Thy Scepter, Jesus, Shall Extend

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Claude W. Foss Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy scepter, Jesus, shall extend As far as day prevaileth; Thy glorious kingdom, without end, Shall stand when all else faileth; Thy blessed Name shall be confessed, And round Thy cross, forever blest, Shall kings and people gather. 2 The child when born to Thee we take, To Thee in death we hasten; In joy we often Thee forsake, But not when sorrows chasten. Where truth and virtue are oppressed, Where sorrow dwells, pain and unrest, Thy help alone availeth. 3 Come, Jesus, then, in weal and woe, In life and death be near us; Thy grace upon our hearts bestow, And let Thy Spirit cheer us, For every conflict strength afford, And gather us in peace, O Lord, When all the world Thou judgest. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Kingdom of Christ; Missions Foreign Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT

Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me Thine alone forever! Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Repentance Used With Tune: HERR, ICH HABE MISSGEHANDELT.
