In Thee alone, O Christ, my Lord

Author: J. Schneesing Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.4.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Thee alone, O Christ, my Lord, My hope on earth remaineth; I know Thou wilt Thine aid afford, Naught else my soul sustaineth. No strength of man, no earthly stay, Can help us in the evil day; Thou, only Thou, canst aid supply. To Thee I cry, On Thee I bid my heart rely. 2 My sins a heavy burden rise,; I mourn them with contrition; Grant, through Thy death and sacrifice, To me a full remission! Lord, show before the Father’s throne That Thou didst for my sins atone So shall I from my load be freed, Thy word I plead Keep me, O Lord, each hour of need. 3 O Lord, in mercy stay my heart On faith’s most sure foundation, And to my inmost soul impart Thy perfect consolation. My life be love supreme to Thee,-- To all men with sincerity; And at the last, when comes my end, Thy succor send, From Satan’s wiles my soul defend.

As after the water-brooks panteth

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As after the water-brooks panteth The hart, when it sinks in the chase, So thirsteth my soul, as it fainteth, For Thee, O my God, and thy grace; For Thou art the fount everliving, Who unto the thirsty art giving The water of life that I need. 2 By day and by night in her anguish My soul is lamenting in woe: O Lord, in my grief I must languish, No counsel, no help do I know; When shall I Thy mercy awaken? When shall I, the poor and forsaken, Before Thee appear, O my God? 3 Great fears now my bosom are rending, For near the abyss I am brought, My way on the brink I am wending, My journey with peril is fraught; I faint, I see terrors appalling, And into the deep I am falling- O hearken, O Lord, to my cries! 4 Thou, Thou art my rock of salvation, My house I have built upon Thee; O if Thou shouldst fail as foundation, My ruin it surely would be; Lord, deep unto deep now is calling, Thy waves and Thy billows appalling Arise to go over my soul. 6 When others sing anthems of gladness, And offer thanksgiving and praise, I sit in the gloom of my sadness And hear not the anthems they raise; My song is the voice of my sighing, The festal days pass in my crying-- I languish in grief and in woe. 6 Why art thou disquiet within me? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Confide in thy God, let Him win thee! Still hope in thy God, Him extol! For surely once dawneth a morrow, When, freed from thy care and thy sorrow, Thou praises shalt sing to thy God. 7 His light and His truth, they shall lead me In peace to His temple at last; I rest on His word, He will speed me, And conflict and sorrow are past; Yea, joyful I anthems will raise Him, With heart and with voice will I praise Him-- My health and my life and my God.

Life's day is ended

Author: H. A. Brorson Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Life's day is ended, The battle fought and won; With joy unblended I greet the set of sun. My soul, now rest thee Forever, tired of earth; At last divest thee Of buckler, shield, and girth: Arise, and hast thee To heavenly glories forth. 2 My pathway, leading Through realms of tears and pain, I see receding, And ne'er shall tread again. Life's stern endeavor, That set my soul aglow, So that I never A moment's rest did know, Shall cease forever, And God the prize bestow. 3 My shield remaineth, The warfare now is o'er; My heart maintaineth Its trust in God secure. I hard contended For faith both day and night; The foe intended To break its saving might, But now hath ended That tempter's losing fight. 4 Hence Christ in heaven Did me a crown prepare, Which shall be given not only me to wear, But whomsoever, The lowliest and the best, Who doth endeavor To serve his Savior blest, And so forever Shall be his worthy guest. 5 Now, world, I leave thee, And bid a last farewell, Content, believe me, Hence in the grave to dwell. Let flesh that faileth Return again to clay, Where woe prevaileth, With trials day by day, What now assaileth I meet without dismay. 6 All praise and honor, Now and forevermore, Be our Atoner, That for us death He bore; Him, bleeding, dying, Who kept me at His right, When days were trying, I hold before my sight; In His wounds lying At rest, I bid good night.

Author: G. Thymus Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us! Lay down Thy rod and let Thy love upbear us!

Pardon our sins, we mourn them with contrition, Thou who desirest not the sinner's dying, Grace art supplying. 4 Our frame remember, Thou who life bestowest, We are but dust, this thou, O Father, knowest, Subject to death we are from life's beginning, For we are sinning. 5 Look to Thy Son's most bitter death and passion, Who on the cross did purchase our salvation, When from His wounds His blood was freely streaming, The world redeeming. 6 Therefore, O Father, through Thy dear Son's merit, Spare us and let us grace through Him inherit, That we in heaven with Thee, of life the giver, May live forever.

In this our happy Christmastide

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In this our happy Christmastide The joyful bells are ringing; To praise be all our powers applied, God's grace and mercy singing; In Him by whom the world was made, Now in the lowly manger laid, Rejoice we in the spirit; Thy praise, O Savior, we will sound Unto the earth's remotest bound, That all the world shall hear it. 2 A little Son, the virgin-born, True God from everlasting To rescue us who were forlorn, His lot with us is casting; It moved His tender heart to see This world of sin and misery In condemnation lying; Therefore He came from realms above Down to our earth, drawn by His love, To sooth our grief and sighing. 3 Our thanks we offer Him today, Hallelujah! our joyful lay, Shall sound through every nation; Now in our camp the Ark we see, Therefore we shout the victory With joyful hearts unfearing; We sing of peace, the peace profound, That hell shall tremble at the sound, Our Christmas anthem hearing. 4 That God has laid His anger by, He by His gift hath shown us; He gives His Son for us to die, In Him He now doth own us; These joyful tidings tell abroad, That Jesus Christ, the Son of God, From sin doth us deliver; Who then should not be glad today When Christ is born, the sinners' stay, Who is of grace the giver? 5 As darkest night must fade and die Before the sun's appearing, So fades my grief away, when I Think on these tidings cheering, That God from all eternity Hath loved the world, and hath on me Bestowed His grace and favor; I'll ne'er forget the angels' strain: Peace--peace on earth, good will to men, To you is born a Savior! 6 Although my joyful Christmas lay Is mingled with my sighing, The cross shall never take away My joy and praise undying; For when the heart is most opprest, The harp of joy is tuned the best, The better strains are ringing, The cross itself, at Jesus' will, Must aid my soul, that I may still In grief His praise by singing. 8 Hallelujah! our strife is o'er, Who, then, should pine in sadness? Who now should grieve in anguish sore In these our days of gladness? Thou Church of God, O sing this morn: To us is Christ the Savior born, O joy that none can sever! Hallelujah! sing thou my heart, Now Christ is mine, I can depart To be with Him for ever. Topics: The Church Year Christmas; The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: [In this our happy Christmastide]
