Preface
Wherever Christians gather together to worship and praise God, we sing songs—songs that
express our guilt due to sin, our contrition and confession, and our faith, hope and joy of God’s
grace and salvation. Throughout history Christians have joined together in singing hymns of
praise to a loving God. Lutherans in particular are blessed with a great heritage of Christian
music. The Lutheran hymnals commonly used in our American churches today are truly a
blessing from our Lord.
The goal of A Collection of Lutheran Music is to help Christians praise God with music and song,
and to increase the number of people who can enjoy listening to and playing this cherished music
themselves.
Products
The Collection offers many unique products, including:
• Hymn sheet music with piano and guitar chords;

• Large print hymn sheet music for the seeing impaired;
• Hymn lyrics for slide presentations by stanza;
• Hymn music played on a brilliant-sounding pipe organ (midi, MP3 formats, audio CDs);
• Sing-Along hymn videos synchronizing music with lyrics (SWF format and video DVDs);
• Hymnal concordances for scholarly study of hymn lyrics;
Full descriptions of these products and media formats are available at Lutheran Music’s web site,
www.LutheranMusic.com.
Intended Use
Our products appeal to a large audience of amateur and professional church musicians, as well as
pastors, teachers, congregation, schools and families in the home. Pastors and teachers appreciate
the ease of playing melodies on their computers while they prepare sermons and class materials.
When an organist is not available, the music and video products may be used to lead a small
group or congregation in hymn singing for a worship service. Children who are learning to play
band instruments can use the transposed editions to play along with an organ or piano without the
difficulty of transposing “on-the-fly”. Families can join together and sing their favorite hymns in
their homes. Visits to shut-ins, nursing homes and fellowship activities can be enhanced with
familiar music from our hymnals.
Hymnal Editions
The Collection is available in seven, hymnal-specific editions. The hymnal-specific editions are
based on the following widely-used Lutheran hymnals:
• Christian Worship: A Lutheran Hymnal (Northwestern Publishing House, 1993) [CW]

• Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary (Morning Star Music Publishers, 1996) [ELH]
• Evangelical Lutheran Worship (Augsburg Fortress, 2006) [ELW]
• Lutheran Book of Worship (Augsburg Publishing House, 1978) [LBW]
• Lutheran Service Book (Concordia Publishing House, 2006) [LSB]
• Lutheran Worship (Concordia Publishing House, 1982) [LW]
• The Lutheran Hymnal (Concordia Publishing House, 1941) [TLH]
Large Print Sheet Music Features

Our large print sheet music for the seeing impaired offers the following outstanding features for
the public domain hymns found in each hymnal:
• Hymn lyrics are provided in large size fonts approximately twice the size printed in the
pew hymnals;
• Simplified hymn melodies are provided on a single treble clef stave with large notes for
easier reading;
• Printed pages of stanzas and lyrics are landscape format and are grouped optimally to
minimize page turns, allowing less dexterous worshippers to more conveniently participate
in singing and worship.
Copyrights
While preparing A Collection of Lutheran Music for publication every effort has been made to
respect the intellectual property rights of the tune and lyrics copyright holders. All existing
editions of the Collection are abridged in the sense that the tunes and lyrics under copyright
protection have been omitted. Often, their place in the Collection has been reserved with a
placeholder for clarity.
All original work contained in A Collection of Lutheran Music is the intellectual property of the
editor and composer, Mr. Donald L. Vossler. Printed materials, electronic computer files,
CDs/DVDs, and web pages may not be copied or redistributed, except for personal use by the
purchaser. Notwithstanding the above copyright restriction, Lutheran Music allows usage of our
copyrighted materials in support of worship services and other fellowship activities as long as
copies of the materials are not unreasonably proliferated.
“Music is an outstanding gift of God and next to theology … I would not give up
my slight knowledge of music for a great consideration … and youth should be
taught this art … for it makes fine skillful people … I would certainly like to
praise music with all my heart as the excellent gift of God which it is and to
commend it to everyone.”
Dedicated to the glory of Christ,

And we must hymns of wel come sing In strains of ho ly joy.

The sinful self be put away, With Father, Spirit, ever one
The new self now put on. Through all eternity.

A glorious crown You give me, He comes, for you procuring
A treasure safe on high The peace of sin forgiv’n.

As earthly riches fly. Eternal life in heav’n.
4 Love caused Your incarnation; 6 He comes to judge the nations,
Love bought You down to me. A terror to His foes,
Your thirst for my salvation A light of consolations
Procured my liberty. And blessed hope to those
Oh, love beyond all telling, Who love the Lord’s appearing.
That led You to embrace O glorious Sun, now come,
In love, all love excelling, Send forth Your beams so cheering,
Our lost and fallen race. And guide us safely home.

