In the midst of earthly life

   

1. In the midst of earthly life 
snares of death surround us; 
who shall help us in the strife L
lest the Foe confound us? 
Thou only, Lord, Thou only. 
We mourn that we have greatly erred, 
that our sins Thy wrath have stirred. 
Holy and righteous God! 
Holy and mighty God! 
Holy and allmerciful Savior! 
Eternal Lord God! 
Save us lest we perish 
in the bitter pangs of death. 
Have mercy, O Lord! 

2. In the midst of death's dark vale 
powers of hell o'ertake us. 
Who will help when they assail, 
who secure will make us? 
Thou only, Lord, Thou only. 
Thy heart is moved with tenderness, 
pities us in our distress. 
Holy and righteous God! 
Holy and mighty God! 
Holy and allmerciful Savior! 
Eternal Lord God! 
Save us lest we perish 
in the bitter pangs of death. 
Have mercy, O Lord! 

3. In the midst of utter woe 
all our sins oppress us, 
where shall we for refuge go, 
where for grace to bless us? 
To Thee, Lord Jesus, only. 
Thy precious blood was shed to win 
full atonement for our sin. 
Holy and righteous God! 
Holy and mighty God! 
Holy and allmerciful Savior! 
Eternal Lord God! 
Save us lest we perish 
in the bitter pangs of death. 
Have mercy, O Lord!

The Lord´s my Shepherd, I´ll not want



 

För en oändlig musikslinga, lyssna här!

1. The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; 

He makes me down to lie 
in pastures green; He leadeth me 
the quiet waters by. 

2. My soul He doth restore again, 
and me to walk doth make 
within the paths of righteousness, 
e’en for His own name’s sake. 

3. Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, 
yet will I fear no ill; 
for Thou art with me, and Thy rod 
and staff me comfort still. 

4. My table Thou hast furnished 
in presence of my foes; 
my head Thou dost with oil anoint, 
and my cup overflows. 

5. Goodness and mercy all my life 
shall surely follow me, 
and in God’s house forevermore 
my dwelling-place shall be.

Our day of joy is here again





1. Our day of joy is here again, 
with love and peace and song.
Come, let us join th’angelic strain 
with voices clear and strong. 
Glory to our God, we sing, 
glory to our Lord and King; 
peace, goodwill with all abide 
this holy Christmas tide. 

2. When darkness lay upon this earth, 
a glorious light did shine; 
God sent a Gift of priceless worth 
and showed His love divine. 
Glory to our God...

3. Now to the manger let us go 
to worship and adore 
the tender Babe upon the straw, 
our Savior evermore.
Glory to our God...

4. How wonderful that God’s own Son 
should so Himself abase! 
He thrust the mighty from their throne, 
and gave the lowly grace.
Glory to our God...

God be with you till we meet again




1. God be with you till we meet again, 
by His counsels guide, uphold you, 
with His sheep securely fold you; 
God be with you till we meet again. 
Till we meet, till we meet, 
till we meet at Jesus’ feet; 
till we meet, till we meet, 
God be with you till we meet again. 

2. God be with you till we meet again; 
neath His wings protecting hide you; 
daily manna still provide you; 
God be with you till we meet again.  
Till we meet...

3. God be with you till we meet again; 
with the oil of joy anoint you; 
sacred ministries appoint you; 
God be with you till we meet again. 
Till we meet... 

4. God be with you till we meet again; 
when life’s perils thick confound you,
put His arms unfailing round you; 
God be with you till we meet again. 
Till we meet.. 

5. God be with you till we meet again; 
of His promises remind you; 
for life’s upper garner bind you; 
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet...

6. God be with you till we meet again; 
sicknesses and sorrows taking, 
never leaving or forsaking; 
God be with you till we meet again. 
Till we meet... 

7. God be with you till we meet again; 
keep love’s banner floating o’er you, 
strike death’s threatening wave before you; 
God be with you till we meet again. 
Till we meet...

8. God be with you till we meet again; 
ended when for you earth’s story, 
Israel’s chariot sweep to glory; 
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet...

Come, Thou fount of every blessing






1. Come, thou Fount of every blessing, 
tune my heart to sing thy grace; 
streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
call for songs of loudest praise. 
Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
sung by flaming tongues above. 
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, 
mount of thy redeeming love. 

2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; 
hither by thy help I'm come; 
and I hope, by thy good pleasure, 
safely to arrive at home. 
Jesus sought me when a stranger, 
wandering from the fold of God; 
he, to rescue me from danger, 
interposed his precious blood. 

3. O to grace how great a debtor 
daily I'm constrained to be! 
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee. 
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, 
prone to leave the God I love; 
here's my heart, O take and seal it, 
seal it for thy courts above.

Free from the law

 


1. Free from the law, O happy condition, 
Jesus has bled and there is remission,
cursed by the law and bruised by the fall, 
grace hath redeemed us once for all. 
Once for all, O sinner, receive it, 
once for all, O brother, believe it; 
cling to the cross, the burden will fall, 
Christ hath redeemed us once for all. 

2. Now we are free, there’s no condemnation, Jesus provides a perfect salvation. 
“Come unto Me,” O hear His sweet call, 
come, and He saves us once for all. 
Once for all...

3.“Children of God,” O glorious calling, 
surely His grace will keep us from falling; 
passing from death to life at His call; 
blessèd salvation once for all.
Once for all...

Break forth, break forth




1. Break forth, break forth, o joyful heart, 
and make His goodness known, 
who all thy life, though undeserved, 
such love to thee has shown. 
Break forth, break forth, o joyful heart, 
no longer silent be; 
break forth in grateful praise to him 
who came to ransom Thee. 

2. ’Twas Jesus sought my wand’ring soul, 
and with a shepherd’s care 
he brought me kindly to his fold, 
and still protects me there. 
He is my Advocate with God, 
my Savior and my Friend, 
his mercies new with every morn 
like balmy showers descend.

3. My soul shall magnify the Lord, 
my voice his love proclaim, 
and every power within me join 
to bless and praise his Name. 
Break forth, break forth, o joyful heart, 
no longer silent be; 
break forth in grateful praise to him 
who came to ransom Thee.
