Author: M. Schirmer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #374 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Topics: Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in,
And in our hearts Thy work begin,
Thy temple deign to make us;
Sun of the soul, Thou Light divine,
Around and in us brightly shine,
To joy and gladness wake us.
That we To Thee truly living,
To Thee giving prayer unceasing,
Still may be in love increasing.
2 Give to Thy Word impressive power,
That in our hearts, from this good hour,
As fire it may be glowing;
That we confess the Father, Son,
And Thee, the Spirit, Three in One,
Thy glory ever showing.
O stay And sway our souls ever,
That they never may forsake Thee,
But by faith their refuge make Thee.
3 Thou Fountain whence all wisdom flows,
Which God on pious hearts bestows,
Grant us Thy consolation,
That in our pure faith's unity
We faithful witnesses may be,
Of grace that brings salvation.
Hear us, cheer us by Thy teaching;
Let our preaching and our labor
Praise Thee, Lord, and bless our neighbor.
4 Left to ourselves we shall but stray;
O lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us,
And give us steadfastness, that we
May ever faithful prove to Thee,
Lord, now heal Thou all hearts broken;
And betoken Thou art near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us.
5 Thy heavenly strength sustain our heart,
That we may act the valiant part
With Thee as our reliance;
Be Thou our refuge and our shield,
That we may never quit the field,
Bidding all foes defiance;
Descend, defend from all errors
And earth's terrors: Thy salvation
Be our constant consolation.
6 O mighty Rock, O Source of life,
Let Thy dear word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning,
That we be faithful unto death,
In Thy pure love and holy faith,
From Thee true wisdom learning!
Thy grace and peace on us shower;
By Thy power Christ confessing,
Let us win our Savior's blessing.
7 O gentle Dew, from heaven now fall
With power upon the hearts of all,
Thy tender love instilling;
That heart, to heart more closely bound,
Fruitful in kindly deeds be found,
The law of love fulfilling;
Then, Lord, discord shall not grieve Thee;
We receive Thee; where Thou livest,
Peace, and love, and joy Thou givest.
8 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In purest holiness be passed,
Be Thou our strength forever;
Grant that our hearts henceforth be free
From sinful lust and vanity,
Which us from Thee must sever.
Keep Thou pure now from offenses
Heart and senses. Blessed Spirit!
Let us heavenly life inherit. Tune Title: [O Holy Spirit, enter in]

Christ confessing,
We will cherish all your blessing. Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel, 1817-77 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #178 (1982) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
Ev'ry knee shall bow,
Ev'ry tongue confess him
King of glory now.
’Tis the Father’s pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 At his voice creation
Sprang at once to sight,
All the angel faces,
All the hosts of light,
Thrones and dominations,
Stars upon their way,
All the heav'nly orders
In their great array.
3 Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners
Unto whom he came,
Faithfully he bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious
When from death he passed;
4 Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father’s breast,
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
5 In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown him as your captain
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and pow'r.
6 Christians, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again
In his Father's glory,
With his angel train;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
7 Glory then to Jesus,
Who, the Prince of light,
To a world in darkness
Brought the gift of sight;
Praise to God the Father;
In the Spirit's love
Praise we all together
Him who reigns above. Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON

In endless hymns through all our days.

And set us free from doubt that blinds.
3 Then shall we join the hosts that cry,
"O holy, holy Lord Most High!"
And in the light of that blest place
We then shall see You face to face.
4 All glory to the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!

Be praise throughout eternity!

O how holy is this place
Author: B. Schmolk Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #45 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 O how holy is this place
Where the Lord a house hath given!
Here we come before His face;
This must be the gate of heaven.
Here His Word proclaims His grace.
O how holy is this place!
2 Thousand thanks, great God, arise
Unto Thee, in grace excelling.
Who, though filling all the skies,
Yet dost make this house Thy dwelling,
And to us dost here dispense
Thy pure word and sacraments.
3 Hitherto upon this house
Hath salvation surely rested.
Here our God hath been with us,
And Himself hath manifested.
Here His Spirit He hath given
To reveal the way to heaven.
4 O how lovely, meet and right
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.
5 Dearest Guest, with us abide,
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.

Dying in weakness, but rising to reign. Languages: English Tune Title: AMERICAN HYMN

For the bliss thy love bestows,

This dull soul to rapture raise;
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.

Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away.
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. A-men.
3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express;
Low before thy footstool kneeling,
Deign thy suppliant’s prayer to bless;
Let thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth thy praise.
A-men.