Prepared by God for all below,
That in His kingdom, bright and fair,
You may with us His glory share.
5 “These are the signs that you shall mark:
The swaddling clothes and manger dark.
There you will find the infant laid
By whom the heav’ns and earth were made.”
6 How glad we’ll be to find it so!
Then with the shepherds let us go
To see what God for us has done
In sending us His own dear Son.
7 Come here, my friends, lift up your eyes,
And see what in the manger lies.
Who is this child, so young and fair?
It is the Christ Child lying there.
8 Welcome to earth, O noble Guest,
Through whom the sinful world is blest!
You came to share my misery
That You might share Your joy with me.
9 Ah, Lord, though You created all,
How weak You are, so poor and small,
That You should choose to lay Your head
Where lowly cattle lately fed!
3
10 Were earth a thousand times as fair
And set with gold and jewels rare,
It would be far too poor and small
A cradle for the Lord of all.
11 Instead of soft and silken stuff
You have but hay and straw so rough
On which as King, so rich and great,
To be enthroned in royal state.
12 And so it pleases You to see
This simple truth revealed to me:
That worldly honor, wealth, and might
Are weak and worthless in Your sight.
13 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy child,
Prepare a bed, soft, undefiled,
A quiet chamber set apart
For You to dwell within my heart.
14 My heart for very joy must leap;
My lips no more can silence keep.
I, too, must sing with joyful tongue
That sweetest ancient cradlesong:
15 Glory to God in highest heav’n,
Who unto us His Son has giv’n!
While angels sing with pious mirth
A glad new year to all the earth.

By care and guilt bent low, By prophets seen of old,
Who toil along a dreary way When down into the circling years
With painful steps and slow; Came Christ as was foretold.
Look up, for golden is the hour, His word of peace shall to the earth
Come swiftly on the wing, God’s ancient promise bring,
The Prince was born to bring you peace; And all who take this gift will hear
Of Him the angels sing. The song the angels sing.

Manifest in pow’r divine, All will then the trumpet hear,
Changing water into wine; All will see the Judge appear;

Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Present in Thy holy Word—
Manifest in valiant fight, Grace to imitate Thee now
Quelling all the devil’s might; And be pure, as pure art Thou;
Manifest in gracious will, That we might become like Thee
Ever bringing good from ill; At Thy great epiphany
Anthems be to Thee addressed, And may praise Thee, ever blest,

By the gloom that veiled the skies O, from earth to heav’n restored,
O’er the dreadful sacrifice, Mighty, reascended Lord,
Listen to our humble sigh; Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear our penitential cry! Hear our penitential cry!

2 Thou, ah! Thou, hast taken on Thee
Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod;
Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee,
O Thou sinless Son of God!
Thus didst Thou my soul deliver
From the bonds of sin forever.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
3 Thou hast borne the smiting only
That my wounds might all be whole;
Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely,
Rest to give my weary soul;
Yea, the curse of God enduring,
Blessing unto me securing.
4 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee,
Treating Thee with cruel scorn
And with piercing thorns they crowned Thee.
All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne,
That as Thine Thou mightest own me
And with heav’nly glory crown me.

3
5 Thou hast suffered me to bruise Thee
That from pain I might be free;
Falsely did Thy foes accuse thee;
Thence I gain security.
Comfortless Thy soul did languish
Me to comfort in my anguish.
6 Thou has suffered great affliction
And hast borne it patiently,
Even death by crucifixion,
Fully to atone for me.
Thou didst choose to be tormented
That my doom should be prevented.
7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon,
For Thy sorrows deep and sore,
For Thine anguish in the Garden,
I will thank Thee evermore,
Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing,
For Thy bleeding and Thy dying,
For that last triumphant cry,
And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

With seductive, sinful vices, Knowing death has lost his power
Let me think about the load Since You crushed him in the dust.

And to master each temptation, When I die by my protection,
Calm in prayer and meditation. Light and life and resurrection.

still de cry Thee; They cru ci fy Thee.

3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish?

It is my sins for which Thou, Lord, must languish;
Yea, all the wrath, the woe, Thou dost inherit,
This I do merit.
4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder!
The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander;
The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him,
Who would not know Him.
5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness;
The sinful child of man may live in gladness;
Man forfeited his life and is acquitted;
God is committed!
6 There was no spot in me by sin untainted;
Sick with sin’s poison, all my heart had fainted;
My heavy guilt to hell had well–nigh brought me,
Such woe it wrought me.
7 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded,
That brought Thee here, by foes and thieves surrounded!
All worldly pleasures, heedless, I was trying
While Thou wert dying.

3
8 O mighty King, no time can dim Thy glory!
How shall I spread abroad Thy wondrous story?
How shall I find some worthy gifts to proffer?
What dare I offer?
9 For vainly doth our human wisdom ponder—
Thy woes, Thy mercy, still transcend our wonder.
Oh, how should I do aught that could delight Thee!
Can I requite Thee?
10 Yet unrequited, Lord, I would not leave Thee;
I will renounce whate’er doth vex or grieve Thee
And quench with thoughts of Thee and prayers most lowly
All fires unholy.
11 But since my strength will nevermore suffice me
To crucify desires that still entice me,
To all good deeds O let Thy Spirit win me
And reign within me!
12 I’ll think upon Thy mercy without ceasing,
That earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing;
To do Thy will shall be my sole endeavor
Henceforth forever.

