplication;
O Savior, Son of God,
Accept my adoration;
O Holy Spirit, be
My ever faithful guide
That I may serve you here
And there with you abide. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT (II)
How Can I Thank You, Lord
I Know in Whom I Trust
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust
When guilt of sin oppresses,
When anguish and remorse
My burdened soul distresses;
I come before Thy throne,
O God, in Jesus' Name;
Thy mercy, love, and truth
Forever are the same.
2 I know in Whom I trust
When, troubled and dejected,
I lack the strength to go
The way of God selected'
To Jesus then I pray
With a repentant mind,
And strength of holiness
I through His Spirit find.
3 I know in Whom I trust
When worldly pomp and splendor
Would lure my heart away,
For He is my Defender.
I hear His warning voice,
I feel His loving hand;
Temptations and deceits
With Him I thus withstand.
4 I know in Whom I trust
When peace and joy forsake me,
When fain my heart would break,
And sorrows overtake me.
The suffering of my Lord,
His anguish, pain, and woe
Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.
5 I know in Whom I trust
When evening shadows lengthen,
When death stands at the door,--
For Christ is there to strengthen.
He died upon the cross
To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.
6 I know in Whom I trust;
I praise Him and adore Him;
By works I show my faith;
My heart I lay before Him;
Not only crying, "Lord!"
I take Him as my Guide,
And thus in life and death
In Him alone abide.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Names and Office of Christ Conqueror; Names and Office of Christ Defender; Names and Office of Christ Guide Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Used With Tune: ACH JESU, DESSEN TREU

Why do the heathen rage?
Author: B. H. Kennedy Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage?
What are the nations dreaming?
In vain against the Lord
And His Anointed scheming,
Kings of the earth arise,
And leaguéd rulers say:
"Come, let us break their bands,
And cast their cords away."
2 He who is throned in heaven
Derides their preparation;
The Lord upon them pours
His scornful indignation:
Soon shall His voice of wrath
Their souls with terror thrill
"Yet I have set my King
On Zion's holy hill."--
3 Now will I cry aloud
And tell the Lord's great token:
"Thou art My Son," He saith:
To me the word was spoken:
"Yea, Thee have I this day
Begotten: ask of Me,
And Thine the heathen, Thine
Earth's utmost parts shall be:
4 Beneath Thine iron rod
Thy foemen shall be shattered,
As by the potter's hand
The broken shreds lie scattered."
Be wise, then, O ye kings,
Ye earthly judges, hear;
Serve ye the Lord with awe,
Rejoice with trembling fear.
5 Bow down and kiss the Son,
Lest, if His wrath awaken,
Ye fail and fade away,
For evermore forsaken.
Soon may His anger burn,
A lightly kindled flame;
Then blessed are all they
That trust His holy name. Topics: The Church Year Sunday after New Year; The Church Year Sunday after New Year; Afflcition Used With Tune: [Why do the heathen rage?]

Rise from Your Graves, Ye Dead
Author: Johann F. Starck, 1680-1756 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Rise from your graves, ye dead! Lyrics: 1. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Thus shall the call be sounded,
Which on the latter day
shall find us all astounded;
Which to the faithful flock
shall promise rare delight,
And fill the trembling hearts
of sinners with affright.
2. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Your sleep at last is over,
Ye blessèd of the Lord,
no more without shall hover.
The garments are prepared,
the crowns for you are stored,
Enter into the joy
and comfort of your Lord!
3. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Come from your earthly cover;
Ye wicked all the pangs of
hell shall now discover.
Ye once rejected Me,
I hold you nothing worth;
Wailing and gnashing teeth
shall be your lot henceforth.
4. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Lo, here are bone and tissue
Flesh, sinew, hands, eye, foot!
from earth and air they issue.
That wherewith you have served
the Lord is glorified,
That wherewith you have sinned,
consumed and cast aside.
5. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Ye faithful now shall glory
In halos like the sun,
undimmed, untransitory.
Immortal bodies with
immortal souls shall blend,
Ye shall enjoy the rest
of saints that hath no end. Used With Tune: STEADFAST Text Sources: This translation appeared in John Frederick Stark's Daily Hand-Book (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Kohler Publishing Company, 1855), pages 328-9

I Am a Child of God
Author: Mary Jackson Cathey Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I am a child of God, the One who made and keeps me Lyrics: I am a child of God, the One who made and keeps me.
By God's free gift of love, God's child I always will be.
Forever I belong, I know that this is true;
and with my mind and heart, I trust and love God, too.
God's image is in us, the people of creation.
No matter where we live, we share a close relation.
God's covenant is sure, eternal word for all
who follow in God's way and answer to God's call.
God never turns from us, not even in our sinning.
God loves and waits for us to claim a new beginning.
By opening our hearts, we then prepare the way
for God's love to come in and guide us every day.
I thank God for that love and all the world around me,
the seen and unseen things, and promised things that will be.
Through worship, trust, and prayer, may I reflect God's will.
Let love be seen in me as I God's word fulfill.

From childhood us doth lead;
On Him we place our trust
And hope in time of need.

From all on earth be given,
To God who reigns above,
Enthroned in highest Heaven.

To Thee, Eternal God
Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, eternal God,
Our fervent thanks we render
For all Thy boundless love
And for Thy mercies tender.
Thy servant Thou hast blessed
Thro' many fruitful years,
That he may reap in joy
Where he has sown in tears!
2 Thou hast preserved his health,
His strength has not been waning;
His mind is still alert,
Each day new vision gaining.
Thy hand has shielded him
And kept him free from harm;
In weakness he has leaned
On Thy sustaining arm.
3 Thou hast vouchsafed to him
Thy Spirit's gift for preaching
And talents such as he
Most needed in his teaching;
Hast filled his heart with love
For sinners gone astray
And hope for better things,
That ne'er shall pass away.
4 O God, continue Thou
To send Thy show'rs of blessing
Upon Thy servant true,
That he, Thy grace possessing,
May flourish like a tree
Beside the waters pure
And yield much precious fruit
That shall for aye endure.
