My inmost heart now raises

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #22 (1918) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 My inmost heart now raises, In this fair morning hour, A song of thankful praises To Thine almighty power. O God, upon Thy throne! To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee, Through Christ, Thine only Son. 2 For Thou from me hast warded All perils of the night; From every harm hast guarded My soul till morning's light: Humbly to Thee I cry, O Savior, have compassion, And pardon my transgression; Have mercy, Lord most high! 3 And shield me from all evil, O gracious God, this day, From sin, and from the Devil, From shame and from dismay, From fire's consuming breath, From water's devastation, From need and consternation, From evil, sudden death. 4 My life, my soul--defend them! My wife, child, goods, and home,-- to Thy hand I commend them, From Thee these blessings come; Thy bounteous hand bestows My household and my treasures, My parents, friends, and pleasures; My cup with good o'erflows. 5 Let not Thine angel leave me, While here on earth I stay, Lest Satan's arts deceive me, And lead my soul astray! Then keep Thine angel near At night and each new morrow, Lest soul and body sorrow, And faltering cost me dear. 6 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means, and ends! To God, forever blessed, Will I with mine confide me, And suffer Him to guide me As seemeth to Him best. 7 Amen! I say, not fearing That God rejects my prayer; I doubt not He is hearing And granting me His care. So I put forth my hands, And look not long behind me, But ply the task assigned me By God, as He commands. Topics: Morning Languages: English

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #23 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 HAIL to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope like flowers, Spring in his path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand forever; That name to us is Love. Topics: Advent and Christmas Languages: English

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #30 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 LIFT up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold the King of glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near, The Saviour of the world is here; Life and salvation He doth bring, Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing: We praise Thee, Father, now, Creator, wise art Thou! 2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried, Mercy is ever at His side, His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings; Therefore the earth is glad and sings: We praise Thee, Saviour, now, Mighty in deed art Thou! 3 O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confessed! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss O Comforter divine, What boundless grace is Thine! 4 Fling wide the portals of your heart; Make it a temple set apart From earthly use for heaven's supply, Adorned with prayer, and love, and joy; So shall your Sovereign enter in, And new and nobler life begin; To Thee, O God, be praise, For word, and deed, and grace! 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me Thy inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in me reveal; Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, Until our glorious goal be won! Eternal praise and fame We offer to Thy name. Topics: Advent and Christmas Languages: English

O Lord, how shall I meet Thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #32 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, how shall I meet Thee, How welcome Thee aright? All nations long to greet Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, dearest Jesus, Thy lamp within my breast, That I may know what pleases Thee, Lord, my heavenly Guest. 2 Thy Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms, And I, too, will adore Thee With sweetest songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For Thee with praises new, And from Thy name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 What hast Thou left ungranted To give me glad relief? When soul and body panted In utmost depth of grief, In deepest degradation, Devoid of joy and peace, Then, Thou, my soul's Salvation, Didst come to bring release. 4 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 5 Naught, naught, dear Lord, could move Thee To leave Thy rightful place Save love, for which I love Thee; A love that could embrace A world where sorrow dwelleth, Which sin and suffering fill, More than the tongue e'er telleth;-- Yet Thou couldst love it still! 6 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: Despair not, He is near you, Yea, standing at the door, Who best can help and cheer you, And bid you weep no more. 7 No care nor effort either Is needed day or night, How ye may draw Him hither In your own strength and might. He comes, He comes with gladness, Moved by His love alone, To calm your fear and sadness, Which unto Him are known. 8 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, Let not your souls distress; Your guilt the Lord will pardon And cover with His grace. He comes, He comes procuring The peace of sin forgiven, To all God's sons securing Their part and lot in heaven. 9 Why should the wicked move you? Heed not their craft and spite! Your Saviour who doth love you, Will scatter wall their might. He comes, a King most glorious, And all His earthly foes In vain His course victorious Endeavor to oppose. 10 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering, And guide us safely home! Topics: Advent and Christmas Languages: English
