O Lord, our languid souls inspire

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #493 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace Public Worship Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our languid souls inspire, For here we trust thou art! Send down a coal of heav'nly fire, To warm each waiting heart. 2 Show us some tokens of thy love, Our fainting hope to raise; And pour thy blessing from above, That we may render praise. 3 Within these walls let holy praise, And love and concord dwell; Here give the troubled conscience ease, The wounded spirit heal. 4 The feeling heart, the melting eye, The humble mind bestow; And shine upon us from on high, To make our graces grow! 5 May we in faith receive thy word, In faith present our pray'rs; And in the presence of our Lord, Unbosom all our cares. 6 And may the gospel's joyful sound, Enforc'd by mighty grace, Awaken sinners all around To come and fill the place.

Lord, at thy table I behold

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #524 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Lord, at thy table I behold The wonders of thy grace; But most of all admire that I Should find a welcome place: 2 I that am all defil'd with sin, A rebel to my God; I that have crucified his Son, And trampled on his blood. 3 What strange surprising grace is this, That such a soul has room! My Saviour takes me by the hand, My Jesus bids me come. 4 'Eat, O my friends,' the Saviour cries, 'The feast was made for you; For you I groan'd, and bled, and died, And rose, and triumph'd too.' 5 With trembling faith, and bleeding hearts, Lord, we accept thy love: 'Tis a rich banquet we have had, What will it be above! 6 Ye saints below, and hosts of heaven, Join all your praising powers; No theme is like redeeming love, No Saviour is like ours. 7 Had I ten thousand hearts, dear Lord, I'd give them all to thee: Had I ten thousand tongues, they all Should join the harmony.

Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #12 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God Lyrics: 1 Shall atheists dare insult the cross Of our Redeemer God? Shall infidels reproach his laws, Or trample on his blood? 2 What if he choose mysterious ways, To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? 3 What if his gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self, and sin? The prize is most divinely bright, Which we are call'd to win. 4 What if the foolish, and the poor His glorious grace partake? This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. 5 Do some that own his sacred name, Indulge their souls in sin? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clean. 6 Then let our faith grow firm and strong, Our lips profess his word; Nor blush, nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord.

At Jesus' Feet Our Infant Sweet

Author: M. Loy Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #38 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1. At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all its stain, That renders it for heav'n unmeet Until 'tis born again: We here embrace His proffered grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- The bath its soul will save. 2. We fail to see the Holy Three Concealed the fount within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleanses us from sin; But who may tell what virtues dwell Thro' God's Word in that flood, Or who the simple faith repel That owns it Jesus' blood? 3. We bring our child by sin defiled, Then, dearest Lord, to Thee; Here clothe it in Thy nature mild, From sin here make it free; And buried here in death severe, To new life may it rise, And trained for Thee, with Thee appear Immortal in the skies. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Deck Thyself, My Soul, With Gladness

Author: Catherine Winkworth; J. Franck Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #48 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Lyrics: 1. Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness. Come thou forth and cease repining, In the daylight's splendor shining, For the Lord of our salvation Doth regard thy lowly station. He in highest heaven reigneth, Yet to be thy Guest He deigneth. 2. Hasten as His bride, to meet Him And with loving rev'rence greet Him, Who with words of life immortal Knocketh at Thy spirit's portal. Open thou the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him: Come, in homage let me kiss Thee, That no longer I may miss Thee. 3. Ah, how hungry is my spirit For the grace I do not merit! Ah, how oft, when sorrows tire, Doth my soul this food desire! In the battle well nigh worsted, For this cup of life I thirsted, Wanting Him Who here invites me And as God with God unites me. 4. Now with joy and yet with wonder On this feast my soul doth ponder; For the mystery unbounded, Which no reason e'er hath sounded, Lets me witness at this hour, Lord, the greatness of Thy power; Quite beyond all human telling Is the pow'r within Thee dwelling. 5 All our reason cannot measure, Lord, the secret of this treasure Never growing less, though feeding All who for Thy grace are pleading With Thy flesh and blood from heaven When the bread and wine are given. Oh, these mysteries unbounded Are by God alone expounded. 6 Jesus, Sun of joy and gladness, Light to banish all my sadness, Love that gifts on me bestoweth, Fount whence all my being floweth, Here I humbly kneel before Thee And for worthiness implore Thee, To receive that bread from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 7 Thou by fervent love wast driven, Lord, to leave Thy throne in heaven, Willingly for us to languish On the cross in bitter anguish, To forego all joy and gladness And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we now in truth are drinking, While of Thee, our Savior, thinking. 8 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee: Never to my hurt invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, Thy love's unbounded treasure; When at last my senses leave me, As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #85 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed thee for His own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love Well supply thy sons and daughters And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity. I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HARWELL