4
13 Whate’er of earthly good this life may grant me,
I’ll risk for Thee; no shame, no cross, shall daunt me.
I shall not fear what foes can do to harm me
Nor death alarm me.
14 But worthless is my sacrifice, I own it;
Yet, Lord, for love’s sake Thou wilt not disown it;
Thou wilt accept my gift in Thy great meekness
Nor shame my weakness.
15 And when, dear Lord, before Thy throne in heaven
To me the crown of joy at last is given,
Where sweetest hymns Thy saints forever raise Thee,
I, too, shall praise Thee!

4 Grant that I Your Passion view 6 Graciously my faith renew;
With repentant grieving. Help me bear my crosses,
Let me not bring shame to You Learning humbleness from You,
By unholy living. Peace mid pain and losses.
How could I refuse to shun May I give You love for love!
Ev’ry sinful pleasure Hear me, O my Savior,
Since for me God’s only Son That I may in heav’n above
Suffered without measure? Sing Your praise forever.

KINGSFOLD CM D

1 No tramp of sol diers’ march ing feet With ban ners and with drums,
2 And yet He comes. The chil dren cheer; With palms His path is strown.

No sound of mu sic’s mar tial beat: “The King of glo ry comes!”
With ev’ ry step the cross draws near; The King of glo ry’s throne.

To greet what pomp of king ly pride No bells in tri umph ring,

A stride a colt He pass es by As loud ho san nas ring,

No cit y gates swing o pen wide: “Be hold, be hold your King!”
Or else the ver y stones would cry “Be hold, be hold your King!”

2
3 What fading flow’rs His road adorn; 4 Now He who bore for mortals’ sake
The palms, how soon laid down! The cross and all its pains
No bloom or leaf but only thorn And chose a servant’s form to take,
The King of glory’s crown. The King of glory reigns.
The soldiers mock, the rabble cries, Hosanna to the Savior’s name
The streets with tumult ring, Till heaven’s rafters ring,
As Pilate to the mob replies, And all the ransomed host proclaim
“Behold, behold your King!” “Behold, behold your King!”

Crav ing par don for Your foes: Hear us, ho ly Je sus.
2 Savior, for our pardon sue 5 May we in our guilt and shame
When our sins Your pangs renew, Still Your love and mercy claim,
For we know not what we do: Calling humbly on Your name:
Hear us, holy Jesus. Hear us, holy Jesus.
3 Oh, may we, who mercy need, 6 May our hearts to You incline
Be like You in heart and deed, And their thoughts Your cross entwine.
When with wrong our spirits bleed: Cheer our souls with hope divine:
4 Jesus, pitying the sighs 7 Jesus, loving to the end
Of the thief, who near You dies, Her whose heart Your sorrows rend,
Promising him paradise: And Your dearest human friend:

2
8 May we in Your sorrows share, 14 Thirst for us in mercy still;
For Your sake all peril dare, All Your holy work fulfill;
And enjoy Your tender care: Satisfy Your loving will:
9 May we all Your loved ones be, 15 May we thirst Your love to know.
All one holy family, Lead us in our sin and woe
Loving, since Your love we see: Where the healing waters flow:
10 Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown, 16 Jesus, all our ransom paid,
With our evil left alone, All Your Father’s will obeyed;
While no light from heav’n is shown: By Your suff’rings perfect made:
11 When we seem in vain to pray 17 Save us in our soul’s distress;
And our hope seems far away, Be our help to cheer and bless
In the darkness be our stay: While we grow in holiness:
12 Though no Father seem to hear, 18 Brighten all our heav’nward way
Though no light our spirits cheer, With an ever holier ray
May we know that God is near: Till we pass to perfect day:
13 Jesus, in Your thirst and pain, 19 Jesus, all Your labor vast,
While Your wounds Your lifeblood drain, All Your woe and conflict past,
Thirsting more our love to gain: Yielding up Your soul at last:
3
20 When the death shades round us low’r, 21 May Your life and death supply
Guard us from the tempter’s pow’r, Grace to live and grace to die,
Keep us in that trial hour: Grace to reach the home on high:

’Tis the Christ, by man re ject ed; Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
Friends through fear His cause dis own ing, Foes in sult ing His dis tress;

’Tis the long– ex pect ed Proph et, Da vid’s son, yet Da vid’s Lord;

Man y hands were raised to wound Him, None would in ter vene to save;

Proofs I see suf fi cient of it: ’Tis the true and faith ful Word.
But the deep est stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that jus tice gave.

3 Ye who think of sin but lightly 4 Here we have a firm foundation,

Nor suppose the evil great Here the refuge of the lost;
Here may view its nature rightly, Christ, the rock of our salvation,
Here its guilt may estimate. His the name of which we boast.
Mark the sacrifice appointed, Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
See who bears the awful load; Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed, None shall ever be confounded
Son of Man and Son of God. Who on Him their hope have built.

