All who believe and are baptized shall see the Lord’s salvation;
Baptized into the death of Christ, they are a new creation;
Through Christ’s redemption they will stand among the glorious
Heavenly band of every tribe and nation.
+++++
With one accord, O God, we pray, grant us thy Holy Spirit;
Help us in our infirmity through Jesus’ blood and merit;
Grant us to grow in grace each day by holy Baptism,
That we may eternal life inherit.

1. Praise to Thee and adoration,
Blessed Jesus, Son of God,
Who, to serve Thine own creation,
Didst partake of flesh and blood.
Teach me that I never may
From Thy fold or pastures stray,
But with zeal and joy exceeding
Follow where Thy steps are leading.
2. Let me never, Lord, forsake Thee,
E’en tho’ bitter pain and strife
On my way shall overtake me;
But may I thro’ all my life
Walk in fervent love to Thee,
In all woes for comfort flee
To Thy birth, Thy death, and Passion
Till I see Thy full salvation.

1. How fair the Church of Christ shall stand,
A beacon in all the land,
When love and faith all hearts inspire,
And all unite in one desire
To be a fam’ly and agree
To live in peace and unity.
2. ‘Tis all vain that you profess
The doctrines of the Church, unless
You live according to your creed,
And show your faith by word and deed.
Observe the rule: To others do
As you would have them do to you.
3. Resentment, hate, and cruel jest,
Must not be harbored in the breast
Where love and charity should dwell;
Then think and speak of others well,
Refrain from all that causes strife
And mars a truly Christian life.
4. So let your tongue, your heart, and mind
Agree to banish ev’ry kind
Of malice, falsehood, and disguise,
And here on earth a paradise
Of peace and harmony maintain,
Where concord and good will shall reign.
5. For God observes our thoughts and deeds,
The secrets of our heart He reads;
The wicked cannot be concealed,
Their evil ways shall be revealed,
He ev’ry true believer knows,
And love and grace on him bestows.
6. My soul, be therefore of good cheer,
Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer,
Serenely on your way proceed,
Nor worldly strife and clamor heed,
For Jesus’ sake the cross you bear,
And soon with Him the crown shall wear.
7. O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart
So fashion in each secret part,
That Thou be sanctified in me,
Till Thee in heav’n above I see,
Where holy, holy, holy Lord,
We sing to Thee with one accord.

1. Lord Jesus Christ, receive me now,
As with a contrite heart I bow
Before Thine altar, blessed Lamb,
Who bore my sorrow, sin, and shame.
2. I am today my Savior’s guest
Bethink, my soul, the honor blest,
That He, thy lord, will sup with thee,
And will Himself thy nurture be.
3. To thee He offers with the bread
His body which for sin hast paid,
And with the wine, the precious blood,
He shed for thine eternal good.
4. How this is done, I cannot tell,
He did not on its myst’ry dwell.
No mind the secret can perceive;
It is enough that I believe.
5. Rejoice, then, O my soul, today,
That God’s anointed servant may
Extend to thee the gift most free,
Through which the Lord unites with thee.
6. O Lord, I offer Thee my soul
To nourish, strengthen, and make whole.
Uphold me by Thy means of grace,
Until I see Thee face to face.

1. O dearest Lord, receive from me
The heartfelt thanks I offer Thee,
Who thro’ Thy body and the Thy blood,
Hast wrought my soul’s eternal good.
2. Break forth, my soul, in joy and praise,
What wealth is mine this day of days!
My Jesus dwells within my soul;
Let ev’ry tongue His grace extol.

1. I come, invited by Thy word,
To kneel before Thine altar, Lord.
Receive me, then, and bid me stay
With Thee, the Life, the Truth, the Way.
2. Oh, grant my soul the heav’nly food,
Thy blessed body and Thy blood.
Enrich me thro’ this means of grace
And make my heart Thy dwelling place.
3. Forgive my sins, supply my need,
Forget, forget each wrongful deed.
Do Thou in love with me abide
And let Thy Spirit be my Guide.

1. Softly now the day is ending,
Night o’er hill and vale descending;
I will kneel before Thee, Lord.
Unto Thee my thanks I render
That Thou didst, in mercy tender,
Life and peace to me accord.
2. May Thy Church Thy peace inherit;
Guide our leaders by Thy Spirit;
Give our country strength and peace.
To the sinner, sad and dreary,
To each Christian, faint and weary,
Give Thou solace and surcease.
3. Keep me, Jesus, while I slumber,
Free from perils without number;
Shield me, Master, in Thy might,
That, released from sin and sorrow,
I may sing this song tomorrow:
Jesus was my sun this night.

1. There came a message from the sky,
God hath the earth befriended,
His Son who dwells in heaven high,
By angel hosts attended,
Will now your flesh and blood put on
As David’s Son,
Your wretched state is ended.
2. It first to Nazareth did come
By Gabriel expounded,
To Mary, in her humble home,
So wonderful it sounded;
O Mary, hail, thou shalt not fear,
The Lord is near,
To Thee hath grace abounded!
3. The Holy Spirit shall to thee
His boundless power render,
Abundant shall the mercy be
From Jacob’s house be given;
He shall extend to ev’ry race
His reign of grace,
His kingdom, like a leaven.
4. The Holy Spirit shall to thee
His boundless power render,
Abundant shall the mercy be
From Him, thy strong Defender;
This Child is therefore from above,
Whom thou shalt love
As mother kind and tender.
5. Come, Christmas Child, and be my guest,
Give me Thy Holy Spirit,
Prepare my heart and make it blest
Forever through Thy merit,
That I at last may dwell with Thee,
Thy kingdom see,
And all its gifts inherit.

1. The Sun arises now
In light and glory
And gilds the rugged brow
Of mountains hoary;
Be glad, my soul, and lift
Thy voice in singing
To God from earth below,
Thy heart with joy aglow
And praises ringing.
2. Like countless grains of sand,
Beyond all measure,
And wide the sea and land
Is Heaven’s treasure
Of grace which God anew
Each day bestoweth,
And which like pouring rain
Into my soul again
Each morning floweth.
3. He has throughout the night
My home surrounded
With angel hosts of light
And pow’r unbounded,
So I with mine did rest
In peaceful slumber
Until from deep repose
The day again arose
From darkness somber.
4. Keep Thou my soul today
From sin and blindness,
Surround me on my way
With loving kindness,
And fill my heart, O God,
With joy from heaven,
I then shall ask no more
Than what Thou has of yore
In wisdom given.
