A song of praise to Christ

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDLXXXIX (1792) Topics: Praise to God the redeemer; Song of praise to the Redeemer First Line: Come every pious heart Lyrics: 1 Come, every pious heart That loves the savior’s name, Your noblest powers exert To celebrate his fame; Tell all above, and all below; That debt of love, to him you owe. 2 Such was his zeal for God, and such his love for you, He nobly undertook What Gabriel could not do: His every deed of love and grace All words exceed, and thoughts surpass. 3 He left his starry crown And laid His robes aside; On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died: What he endur'd, O who can tell? To save our souls from death and hell. 4 From the dark grave he rose, The mansions of the dead; And thence his mighty foes In glorious triumph led: Up thro' the sky the conqueror rode; And reigns on high, the savior God. 5 From thence he’ll quickly come, His chariot will not stay, And bear our spirits home To realms of endless day: There shall we see his lovely face, And ever be in his embrace. 6 Jesus, we ne’er can pay The debt we owe thy love; Yet, tell us how we may Our gratitude approve: Our hearts, our all, to thee we give: The gift, tho' small, thou wilt receive.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.V (1766) Topics: Praise to teh Redeemer; Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my Tho'ts with Wonder roll O'er the sharp Sorrows of thy Soul; And read my Maker's broken Laws, Repair'd and honour'd by thy Cross: 2 When I behold Death, Hell, and Sin, Vanquish'd by that dear Blood of thine, And see the Man that groan'd and dy'd Sit glorious by his Father's Side: 3 My Passions rise and soar above, I'm wing'd with Faith, and fir'd with Love; Fain would I reach eternal Things, And learn the Notes that Gabriel sings. 4 But my Heart fails, my Tongue complains, For Want of their immortal Strains; And in such humble Notes as these Must fall below thy Victories. 5 Well, the kind Minute must appear, When we shall leave these Bodies here; These Clogs of Clay, and mount on high, To join the Songs above the Sky.

O Thou Essential Word

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a275 (1895) Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 O Thou Essential Word, Who wast from the beginning With God, for Thou wast God; Thou hope of all the sinning, Sent down to save our race, Most welcome, Lord, Thou art, Redeemer, Fount of grace, To this my longing heart. 2 Come, self-existent Word, And speak Thou in my spirit! The soul where Thou art heard Doth endless peace inherit. Thou light that lightenest all, Abide through faith in me, Nor let me from Thee fall, And seek no guide but Thee. 3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart, What cry hath mounted thither, And reached Thy heavenly throne, And drawn Thee, Savior, hither? It was Thy wondrous love, And my most utter need, Made Thy compassions move, Stronger than death indeed. 4 Then let me give my heart To Him who loved me, wholly; And live, while here I dwell, To show His praises solely: Yes, Jesus, form anew This stony heart of mine, Make it till death still true To Thee, forever Thine. 5 Let naught be left within But what Thy hand hath planted; Root out the weeds of sin, And quell the foe who haunted My soul, and sowed the tares; From Thee comes nothing ill, O save me from his snares, Make plain my pathway still. 6 Thou art the Life, O Lord, And Thou its Light art only! Let not Thy blessèd rays Still leave me dark and lonely. Star of the East, arise! Drive all my clouds away, Till earth’s dim twilight dies Into the perfect day. Languages: English
