Jesus, Name All Names Above

Author: Theoctistus of the Studium, -860 Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.7 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Name all names above, Jesus, best and dearest, Jesus, Font of perfect love, Holiest, tenderest, nearest, Jesus, Source of grace completest, Jesus purest, Jesus sweetest, Jesus, Well of power divine, Make me, keep me, seal me Thine! 2 Thou didst call the prodigal; thou didst pardon Mary; thou whose words can never fall, Love can never vary; Thou whose wounds are ever pleading, And Thy passion interceding, From my misery let me rise To a home in paradise! 3 Jesus, crowned with thorns for me, Scourged for my transgression! Witnessing, through agony, That Thy good confession; Jesus, clad in purple raiment, For my evils making payment; Let not all Thy woe and pain, Let not Calvary, be in vain! 4 When I reach death’s bitter sea, And its waves mount higher, Jesus, come, be near to me, As the storm draws nigher: Jesus, leave me not to languish Helpless, homeless, full of anguish! Tell me,--"Verily, I say, Thou shalt be with Me to-day!" Amen. Topics: New Year Used With Tune: UNDERBAR EN STJÄRNA BLID

He loves more tenderly than any mother; To rest in Him is more than wealth and fame. 3 My poor and wretched soul He bought so dearly, And freed from condemnation, death, and hell; The old and bitter foe He crushed completely. My soul, rejoice and sing, for all is well! 4 Thus I’m redeemed; no more the law prevaileth, For Christ, the Lord, is my Redeemer’s Name; His precious blood more than my sin availeth; His merit covers all my guilt and shame. 5 With hallelujahs here I’d tell the story, My Lord to praise, to laud and magnify; And praise His Name for evermore in glory, Before His throne with all the saints on high. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: JAG HAR EN VÄN

Lord Jesus Christ, True God and Man

Author: Paul Eber, 1511-1569 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: I pray Thee, through that bitter woe, Let me, a sinner, mercy know. 2 When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death, When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, Lord, by Thy grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death: Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

The Day is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, 1532-1599 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When He, the Lord's Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease, When flames on flames will still increase, As the Apostle teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound, And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken. But all that live shall in that hour, By the Almighty’s boundless power, Be at His word be changéd. 3 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word, And loved their earthly treasures, With shame and trembling they will stand, And at the Judge's stern command Must leave the Lord forever. 4 Oh, may my name, dear Lord, be found, Free from all condemnation, For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds, In Thy book of salvation. I will not doubt;--I trust in Thee;-- From Satan Thou hast made me free, And from all condemnation. 5 Therefore, my Intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free, With all who life inherit; That with my brethren I may stand With Thee in heaven, our fatherland, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 6 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, Oh, hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way, In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come, mighty Judge, come, make us free From every evil. Amen!

Over Kidron Jesus Treadeth

Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1706 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Over Kidron Jesus treadeth To His passion for us all; Every human eye be weeping, Tears of bitter grief let fall! Round His spirit flock the foes, Place their shafts and bend their bows, Aiming at the Saviour solely, While the world forsakes Him wholly. 2 David once, with heart afflicted, Crossed o'er Kidron's narrow strand, Clouds of gloom and grief about him When an exile from his land. But, O Jesus, blacker now Bends the cloud above Thy brow, Hasting to death's dreary portals For the shame and sin of mortals. 3 See Him anguish-sticken falling, Prostrate, and with struggling breath, Three times on His Father calling, Praying that the bitter death And the cup of doom may go; Still He cries, in all His woe: "Not My will, but Thine, O Father," And the angels round Him gather. 4 See how, in that hour of darkness, Battling with the evil power, Agonies untold assail Him, On His soul the arrows shower; And the garden flowers are wet With the drops of bloody sweat, From His anguished frame distilling-- Our redemption thus fulfilling! 5 But, O flowers, so sadly watered By this pure and precious dew, Faith alone can know its power And your beauty rightly view. Eden's Garden did not bear Aught that can with you compare, For the blood, thus freely given, Makes my soul the heir of heaven. 6 When as flowers themselves I wither, When I droop and fade like grass, When the life-streams through my pulses Dull and ever duller pass, When at last they cease to roll, Then, to cheer my sinking soul, Grace of Jesus, be Thou given-- Source of Triumph! Pledge of heaven! Topics: Lent Used With Tune: FRÄLSTA VÄRLD! I NÅDENS UNDER

Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: BÖJD UNDER KORSET

My heart is yearning ever To reach that city blest. 2 Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. God's city bright Gives all delight; No grief nor wail of mortals Is where the Lamb is near. Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. 3 Their blesséd Lord and Saviour Doth rule and govern them In peace and joy, Without alloy, For sin can enter never The new Jerusalem. Their blesséd Lord and Saviour Doth rule and govern them. 4 Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar: Oh, city of The God of love, Where no more earthly worry My happiness shall mar! Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar! 5 And even I shall conquer In Jesus' Name and might, Though weak and faint, Still as a saint, I'll in the haven anchor, Sweet haven of delight. Yea, even I shall conquer, In Jesus' Name and might. Amen. Topics: Eternity Used With Tune: I DJUPET AF MITT HJÄRTA Text Sources: Hemlandssänger

We praise, dear Lord, Thy Name divine, For Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; No more we need to dread its gloom. 2 That tree, on which Thou offer'dst up Thy life, now bears the fruit of hope: Thy precious blood for us is shed, Now we may feed on heavenly bread. 3 We thank Thee, Jesus, that Thy hand Has freed us from sin's galling band; No more its thralldom we need fear; The year of liberty is here. 4 O Jesus Christ, God's Son elect, Our Paschal Lamb without defect, To us Thou givest strength indeed, In all our conflicts, all our need. 5 Through Thee we always shall prevail, However hell may us assail, Thou setst us free, Thy name to praise, And leadst us into heavenly ways. 6 Oh, grant, that as Thou didst arise, I too, with joy, may heavenward rise, First from my sin, to love Thy way, Then from the grave, at the last day. 7 All praise to Thee who from death's might, From carnal lust and sin's dark plight Redeemest me, and show'st how I May reach eternal life on high.
