Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Henry Eyster Jacobs Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee! Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee! Nearer to Thee! Through Word and Sacrament, Thou com'st to me. Thy grace is ever near, Thy Spirit ever here, Drawing to Thee. 2 Ages on ages rolled, Ere earth appeared, Yet Thine unmeasured love Thy way prepared; E'en then thou yearnest for me That I might nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 3 Thy Son has come to earth, My sin to bear, My every wound to heal, My pain to share. God in the flesh for me, Brings me now nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Lo! all my debt is paid, My guilt is gone, See! He has risen for me, My throne is won. Thanks, O my God, to Thee! None now can nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 5 Welcome, then, to Thy home, Blest One in Three! As Thou hast promised, come! Come, Lord, to me! Work, Thou, O God, through me, Live Thou, O God, in me, Ever in me! 6 By the baptismal stream, Which made me thine, By the dear flesh and blood Thy love made mine. Purge Thou all sin from me, That I may nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 7 Surely it matters not What earth may bring; Death is of no account, Grace will I sing. Nothing remains for me Save to be nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! Amen. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: KEDRON

My Crucified Saviour, Despised and Contemned

Author: Anders Carl Rutström, 1721-1772 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned, Thou innocent Victim for sinners condemned, Thy garments are blood-stained Thy spirit doth groan, In agony prostrate, Thou sufferest alone. 2 Thou weepest and moanest in conflict and prayer, And writhest in agony, pain, and despair; In thirty years’ anguish our path Thou hast trod, And diest at last to redeem us to God. 3 For me Thou hast labored salvation to win, For me tasted death to atone for my sin; Neglected, forsaken, but mindful of me, Thou prayest for those who have crucified Thee. 4 Thou consecrate Victim, my Passover slain, The gall and the wormwood for me Thou dost drain. That I might be blessed Thou sufferest all woe, And diest at last on me life to bestow. 5 Our Saviour thus finished God’s plan with our race, And laid the foundation for pardon and grace. And then rose triumphant, the conquering Lord, Appeased the Creator and mankind restored. 6 Restored to the bliss that was lost in the fall, Yea, greater, for Jesus prepared for us all Eternal salvation and mansions above; Come, poor burdened sinners, rejoice in His love. 7 What is, then, to be reconciled unto God? It is that He silenced the curse by His blood; And what the relation to which we're restored? The right to be counted the friends of the Lord. 8 So come, trembling sinner, come just as thou art, Thy cares and Thy sorrows to Jesus impart; In Him seek salvation from death and the grave, For Jesus is willing and mighty to save. Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: MIN BLODIGE KONUNG

Though death o'ertakes me, Christ ne'er forsakes me, To everlasting life He surely wakes me. 3 More radiant there than sun e'er shone in brightness, My soul shall shine before God's throne in whiteness. My God, who knows me, In glory clothes me, As He declared when for His own He chose me. 4 Oh, may I come where strife and grief are ended, Where all Thy saints shall meet, with peace attended? Grant, Lord, Thy favor And mercy ever, And turn my sorrow into joy forever. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, keep me prepared and waking, Till from the vale of tears Thy bride Thou'rt taking To dwell in heaven, Where joy is given, And clouds of darkness are forever riven.

My weary soul in faith doth yearn for Thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m ever blesséd, With Thee I'm ever blesséd. Topics: Eternity Used With Tune: TILL FRIDENS HEM
