That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love Thee for Thyself,
And for that love obey.
2 O Thou, our soul's chief Hope!
We to Thy mercy fly;
What'er we are, Thou canst protect,
What'er we need, supply.
3 Whether we sleep or wake,
To Thee we both resign;
The darkest night is as the day,
If Thy light on us shine.
4 Whether we live or die,
Both we submit to Thee;
In death we live as well as life,
If Thine in faith we be. Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS

As thro' life we glide;
Faithfully in our behavior
May we follow Thee, dear Savior,
Lead us by Thy hand
Thro' to fatherland.
2 When the world is cold,
Let us to Thee hold;
When the cup of sorrow draining,
May we do so uncomplaining;
For thro' trials we
Find our way to Thee.
3 When affliction's smart
Anguishes the heart--
Though our life be woe and weakness,
Help us bear our cross in meekness;
May we keep in mind,
God's a Father kind.
4 Order Thou our ways,
Lord! Through all our days;
Though our path be dark and cheerless,
Jesus with us, we'll be fearless;
Open, when life's o'er,
Lord! to us Thy door! Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS BE OUR GUIDE (Seelenbräutigam)

Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #420 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
Christ is near,
What can here
E’er of Him deprive me?
Who can rob me of my heaven
That God’s Son,
As mine own,
To my faith hath given?
2 God oft gives me days of gladness,
Shall I grieve
If He give
Seasons too of sadness?
God is good, and tempers ever
Every hurt;
Me desert
Wholly can He never.
3 What is all this life possesseth?
But a hand
Full of sand
That the heart distresseth.
Noble gifts that tire me never,
Christ so free
There gives me
To enjoy forever.
4 Shepherd! Lord! joy's fountain ever,
Thou art mine, I am Thine,
No one can us sever.
I am thine because Thou gavest
Life and blood
For my good,
By Thy death me savest.
5 Thou art mine, I love and own Thee,
Ne'er shall I, Light of joy,
From my heart dethrone Thee.
Let me, let me
Soon behold Thee
Face to face;
Thy embrace,
May it soon enfold me! Languages: English Tune Title: LÜNEBURG (Warum sollt' ich mich denn graemen)
Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
I know full well death must befall me
Author: Solomon Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #431 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 I know full well death must befall me;
I know not when, or where, or how:
It may be that my God will call me
To-day, to-morrow, even now;
Ere yet this present hour is fled,
This living body may be dead.
2 I know, --God hath this knowledge given--
To me death is not death, indeed;
To me death is a gate to heaven,
A bound and end of all my need,
A gentle evening, peaceful, blest,
When I have passed from toil to rest.
3 Lord, let my soul, with unfeigned gladness,
In living faith Thy call await
To leave its cave of sin and sadness,
And this vain world for heaven's estate;
O keep my heart prepared alway,
To lay aside this mortal clay.
4 Lord, grant that, by contrition riven,
My heart I daily offer Thee,
And let me close this life for heaven,
Sealed by Thy death and agony:
O let Thy death, with passion rife,
My comfort be, my balm and life.
5 Lord, daily let me die then, ever;
And at the last stand Thou by me,
That death may not from Thee sever,
But bring me nearer unto Thee!
Then welcome my last hour shall be,
When, where, and how it pleaseth Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RUDOLSTADT (Wer weiss wie nahe mir mein Ende)
I know full well death must befall me
When my last hour is close at hand
Author: Nicolaus Herman; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #435 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
And I must hence betake me,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus, by me stand,
Nor let Thine aid forsake me;
To Thy blest hands I now commend
My soul, at this my earthly end,
And Thou wilt safely keep it.
2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore,
My conscience cannot slumber;
But I will cleave to Thee the more,
Though they the sands outnumber;
I will remember Thou didst die,
Will think on Thy most bitter cry;
Thy sufferings shall uphold me.
3 That was graft into the Vine,
Hence will I comfort borrow;
For Thou wilt surely keep me Thine
Through fear, and pain, and sorrow;
Yea, though I die, I die to Thee:
For Thou through death didst win for me
The right to life eternal.
4 Since Thou didst leave the grave again,
It cannot be my dwelling:
Thou art in heaven, this soothes my pain,
All fear of death dispelling;
For Thou wilt have me where Thou art,
And so with joy can I depart,
To be with Thee forever.
5 To Thee I now stretch out mine arms,
And gladly hence betake me;
I sleep at peace from all alarms,
No human voice can wake me.
But Christ is with me through the strife,
And He will bear me into life,
And open heaven before me. Languages: English Tune Title: STRASBURG (Herr, wie du willst, so schick's)
When my last hour is close at hand
There is an hour of hallowed peace
Author: William Bingham Tappan Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #455a (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace,
For those with care oppress'd,
When sighs and sorr'wing tears shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest:
2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears,
And doubts here here annoy:
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.
3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore:
4 There purity with love appears,
And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES (Durham)
There is an hour of hallowed peace
The Spirit's fruits are peace and love
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #383 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love,
And purity from heav'n above;
Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy,
With goodness, new-born lives employ.
2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain,
Imparts the grace that will sustain;
And grace its work in those who show,
Who truly to the Spirit sow.
3 They that are Christ's have crucified
Their flesh with all its lusts and pride,
And seek in truth what they profess,
And walk the paths of holiness.
4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart,
Nor let Thy Spirit from us part;
O save us from still hidden sin,
And form our nature pure within:
5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong,
We grow the more as strifes prolong,
And of the Spirit reap at last
Eternal life, when strife is past. Languages: English Tune Title: WARNER

Go to dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #384a (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter's power,
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with Him one bitter hour;
Turn not from His griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall,
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss,
Learn of Him to bear the cross.
3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb,
There, adoring at His feet,
Mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finished!" hear Him cry:
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb,
Where they laid His breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is ris'n; He meets our eyes!
Savior, teach us so to rise. Languages: English Tune Title: CALVARY (Macht dich, mein geist, bereit)
Go to dark Gethsemane
Father of all our mercies, Thou
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #385 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Father of all our mercies, Thou
In whom we move and live,
Hear us in heav'n, Thy dwelling, now,
And answer and forgive.
2 When harassed by ten thousand foes,
Our helplessness we feel,
O give the weary soul repose,
The wounded spirit heal.
3 When dire temptations gather round,
And threaten or allure,
By storm or calm, in Thee be found
A refuge strong and sure.
4 From day to day, O may we grow
In faith, in hope, and love,
And walk in holiness below
To holiness above. Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI
Father of all our mercies, Thou
The man is ever blessed
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #386 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 That man is ever blest
Who shuns the sinner' ways;
Amongst their councils never stands,
Nor takes a scorner's place:
2 But makes the law of God
Hid study and delight,
Amidst the labors of the day
And watches of the night;
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root:
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live,
His works are heavenly fruit.
4 Not so th' ungodly race:
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and He approves
The way the righteous go:
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow. Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLE
The man is ever blessed
