433. Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice.

Es ist gewisslich an der Zeit. 87, 87, 887.

Wittenberg Gesangbuch, 1535.

[graphic]

3 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.

4 He spoke to His beloved Son:

669

Tis time to take compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,

And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever."

5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And, born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.

6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace, And sing Thy praise forever,

For granting us in dire distress
Thine everlasting favor.

Both death and hell were stricken down,
When Thou didst for our sins atone,

O Jesus, blessed Saviour.

Martin Luther, 1523.

3 I know in Whom I trust

When worldly pomp and splendor
Would lure my heart away,
For He is my Defender.

I hear His warning voice,
I feel His loving hand;
Temptations and deceits

With Him I thus withstand.

4 I know in Whom I trust

When peace and joy forsake me,
When fain my heart would break,
And sorrows overtake me.
The suffering of my Lord,

His anguish, pain, and woe
Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.

5 I know in Whom I trust
When evening shadows lengthen,
When death stands at the door,-
For Christ is there to strengthen.
He died upon the cross

To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.

6 I know in Whom I trust;

I praise Him and adore Him;
By works I show my faith;
My heart I lay before Him;
Not only crying, "Lord!"

I take Him as my Guide,
And thus in life and death
In Him alone abide.

Johan Olof Wallin, 1816.

435. There's a Wideness in God's Mercy.

Cross of Jesus. 87, 87.

JOHN STAINER, 1887.

[graphic]

3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.

4 If our faith were but more simple,
We should take Him at His Word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the presence of our Lord.
Frederick William Faber, (1814-1863), a.
