God in Human Flesh Appearing

Author: Philipp Friedrich Hiller; Matthias Loy Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: God, in human flesh appearing Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing, Took the children to His breast, Lambs with His green pastures cheering, Fitting for His heav'nly rest; This is gentleness unbounded, This is lowliness of heart; All are by His love surrounded, None are ever bid depart. 2 Lord, I bless Thy mercy endless, For Thy pleasure is to bless; Me, too, when my soul was friendless, Thou didst to Thy bosom press: For I, too, to Thee was given, In the pure baptismal wave, Thou hast made me heir of heaven, Who hast died my soul to save. 3 Feeble is the love of mother, Father's blessings are as naught, When compared, my King and Brother, With the wonders Thou hast wrought; Thus it pleased Thy heavenly meekness; Pleasing also be my praise, Till my songs of earthly weakness Burst into celestial lays. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Baptism; Sunday after New Year; Confirmation Scripture: Matthew 19:13 Used With Tune: JESUS ÄR MIN VÄN DEN BÄSTE

Thy heart, yet filled with peace and rest, With comfort and salvation Draws near to every breast. 5 Thou still in loving favor To us, thine own, art near, To lead us as our Saviour Unto a Father dear, A Father willing to forgive The children Thou didst ransom, Those who through Thee shall live. 6 We are Thine own forever; Until our latest breath Will we be true, and never In joy, in grief, in death, Depart from Thee, for Thou always Art present with Thy people, As Thine own promise says.

O Jesus Christ, Thou Bread of Life

Author: Johann Rist Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, thou Bread of Life, To sinners freely given Who of their evil ways repent, Cast out all earthly leaven, And graciously my heart prepare The Holy Supper now to share, With Thee in blest communion. 2 Deign to Thine altar, blessed Lord, By Thine own hand to lead me, There to renew Thy covenant, And with Thy gifts to feed me; O give me, in Thy flesh and blood, To taste and see that Thou are good; My soul refresh and quicken. 3 O give me strength to walk with Thee, And grace Thy steps to follow, Thus to fulfill the last of God, To Him my service hallow. Bless now Thy sacramental guest, Take Thine abode within my breast, And nevermore forsake me. 4 Cleanse me of all iniquity, Renew my heart within me; My soul so fully occupy That evil shall not win me. As Thou didst suffer on the cross, So teach Thy child to suffer loss, Through faith in Thee, my Saviour. 5 Thy grace, O God, I merit less Than strips of Thy chastising; In all my sins and dire distress I yet were agonizing, Save for the willing sacrifice Of Christ, who bought us with a price, And earned our full salvation. 6 Sore stricken, unto Thee I come, For grace and succor pleading, Mine eyes are blind; to Thee I turn For light and gentle leading. Whene'er I stumble, raise me up; When faint and famished, from Thy cup, Lord, tender me Thy healing! 7 Come, Saviour dear, with me abide, Thy love in me upwelling; O Holy Spirit, be my Guide, And make my heart Thy dwelling. In all my griefs my comfort be, Grant me that unity with Thee Which life nor death can sever. 8 Before Thy sacred table, Lord, My prayers grow faint and falter; Now make me worthy to partake The bounties of Thine altar. If one with Thee Thou make me there. I know that also I shall share With Thee the joy of heaven. Amen.

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness, We pray to Thee for grace; For pow'r to fight the battle, For speed to run the race; When Thy baptismal waters Were poured upon our brow, We then were made Thy children, And pledged our earliest vow. 2 We then were sealed and hallowed By Thy life-giving Word, Were made the Spirit's temples, And members of the Lord; With His own blood He bought us, And made the purchase sure; His are we: may He keep us Forever chaste and pure. 3 Conformed to His own likeness May we so live and die, That in the grave our bodies In holy peace may lie, And at the resurrection Forth from those graves may spring Like to the glorious body Of Christ, our Lord and King. 4 The pure in heart are blessèd, For they shall see the Lord Forever and forever By Seraphim adored; And they shall drink the pleasures, Such as no tongue can tell, From heaven' crystal river, And life's eternal well.
