The man that trusts the promise lives.

"That doth one wilful sin commit:
"Death and damnation fro the first
"Without relief, and infinite."
2 Thus flames the mount! and round the earth
Thunder, and fire, and vengeance flings:
But, Jesus, thy dear gasping breath,
And Calvary say gentler things:
3 "Pardon, and grace, and boundless love,
"Streaming along a Saviour's blood,
"And life, and joys, and crowns above,
"Obtain'd by a dear bleeding God."
4 Hark, how he prays (the charming sound
Dwells on his dying lips)"forgive;"
And every groan and gasping wound
Cries, "Father, let the rebels live."
5 Go, you that rest upon the law,
And toil, and seek salvation there,
Look to the flame that Moses saw,
And shrink, and tremble, and despair.
6 But I'll retire beneath the cross,
Saviour, at thy dear feet I lie;
And the keen sword that Justice draws,
Flaming and red, shall pass me by. Languages: English

The Law of God Is Good and Wise
Author: Matthias Loy Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #295 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Word Law and Gospel Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And wilfully in sin remain,
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The Law is good; but since the Fall
Its holiness condemns us all;
It dooms us for our sin to die
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone.
Amen.

The Lord declares his Will
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CXX (1766) Topics: Law and Gospel Lyrics: 1 The Lord declares his Will,
And keeps the World in Awe;
Amidst the Smoke on Sinai's Hill
Breaks out his fiery Law.
2 The Lord reveals his Face,
And smiling from above,
Sends down the Gospel of his Grace,
Th' Epistles of his Love.
3 These sacred Words impart
Our Maker's just Commands;
The Pity of his melting Heart,
And Vengeance of his Hands.
[4 Hence we awake our Fear,
We draw our Comfort hence;
The Arms of Grace are treasur'd here,
And Armoyr of Defence.
5 We learn Christ crucify'd,
And here behold his Blood;
All Arts and Knowledges beside
Will do us little Good.]
6 We read the heav'nly Word,
We take the offer'd Grace,
Obey the Statutes of the Lord,
And trust his Promises.

Against a Book divine,
Where Wrath and Lightning guard the Page,
Where Beams of mercy shine. Languages: English

That guides us all the day,
And thro' the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heav'ns Thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day
Thy skill and pow'r express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.

How pure is every page!
That holy Book shall guide our youth
And well support our age.

Author: Matthias Loy Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #297 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Word Law and Gospel Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace,
Who sent His Son to save our race,
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died
That we might thus be justified.

Who made th'atoning sacrifice,
And call the souls with guilt opprest
To come and find eternal rest.
3 It brings the Savior's righteousness
Our souls to robe in royal dress;
From all our guilt it brings release
And gives the troubled conscience peace.
4 It is the pow'r of God to save
From sin and Satan and the grave;
It works the faith, which firmly clings
To all the treasures which it brings.
5 It bears to all the tidings glad
And bids their hearts no more be sad;
The heavy-laden souls it cheers
And banishes their guilty fears.
6 May we in faith its tidings learn
Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn;
May we in faith its truth confess
And praise the Lord our Righteousness!
Amen.

To mourn our sin, and from it turn
In faith to Thee and to Thy Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Thy children we may live,
Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive.
4 Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain,
Absolve and lift us up again;
And thro' the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.

