Author: Henri Rossier Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal

Author: Caspar Ziegler Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord, we welcome Thee, Our hearts for joy are leaping. Thou, Jesus, dearest Child, Thy precious promise keeping, Art come from heav'n to earth To be our Brother dear; Thou, gracious Son of God, Wilt banish all our fear. 2 The mighty Son of God, His majesty concealing, Dwells with our fallen race To give us balm and healing. The everlasting God Descends from realms above, Becomes a winsome Child, Reveals His Father's love. 3 Ah, sweet and gentle name! It echoes far are sounding, It pierces hearts of stone And tells of love abounding. O Jesus, dearest Child, On Thee will we rely, And, calling on Thy name, We die not when we die. 4 To Thee alone we cling, For Thee all else forsaking; On Thee alone we build Tho' heav'n and earth be quaking. To Thee alone we live, In Thee alone we die; O Jesus, dearest Lord, With Thee we reign on high. Amen.

Lord, hear my supplication! In every evil hour Help me o’ercome temptation; And when the Prince of hell My conscience seeks to blot, Be Thou not far from me-- O God, forsake me not! 4 O God, forsake me not! Thy mercy I’m addressing; O Father, God of Love, Grant me Thy heavenly blessing To do the duty which To me Thou didst allot, To do what pleaseth Thee-- O God, forsake me not! 5 O God, forsake me not! Lord, I am Thine forever, Grant me true faith in Thee, Grant that I leave Thee never; Grant me a blessed end, When my good fight is fought, Help me in life and death-- O God, forsake me not!

Fischer Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herr Jesu, der du selbst Von Gott als Lehrer kommen Und, was du aus dem Schoss Des Vaters hast genommen, Den rechten Weg zu Gott Mit Wort und Werk gelehrt, Sei für dein Predigtamt Gelobt von deiner Herd’! 2 Du bist zwar in die Höh’ Zum Vater aufgefahren, Doch gibst du noch der Welt Dein Wort mit grossen Scharen Und baust durch diesen Dienst Die Kirche, deinen Leib, Dass er im Glauben wachs’ Und fest ans Ende bleib’. 3 Hab’ Dank für dieses Amt, Durch das man dich selbst höret, Das uns den Weg zu Gott Und die Versöhnung lehret, Durchs Evangelium Ein Häuflein in der Welt Berufet, sammelt, stärkt, Lehrt, tröstet und erhält! 4 Erhalt uns diesen Dienst Bis an das End’ der Erden, Und weil die Ernte gross, Gross’ Arbeit und Beschwerden, Send selbst Arbeiter aus Und mach sie klug und treu, Dass Feld und Sä’mann gut, Die Ernte reichlich sei! 5 Die du durch deinen Ruf Der Kirche hast gegeben, Erhalt bei reiner Lehr’ Und einem heil’gen Leben! Leg deinen Geist ins Herz, Das Wort in ihren Mund! Was jeder reden soll, Das gib du ihm zur Stund’! 6 Ach segne all dein Wort Mit Kraft an unsern Seelen! Lass deinen Schäflein nie An guter Weid’ es fehlen; Such das verirrte selbst, Bind das verwund’te zu, Das schlafende weck auf, Das müde bring zur Ruh’! 7 Bewahr vor Ketzerei, Vor Menschenlehr’ und Dünkel! Lehr uns nach deiner Art Im Tempel, nicht im Winkel! Behüt vor Ärgernis, Vor Spaltung, die uns trennt; Erhalte rein und ganz Dein Wort und Sakrament! 8 Bring, was noch draussen ist, Zu deiner kleinen Herde! Was drinnen ist, erhalt, Dass es gestärket werde! Dring durch mit deinem Wort, Bis einstens Hirt und Herd’ Im Glauben, Herr, an dich Zusammen selig werd’!

Thine arm, O Lord, of old

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Thine arm, O Lord, of old In lands of desolation, Enclosed an humble fold, Redeem'd a congregation: Our fathers, like a flock, The great, good Shepherd led, Gave water from the rock, With heavenly manna fed. A poor, afflicted race, But in Thy name confiding, They walk'd before Thy face, Thou in their midst abiding; 284 While Satan's fellest rage With patient faith they bore; Consumed from age to age, Till known on earth no more. Yet was a remnant saved; Still wrestling with affliction, Their foes they singly braved, Beneath Thy benediction: Again went forth the word, Abroad the Spirit flew; The voice of God was heard, Creating all things new. An hundred years are past, Since that revival glorious; And still Thy Church stands fast, O'er earth and hell victorious; The path our fathers trod, Lay through Gethsemane, Thither, O Lamb of God, This day we follow Thee. Thence borne to Calvary's brow, Thy griefs and sorrows viewing, With heart, soul, spirit, now Our covenant renewing: Thy love we here record, Our sins with tears bewail; Thy blood pleads for us, Lord; O let that plea prevail. Through suffering, shame, and loss, Through honour, wealth, and pleasure, 285 To glory in Thy Cross, As our eternal treasure; That Cross with joy to bear Through realms that know Thee not; And thus Thy way prepare, Still be Thy Brethren's lot.

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, seek the Lord today! Today He hath salvation. Approach Him while He may Still hear thy supplication. Repent and seek His grace. His call to thee doth sound; Oh turn to Him thy face While yet He may be found. 2 Behold the sun of grace So brightly on thee shineth; Oh, take with Christ thy place While He to thee inclineth. Perchance His summons may Ere long be sent to thee; Oh, turn to Him today, Let Him thy solace be. 3 There is salvation still For hearts contritely crying To Him whose gracious will Is now to save the dying. His grace doth beckon thee To seek thy Savior blest; Oh, hasten, swiftly flee Unto His blessed rest. 4 As in its mother's arm The child sweet comfort gaineth, So, shielding thee from harm, The Lord thy heart sustaineth, Oh, seek that sweet repose, Come unto Him and stay; Thy Savior now is close, Oh, come to Him today.