All that He left His throne a bove To do for us be low.
His toil, His sor rows, one by one, The Scrip tures have ful filled.
All forms of hu man grief and care Have pierced that ten der heart.
4 And on His thorn–crowned head 5 In perfect love He dies;

And on His sinless soul For me He dies, for me.
Our sins in all their guilt were laid O all–atoning Sacrifice,
That He might make us whole. I cling by faith to Thee.

2 No son of man could conquer death, 5 Here our true Paschal Lamb we see,
Such ruin sin had wrought us. Whom God so freely gave us;
No innocence was found on earth, He died on the accursed tree—
And therefore death had brought us So strong His love—to save us.
Into bondage from of old See, His blood now marks our door;
And ever grew more strong and bold Faith points to it; death passes o’er,
And held us as its captive. And Satan cannot harm us.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 Christ Jesus, God’s own Son, came down, 6 So let us keep the festival
His people to deliver; To which the Lord invites us;
Destroying sin, He took the crown Christ is Himself the joy of all,
From death’s pale brow forever; The sun that warms and lights us.
Stripped of pow’r, no more it reigns; Now His grace to us imparts
An empty form alone remains; Eternal sunshine to our hearts;
Its sting is lost forever. The night of sin is ended.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 It was a strange and dreadful strife 7 Then let us feast this Easter Day
When life and death contended; On Christ, the bread of heaven;
The victory remained with life, The Word of grace has purged away
The reign of death was ended. The old and evil leaven.
Holy Scripture plainly saith Christ alone our souls will feed;
That death is swallowed up by death, He is our meat and drink indeed;
Its sting is lost forever. Faith lives upon no other!
Alleluia! Alleluia!

467 Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

AUF, AUF, MEIN HERZ 76 76 66 66

1 A wake, my heart, with glad ness, See what to day is done;

2 The foe in tri umph shout ed When Christ lay in the tomb;

Now, af ter gloom and sad ness, Comes forth the glo rious sun.
But lo, he now is

rout ed, His boast is

turned to gloom.

My Sav ior there was laid Where our bed must be made

For Christ a gain is
free; In glo rious vic to ry

When to the realms of light Our spir it wings its flight.
He who is strong to save Has tri umphed o’er the grave.

2
3 This is a sight that gladdens— 5 The world against me rages,

What peace it does impart! Its fury I disdain;
Now nothing ever saddens Though bitter war it wages,
The joy within my heart. Its work is all in vain.
No gloom shall ever shake, My heart from care is free,
No foe shall ever take No trouble troubles me.
The hope which God’s own Son Misfortune now is play,
In love for me has won. And night is bright as day.
4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, 6 Now I will cling forever
Of all their pow’r are shorn; To Christ, my Savior true;
Now I am safe from evil, My Lord will leave me never,
And sin I laugh to scorn. Whate’er he passes through.
Grim death with all its might He rends death’s iron chain;
Cannot my soul affright; He breaks through sin and pain;
It is a pow’rless form, He shatters hell’s grim thrall;
Howe’er it rave and storm. I follow Him through all.

3
7 He brings me to the portal
That leads to bliss untold,
Whereon this rhyme immortal
Is found in script of gold:
“Who there My cross has shared
Find here a crown prepared;
Who there with Me has died
Shall here be glorified.”

With the trump of jubilee? With His blood within the veil;
Lord of battles, God of armies, Joshua now is come to Canaan,
He has gained the victory. And the kings before Him quail.
He who on the cross did suffer, Now He plants the tribes of Israel
He who from the grave arose, In their promised resting place;
He has vanquished sin and Satan; Now our great Elijah offers
He by death has crushed His foes. Double portion of His grace.
3 While He lifts His hands in blessing, 5 He has raised our human nature
He is parted from His friends; On the clouds to God’s right hand;
While their eager eyes behold Him, There we sit in heav’nly places,
He upon the clouds ascends. There with Him in glory stand.
He who walked with God and Jesus reigns, adored by angels;
pleased Him, Man with God is on the throne.
Preaching truth and doom to come, By our mighty Lord’s ascension
He, our Enoch, is translated We by faith behold our own.
To His everlasting home.

Mine outward vesture be
And lowliness become mine inner clothing—
True lowliness of heart,
Which takes the humbler part,
And o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the pow’r of human telling;
No soul can guess His grace
Till it become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling.

And ev’ry heart be clearly seen, Then we shall see Him face to face,
And all be known as they have been With all His saints in that
In thoughts and words and actions. blest place

And sought but carnal pleasures, 7 O Jesus Christ, do not delay,
Who here despised His precious Word But hasten our salvation;
And loved their earthly treasures! We often tremble on our way

And at the judge’s stern command Come, mighty judge, and set us free
To Satan be delivered. From death and ev’ry evil.

