Straight is the gate to heaven above

Author: Lina Sandell Hymnal: LHPN1913 #423 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Straight is the gate to heaven above, And narrow is the way; Yet there is room in God's great love For thee, for thee alway, For thee, for thee alway. 2 In Paradise there still is room, There still is room for thee; For thee the Savior hath a home, Where heavenly mansions be, Where heavenly mansions be. 3 Though thousand times ten thousands stand White-robed in glory there, There is a place at God's right hand For thee in heaven so fair, For thee in heaven so fair. 4 In Jesus' heart there still is room, In heaven is room also, The gospel message bids thee come, Praise God who loves thee, too, Praise God who loves thee, too. 5 Now God be praised, who even me A glorious diadem Will grant when I His glory see In His Jerusalem, In His Jerusalem.

Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: LHPN1913 #424 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold, And let Thy pity waken! How few the flock within Thy fold, Neglected and forsaken! Men suffer not Thy Word to stand, And faith seems quenched on every hand Dark times have us o'ertaken. 2 With fraud which they themselves invent Thy truth they have confounded; Their hearts are not with one consent On Thy pure doctrine grounded; And, whilst they gleam with outward show, They lead Thy people to and fro, In error's maze astounded. 3 God surely will uproot all those Who with deceits now store us; with haughty tongue they God oppose, And say, "Who stands before us? By right or might we shall prevail; What we determine cannot fail, For who can lord it o'er us?" 4 Then saith our God: I will arise, These wolves My flock are rending; I've heard My people's bitter sighs To heaven, My throne, ascending: My saving Word shall fight And fearlessly and sharply smite, The poor with might defending. 5 As silver tried by fire is pure From all adulteration; So, through God's word, shall men endure Each trial and temptation: Its worth gleams brighter through the cross, And, purified from human dross, It shines through every nation. 6 Defend, O God, Thy truth, and stay This evil generation; And from the error of their way Keep Thine own congregation. The wicked everywhere abound, And would Thy little flock confound, Which, Lord, forbid them. Amen.

O that the Lord would guide my ways

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #425 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways, To keep His statutes still! O that my God would grant me grace, To know and do His will! 2 Order my footsteps by Thy word, And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear. 3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray, A stricter watch to keep; And should I e'er forget Thy way, Restore Thy wandering sheep. 4 Make me to walk in Thy commands; 'Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God.

Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, And all error overthrow. 3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me By the true and living way; Shield me from each strong temptation, That might lead my heart astray; And if e'er my feet should turn, For each error let me mourn. 4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within me perfect, Help me by Thy word so true, Arm me with that sword of Thine, And the victory shall be mine. 5 In the faith, O make me steadfast; Let not Satan, death, or shame, Of my confidence deprive me; Lord, my refuge is thy name. When the flesh inclines to ill, Let Thy word prove stronger still. 6 And when my last hour is nearing, O assure me ever more, As the chosen heir of heaven, Of that bliss for me in store. Greater far than voice can tell, There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker Hymnal: LHPN1913 #427 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide; Nor let Thy word, that heavenly light, For us be ever veiled in night. 2 While sin and death around we see, O grant that we may constant be; And pure retain, till life is spent, Thy precious word and sacrament. 3 Dear Savior, help, Thy Church uphold; For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold; Indue Tyy word with power and grace And spread its truth in every place. 4 Yes, leave us but Thy word, we pray; The fatal wiles of Satan stay; O smile upon Thy Church; give grace, Give courage, patience, love, and peace. 5 O God! how sin's dread works abound, Throughout the earth no rest is found; And wide has falsehood's spirit spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 And ever is there something new Devised to change Thy doctrine true; Lord Jesus! as Thou still dost reign, Those vain, presumptuous minds restrain; 7 And as the cause and glory, Lord, Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford Us help and strength and constancy, And keep us ever true to Thee. 8 Thy word shall fortify us hence, It is Thy Church's sure defense; O let us in its power confide, That we may seek no other guide. 9 Here on Thy Word in faith we lean There Thou shalt be forever seen; And when our journey endeth here, Receive us, Lord, in glory there.

Withhold not, Lord, the help I crave

Author: C. J. P. Spitta Hymnal: LHPN1913 #428 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.4.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Withhold not, Lord, the help I crave, Forsake not, nor forget me, For from the cradle to the grave A thousand foes beset me. Alas! Thy child, Deceived, beguiled, To guide himself unable, In devious ways Of error strays, Blind, feeble, and unstable. 2 To guard and keep me, never cease, From all that is defiling; Preserve me also from false peace, When life is smooth and smiling. Should dangers rise, And me surprise, And clouds around me gather, Teach me to pray, And childlike say "Help me, my God and Father!" 3 Let me throughout my life esteem Thy word as precious manna, And make Thy name my constant theme, My song and my Hosanna; Thy Son alone Thy gracious throne, Where I may find compassion; His precious blood My strength and food, And shield against temptation. 4 Then take not, Lord, Thy hand away, Withdraw not Thy protection, But grant me to the grave, I pray, Thy guidance and direction. At my last end I will commend To Thee my soul and spirit; Then shall I be, My God, with Thee, And endless joy inherit.

Ye servants of the Lord

Author: P. Doddridge Hymnal: LHPN1913 #429 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord, Each in His office wait, Observant of His heavenly word, And watchful at His gate. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins, as in His sight, For awful is His name. 3 Watch! 'tis your Lord's command; And while we speak, He's near. Mark the first signal of His hand, And ready all appear. 4 O happy servant he, In such a posture found! He shall His Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned. 5 Christ shall the banquet spread With His own bounteous hand, And raise that favorite servant's head Amidst th' angelic band.

Fast fades the day

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #430 (1913) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 First Line: O watch and pray Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray, And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Every thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclined, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming!

Thy life was given for me

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: LHPN1913 #431 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Thy life was given for me, Thy precious blood was shed; That I might ransomed be, And quickened from the dead. Thy life was given for me: What have I given for Thee? 2 Long years were spent for me In weariness and woe, That through eternity Thy glory I might know. Long years were spent for me: Have I spent one for Thee? 3 Thy Father's home of light, Thy rainbow-circled throne, Were left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. Yea, all was left for me: Have I left aught for Thee? 4 And Thou hast brought to me, Down from Thy home above, Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and Thy love. Great gifts Thou broughtest me: What have I brought to Thee? 5 O let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent, World-fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent! Thou gavest Thyself for me: I give myself for Thee. Topics: The Church Year Ninth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Ninth Sunday after Trinity Tune Title: [Thy life was given for me]

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays

Author: M. Medley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #432 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays And sing Thy great Redeemer’s praise; He justly claims a song from thee, His lovingkindness, O how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all; And saved me from my lost estate, His lovingkindness, O how great! 3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes; Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along. His lovingkindness, O how strong! 4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood, His lovingkindness, O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Savior to depart; But though I oft have Him forgot, His lovingkindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O may my last expiring breath His lovingkindness praise in death.
