My heart doth overflow

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My heart doth overflow, A goodly theme is mine; My eager tongue with joyful song Doth praise the King divine. Supremely fair thou art, Thy lips with grace o'erflow; His richest blessings evermore Doth God on thee bestow. 2 Now gird thee with thy sword, O strong and mighty One, In splendid majesty arrayed, More glorious than the sun. Triumphantly ride forth For meekness, truth, and right; Thine arm shall gain the victory In wondrous deeds of might. 3 Thy strength shall overcome All those that hate the King, And under thy dominion strong The nations thou shalt bring. Thy royal throne, O God, For evermore shall stand; Eternal truth and justice wield The sceptre in thy hand. 4 Since thou art sinless found, The Lord, thy God confessed, Anointeth thee with perfect joy, Thou art supremely blessed. Thy garments breathe of myrrh And spices sweet and rare; Glad strains of heav'nly music ring Throughout thy palace fair. 5 Amid thy glorious train Kings' daughters waiting stand, And fairest gems bedeck thy bride, The queen at thy right hand. O royal bride, give heed, And to my words attend; For Christ, the King, forsake the world And ev'ry former friend. Amen.

From depths of woe I raise to thee

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I raise to thee The voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me And hear my supplication: If thou iniquities dost mark, Our secret sins and misdeeds dark, O who shall stand before thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, Grace, grace alone availeth; Our works, alas! are all in vain; In much the best life faileth: No man can glory in thy sight, All must alike confess thy might, And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; On him my soul shall rest, his Word Upholds my fainting spirit: His promised mercy is my fort, My comfort and my sweet support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the livelong night, And till the dawn appeareth, My heart still trusteth in his might; It doubteth not nor feareth: Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed; And wait till God appeareth. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is he, Who will at last his Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Amen.
