O Lord, My God, Thy Holy Law
Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #57 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, Thy holy law
My ev'ry sin reveals;
A mirror clear, without a flaw,
No blemish it conceals.
2 In thought, in word, in deed, O God,
Thy will I oft transgress;
I well deserve Thy smiting rod,
And Thou dost claim redress.
3 But Jesus, Thine incarnate Son,
Fulfilled the law for me;
His precious blood my pardon won,
And I from guilt am free.
4 Thy grace hath wrought within my heart
A love that works no ill,
That bids me keep from sin apart
And gladly do Thy will.
5 O grant that I in love may grow
Thro' Thine abundant grace,
That I may praise Thee here below,
And there behold Thy face.
Amen.

O Lord, My God, Thy Holy Law
By Sin Weighed Down, And Sorely Stricken
Author: H. Brueckner; Chr. Tietze Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #68 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence First Line: By sin weighed down and sorely stricken Lyrics: 1 By sin weighed down and sorely stricken,
I stand before God's judgment throne.
O God, do Thou my spirit quicken,
For Thou canst help, and Thou alone.
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
2 O Father, Thou of mercies tender,
Thine humble child doth cry to Thee;
Wilt Thou to me sweet comfort render,
That I again may joyful be?
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
3 My troubled soul, its sins bewailing,
Can never for its guilt atone;
But let Thy mercy be unfailing,
That I Thy healing grace may own.
Have mercy of my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
4 My soul Thy pardon strongly craveth;
O speak the Word it fain would hear:
I lend thee grace that truly saveth,
I pardon thee, I stay thy fear.
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
5 I do not doubt my prayer is granted,
The sense of comfort doth increase;
I have the grace for which I panted,
And so to raise this cry I cease:
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away. Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK
By Sin Weighed Down, And Sorely Stricken
My Heart, Prepare To Give Account
Author: P. C. Paulsen; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #69 (1930) Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Lyrics: 1 My heart, prepare to give account
Of all thy sore transgression;
To Him Who is all mercies' Fount
Make thou a full confession.
Recount what thou in all these years
Of sin and guilt hast hoarded,
And what in God's own book appears,
With faithfulness recorded.
2 Soon will thy earthly course be run,
No single day returning;
But what thou good or ill hast done,
Thy God is now discerning;
When He to judgment calleth thee,
Thou shalt with fear and trembling
Thy sinful deeds in order see,
No longer then dissembling.
3 Here thy conceit and ill desire
Thou many times concealest;
Thy evil lust, that burning fire,
Thou nevermore revealest;
Thou thinkest, This is hidden well,
No soul shall ever know it.
The day of judgment all shall tell,
Its searching light will show it.
4 Remember, then, how swiftly went
The years of grace He gave thee;
What if today His call were sent,
Without a chance to save thee!
If thou hast still a few more days
To be for death preparing,
Then hasten to amend thy ways,
By grace good fruitage bearing.
5 O bend thy knees, thy sins to take
Before God's throne in heaven,
And pray that grace for Jesus' sake
To thee be freely given.
Then by His power from above,
By His own Holy Spirit,
Thou shalt increase in faith and love,
Till heaven thou inherit. Languages: English Tune Title: BERGGREN

O Faithful God, Thanks Be To Thee
Author: C. H. L. Schuette; Nic. Selnecker Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #73 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Lyrics: 1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee,
That Thou forgiv'st iniquity
And helpest me in sin's distress,
And dost my soul and body bless.
2 By servant Thine Thou say'st to me:
My child, thy sin's forgiven thee!
Depart in peace, and sin no more
And e'er my pard'ning grace adore.
3 We bless The wondrous grace, O Lord,
Who pardon grantest through Thy Word;
We now enjoy the heav'nly good
Through Jesus' holy, precious blood.
4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give,
Help us in holiness to live;
Preserve to us, till life is spent,
Thy Holy Word and Sacrament.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH

How Blessed Is The Little Flock
Author: C. Doving; N. J. Holm Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #86 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 How blessed is the little flock,
Whom Jesus calls His own!
He is their Savior and their rock,
They trust in Him alone;
They walk by faith and hope and love,
But they shall dwell with Him above,
When hope and faith shall pass away,
And love shall last for aye.
2 My Jesus, am I in that band,
And wilt Thou call me Thine?
Do I among the chosen stand
Whose lamps so brightly shine?
O let me not lie down to rest
Till this I know, my Savior blest,
Till I can say, by grace restored:
Thou know'st I love Thee, Lord!
3 And even if with tears it be,
That this to Thee I say,
Yet Thou in grace wilt look on me
And wipe my tears away;
Yea, when but Thou who all dost know,
In me canst find Thy love below
And own me Thine, then well is me,--
My all I have in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: LUDWIG

Praise The Lord That He Has Built
Author: J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #88 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built
Here on earth a sanctuary,
Where the soul, oppressed by guilt,
Safe beneath His wings may tarry,
While His mercy, love and grace
All its guilty stains efface.
2 Built upon the rock it stands
Firmly through the passing ages,
Heeding not the world's demands,
Nor the storm that round it rages,
But to souls with cares replete
It remains a blest retreat.
3 There the wounded hearts are healed,
Grace to yearning souls imparted,
Light to sightless eyes revealed,
Strength renewed in feeble-hearted,
So that souls, from weakness prone,
Grow like trees in Lebanon.
4 Send us, Lord, Thy heav'nly dove,
Open wide Thy living fountain,
Deck Thine altar with Thy love,
Teach us from Thy holy mountain,
Shield us all beneath Thy wing
Till, at home, Thy praise we sing. Languages: English Tune Title: HARTMANN

O Boundless Joy! There Is Salvation
Author: J. T. Mueller; Ph. Fr. Hiller, 1699-1769 Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #137 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 O boundless joy! There is salvation
For me, a sinner, vile and base.
Though all unworthy of compassion,
I oft have spurned the Savior's grace,
Yet love prevailed, and mercy mild
Sought out the lost and erring child.
2 Wrath should be mine and condemnation,
And hell with all its endless pain!
Yet here is heaven and salvation,
Christ's saving blood to make me clean.
O why such priceless gifts for me?
'Tis mercy, mercy vast and free!
3 O Lord, forever and forever,
My ransomed soul should voice Thy praise!
To Thy great mercy, blessed Savior,
My ever-grateful hymns I raise.
O wondrous Gospel, holy theme!
Christ came us sinners to redeem!
4 O Mercy! never shall Thy glory
Be dimmed by time and fade away.
My hope is rooted in Thy story,
With Thee I fear not when I pray,
With Thee I dread no earthly loss,
With Thee I bear each painful cross.
5 With Thee, when death's dark clouds shall lower,
I take my journey not alone;
With Thy sustaining hope and power,
I come before the judgment throne,
And there in endless praise of Thee
I'll sing through all eternity.
