Blest Is He Who Cries To Heaven

Author: P. C. Paulsen Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #128 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Blest is he who cries to heaven In the dark and evil day, Whose transgressions are forgiven And whose sins are washed away; Blest, when God to him imputeth Not iniquity nor sin, And no hidden guile polluteth Spirit, heart, and soul within. 2 Long I kept in silence groaning, While my bones waxed weak and old; Long my heart with grief was moaning And to Thee, O God, was cold. Day and night Thy hand oppressed me, Moisture turned to summer-drought, My transgressions sore distressed me, While in vain I comfort sought. 3 When, from Thee no longer hiding, I confessed my sin to Thee, With my heart in Thee confiding, Thou in love forgavest me. Now my heart is filled with gladness, Thou surroundest me with grace; Songs of joy dispel my sadness, For Thou art my hiding-place. 4 Lord, instruct and teach me ever In the way that I should go; With Thy counsel me deliver From the cunning of the foe. For Thy grace and mercy tender, For Thy table and Thy Word, Thanks to heaven I will render And forever praise Thee, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL

Children Of God, Born Again Of His Spirit

Author: H. A. Brorson; P. C. Paulsen Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #130 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.11 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Children of God, born again of His Spirit, Never we cease in His name to rejoice, Jesus believing, and saved by His merit, Come we to God with a jubilant voice. Let then each voice to the Father uplifted Widely proclaim that with grace we are gifted. 2 Evil by nature, and dead in transgression, Cold as a statue, and hard as a stone, This was our state when He, moved by compassion, Chose in His wisdom to call us His own. Led by His Spirit and called by His favor, Heard we the life-giving voice of our Savior. 3 When we consider the tho'ts of our Father, As He elected us children by grace, Sending His Spirit with mercy to gather Us who had fallen and turned from His face, How can we help but be moved by His favor, And thus acclaim Him our Father forever? 4 What can be charged to the Father's elected Whom He made just in Christ Jesus, our Lord? Here is sweet balsam for all the afflicted, Grace for the lost in His life-giving Word. Faith, breaking thro' ev'ry fear of damnation, Finds in the Savior the pledge of salvation.

O Mighty God Of Earth And Heaven

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #151 (1930) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Topics: The Means of Grace God Lyrics: 1 O mighty God of earth and heaven, Whose praises are thro' endless ages sung, The saints, to whom Thy grace is given, Their voices raise the heav'nly choir among, In music far surpassing human thought, To praise salvation which Thy Son has wrought. 2 But we, who in this vale of sorrow Our way as pilgrims far from home pursue, Look forward to a bright tomorrow, When we shall see both earth and heaven new, There we shall meet our Savior face to face And ever magnify His boundless grace. 3 This lends us joy in fullest measure, While we as strangers here below must roam; Our hearts are all aglow with pleasure As we look forward to that blissful home; But still our spirit ever longs and sighs To dwell with Jesus under fairer skies. 4 What here is quite beyond our telling, And we behold but darkly through a glass, The fondest hopes within us dwelling Will there in fullest beauty come to pass. O Savior, come and take us all to Thee, That we our precious hopes fulfilled may see. Languages: English Tune Title: CRASSELIUS
