Out of the Depths I cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #239 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee; Lord, hear me, I implore Thee! Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, Let my prayer come before Thee! If Thou remember each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Who may abide Thy presence? 2 Our pardon is Thy gift: Thy love And grace alone avail us. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove, The strictest life must fail us. That none may boast himself of aught, But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought What in him seemeth righteous. 3 And thus, my hope is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; I rest upon His faithful word To them of contrite spirit. That He is merciful and just, Here is my comfort and my trust, His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night, And round till morning waken, My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy might, Nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed. Wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes, His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our kind and faithful Shepherd, He, Who shall at last set Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Topics: Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOTH SCHREI ICH ZU DIR

Out of the Depths

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #240 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Out of the depths to Thee I raise Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths to Thee I raise The voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me, And hear my supplication. If Thou shouldst count our every sin, Each evil deed or thought within, O who could stand before Thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain Grace, grace alone prevaileth. Our works, alas! are all in vain; In much the best life faileth. For none can glory in Thy sight, All must alike confess Thy might And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit. On God my soul shall rest; God's work Upholds my fainting spirit. God's promised mercy is my fort, My comfort, and my strong support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the live-long night, And till the dawn appeareth, My heart still trusteth in God's might; It doubteth not nor feareth: So let the Israelites in heart, Born of the Spirit, do their part, And wait till God appeareth.

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: Thomas Cotterill; Anon.; William B. Collyer Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #240 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! Beneath his cross I view the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet him. Amen.

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther, 1483–1546; Richard Massie, 1800–87 Hymnal: One and All Rejoice #244 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God has done, How His right arm the vict’ry won. What price our ransom cost Him! 2 Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o’er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. But daily deeper still I fell; My life became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 God said to His belovèd Son: “It’s time to have compassion. Then go, bright jewel of My crown, And bring to all salvation. From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with You forever.” 4 The Son obeyed His Father’s will, Was born of virgin mother; And God’s good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. His royal pow’r disguised He bore; A servant’s form, like mine, He wore To lead the devil captive. Topics: Justification Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH

Let me with holy food be fed, In hunger I address you. Prepare me well for you, O Lord, And, humbly by my prayer implored, Give me your grace and mercy. 2 To pastures green, Lord, safely guide, To restful waters lead me; Your table well for me provide, Your wounded hand now feed me. Though weary, sinful, sick, and weak, Refuge in you alone I seek, To share your cup of healing. 3 O bread of heav'n, my soul's delight, For full and free remission I come with prayer before your sight In sorrow and contrition. Your rightousness, Lord, cover me That I receive you worthily, Assured of your full pardon. 4 I do not merit favor, Lord, My weight of sin would break me; In all my guilty heart's discord, O Lord, do not forsake me. In my distress this comforts me That you receive me graciously, O Christ, my Lord of mercy! Topics: The Lord's Supper Languages: English Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOT II

With trembling awe the chosen three

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #249 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three The holy mount ascended, Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy, They saw the vision splendid-- Their Lord arrayed in living light, And on His left hand and His right, By glorious saints attended. 2 O vision bright, too bright to tell, The joys of heaven unveiling! How precious on those hearts it fell, When earthly hopes were failing; When, saints no more on either side, Between the thieves the Savior died 'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing! 3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief Of future triumph telling, Gilding with hope our night of grief, Our clouds of fear dispelling. If the dim foretaste was so bright, O what shall be the dazzling light Of Thine eternal dwelling!

O Jesus Christ, Thou Bread of Life

Author: Johann Rist Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #249 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, thou Bread of Life, To sinners freely given Who of their evil ways repent, Cast out all earthly leaven, And graciously my heart prepare The Holy Supper now to share, With Thee in blest communion. 2 Deign to Thine altar, blessed Lord, By Thine own hand to lead me, There to renew Thy covenant, And with Thy gifts to feed me; O give me, in Thy flesh and blood, To taste and see that Thou are good; My soul refresh and quicken. 3 O give me strength to walk with Thee, And grace Thy steps to follow, Thus to fulfill the last of God, To Him my service hallow. Bless now Thy sacramental guest, Take Thine abode within my breast, And nevermore forsake me. 4 Cleanse me of all iniquity, Renew my heart within me; My soul so fully occupy That evil shall not win me. As Thou didst suffer on the cross, So teach Thy child to suffer loss, Through faith in Thee, my Saviour. 5 Thy grace, O God, I merit less Than strips of Thy chastising; In all my sins and dire distress I yet were agonizing, Save for the willing sacrifice Of Christ, who bought us with a price, And earned our full salvation. 6 Sore stricken, unto Thee I come, For grace and succor pleading, Mine eyes are blind; to Thee I turn For light and gentle leading. Whene'er I stumble, raise me up; When faint and famished, from Thy cup, Lord, tender me Thy healing! 7 Come, Saviour dear, with me abide, Thy love in me upwelling; O Holy Spirit, be my Guide, And make my heart Thy dwelling. In all my griefs my comfort be, Grant me that unity with Thee Which life nor death can sever. 8 Before Thy sacred table, Lord, My prayers grow faint and falter; Now make me worthy to partake The bounties of Thine altar. If one with Thee Thou make me there. I know that also I shall share With Thee the joy of heaven. Amen.
