O How Shall I Receive Thee?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 95 hymnals First Line: O how shall I receive Thee Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy Name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom; He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.

Author: Martin Opitz (1597-1639); Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of light, O Sun of heaven, O Thou bright and morning Star, To mankind in mercy given, Send Thy radiance from afar, Bringing light to all the earth, Health and strength, and joy and mirth; Darkness past, the dawn is breaking, All creation is awaking. 2 Still my soul is thickly shrouded In the chilling mist of sin, And my conscience is beclouded By the ignorance within. Lead me by the hand, I pray, Lest in error's path I stray; Make Thy light my sole attraction, Guiding every thought and action. 3 Spirit of the heavenly morning, Shine into my darkened heart, That, the way of life discerning, I may choose the better part. Make my erring walk secure, Every thought and action pure; Whereso'er my feet be turning, Keep Thy zeal within me burning. 4 Deign Thy feeble flock to strengthen By the bonds of sacred love, And Thy lines of empire lengthen By Thy power from above. Help us govern in Thy sight, That our laws be just and right; That we suffer no oppression, Make our land Thine own possession. 5 Let our lamp of faith be burning On that awful judgment day. While in sin's domain sojourning, Guide us in the heavenward way: Then their praise and thanks to Thee, Lord, in all eternity Shall Thy happy children render, For Thy mercies, kind and tender. Amen.

Chosen Seed and Zion's Children

Author: Andreas Carl Rutström, (1721-1772); Claude W. Foss Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chosen seed and Zion’s children, Ransomed from eternal wrath, Trav'ling to the heav'nly Canaan On a rough and thorny path; Church of God in Christ elected, Thou to God art reconciled, But on earth thou art a stranger, Persecuted and reviled. 2 Still rejoice amid thy trials, Nor regard thy lot amiss; For the kind and loving Saviour Is the source of all our bliss. May He ever be thy portion, He who gave thee life and breath: In His keeping fear no evil Now or in the hour of death. 3 Pleasantly thy lines have fallen Underneath the tree of life; For the Lord is thy salvation, And thy shield in all thy strife: Here the timid bird finds shelter, Here the sparrow finds a nest, Trembling fugitive a refuge, And the weary pilgrim rest. 4 And upon this blest foundation, Lord, our Lord, and Saviour King, May Thy Spirit e’er unite us, To it may we ever cling. May we, members of one body, Grow into a perfect whole; Grant, O Lord, that in Thy people There may be one heart and soul. Amen.

There above, and here below. 2 Bitter death for me He suffered: From all guilt He set me free; To His Father He hath offered Everlasting prayers for me. Who is he that would condemn me? Christ hath saved me by His grace; Who can from my Saviour draw me? I am safe in His embrace. 3 Now I am convinced that never Life or death can sever me From my blessèd Lord and Saviour; Present things, nor things to be, Height nor depth, nor fear nor favor, Naught that heaven or earth affords Makes the sacred promise waver: "Ye are Christ's, and He's the Lord's."
