'Tis not by works of righteousness
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #256 (1908) Topics: Sunday after New Year's Lyrics: 1 'Tis not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done,
But we are saved by sov'reign grace
Abounding thro' His Son.
2 'Tis from the mercy of our God
That all our hopes begin;
'Tis by the water and the blood
Our souls are washed from sin.
3 'Tis through the purchase of His death
Who hung upon the tree,
The Spirit is sent down to breathe
On such dry bones as we.
4 Raised from the dead we live anew.
And, justified by grace,
We shall appear in glory too,
And see our Father's face. Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

On Jordan's Banks the Herald's Cry
Author: John Chandler Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #13 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the herald's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh:
Come then and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings from the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin,
Make straight the way for God within,
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
3 For Thou art our Salvation, Lord,
Our Refuge and our great Reward.
Without Thy grace we waste away,
Like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth Thy hand, to health restore,
And make us rise, to fall no more;
Once more upon Thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee
Whose advent sets Thy people free,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Ghost, forevermore.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 Languages: English Tune Title: MENDON
On Jordan's Banks the Herald's Cry
O Let the Children Come to Me
Author: Johan Olof Wallin, (1773-1839); Gershom Mott Williams Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #232 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Sunday after New Year First Line: "O let the children come to Me" Lyrics: 1 "O let the children come to Me,"
Dear Saviour, Thou commandest:
And for these innocents we see
How Thou in welcome standest.
Still goes Thy Spirit freely forth,
To gladden souls that need Thee,
And Thou bestowest heavenly birth;
If they like children heed Thee:
To them belongs the kingdom.
2 By water and the Spirit Thou
Our sinful nature cleansest;
Thy Word doth show the path to go,
And daily grace Thou sendest.
O may Thy sanctifying love
Surround us all with blessing;
And may we all Thy favor prove
In daily Thee confessing,
And close to Thee abiding.
3 O soul of man, remember well
The holy Name Thou bearest:
Of everything that tongue can tell
That Name is still the dearest.
O child of God, His voice attend,
Live worthy of His choosing;
For He is thy eternal Friend:
Beware lest thou be losing
His grace so freely given.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 19:14 Languages: English Tune Title: O FADER VÅR, BARMHERTIG, GOD
O Let the Children Come to Me
O Lord, Our Strength in Weakness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, (1807-1885), a. Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #258 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness,
We pray to Thee for grace;
For pow'r to fight the battle,
For speed to run the race;
When Thy baptismal waters
Were poured upon our brow,
We then were made Thy children,
And pledged our earliest vow.
2 We then were sealed and hallowed
By Thy life-giving Word,
Were made the Spirit's temples,
And members of the Lord;
With His own blood He bought us,
And made the purchase sure;
His are we: may He keep us
Forever chaste and pure.
3 Conformed to His own likeness
May we so live and die,
That in the grave our bodies
In holy peace may lie,
And at the resurrection
Forth from those graves may spring
Like to the glorious body
Of Christ, our Lord and King.
4 The pure in heart are blessèd,
For they shall see the Lord
Forever and forever
By Seraphim adored;
And they shall drink the pleasures,
Such as no tongue can tell,
From heaven' crystal river,
And life's eternal well.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Languages: English Tune Title: NEED
O Lord, Our Strength in Weakness
Jo større Kors, des mer til Himlen
Author: Benj. Schmolck; Ukjendt Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #691 (1919) Topics: Sunday after New Years Lyrics: 1 Jo større Kors, des mer til Himlen
Sig nærmer den, som elsker Gud;
Ak, altfor let i Verdensvrimlen
Af Hjertet Gudsfrygt slettes ud.
Lyksalig priser Jesus hver,
Hvem Gud bestikker Trængsel her.
2 Jo større Kors, des mere Grøde,
Den haarde Bund blir derved blød;
Saa mangen Ager ligger øde,
Hvor lingen Taareregn nedflød;
Som Guldet udi Ildens Glød,
Saa luttres vi ved Sorg og Nød.
3 Jo større Kors, des mere bliver
Vor Tro alene sat til Gud;
Som Byrden Palmetræet driver
Til herlig Vekst med Stamme prud;
Af Druen perses liflig Saft,
Ved Korset vokser Sjælens Kraft.
4 Jo større Kors, des bedre brænder
I Hjertet Kjærlighedens Ild;
Igjennem Skyen Solen sender
Sin Straale blank, sin Varme mild;
Ved Olje Ilden Næring faar,
Ved Veiret den mod Himlen slaar.
