Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing, In the battle well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend, who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 4 Now I sink before Thee lowly, Filled with joy most deep and holy, As with trembling awe and wonder On Thy mighty work I ponder, How by mystery surrounded, Depths no man hath ever sounded, None may dare to pierce unbidden, Secrets that with Thee are hidden. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth. At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee. By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

But what art Thou to them that find? 4 Jesus, Thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No pen can write its blessedness: He only who hath proved it knows What bliss from love of Jesus flows. 6 O Jesus, King of wondrous might! O Victor, glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest! 7 Remain with us, O Lord, today! In every heart Thy grace display; That now the shades of night are fled, On Thee our spirits may be fed. 8 I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 9 With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For Him with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 10 Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne: My heart hath also passed from me, That where He is there it may be. 11 We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With Him to gain the heavenly seat.

My Heart, Prepare To Give Account

Author: P. C. Paulsen; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #69 (1930) Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Lyrics: 1 My heart, prepare to give account Of all thy sore transgression; To Him Who is all mercies' Fount Make thou a full confession. Recount what thou in all these years Of sin and guilt hast hoarded, And what in God's own book appears, With faithfulness recorded. 2 Soon will thy earthly course be run, No single day returning; But what thou good or ill hast done, Thy God is now discerning; When He to judgment calleth thee, Thou shalt with fear and trembling Thy sinful deeds in order see, No longer then dissembling. 3 Here thy conceit and ill desire Thou many times concealest; Thy evil lust, that burning fire, Thou nevermore revealest; Thou thinkest, This is hidden well, No soul shall ever know it. The day of judgment all shall tell, Its searching light will show it. 4 Remember, then, how swiftly went The years of grace He gave thee; What if today His call were sent, Without a chance to save thee! If thou hast still a few more days To be for death preparing, Then hasten to amend thy ways, By grace good fruitage bearing. 5 O bend thy knees, thy sins to take Before God's throne in heaven, And pray that grace for Jesus' sake To thee be freely given. Then by His power from above, By His own Holy Spirit, Thou shalt increase in faith and love, Till heaven thou inherit. Languages: English Tune Title: BERGGREN
