Who is there like Thee
Author: J.A. Freylinghausen Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #30 (1913) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Who is there like Thee,
Jesus, unto me?
None are like Thee, none above Thee
Thou art altogether lovely;
None on earth have we,
None in heaven like Thee.
2 Love that warmly glowed,
Blood that freely flowed;
Life that stooped to death to save me,
And a deathless being gave me;
Bore my guilty load,
Brought me back to God!
3 Plant thyself in me,
I will learn of Thee,
To be holy, meek, and tender.
Wrath and pride and self surrender:
Nothing shouldst thou see
But Thyself in me.
4 When on death's cold strand
I one day shall stand,
Let Thy presence go beside me,
Through the gloomy waters guide me:
Grant me then to stand,
Lord, at Thy right hand. Tune Title: [Who is there like Thee]
Who is there like Thee
Pleasant are Thy courts above
Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #32 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe.
O, my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of Thy saints,
For the brightness of Thy face,
For Thy fullness, God of grace!
2 Happy souls! their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies;
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length;
At Thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
3 Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin,
Keep me by Thy saving grace,
Give me at Thy side a place.
Sun and shield alike Thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart;
Grace and glory flow from Thee:
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Tune Title: [Pleasant are Thy courts above]
Pleasant are Thy courts above
Open now thy gates of beauty
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; B. Schmolk Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #35 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Worship in General Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Open now Thy gates of beauty,
Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul, in joyful duty,
Waits for Him who answers prayer;
O how blessed is this place,
Filled with solace, light, and grace.
2 Lord, my God, I come before Thee,
Do not hide Thy face from me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee
There a heaven on earth must be;
To my heart, O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted,
Here Thy seed is duly sown:
Let my soul, where it is planted,
Bring forth precious sheaves alone,
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken,
Let me keep Thy gift divine;
Howsoe'er temptations thicken,
May Thy word forever shine
As my guiding star through life,
As my comfort in the strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee;
Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thou dost Thy people feed;
Here of living waters flow,
Here is balm for all our woe.

With Thy word assure, uphold me
Till the heavenly gates enfold me. Tune Title: [Dearest Jesus draw Thou near me]

Yet dost make this house Thy dwelling,
And to us dost here dispense
Thy pure word and sacraments.

Hath salvation surely rested.
Here our God hath been with us,
And Himself hath manifested.

To reveal the way to heaven.

In His temple to adore Him!
Let us now in Him delight,
And with gladness come before Him.
Treasures lasting, precious, pure,
From above we here secure.

With Thy holy word still feed us;
Hitherto by Thee supplied,
Still be living waters lead us!
Keep Thy Church on earth secure
While the earth itself endure.