2 How were Mary’s thoughts devoted
Her eternal joy to find
As intent each word she noted
At her Savior’s feet reclined!
How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling,
While hearing the lessons that Christ was revealing!
All earthly concerns she forgot for her Lord
And found her contentment in hearing His Word.
3 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure,
Jesus, is revealed in You.
Let me find in You my pleasure,
And my wayward will subdue,
Humility there and simplicity reigning,
In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training.
If I learn from Jesus this knowledge divine,
The blessing of heavenly wisdom is mine.
4 Nothing have I, Christ, to offer,
You alone, my highest good.
Nothing have I, Lord, to proffer
But Your crimson–colored blood.
Your death on the cross has death wholly defeated
And thereby my righteousness fully completed;
Salvation’s white raiments I there did obtain,
And in them in glory with You I shall reign.

5 Therefore You alone, my Savior,
Shall be all in all to me;
Search my heart and my behavior,
Root out all hypocrisy.
Through all my life’s pilgrimage, guard and uphold me,
In loving forgiveness, O Jesus, enfold me.
This one thing is needful; all others are vain—
I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain!

2
3 It was a false, misleading dream 6 Since Christ has full atonement made
That God His Law has given And brought to us salvation,
That sinners could themselves redeem Each Christian therefore may be glad
And by their works gain heaven. And build on this foundation.
The Law is but a mirror bright Your grace alone, dear Lord, I plead,
To bring the inbred sin to light Your death is now my life indeed,
That lurks within our nature. For You have paid my ransom.
4 From sin our flesh could not abstain, 7 Let me not doubt, but truly see
Sin held its sway unceasing; Your Word cannot be broken;
The task was useless and in vain, Your call rings out, “Come unto Me!”
Our guilt was e’er increasing. No falsehood have You spoken.
None can remove sin’s poisoned dart Baptized into Your precious name,
Or purify our guileful heart— My faith cannot be put to shame,
So deep is our corruption. And I shall never perish.
5 Yet as the Law must be fulfilled 8 The Law reveals the guilt of sin
Or we must die despairing, And makes us conscience–stricken
Christ came and has God’s anger stilled, But then the Gospel enters in
Our human nature sharing. The sinful soul to quicken.
He has for us the Law obeyed Come to the cross, trust Christ,
And thus the Father’s vengeance stayed and live;
Which over us impended. The Law no peace can ever give,
No comfort and no blessing.

3
9 Faith clings to Jesus’ cross alone 10 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
And rests in Him unceasing; To Father, Son, and Spirit,
And by its fruits true faith is known, The God who saved us by His grace;
With love and hope increasing, All glory to His merit.
For faith alone can justify; O triune God in heav’n above,
Works serve our neighbor and supply You have revealed Your saving love;
The proof that faith is living. Your blessed name we hallow.

3 My own good works all came to naught, 6 The Son obeyed His Father’s will,
No grace or merit gaining; Was born of virgin mother;
Free will against God’s judgment fought, And God’s good pleasure to fulfill,
Dead to all good remaining. He came to be my brother.
My fears increased till sheer despair His royal pow’r disguised He bore,
Left only death to be my share; A servant’s form, like mine, He wore
The pangs of hell I suffered. To lead the devil captive.
4 But God had seen my wretched state 7 To me He said: “Stay close to Me,
Before the world’s foundation, I am your rock and castle.
And mindful of His mercies great, Your ransom I Myself will be;
He planned for my salvation. For you I strive and wrestle.
He turned to me a father’s heart; For I am yours, and you are Mine,
He did not choose the easy part And where I am you may remain;
But gave His dearest treasure. The foe shall not divide us.
5 God said to His beloved Son: 8 “Though he will shed My precious
“It’s time to have compassion. blood,
Then go, bright jewel of My crown, Me of My life bereaving,
And bring mankind salvation; All this I suffer for your good;
From sin and sorrow set them free; Be steadfast and believing.
Slay bitter death for them that they Life will from death the vict’ry win;
May live with You forever.” My innocence shall bear your sin,
And you are blest forever.

From earth to heav’n ascending, Guide all your life and teaching;
And, heav’nly wisdom to impart, So shall my kingdom’s work be wrought

In trouble He will comfort you But watch lest foes with base alloy
And teach you always to be true The heav’nly treasure should destroy;
And in all truth shall guide you. This final word I leave you.”

3 By grace God’s Son, our only Savior,
Came down to earth to bear our sin.
Was it because of your own merit
That Jesus died your soul to win?
No, it was grace, and grace alone,
That brought Him from His heav’nly throne.
4 By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
As long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
What in His Word our God commands,
Our faith in what our God has done
Depends on grace—grace through His Son.
5 By grace to timid hearts that tremble,
In tribulation’s furnace tried,
By grace, in spite of fear and trouble,
The Father’s heart is open wide.
Where could I help and strength secure
If grace were not my anchor sure?
6 By grace! On this I’ll rest when dying;
In Jesus’ promise I rejoice;
For though I know my heart’s condition,
I also know my Savior’s voice.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown
Since I am saved by grace alone.

Free grace through Him I now obtain; His death, that perfect sacrifice,

And pure I stand before Him. In Him my hope is anchored.

