O Jesus, Saviour Dear

Author: Johann Heermann, (1585-1647) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Saviour dear, How shall Thy Name be praised! Thy sacred table now Is spread with gifts most blessed. Within that holy cup Is healing for my soul; Thou art the Bread of Life, Broken to make me whole. 2 The burden of my sins Hast Thou in mercy taken; Thou touchest but my heart, And Christian graces waken. The feeble flame of faith Is quickened by Thy grace; My soul to peace restored, With Thee at hand to bless. 3 My Austere, Lord, Thou art, The Fount of every blessing; If Thou be in my heart, All else am I possessing. Be and abide with me, A constant Eucharist, Then death to me is life With Thee, O Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Bartholomäus Ringwaldt; Augustus Nelson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When He, the Lord's Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. No more the gospel call is heard To turn from sin and heed God's Word: The day of grace is ended. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound, And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken. But all that live shall in that hour, By the Almighty’s boundless power And at His word be changéd. 3 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word, And loved their earthly treasures, With shame and trembling they shall stand, And at the Judge's stern command Depart from Him forever. 4 O Christ, my Intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free With all who life inherit; That with my brethren I may stand With Thee in heaven, our fatherland, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 6 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, O hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way, In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee: Come, mighty Judge, come, make us free From every evil. Amen! Amen.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 2 Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great, Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See who bears the awful load! 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God. 3 Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost; Christ the Rock of our salvation: Christ the Name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. Amen.

O forgive, forgive my sin! Cleanse me, cleanse me, Lord, within!

Light of the Gentile Nations

Author: Johann Franck; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people’s joy and love, Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 O Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E’en now, in every place, Where Thy true Word hath promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith’s strong arms to bear Thee As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness, That shines ’mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross: A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith; Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee.
