O Word of might, two-edged sword, Arise and smite the nations, That they may know and fear the Lord! O gospel voice from heaven, Awake the hearts of men, That unto them be given To turn to God again. All ye who dwell in Zion, Hark to your Shepherd Lord, Who leads you to green pastures, And feeds you with His living Word! 2 Adorn thyself to meet Him, O Shulamite, O bride of Christ! Go gladly forth to greet Him, When of His coming now apprised! He for thy sin was given, And thou art sanctified. Behold, the Son of heaven Hath claimed thee for His bride! Give Him thy heart forever, Whose love shall never cease; Let no affliction sever The bonds of unity and peace! 3 O Lord, Thy Zion, thronging Thy holy temple, e'er shall raise, With hearts and tongues in rapture, To Thee their solemn prayer and praise! O let Thy Word in clearness A day-star o'er us shine, That we may feel Thy nearness, And bring forth fruit divine. Like sands from out the ocean, So let Thy people be, To voice our heart's devotion, And praise Thee through eternity. Amen.

The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord

It never faileth; such we need. A heavenly manna for our soul, Until we safely reach our goal. 6 Then blest is every worthy guest Who in this promise findeth rest, For Jesus will in love abide With those who do in Him confide. 7 O sinner, come with true intent To turn to God and to repent, To live for Christ, to die to sin, And thus a holy life begin. 8 Who does unworthy here appear, Does not believe, nor is sincere, Salvation here will never find. May we this warning bear in mind. 9 O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear, Unto Thy cross we now draw near; Thy sacred wounds indeed make whole A wounded and afflicted soul. 10 Help us sincerely to believe That we Thy mercy do receive, And in Thy grace do find our rest, Amen. He who believes is blest. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: MEIN SEEL, O HERR, MUSS LOBEN DICH
