Eber Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #209 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Topics: The Church Year New Year; The Church Year New Year Lyrics: 1 To God the anthem raising, Sing, Christians, great and small, Sing out, His goodness praising, O think Him one and all! Behold, how God this year, Which now is safely ended Hath in His love befriended His children far and near. 2 Let us consider rightly His mercies manifold, And let us not think lightly Of all His gifts untold! Let thankfulness recall How God this year hath led us, How He hath clothed and fed us, The great ones and the small. 3 To Church and State He granted His peace in every place, His vineyard He hath planted Among us by His grace; His ever-bounteous hand Prosperity hath given, And want and famine driven From this our Christian land. 4 Our God us well defended, He kept us through His grace; But if He had contended With us, our sins to trace, And given us our meed, We all had then been lying In sin and sorrow, dying Each one for his misdeed. 5 His Father-heart is yearning To take us for His own, When our transgressions mourning, We trust in Christ alone; When in His name we pray, And humbly make confession, He pardons our transgression, And is our faithful stay. 6 O Father dear in heaven, For all Thy gifts of love, Which Thou to us hast given, We lift our thanks above, In Jesus' name we here, To Thee our prayers addressing, Still ask Thee for Thy blessing: Grant us a joyful year! Grant us a peaceful year! With mercies crown this year! Tune Title: [To God the anthem raising]

How fair the Church of Christ shall stand

Author: T. Kingo Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #406 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How fair the Church of Christ shall stand, A beacon-light in all the land, When love and faith all hearts inspire, And all unite in one desire To be as brothers, and agree To live in peace and unity. 2 'Tis all in vain that you profess The doctrines of the Church, unless You live according to your creed, And show your faith by word and deed. Observe the rule: To others do As you would have them do to you. 3 Resentment, hate, and cruel jest, Must not be harbored in the breast Where love and charity should dwell; Then, think and speak of others well, Refrain from all that causes strife And mars a truly Christian life. 4 So let your tongue, your heart, and mind Agree to banish every kind Of malice, falsehood and disguise, And here on earth a paradise Of peace and harmony maintain, Where concord and good-will shall reign. 5 For God observes our thoughts and deeds, The secrets of our heart He reads; The wicked can not be concealed, Their evil ways shall be revealed, He every true believer knows, And love and grace on him bestows. 6 My soul, be therefore of good cheer, Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer, Serenely on your way proceed, Nor worldly strife and clamor heed, For Jesus' sake the cross you bear, And soon with Him the crown shall wear. 7 O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart So fashion in each secret part, That Thou be sanctified in me, Till Thee in heaven above I see, Where holy, holy, holy, Lord, We sing to Thee with sweet accord.