1 I lay my sins on Je sus, The spot less Lamb of God;

2 I lay my wants on Je sus; All full ness swells in Him;

He bears them all and frees us From the ac curs ed load.

He heals all my dis eas es; My soul He does re deem.

I bring my guilt to Je sus To wash my crim son stains
I lay my griefs on Je sus, My bur dens and my cares;

Clean in His blood most pre cious Till not a spot re mains.
He from them all re leas es; He all my sor rows shares.

This weary soul of mine;
His right hand me embraces;

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes
His name abroad is poured.

To break sin’s dread oppression. Nor count itself forsaken.
Before Thee none can boasting stand, O Israel, trust in God your Lord.
But all must fear Thy strict demand Born of the Spirit and the Word,
And live alone by mercy. Now wait for His appearing.
3 Therefore my hope is in the Lord 5 Though great our sins, yet greater still
And not in mine own merit; Is God’s abundant favor;
It rests upon His faithful Word His hand of mercy never will
To them of contrite spirit Abandon us, nor waver.
That He is merciful and just; Our shepherd good and true is He,
This is my comfort and my trust. Who will at last His Israel free
His help I wait with patience. From all their sin and sorrow.

Another arm but Thine to lean upon.
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.
5 Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness;
Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood;
Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace:
Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.
6 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear;
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone;
The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here,
Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.

Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,
Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
The Lamb’s great marriage feast of bliss and love.

But simply hold the mystery Who in these promises finds rest;

2 E lect from ev’ ry na tion, Yet one o’er all the earth;

She is His new cre a tion By wa ter and the Word.

Her char ter of sal va tion: One Lord, one faith, one birth.

From heav’n He came and sought her To be His ho ly bride;

One ho ly name she bless es, Par takes one ho ly food,

With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died.
And to one hope she press es With ev’ ry grace en dued.

3 Though with a scornful wonder 4 Through toil and tribulation

The world sees here oppressed, And tumult of her war
By schisms rent asunder, She waits the consummation
By heresies distressed, Of peace forevermore
Yet saints their watch are keeping; Till with the vision glorious
Their cry goes up, “How long?” Her longing eyes are blest,
And soon the night of weeping And the great Church victorious
Shall be the morn of song. Shall be the Church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O blessed heav’nly chorus!
Lord, save us by Your grace
That we, like saints before us,
May see You face to face.

Springing from eternal love, See the cloud and fire appear
Well supply your sons and daughters For a glory and a cov’ring,
And all fear of want remove. Showing that the Lord is near.
Who can faint while such a river Thus deriving from their banner
Ever will their thirst assuage? Light by night and shade by day,
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Safe they feed upon the manna
Never fails from age to age. Which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion’s city
I through grace a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,

Fading are the worldlings’ pleasures,
All their boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasures
None but Zion’s children know.

Jesus Christ it is, Scowl fierce as he will,
Of Sabaoth Lord, He can harm us none,
And there’s none other God; He’s judged; the deed is done;
He holds the field forever. One little word can fell him.

Nor any thanks have for it;

661 The Son of God Goes Forth to War

ALL SAINTS NEW CM D

1 The Son of God goes forth to war A king ly crown to gain.

2 The mar tyr first, whose ea gle eye Could pierce be yond the grave,

His blood– red ban ner streams a far; Who fol lows in His train?

Who saw his mas ter in the sky And called on Him to save.

Who best can drink His cup of woe, Tri um phant o ver pain,

Like Him, with par don on His tongue In midst of mor tal pain,

Who pa tient bears his cross be low— He fol lows in His train.
He prayed for those who did the wrong— Who fol lows in his train?

2
3 A glorious band, the chosen few,

On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints—their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant’s brandished steel,
The lion’s gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel—
Who follows in their train?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior’s throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav’n
Through peril, toil, and pain.
O God, to us may grace be giv’n
To follow in their train!

716 I Walk in Danger All the Way
DER LIEBEN SONNE LICHT UND PRACHT 87 87 66 88

1 I walk in dan ger all the way. The thought shall nev er leave me
2 I pass through tri als all the way, With sin and ills con tend ing;

That Sa tan, who has marked his prey, Is plot ting to de ceive me.
In pa tience I must bear each day The cross of God’s own send ing.

This foe with hid den snares May seize me un a wares
When in ad ver si ty I know not where to flee,

If I should fail to watch and pray. I walk in dan ger all the way.
When storms of woe my soul dis may, I pass through tri als all the way.

2
3 And death pursues me all the way, 5 I walk with Jesus all the way,
Nowhere I rest securely; His guidance never fails me;
He comes by night, he comes by day, Within His wounds I find a stay
He takes his prey most surely. When Satan’s pow’r assails me;
A failing breath, and I And by his footsteps led,
In death’s strong grasp may lie My path I safely tread.
To face eternity today No evil leads my soul astray;
As death pursues me all the way. I walk with Jesus all the way.
4 I walk with angels all the way, 6 My walk is heav’nward all the way;
They shield me and befriend me; Await, my soul, the morrow,
All Satan’s pow’r is held at bay When God’s good healing shall allay
When heav’nly hosts attend me; All suff’ring, sin, and sorrow.
They are my sure defense, Then, worldly pomp, begone!
All fear and sorrow, hence! To heav’n I now press on.
Unharmed by foes, do what they may, For all the world I would not stay;
I walk with angels all the way. My walk is heav’nward all the way.

