Precious Word From God In Heaven

Author: Benjamin Schmolk; E. Cronenwett Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #32 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 Precious Word from God in heaven, Full of blessedness to me, All my trust to Thee is given, And my springs all rise in Thee; I in Thee find all I need, That my soul to God can lead. 2 Gracious Spirit, Thou Who showest In the Word the Father's heart, And all needful help bestowest, Light and sense to me impart, That I may the riches see Which God's Word here offers me. 3 In its solemn contemplation From vain cares let me be free, And in prayerful adoration, Stay Thou all my thoughts on Thee, That the world may not annoy While I make Thy Word my joy. 4 What I read, help me to heed it; What Thou sayest, let me do; Strength to faith grant as I need it, And remind me still anew That the faith that counts above Is e'er active here in love. 5 Let Thy grace sustain, protect me, That my ways ne'er from Thee part; Thy enlight'ning Word direct me; Seal this treasure in my heart, That my faith may steadfast prove, Till I walk by sight above. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

How Blessed Is The Little Flock

Holm Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #86 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General 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.

Beautiful Upon The Mountain

Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #93 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Beautiful upon the mountain Are the feet of shepherds true, Who from out the living Fountain Grace dispense each day anew. Precious is the peace they offer In the Savior's own dear name, Who, for us His life to proffer, From His throne in heav'n He came. 2 Earthly chains must not enslave him Who would serve our gracious Lord; In the strength the Master gave him He must preach His holy Word, Gladly bearing pain and sorrow, Self-forgetful evermore. Hoping that a brighter morrow God has kept for him in store. 3 Let him speak to ev'ry nation Of the Savior's boundless love; Let him tell of God's salvation, Of the blissful home above. Let him comfort hearts that languish In the throes of sin and pain, That, relieved from all their anguish, Peace and rest they may obtain. 4 Be it told to sinners stricken With the fear of death and hell: Christ your fainting hearts will quicken And all mortal fears dispel. Be it told to those in prison, Chained by tho'ts of doubt and care: Christ, Who died, again is risen And with you His home will share. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #100 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases And only man is vile: In vain, with lavish kindness, The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high-- Shall we to man benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story; And you, ye waters, roll Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, Returns in bliss to reign. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY HYMN

Hasten The Time Appointed

Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #101 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Hasten the time appointed, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold. Let ev'ry idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And ev'ry prayer be offered To God in Christ alone. 2 Let Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore. Let all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day. 3 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on, To pray, and hope, and labor Until dark night be gone. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, The Cause Is Thine

Author: H. Brueckner; S. Preiswerk Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #105 (1930) Meter: Irregular Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, the cause is Thine, The cause for which we pray, And since it is of Thy design, It cannot pass away. Yet ev'ry seed, its life to show, And as a fruitful plant to grow, Must perish in the silent grave; Thus losing life, our life we save, Our life we save, In truth our life we save. 2 Thro' sorrow's vale Thy pathway led To heaven's joyful plain, And we must follow Thee, our Head, If we that joy would gain. O let us, then, Thy sufferings share, And lead us to Thy kingdom fair. May we who sorrow here with Thee In yonder life Thy glory see, Thy glory see, Thy wondrous glory see. 3 Thou art in truth the grain of wheat That sank into the grave; But now in heaven is Thy seat, And Thou hast pow'r to save. So let Thy messengers proclaim To all the world Thy glorious name, Thy name repleat with bliss and joy; We, too, would stay in Thine employ, In Thine employ, O Lord, in Thine employ.

Lift Up Your Eyes, Ye Christians

Arise, go forth to gather The fruit without delay! The ripened fields are waiting; This is your harvest day. 2 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, The whole wide world to view: How plenteous the harvest, The laborers how few! How can you then be idle And linger by the way? Arise and join the reapers! This is your harvest day. 3 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, And heed the Lord's command; Go, labor in His vineyard, And lend a helping hand! Like sheep without a shepherd So many go astray, Neglected they must perish; This is your harvest day. 4 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, The harvest day is brief; O hear the cry of millions For rescue and relief! Let sacrifice and service Your life on earth portray; Help win the world for Jesus; This is your harvest day! 5 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, Soon comes the gracious Lord; He comes to claim the faithful And give them His reward. Be faithful in your service And labor as you pray; For lo, the night is coming; This is your harvest day! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB (GOODWIN)

Fellow Christians, Let Us Gather

Author: C. K. Solberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #116 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Fellow Christians, let us gather Round the banner of the cross. We must win the unchurched millions, Lest they suffer endless loss. Multitudes are daily drifting Into ways of sin and shame; Christ Himself calls ev'ry Christian Straying sinners to reclaim. 2 We must hear and heed the challenge And the urgent call obey, Coming from our teeming cities, To regain without delay Wayward brethren, errant sisters, Groping in the night of sin; Jesus bids us go and seek them And compel them to come in. 3 As we view the unsaved masses, Who like sheep have gone astray, We must meet them with compassion Lest they perish by the way. In the heart of crowded cities Where the pow'rs of evil reign, We must carry on our mission Unsaved sinners to regain. 4 Let us not, like priest and Levite, Coldly pass the wretched by; What we preach, that let us practice, Lest our lives our lips deny; Let us be our brother's keeper, Prove our faith by works of love; Saved to serve, be this our watchword, Till we join the hosts above. 5 We beseech Thee, blessed Savior, Ev'ry Christian's heart control With an ever present passion For the unconverted soul. O baptize with Thy good Spirit Ev'ry member of Thy fold! Bless the labors of Thy servants As on Pentecost of old! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER
