Author: V. Herberger, 1562-1627; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #535 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Farewell I gladly bid thee, False, evil world, farewell. Thy life is vain and sinful, With thee I would not dwell. I long to be in heaven, In that untroubled sphere Where they will be rewarded Who served their God while here. 2 By Thy good counsel lead me, O Son of God, my Stay; In each perplexing trial Help me, O Lord, I pray. Mine hour of sorrow shorten, Support my fainting heart, From ev'ry cross deliver, The crown of life impart. 3 When darkness round me gathers, Thy name and cross, still bright, Deep in my heart are sparkling Like stars in blackest night. O heart, this image cherish: The Christ on Calvary, How patiently He suffered And shed His blood for me! 4 Lord, hide my soul securely Deep in Thy wounded side; From ev'ry danger shield me And to Thy glory guide. He has been truly blessed Who reaches heav'n above; He has found perfect healing Who rests upon Thy love. 5 Lord, write my name, I pray Thee, Now in the Book of Life, And with all true believers Take me where joys are rife. There let me bloom and flourish, Thy perfect freedom prove, And tell, as I adore Thee, How faithful was Thy love.

O sacred head, surrounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #535 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, surrounded by crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding head, so wounded, so shamed and put to scorn! Death's pallid hue comes o'er thee, the glow of life decays; yet angel-hosts adore thee, and tremble as they gaze. 2 Thy comeliness and vigour is withered up and gone, and in thy wasted figure I see death drawing on. O agony and dying! O love to sinners free! Jesu, all grace supplying, turn thou thy face on me. 3 In this thy bitter passion, good Shepherd, think of me with thy most sweet compassion, unworthy though I be: beneath thy cross abiding for ever would I rest, in thy dear love confiding, and with thy presence blest.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #538 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the Word. From heav'n he came and sought her To be his holy bride; With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, Yet one o'er all the earth; Her charter of salvation: One Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With ev'ry grace endued. 3 The Church shall never perish. Her dear Lord, to defend, To guide, sustain, and cherish, Is with her to the end. Though there be those that hate her And strive to see her fail, Against both foe and traitor She ever shall prevail. 4 Though with a scornful wonder The world sees her oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping; Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 5 Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

O Jesus, I have promised

Author: J. E. Bode, 1816-1874 Hymnal: Common Praise #538 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end; be thou for ever near me, my Master and my Friend: I shall not fear the battle if thou art by my side, nor wander from the pathway if thou wilt be my guide. *2 O let me feel thee near me: the world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear; my foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, draw thou nearer, and shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear thee speaking in accents clear and still above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will; O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, thou guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, thou hast promised to all who follow thee, that where thou art in glory there shall thy servant be; and, Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end: O give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend. 5 O let me see thy foot-marks, and in them plant mine own; my hope to follow duly is in thy strength alone: O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end; and then in heaven receive me, my Saviour and my Friend.

Christ Is the World's Redeemer

Author: Columba, 521-97; Duncan MacGregor, 1854-1923 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #539 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Christ is the world’s Redeemer, The lover of the pure, The font of heav'nly wisdom, Our trust and hope secure, The armor of His soldiers, The Lord of earth and sky, Our health while we are living, Our life when we shall die. 2 Christ has our host surrounded With clouds of martyrs bright, Who wave their palms in triumph And fire us for the fight. This Christ the cross ascended To save a world undone And, suff'ring for the sinful, Our full redemption won. 3 Down in the realm of darkness He strode in victory, And at the hour appointed He rose triumphantly. And now, to heav'n ascended, He sits upon the throne Whence He had ne'er departed, His Father's and His own. 4 Glory to God the Father, The unbegotten One, All honor be to Jesus, His sole begotten Son, And to the Holy Spirit-- The perfect Trinity. Let all the worlds give answer: Amen! So let it be. Topics: Redeemer Scripture: Acts 2:21-36 Languages: English Tune Title: MOVILLE