1 If God Him self be for me, I may a host de fy;
2 I build on this foun da tion, That Je sus and His blood

For when I pray, be fore me My foes, con found ed, fly.
A lone are my sal va tion, My true, e ter nal good.

If Christ, my head and mas ter, Be friend me from a bove,

With out Him all that pleas es Is val ue less on earth;

What foe or what dis as ter Can drive me from His love?
The gifts I have from Je sus A lone have price less worth.

2
3 Christ Jesus is my splendor, 6 Who clings with resolution
My sun, my light, alone; To Him who Satan hates
Were He not my defender Must look for persecution;
Before God’s judgment throne, For him the burden waits
I never should find favor Of mock’ry, shame, and losses
And mercy in His sight, Heaped on his blameless head;
But be destroyed forever A thousand plagues and crosses
As darkness by the light. Will be his daily bread.
4 He canceled my offenses, 7 From me this is not hidden,
Delivered me from death; Yet I am not afraid;
He is the Lord who cleanses I leave my cares, as bidden,
My soul from sin through faith. To whom my vows were paid.
In Him I can be cheerful, Though life from me be taken
Courageous on my way; And ev’rything I own,
In Him I am not fearful I trust in You unshaken
Of God’s great Judgment Day. And cleave to You alone.
5 For no one can condemn me 8 No danger, thirst, or hunger,
Or set my hope aside; No pain or poverty,
Now hell no more can claim me: No earthly tyrant’s anger
Its fury I deride. Shall ever vanquish me.
No sentence now reproves me, Though earth should break asunder,
No guilt destroys my peace; My fortress You shall be;
For Christ, my Savior, loves me No fire or sword or thunder
And shields me with His grace. Shall sever You from me.

3
9 No angel and no gladness, 10 My heart with joy is springing;
No throne, no pomp, no show, I am no longer sad.
No love, no hate, no badness, My soul is filled with singing;
No pain, no depth of woe, Your sunshine makes me glad.
No scheming, no contrivance, The sun that cheers my spirit
No subtle thing or great Is Jesus Christ, my King;
Shall draw me from Your guidance The heav’n I shall inherit
Nor from You separate. Makes me rejoice and sing.

3 No, too close ly am I bound By my hope to Christ for ev er;

Know ing this, my con fi dence Rests up on the hope here giv en,
He will bring me where He is; Shall my cour age then be shak en?
Faith’s strong hand the Rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it nev er;

Though the night of death be fraught Still in man y‿ an anx ious thought.
Shall I fear, or could the Head Rise and leave His mem bers dead?
E ven death now can not part From its Lord the trust ing heart.

4 I am flesh and must return 6 Then take comfort and rejoice,
To the dust, whence I am taken; For His members Christ will cherish.
But by faith I now discern Fear not, they will hear His voice;
That from death I shall awaken Dying, they will never perish;
With my Savior to abide For the very grave is stirred
In His glory, at His side. When the trumpet’s blast is heard.
5 Glorified, I shall anew 7 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave
With this flesh then be enshrouded; And at death no longer tremble;
In this body I shall view He, the Lord, who came to save
God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded; Will at last His own assemble.
In this flesh I then shall see They will go their Lord to meet,
Jesus Christ eternally. Treading death beneath their feet.
8 O, then, draw away your hearts
From all pleasures base and hollow;
Strive to share what He imparts
While you here his footsteps follow.
As you now still wait to rise,
Fix your hearts beyond the skies!

742 For Me to Live Is Jesus
CHRISTUS, DER IST MEIN LEBEN 76 76

1 For me to live is Je sus, To die is gain for me;
2 For Christ, my Lord, my broth er, I leave this world so dim
3 My woes are near ly o ver, Though long and dark the road;

4 Lord, when my pow’rs are fail ing, My breath comes heav i ly,

So, when my Sav ior pleas es, I meet death will ing ly.
And glad ly seek an oth er, Where I shall be with Him.
My sin His mer its cov er, And I have peace with God.
And words are un a vail ing, O hear my sighs to Thee.
5 In my last hour, O grant me 6 And so to Thee still cleaving

A slumber soft and still, When death shall come to me,
No doubts to vex or haunt me, I fall asleep believing
Safe anchored in Thy will; And wake in heav’n with Thee!

Fount of pur est pleas ure,

Tru est friend to me. Ah, how long in an guish

Shall my spir it lan guish, Yearn ing, Lord, for Thee?

Thou art mine, O Lamb di vine! I will suf fer

naught to hide Thee; Naught I ask be side Thee.

2
2 In Thine arms I rest me; 4 Hence, all earthly treasure!

