O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: Voices United #709 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Epiphany 5 Year B Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, now from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair cry,
"Christ hath died in vain!"
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways is brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there! Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG

maker of all things, sustainer of life;

sun, moon and stars by your word are upheld;
time and eternity bow within your presence,
Lord of the nations: we praise and adore.
3 Wisdom unsearchable, fathomless knowledge
past understanding by our clever brain;
ground of reality, basis of all order,
guide to the nations: we praise and adore.
4 Justice and righteousness, holy, unswerving —
all that is tainted shall burn in your flame;
sword-bearing deity, punisher of evil,
judge of the nations: we praise and adore.
5 Ruler and potentate, sage and lawgiver,
humbled before you, unworthy we bow;
in our extremity, show us your forgiveness,
merciful Father: we praise and adore. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSSIAN ANTHEM

Built on the Rock
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; C. Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #211 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 5 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land,
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling.
Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men--
Built in our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Builded for His habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns
Heirs of His wondrous salvation;
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell,
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Now we may gather with our King
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to Him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forthtelling;
Jesus His grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all His words,
His truth doth hallow the temple.
5 Still we our earthly temples rear
That we may herald His praises;
They are the homes where He draws near
And little children embraces;
Beautiful things in them are said,
God there with us His cov'nant made,
Making us heirs of His kingdom.
6 Here stands the font before our eyes,
Telling how God did receive us;
Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
And what His table doth give us;
Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
Yea, and for aye our Redeemer.
7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam,
That, when the church-bells are ringing,
Many in Jesus' faith may come
Where He His message is bringing:
"I know mine own, mine own know me,
Ye, not the world, my face shall see;
My peace I leave with you, Amen."

O Lord, Our Father
Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #213 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: Epiphany 5 First Line: O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded
Who, though by trials and by woes surrounded,
On Thee alone for help are still relying,
To Thee are crying?
2 Lord, put to shame Thy foes who breathe defiance
And vainly make their might their sole reliance;
In mercy turn to us, the poor and stricken,
Our hope to quicken.
3 Be Thou our Helper and our strong Defender;
Speak to our foes and cause them to surrender.
Yea, long before their plans have been completed,
They are defeated.
4 'Tis vain to trust in man; for Thou, Lord, only
Art the Defense and Comfort of the lonely.
With Thee to lead, the battle shall be glorious
And we victorious.
5 Thou art our Hero, all our foes subduing;
Save Thou Thy little flock they are pursuing.
We seek Thy help; for Jesus' sake be near us.
Great Helper, hear us!

Of Zion's Honor Angels Sing
Author: E. Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #216 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 5 Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing!
In Zion Christ alone is King;
In grace He rules with gentle sway,
And leads her heavenward, day by day.
2 For Zion knows no other Lord,
But cleaves to His unerring Word:
To her suffices: Jesus saith!
This is her source and rule of faith.
3 To her He gave the Pow'r of Keys,
To bind and loose as He decrees;
Through her declares sins forgiv'n
That we may be fit heirs of heav'n.
4 Apostles, prophets, He hath sent
To her with Word and Sacrament,
And still sends servants of the Word
To serve the Church and Christ, her Lord.
5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Adored by all the heav'nly host,
We bow in Zion at Thy throne—
No other God and Lord we own. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO

From Eternity, O God
Author: C. Neumann, 1648-1715 ; A. Crull, 1846-1923 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #220 (1996) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 5 Lyrics: 1 From eternity, O God,
In Thy Son Thou didst elect me.
Therefore, Father, on life's road
Graciously to heav'n direct me;
Send to me Thy Holy Spirit
That His gifts I may inherit.
2 Though alive, I'm dead in sin,
Lost to all good things by nature.
Holy Ghost, change me within,
Make of me a new-born creature;
For the flesh works ruination
And can never gain salvation.
3 Drive away the gloomy night
Of my heart's perverse reflection.
Quench all thoughts that are not right;
Hold my reason in subjection.
Grant that I from Thee, with yearning,
Wisdom always may be learning.
4 All desire and thoughts of mine
From my youth are only evil.
Save me by Thy pow'r divine
From myself and from the devil;
Give me strength in ample measure
Both to will and do Thy pleasure.
5 Oh, create a heart in me
That in Thee, my God believeth
And o'er the iniquity
Of my sins most truly grieveth.
When dark hours of woe betide me,
In the wounds of Jesus hide me.
6 As a branch upon a vine,
In my blessed Lord implant me;
Ever of my Head divine
To remain a member grant me.
O let Him, my Lord and Savior,
Be my Life and Love forever!
7 Faith and hope and charity
Graciously, O Father, give me;
Be my Guardian constantly
That the devil may not grieve me.
Grant me humbleness and gladness,
Peace and patience in my sadness.
8 Help me speak what's right and good
And keep silence on occasion.
Help me pray, Lord, as I should,
Help me bear my tribulation.
Help me die and let my spirit
Everlasting life inherit.

Hear Zion's cries and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of mighty foes
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.
2 Their craft and pow'r indeed are great,
Thy holy Church they boldly hate,
Our hope they scornfully deride
And deem us nothing in their pride.
3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive;
Grant us Thy grace and let us live.
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.
4 That Thou art with us, Lord, proclaim
And put our enemies to shame;
Confound them in their haughtiness
And help Thine own in their distress.
5 Preserve Thy chosen flock in peace,
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
To all the world let it appear
That Thy true Church indeed is here.

bearing the lamp of grace
and, in earth's darkest place
let there be light!

glorious Trinity,

boundless as ocean's tide
rolling in fullest pride
through the world far and wide,
let there be light! Scripture: Genesis 1:3 Languages: English Tune Title: MOSCOW
