Eternal Son of God, O Thou

Author: A. J. Rambach Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of prayer and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see; Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou,our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 Praise to the Father, and the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One; Blest Trinity whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.

O God, renew, with heavenly dew, Our body, soul, and spirit, Until we stand at Thy right hand, Through Jesus' saving merit.

Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus

Author: Ludämilie Elisabeth of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus, Can my heartfelt longing still; See, I pledge myself to Jesus, What He wills, alone to will. For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One there is for whom I'm living, Whom I love most tenderly; Jesus, unto whom I'm given, What in love He gave to me, Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lead me, Lord, then, as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dangerous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that I may e'er endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, On Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st Thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing That I now sing joyfully: Be it unto me, my shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.

Lo, the Gentiles hail Thy waking; Herald of a morn divine, See the Day-spring o’er us breaking, Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 O how blindly we did stray, Ere this sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our 'wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But the Day-spring from on high Hath aris'n with beams unclouded, And we see before it fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o’er all below. 4 Thy appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thine appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Whether joys or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun, For Thou art its light and gladness, For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light.

Like the golden sun ascending

Author: T. Kingo Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Like the golden sun ascending, Breaking through the gloom of night, On the earth his glory spending So that darkness takes to flight; Thus my Jesus from the grave And death's dismal, dreadful cave, Rose triumphant Easter morning, At the early purple dawning. 2 Thanks to Thee, O Christ victorious! Thanks to Thee, O Lord of life! Death hath now no power o'er us, Thou hast conquered in the strife; Thanks because Thou didst arise, And hast opened Paradise! None can fully sing the glory Of the resurrection story. 3 For my heart finds consolation, And my fainting soul grows brave, When I stand in contemplation At Thy dark and dismal grave; When I see where Thou didst sleep, In death's dungeon dark and deep, Yet didst break all bands asunder, Must I not rejoice and wonder? 4 Though I be by sin o'ertaken, Though I lie in helplessness, Though I be by friends forsaken, And must suffer sore distress, Though I be despised, contemned, And by all the world condemned, Though the dark grave yawn before me, Yet the light of hope shines o'er me. 5 Thou hast died for my transgression, All my sins on Thee were laid; Thou hast won for me salvation, On the cross my debt was paid; From the grave I shall arise, And shall meet Thee in the skies; Death itself is transitory, I shall lift my head in glory. 6 Satan's arrows all lie broke, Death and hell have met their doom; Christ, Thy rising is the token: Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; Thou hast buried all my woe, And my cup doth overflow; By Thy resurrection glorious I shall wave my palms victorious. 7 As the Son of God I know Thee, For I see Thy sovereign power; Sin and death shall not o'erthrow me Even in my dying hour; For Thy resurrection is Surety for my heavenly bliss, And my baptism a reflection Of Thy death and resurrection. 8 Unto life Thou shalt arouse me By Thy resurrection's power; Though the hideous grave shall house me, And my flesh the worms devour; Fire and water may destroy My frail body, yet with joy I shall rise as Thou hast risen From the deep sepulchral prison. 9 Grant me grace, O blessed Savior, And Thy Holy Spirit send, That my walk and my behavior May be pleasing to the end; That I may not fall again Into death's grim pit and pain, Whence by grace Thou hast retrieved me And from which Thou hast relieved me. 10 For the joy Thy birth doth give me, For Thy holy, precious word; For Thy baptism which doth save me, For Thy gracious festal board; For Thy death, the bitter scorn, For Thy resurrection morn, Lord, I thank Thee and extol Thee, And in heaven I shall behold Thee.

How blesséd from the bonds of sin

Author: C.J.P. Spitta Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blessèd, from the bonds of sin And earthly fetters free, In singleness of heart and aim, Thy servant, Lord, to be! The hardest toil to undertake With joy at Thy command, The meanest office to receive With meekness at Thy hand! 2 With willing heart and longing eyes To watch before Thy gate, Ready to run the weary race, To bear the heavy weight; No voice of thunder to expect, But follow calm and still, For love can easily divine The One Beloved’s will. 3 Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord! Thus ever Thine alone, My soul and body given to Thee, The purchase Thou hast won; Through evil or through good report Still keeping by Thy side, And by my life or by my death Let Christ be magnified! 4 How happily the working days In this dear service fly! How rapidly the closing hour, The time of rest, draws nigh! When all the faithful gather home, A joyful company, And ever where the Master is, Shall His blest servants be.