Foes who would molest me Jesus is my pleasure,
Cannot reach me here. Jesus is my choice.
Though the earth be shaking, Hence, all empty glory!
Ev’ry heart be quaking, Naught to me thy story
Jesus calms my fear. Told with tempting voice.
Lightnings flash And thunders crash; Pain or loss Or shame or cross,
Yet, though sin and hell assail me, Shall not from my Savior move me
Jesus will not fail me. Since He deigns to love me.
3 Satan, I defy thee; 5 Evil world, I leave thee;
Death, I now decry thee; Thou canst not deceive me,
Fear, I bid thee cease. Thine appeal is vain.
World, thou shalt not harm me Sin that once did blind me,
Nor thy threats alarm me Get thee far behind me,
While I sing of peace. Come not forth again.
God’s great pow’r Guards ev’ry hour; Past thy hour, O pride and pow’r;
Earth and all its depth adore Him, Sinful life, thy bonds I sever,
Silent bow before Him. Leave thee now forever.

3
6 Hence, all fear and sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate’er I here must bear,
Thou art still my purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

When He has tried thy soul with sadness
And from all guile has found thee free,

And makes thee own His loving care.

That God hath cast thee off unheard,
That he whose hopes meet no denial.

True wonders still by Him are wrought

And He shall save me to the end And trees of life forever grow

I shall His pow’r adore His kingdom He maintains
And sing the wonders of His grace And glorious with His saints in light

And earth and hell withstand, The great archangels sing,
To Canaan’s bounds I urge my way And “Holy, holy, holy!” cry,
At His command. “Almighty King!
The wat’ry deep I pass, Who was and is the same
With Jesus in my view, And evermore shall be:
And through the howling wilderness Jehovah, Father, great I AM!
My way pursue. We worship Thee!”

810 O God of God, O Light of Light
O GROSSER GOTT LM D

1 O God of God, O Light of light, O Prince of Peace

and King of kings: To You in heav en’s glo ry bright The

song of praise for ev er rings. To Him who sits up

on the throne, The Lamb once slain but raised a gain,

Be all the glo ry He has won, All thanks and praise! A men, a men.

2 For deep in prophets’ sacred page,

And grand in poets’ winged word,
Slowly in type, from age to age
The nations saw their coming Lord;
Till through the deep Judean night
Rang out the song, “Goodwill to men!”
Sung once by firstborn sons of light,
It echoes now, “Goodwill!” Amen.
3 That life of truth, those deeds of love,
That death so steeped in hate and scorn—
These all are past, and now above
He reigns, our king first crowned with thorn.
Lift up your heads, O mighty gates!
So sang the host beyond our ken.
Lift up your heads, your King awaits.
We lift them up. Amen, amen.

3
4 Then raise to Christ a mighty song,
And shout His name, His glories tell!
Sing, heav’nly host, your praise prolong,
And all on earth, your anthems swell!
All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain!
Forever let the song ascend!
Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign,
All hail, all hail! Amen, amen.

Of justice, truth, and righteousness, Has pity on His children here,
His love beyond our measure, God in His arms will gather
His yearning pity o’er distress; All who are His in childlike fear.
Nor treats us as we merit He knows how frail our powers,
But sets His anger by. Who but from dust are made.
The poor and contrite spirit We flourish as the flowers,
Finds His compassion nigh; And even so we fade;
And high as heav’n above us, The wind but o’er them passes,
As dawn from close of day, And all their bloom is o’er.
So far, since He has loved us, We wither like the grasses;
He put our sins away. Our place knows us no more.

And children’s children yet shall prove

heal and save; It tri umphed o ver ills and death, O’er

dark ness and the grave. To You they came, the blind, the

Gave speech and strength and sight; Restore and quicken, soothe
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed and bless,
Revealed You, Lord of light. With Your life–giving breath.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless, To hands that work and eyes that see
Almighty as before, Give wisdom’s healing pow’r
In crowded street, by beds of pain, That whole and sick and weak
As by Gennes’ret’s shore. and strong
May praise You evermore.

From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may He send you
And bid His hosts attend you
And through the night watch o’er your beds.

LIFT EVERY VOICE PM

1 Lift ev’ ry voice and sing Till earth and heav en ring,

2 Ston y the road we trod, Bit ter the chas t’ning rod,

Ring with the har mo nies of lib er ty.

Felt in the days when

hope

un

born

had died;

Let our re joic ing rise High as the lis t’ning skies,

Yet, with a stead y beat, Have not our wea ry feet

Let it re sound loud as the roll ing sea.
Come to the place for which our par ents sighed?

2

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
We have come o ver a way that with tears has been wa tered;

Sing a song full of the hope that the pres ent has brought us;

We have come, tread ing our path through the blood of the slaugh tered,

Fac ing the ris ing sun Of our new day be gun,

Out from the gloom y past, Till now we stand at last

Let us march on, till vic to ry is won.
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus
far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places,
our God, where we met Thee;
Lest, our hearts drunk with the
wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
