O Lord, How Shall I Meet You

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #331 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you, how welcome you aright? Your people long to greet you, my hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, your lamp within my breast, to do in spirit lowly all that may please you best. 2 Love caused your incarnation; love brought you down to me; your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, that led you to embrace in love, all love excelling, our lost and fallen race. 3 You come, O Lord, with gladness, in mercy and goodwill, to bring an end to sadness and bid our fears be still. In patient expectation we live for that great day when a renewed creation your glory shall display.

Arise, O heirs of glory: the Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; arise, O Sun so longed for, above this darkened sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, we plead, O Lord, to see the day of earth's redemption that sets your people free!

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1090-1153; P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #334 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown. O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss, till now was Thine; Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 3 Now from Thy cheeks has vanished Their color, once so fair; From Thy red lips is banished The splendor that was there. Grim death, with cruel rigor, Hath robbed Thee of Thy life; Thus Thou has lost Thy vigor, Thy strength, in this sad strife. 5 My Shepherd, now receive me! My Guardian, own me Thine! Great blessings Thou didst give me, O Source of gifts divine! Thy lips have often fed me With milk and sweetest food; Thy Spirit oft has led me To stores of heav'nly good. 7 The joy can ne'er be spoken, Above all joys beside, When in Thy body broken I thus with safety hide. O Lord of life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside Thy cross expiring, I'd breathe my soul to Thee. 9 And when I am departing, O part not Thou from me; When mortal pangs are darting, Come, Lord, and set me free; And when my heart must languish Amidst the final throe, Release me from mine anguish By Thine own pain and woe.

O Lord, How Shall I Meet You

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #334 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet You, How welcome You aright? Your people long to greet You, My hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Your lamp within my breast To do in spirit lowly All that may please You best. 2 Your Zion strews before You Green boughs and fairest palms; And I too will adore You With joyous songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For You with praises new And from Your name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 I lay in fetters, groaning; You came to set me free. I stood, my shame bemoaning; You came to honor me. A glorious crown You give me, A treasure safe on high That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Your incarnation; Love brought You down to me. Your thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling, That led You to embrace In love, all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race. 5 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, Cannot His love erase; Your guilt the Lord will pardon And cover by His grace. He comes, for you procuring The peace of sin forgiv'n, His children thus securing Eternal life in heav'n. 6 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A light of consolations And blessèd hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Your beams so cheering, And guide us safely home. Scripture: Matthew 21:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #335 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 2 Men mock and taunt and jeer Thee, Thou noble face of Christ; Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee How art Thou now despised? How art thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How doth Thy face now languish That once was bright as morn! 4 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain: Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 6 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me thine forever! And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never, Outlive my love for Thee. 8 Be Thou my consolation, My Shield when I must die; Remind me of Thy Passion When my last hour draws nigh. Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfold Thee. Who dieth thus dies well!

O Word of God Incarnate

Author: William W. How, 1823-97 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #335 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: We praise you for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from you, dear Master, Received the gift divine; And still that light is lifted O'er all the earth to shine. It is the chart and compass That, all life's voyage through, Mid mists and rocks and quicksands Still guides, O Christ, to you. 3 Oh, make your Church, dear Savior, A lamp of burnished gold To bear before the nations Your true light as of old! Oh, teach your wand'ring pilgrims By this their path to trace Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see you face to face!

O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that has no ending, Of love that cannot cease. 2 "Come unto me, ye wand'rers, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But thou hast brought us gladness And songs at break of day. 3 "Come unto me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife! The foe is stern and eager; The fight is fierce and long; But thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh, I will not cast him out." O patient love of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt, Which, though we be unworthy Of love so great and free, Invites us very sinners To come, dear Lord, to thee!
