Sirach’s Prayer for a Happy and Temperate Life

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #25 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 First Line: Creator, Father, Prince of might! Lyrics: Creator, Father, Prince of might! Who life to me art giving, Unless Thou guid’st my life aright In vain here am I living. For while I’m living, I am dead, To sin devoted ever; Whose life in mire of sin is led, The true life he hath never Beheld one moment even. Then turn on Thy poor child Thy face, In darkness do not leave me; That I may shun sin and disgrace, Good counsel ever give me! To keep my lips a guard, Lord, send, May no word ever leave them That e’er Thy people could offend Let nought I say e’er grieve them, Nor ever Thee dishonour! Forbid, Father! that mine ear Upon this earth so evil, Against Thy name and pow’r should hear The wicked rage and cavil. Let not the poison and the gall Of slanderers defile me; If I such filth should touch at all It surely would beguile me, Might e’en quite overthrow me. Lord, keep mine eyes, control their glance, May they work evil never; A bold and shameless countenance Keep Thou far from me ever! What’s honest, keeps due boundaries, What angels seek in heaven, What is well-pleasing in Thine eyes, For it by me be striven, All luxury disdaining. Oh! may I ne’er delighted be By revelling and eating; Be what Thou lov’st belov’d by me, Though others shun it, hating. The lusts wherein the flesh doth roll, To hell will draw us ever; The joys the world doth love, the soul And spirit will deliver To torment everlasting. Oh! happy he who eats heav’n’s bread, And heav’nly water drinketh, Who tastes nought else, nought else doth heed, Nought else desires, and thinketh Of that alone which strength can bring, The life we’ll live for ever With God, and with the hosts who sing His praise, in joy that never Shall know an interruption.

May God bestow on us His grace

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #29 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 May God bestow on us His grace, With blessings rich provide us, And may the brightness of His face To life eternal guide us; That we His gracious work may know, And what is His good pleasure, And also to the heathen show Christ's riches without measure, And unto God convert them. 2 To Thee let all the heathen bring Their joyful gratulations, And all the world rejoice and sing With psalms and acclamations; For Thou, O God, wilt judge the earth; Nor suffer sin to flourish: Thy land no more shall mourn her dearth, Thy word shall keep and nourish In righteous paths all people. 3 O let the people praise Thy worth, In all good works increasing; The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth, Thy word is rich in blessing. May God the Father, God the Son, And Holy Spirit, bless us: To whom by all be honor done! Let solemn awe possess us, Yea, fear Him, all ye people.

Our Savior To The Jordan Came

Author: H. Brueckner; Martin Luther Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #42 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Savior to the Jordan came, The Father's will obeying, And there by John was He baptized, His work no more delaying. He there vouchsafed a cleansing breath To free from sin's possession, To rescue us from bitter death And wash away transgression, New life in us creating. 2 So hear ye all and ponder well What God Himself installeth, What He would have us all believe. What He a washing calleth. That water at the font be used, Is surely His good pleasure, But with it go His holy Word and Spirit without measure; He is the true Baptizer. 3 To show us this with ample proof, Both words and signs are given. At Jordan's brink was plainly heard The Father's voice from heaven: This is my well beloved Son, In whom my soul delighteth; O hear ye Him when ev'ryone He to Himself inviteth; Obey His will and teaching. 4 The Son of God is also here, In tender manhood bending, And we behold the Spirit, too, In dove-like form descending. Thus are we strengthened in our faith, Which nevermore should waver. That Father, Son and Holy Ghost Are present at the laver, To make our hearts their dwelling. 5 He who rejects this wondrous grace, The Scripture disbelieving, Shall have his sins abide with him, In hell his place receiving. His outward deeds avail him naught, His holiness must vanish; His inborn sin all works annuls, God such a one must banish: Himself he cannot rescue. 6 To His disciples Jesus saith: Go, teach ye every nation: Man, lost in sin, must needs repent, To flee from condemnation. Baptized and having faith in Me, He shall be saved forever; A new-born man shall he be called, Whom naught from Me can sever; My Kingdom He inherits. 7 Blind sense but water sees and asks: Pray, how can water save us? But faith the blood of Christ beholds That here in truth doth lave us. It sees this fountain colored red That here for us is flowing. To purge us from our inborn sin And, every grace bestowing, From all misdeeds to free us. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: BAPTIZEIN

Author: Olaus Petri, 1497-1552 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #118 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Father, merciful and good, Who dost to Thee invite us, Oh! cleanse us in our Saviour's blood, And to Thyself unite us. Send unto us thy holy Word And let it guide us ever; Then in this world of darkness, Lord, Shall naught from Thee us sever: Grant us, O Lord, this favor! 2 We cry to Thee with one accord, 'Tis all that can avail us; For none doth hear and keep Thy Word, If Lord, Thy grace doth fail us. Consider then, we humbly pray, For our dear Saviour's merit. How Satan soweth tares alway, And send, O Lord, thy Spirit, That we may life inherit. 3 O God and man, Christ Jesus blest! Our sorrow thou didst carry. Our wants and cares Thou knowest best, For Thou with us didst tarry. O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear, To us and every nation Thy Spirit send, let Him draw near With truth and consolation, That we may see salvation. 4 Come, Holy Ghost, Thy grace impart, Tear Satan's snares asunder. The Word of God keep in our heart, And lead us safely yonder; Then, sanctified, for evermore, In Christ alone confiding, We'll sing His praise and Him adore; His precious Word us guiding To heavenly joys abiding!
