O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #373 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire, Redemption's only spring! Creator of the world art Thou, Its Savior and its King, Its Savior and its King. 2 How vast the mercy and the love Which laid our sins on Thee, And led Thee to a cruel death, To set Thy people free, To set Thy people free! 3 But now the bands of death are burst, The ransom has been paid; And Thou art on Thy Father's throne, In glorious robes arrayed, In glorious robes arrayed. 4 O may Thy mighty love prevail Our sinful souls to spare! O may we come before Thy throne And find acceptance there, And find acceptance there! 5 O Christ, be Thou our present joy, Our future great reward; Our only glory may it be To glory in the Lord, To glory in the Lord!

That we To Thee truly living, To Thee giving prayer unceasing, Still may be in love increasing. 2 Give to Thy Word impressive power, That in our hearts, from this good hour, As fire it may be glowing; That we confess the Father, Son, And Thee, the Spirit, Three in One, Thy glory ever showing. O stay And sway our souls ever, That they never may forsake Thee, But by faith their refuge make Thee. 3 Thou Fountain whence all wisdom flows, Which God on pious hearts bestows, Grant us Thy consolation, That in our pure faith's unity We faithful witnesses may be, Of grace that brings salvation. Hear us, cheer us by Thy teaching; Let our preaching and our labor Praise Thee, Lord, and bless our neighbor. 4 Left to ourselves we shall but stray; O lead us on the narrow way, With wisest counsel guide us, And give us steadfastness, that we May ever faithful prove to Thee, Lord, now heal Thou all hearts broken; And betoken Thou art near us, Whom we trust to light and cheer us. 5 Thy heavenly strength sustain our heart, That we may act the valiant part With Thee as our reliance; Be Thou our refuge and our shield, That we may never quit the field, Bidding all foes defiance; Descend, defend from all errors And earth's terrors: Thy salvation Be our constant consolation. 6 O mighty Rock, O Source of life, Let Thy dear word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning, That we be faithful unto death, In Thy pure love and holy faith, From Thee true wisdom learning! Thy grace and peace on us shower; By Thy power Christ confessing, Let us win our Savior's blessing. 7 O gentle Dew, from heaven now fall With power upon the hearts of all, Thy tender love instilling; That heart, to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling; Then, Lord, discord shall not grieve Thee; We receive Thee; where Thou livest, Peace, and love, and joy Thou givest. 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In purest holiness be passed, Be Thou our strength forever; Grant that our hearts henceforth be free From sinful lust and vanity, Which us from Thee must sever. Keep Thou pure now from offenses Heart and senses. Blessed Spirit! Let us heavenly life inherit.

O day full of grace, which we behold

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #379 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O day full of grace, which we behold, Now gently to view ascending; Thou over the earth thy reign unfold, Good cheer to all mortals lending, That children of light in every clime May prove that the night is ending. 2 How blest was that gracious midnight hour, When God in our flesh was given; Then flushéd the dawn with light and power, that spread o'er the darkened heaven; Then rose o'er the world that Sun divine Which gloom from our hearts hath driven. 3 Yes, were every tree endowed with speech, And every leaflet singing, They never with praise His worth could reach, Though earth with their praise were ringing. Who fully could praise the Light of life Who light to our souls is bringing? 4 As birds in the morning sing God's praise, His fatherly love we cherish, For giving to us this day of grace, For life that shall never perish. His Church He hath kept these thousand years, And hungering souls did nourish. 5 Pass on thy close, O Whit-Sunday, With sunlight about thee beaming, And scatter thy blessings on thy way, As brooks through the meadows streaming E'er leave in their wake the woods and fields In beauty and fruitfulness dreaming. 6 With joy we depart for our fatherland, Where God our Father is dwelling, Where ready for us His mansions stand, Where heaven with praise is swelling; And there we shall walk in endless light, With blest ones His praise forth telling.

Help us offense and sin to flee, And ever serve God solely, So that our faith in Christ, our Lord, May prove itself in deed and word Before the world about us. 4 Thy gracious heavenly dew let fall, The fainting Church to quicken; Thy soothing ointment pour on all Whose souls are sad and stricken; Sustain us, Lord, in evil days, And let our lives in all our ways Abound in love and mercy. 5 Give strength and courage to contend Against the hosts of evil, That we may vanquish, in the end, The world, the flesh, the devil; And when death's billow o'er us rolls, Bear Thou to heaven our ransomed souls, While dust to dust returneth.
