We worship Thee, almighty Lord

1. We worship Thee, almighty Lord,
our hearts revere Thy gracious Word
when it goes forth
from Heav’n o’er all the earth.
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!

2. Upon a mountain builded high,
Thy Church doth in Thy strength rely,
and standeth sure
while earth and time endure.
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!

3. Through her shall every land proclaim
the sacred might of Jesus’ Name,
and all rejoice
with Christian heart and voice.
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!

4. All nations to Thy throne shall throng
and raise on high the victory song,
while cherubim
reply to seraphim,
“Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!”

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

1. Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
sing the ending of the fray;
now above the cross, the trophy,
sound the loud triumphant lay:
tell how Christ the world’s Redeemer,
as a victim won the day.

2. He, our Maker, deeply grieving
that the first made Adam fell,
when he ate the fruit forbidden
whose reward was death and hell,
marked e’en then this Tree the ruin
of the first tree to dispel.

3. Tell how, when at length the fullness,
of th’appointed time was come,
Christ, the Word, was born of woman,
left for us His heavenly home;
showed us human life made perfect,
shone as light amid the gloom.

4. Lo! He lies an Infant weeping,
where the narrow manger stands,
while the Mother-Maid His members
wraps in mean and lowly bands,
and the swaddling clothes is winding
round His helpless feet and hands.

5. Thus, with thirty years accomplished,
went He forth from Nazareth,
destined, dedicated, willing,
wrought His work, and met His death.
Like a lamb He humbly yielded
on the cross His dying breath.

6. There the nails and spears He suffers,
vinegar, and gall, and reed;
from His sacred body piercèd
blood and water both proceed;
precious flood, which all creation
from the stain of sin hath freed.

7. Faithful cross, thou sign of triumph,
now for us the noblest tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be;
symbol of the world’s redemption,
for the weight that hung on thee!

8. Bend thy boughs, O tree of glory!
Thy relaxing sinews bend;
for awhile the ancient rigor
that thy birth bestowed, suspend;
and the King of heavenly beauty
on thy bosom gently tend!

9. Thou alone wast counted worthy
this world’s ransom to sustain,
that a shipwrecked race forever
might a port of refuge gain,
with the sacred blood anointed
of the Lamb of sinners slain.

10. To the Trinity be glory
everlasting, as is meet:
equal to the Father, equal
to the Son, and Paraclete:
God the Three in One, whose praises
all created things repeat.

My Jesus, I would ne´er forget

1. My Jesus, I would ne’er forget,
that hour I spent with Thee;
when there I saw Thy bloody sweat
in dark Gethsemane.
I’ll ne’er forget, I’ll ne’er forget,
I’ll ne’er forgetful be,
when there I saw Thy bloody sweat
in dark Gethsemane.

2. ’Twas in that olive grove I felt
that Thou hadst died for me;
alas, how great I saw my guilt
while in Gethsemane.
I´ll ne´er forget...

3. I thought of how Thy heart did throb,
while all Thine own did flee,
and left Thee with the cruel mob,
in sad Gethsemane.
I´ll ne´er forget...

4. ’Twas there I felt my grief and shame
in oft forsaking Thee,
how precious was Thy very name
in dear Gethsemane.
I´ll ne´er forget...

5. Should e’er our love to Thee grow cold,
and we forgetful be,
we’ll call to mind Thy love untold
while in Gethsemane.
I´ll ne´er forget...

Lord, Thee I love with all my heart

1. Lord, Thee I love with all my heart;
I pray Thee, ne’er from me depart;
with tender mercy cheer me.
Earth has no pleasure I would share,
yea, Heav’n itself were void and bare
if Thou, Lord, wert not near me.
And should my heart for sorrow break,
my trust in Thee can nothing shake.
Thou art the portion I have sought;
Thy precious blood my soul has bought.
Lord Jesus Christ,
my God and Lord, my God and Lord,
forsake me not! I trust Thy Word.

2. Yea, Lord, ’twas Thy rich bounty gave
my body, soul, and all I have
in this poor life of labor.
Lord, grant that I in every place
may glorify Thy lavish grace
and serve and help my neighbor.
Let no false doctrine me beguile,
let Satan not my soul defile.
Give strength and patience unto me
to bear my cross and follow Thee.
Lord Jesus Christ,
my God and Lord, my God and Lord,
in death Thy comfort still afford.

3. Lord, let at last Thine angels come,
to Abr’am’s bosom bear me home,
that I may die unfearing;
and in its narrow chamber keep
my body safe in peaceful sleep
until Thy reappearing.
And then from death awaken me,
that these mine eyes with joy may see,
o Son of God, Thy glorious face,
my Savior and my fount of grace.
Lord Jesus Christ,
my prayer attend, my prayer attend,
and I will praise Thee without end!

Lo, how a rose e´er blooming

1. Lo, how a rose e'er blooming,
from tender stem hath sprung.
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
as men of old have sung;
it came, a flow'ret bright,
amid the cold of winter,
when half spent was the night.

2. Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the Rose I have in mind,
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind;
to show God's love aright,
she bore to men a Savior,
when halfspent was the night.

3. O Flower, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispel with glorious splendour
the darkness everywhere;
true man, yet very God,
from Sin and death now save us,
and share our every load.