Hvor lystelig og yndig
Author: Joh. Petersen; Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #517 (1919) Topics: Law and Gospel Lyrics: 1 Hvor lystelig og yndig
Er deres Fødders Lyd,
Som i Guds Ærind syndig
Udraabe Fred og Fryd
For dem, som er i Vaade
Og føle Syndens Byld,
At Gud dem byder Naade
For Jesu Pines Skyld!
2 Den Lov, som Gud har givet,
Er vel et helligt Bud,
Men giver ingen Livet,
Gjenføder ei til Gud.
Naar vi den Gift fornemmer
Af Kjødets onde Lyst,
Og Satan Hjertet klemmer
Veed Loven ingen Trøst.
3 Den vil, at Sjælen efter
Guds Vilje fuldt skal gaa,
Dog dertil ingen Kræfter
Hos Loven er at faa;
Den siger, vi skal høre
Den Gud, som os har skabt,
Men Evne det at gjøre,
Har Sjælen ganske tabt.
4 Den Syndere kan vække
Med sine Tordenslag,
Samvittigheden skrække
Med Dommens store Dag,
Hvordan Guds Vrede brænder,
Naar den er overtraad;
Men naar man dette kjender,
Veed Loven ingen Raad.
5 Saa tager da, I Arme,
Det Ord i Hjertet ind,
At Gud vil sig forbarme
Med mer end Faders Sind,
Og gjøre eder rene
I Jesu dyre Blod,
Og Livets Kraft forlene
I eders Hjerte-Rod!
6 Gud, som os skulde straffe,
Har selv udi sin Søn
Os Redning villet skaffe,
Da Syndens beske Løn
Blev lagt paa Jesu Hjerte,
Da han for Verdens Flok
Led Dødens haarde Smerte,
Det var Betaling nok.
7 Nu er vor Gud forsonet
Og al vor Skyld forladt,
Vor Jesus han er kronet
Og Gud ved Siden sat,
Og Satan han maa høre
Den Sag med Skjæmsel paa,
Hvad vil han os nu gjøre?
Ham kan han ikke naa.
8 I Kristus fri vi blive
Fra Lovens Torden-Sky,
Gud vil i Hjertet give
Sit eget Sind paany;
Hans Aand vil Hjertet sætte
I Kjærlighedens Brand,
Og al vor Vandring rette
Til Himlens Frydeland.
9 Den Naade vil jeg prise
Til Døden inderlig,
I Gjerning vil jeg vise,
Hvad Gud har gjort mod mig;
Jeg vil ham evig tjene,
Og den Retfærdighed,
Han vilde mig forlene,
Er al den Pryd, jeg veed.

Christians, Come, in Sweetest Measures
Author: Robert Campbell; Adam of St. Victor Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #282 (1941) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: The Word Law and Gospel Lyrics: 1 Christians, come, in sweetest measures
Sing of those who spread the treasures
In the holy Gospels shrined;
Blessed tidings of salvation,
Peace on earth their proclamation,
Love from God to lost mankind.
2 See the rivers four that gladden
With their streams the better Eden,
Planted by our Savior dear.
Christ the Fountain, these the waters,
Drink, O Zion’s sons and daughters;
Drink and find salvation here.
3 Here our souls, by Jesus sated,
More and more shall be translated
Earth’s temptations far above;
Freed from sin’s abhorred dominion,
Soaring on angelic pinion,
They shall reach the Source of love.
4 Then shall thanks and praise ascending
For Thy mercies without ending
Rise to Thee, O Savior blest.
With Thy gracious aid defend us,
Let Thy guiding light attend us,
Bring us to Thy place of rest.
Amen.

O, I Forældre, ser dog paa
Author: Kingo Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #199 (1919) Topics: Law and Gospel Lyrics: 1 O, I Forældre, ser dag paa,
Hvor Josef og Maria gaa
Hen op til Herrens Tempel,
Og føre Barnet Jesus med
Til Herrens Hus og Boligs Sted,
O tager her Eksempel!
2 De kjære Børn, de Planter smaa,
Som I af Gud til Gave faa,
Om I dem Gavn vil gjøre,
Da førger for, hvor I dem kan
Ved godt Exsemple og Forstand
I Jesu Fodspor føre.
3 Det er ei nok, om de end faar
Nødtørstighed i Ungdoms Aar,
Mad, Varetægt og Klæder;
Den unge Gren den bøies vil,
Her hører Tugt og Age til,
Gudsfrygt og gode Seder.
4 Du, som er sat i Høiheds Stand,
Og du, som eier ei et Grand,
Guds Aand er rig hos begge,
Saa Børn kan i en fattig Vraa
Saavel som de, paa Slotte gaa,
Til Gudsfrygt Grunden lægge.
5 Eksempler meget her formaar,
Fordi de Unges Aasyn staar
Op paa Forældres Øie,
Den Dyd de daglig hos dem ser,
Den Synd og Last, som ved dem skeer,
Den følge de saa nøie.
6 Saa vogter eder derfor vel,
At ingen ung, unskyldig Sjæl
Af eder skal forføres,
Men at de kan i eders Trin
Omsoles udaf Dyders Skin
Og til Guds Ære røres.
7 Naar de kan gaa og tale ret,
Ser til, at Jesus bliver sæt
Dem udi Sjæle-Minde,
Til Herrens Hus ved eders Haand
Fremleder dem, paa det Guds Aand
Maa Bolig i dem finde.
8 Saa faar I se, hvordan de skal,
Som Træet i den grønne Dal,
Opvokse, Frugter bære,
Saa hæderlig en Alder faa,
Paa Visdoms Veie altid gaa
Og naadekronet være.
