With solemn joy we come, dear Lord
Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden, b.1886 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #291 (1958) Topics: Sacraments and Rites Confirmation Lyrics: 1 With solemn joy we come, dear Lord,
To make our vows this day;
We find in thee our hope, our life,
Thou art the living way.
2 In childhood's pure and blessed morn
Thy gift was shed from heaven,
When at the sacred font of life
Our souls to thee were given.
3 And through the years thy wondrous grace
Has followed all the way;
Thy love has never let us go,
Though we are prone to stray. A-men.
4 Forgive, dear Lord, each fault and stain,
And cleanse our hearts from sin;
Help us to walk in humble faith,
And keep us pure within.
5 O blessèd Saviour, thine we are,
Thy Name we would confess;
Thy Spirit pour into our hearts,
Our youthful lives to bless.
6 O keep us faithful, keep us true,
And seal us for thine own,
That we may stand at last with joy
Before thy great white throne.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER
With solemn joy we come, dear Lord
O take my hand, dear Father
Author: H. Brueckner, 1866 - 1942; Julia Hausmann, 1825 - 1901 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #292 (1958) Topics: Sacraments and Rites Confirmation Lyrics: 1 O take my hand, dear Father,
And lead thou me,
Till at my journey's ending
I dwell with thee.
Alone I cannot wander
One single day,
So do thou guide my footsteps
On life’s rough way.
2 O cover with thy mercy
My poor, weak heart,
Lest I in joy or sorrow
From thee depart.
Permit thy child to linger
Here at thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting
With faith complete. A-men.
3 Though oft thy power but faintly
May stir my soul,
With thee, my light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father,
And lead thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with thee.
Amen.

All I have, and all I am.
Make my heart more true and tender,
Glorify in me thy Name.

To thy will be all my aim.
2 Gracious God, all thou hast spoken
In this covenant shall take place;
But if I, alas, have broken
These my vows, hide not thy face;
And from falling, and from falling,
O restore me by thy grace! A-men.
3 Help me in this high endeavor,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Bind my heart to thee for ever
Till I join the heavenly host.
Living, dying, living, dying,
Let me make in thee my boast.

Lord, to thee I now surrender
Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Luise Henriette von Brandenburg, 1627-67 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #294a (1958) Topics: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
And my Saviour, ever liveth;
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope it giveth,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives!
I, too, unto life must waken;
He will have me where he is.
Shall my courage then, be shaken?
Shall I fear? Or could the Head
Rise and leave his members dead? A-men.
3 Nay, too closely am I bound
Unto him by hope for ever;
Faith's strong hand the rock hath found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never;
Not the ban of death can part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 Saviour, draw away our heart
Now from pleasures base and hollow,
Let us there with thee have part,
Here on earth thy footsteps follow.
Fix our hearts beyond the skies,
Whither we ourselves would rise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT (RATISBON)

Beyond the everlasting hills
Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden, b.1886 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #295 (1958) Topics: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 Beyond the everlasting hills,
Above the starry skies,
My spirit seeks the home of peace,
Where tears shall dim no eyes.
2 No shadows there shall ever fall,
Nor weary night and long;
No silver cords shall broken be
To hush the sound of song. A-men.
3 There shall I find again the love
Of those I cherished here;
And friendship's ties shall holier be,
And bonds of love more dear.
4 There shall I see thee, O my God,
Creator, Saviour, Friend;
And with angelic voices join
In worship without end.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ETHELDREDA

Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Refrain:
Father, in thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now thy servant sleeping. A-men.
2 There the tears of earth are dried,
There its hidden things are clear,
There the work of life is tried
By a juster judge than here. [Refrain]
3 There the penitents, that turn
To the cross their dying eyes,
All the love of Jesus learn
At his feet in Paradise. [Refrain]
4 'Earth to earth, and dust to dust,'
Calmly now the words we say;
Leaving him to sleep, in trust,
Till the resurrection-day. [Refrain]

5 'Till the sea gives up its dead,'
Calmly now the words we say,
Laid in ocean's quiet bed
Till the resurrection-day: [Refrain]
Amen.

Father, in thy gracious keeping
Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 348 - 413; Edward Traill Horn III, b. 1909 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #297 (1958) Topics: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow,
From God's own assurances borrow
The promise that Jesus has given:
That life has in death its beginning.
2 As seed in the springtime is planted,
And rests in the earth until granted
God's blessing of warmth and of showers,
And blossoms in leaflets and flowers;
3 So we, amid sorrow and weeping,
Committed, O earth, to thy keeping,
Shall, given new life and perfection,
Come forth in the great resurrection. A-men.
4 O Lord, at thy coming in glory,
When all shall bow down and adore thee,
Then forth from the tomb's open portal,
O lead us to mansions immortal.
Amen.

Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #298 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Eucharist (Holy Communion or The Lord's Supper) Lyrics: 1. When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
Author: Walter Scott, 1771 - 1832 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #298a (1958) Topics: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day? A-men.
2 When, shrivelling like a parchèd scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When, louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead;
3 Lord, on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be thou the trembling sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