5 Jo større Kors, des flere Bønner
Opstige til vor Fader god;
Med Naade Gud sit Barn belønner,
Som knæler ned ved Korsets Fod;
I Sjælenød Kong Davids Sang
Udstrømmede til Harpens Klang.
6 Jo større Kors, des mere Længsel;
Paa vilden Sø man ser mod Land;
I Ørk'nens Ensomhed og Trængsel
Man higer efter Kanaan;
Naar Duen her ei finder Ro,
Da vil den helft i Arken bo.
7 Jo større Kors, des mere blinker
Hist Kronen, som os smykke skal,
Naar Herren paa sin Throne vinker
Os hen blandt de Udvalgtes Tal;
Klenodiet, som der vi faa,
Gjør Lidelserne her saa smaa.
8 Korsfæstede! lad Korset blive
Alt mer og mere kjært for mig!
Din gode Aand mit Hjerte give
Den Tro, som hviler glad i dig,
Indtil Forløsningstimen slaar,
Og Kronen over Korset staar!

When Jesus unto Jordan came
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #XXIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: First Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 When Jesus unto Jordan came,
And was baptiz'd by John:
There it was prov'd he was the same
Who should for sin attone.
2 He was baptiz'd, but not as they
Who are of sinful race:
He had no sin to wash away,
To make him heir of grace.
3 Repentance sure he needed not,
His life was pure indeed:
And he had neither stain or spot
Of which he need be freed.
4 Why then did he there to attend,
And why was he baptiz'd?
It was to answer that great end,
For which it was devis'd;
5 This was the ordinance alone
Which was for to ordain:
That great High Priest who should attone
For all the guilt of men.
Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Languages: English
When Jesus unto Jordan came
When times of troubles are at hand
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #XXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: First Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 When times of troubles are at hand
The best that we can do,
Is to obey the Lord's command
And prove his promise true.
2 As gold is in the furnace tried
And cleans'd from filth and dross;
Thus we are purg'd and purified
by bearing Jesus' Cross.
3 We can't expect the crown to wear,
Which Christ in heav'n will give,
If we refuse the Cross to bear,
Whilst here on earth we live.
4 We must submit our cause to God,
And yield to do his will;
He lets us feel his chast'ning rod,
But grants his blessing still.
5 To be reproach'd for Jesus sake,
Proves him to be our Lord;
His Cross and suff'rings to partake,
Will have a great reward.
6 Then let us look beyond the grave
Where all our suff'rings cease;
Great, are the treasures we shall have
In everlasting peace. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19 Languages: English
When times of troubles are at hand
Great is the Lord our God
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #201 (1908) Topics: Sunday after New Year's Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let His praise be great;
He makes the Church His abode,
His most delightful seat.
2 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress:
How bright has His salvation shone
Through all her palaces!
3 When kings against her joined,
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild confusion of the mind,
They fled with hasty fear.
4 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold
Where His own sheep have been.
5 In ev'ry new distress
We’ll to His house repair;
We’ll think upon His wondrous grace,
And seek deliv'rance there. Languages: English Tune Title: SILVER STREET
Great is the Lord our God
And art Thou with us, gracious Lord
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #92 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 And art Thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost Thou proclaim Thyself our God,
Our God for ever near?
2 Doth Thy right hand, which formed the earth,
And bears up all the skies,
Stretch from on high its friendly aid,
When dangers round us rise?
3 And wilt Thou lead our weary souls
To that delightful scene,
Where rivers of salvation flow
Through pastures ever green?
4 On thy support our souls shall lean,
And banish every care;
The gloomy vale of death shall smile,
If God be with us there.
5 While we His precious succor prove,
'Midst all our various ways,
The darkest shades through which we pass
Shall echo with His praise. Languages: English Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALL' U. BRINGET EHR
And art Thou with us, gracious Lord
Befal du dine Veie
Hymnal: Psalmebog, udgiven af Synoden for den norske evangelisk-lutherske Kirke i Amerika (2nd ed.) #113 (1890) Topics: Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 Befal du dine Veie
Og al din Hjertesorg
Til hans trofaste Pleie,
Som bor i Himlens Borg!
Han, som kan Stormen binde
Og lede Bølgen glaa,
Han kan og Veien finde,
Hvorpaa din Fod kan gaa.
2 Paa Herren maa du agte,
Hvis det dig vel skal gaa.
Hans Gjerning du betragte,
Hvis din skal vel bestaa.
Ved Sorg og selvvalgt Plage
Du Intet retter ud;
Thi Intet kan du tage,
Alt kan du faa af Gud.
3 Din Trofasthed og Naade,
O Fader, ved og ser,
Hvad skade kan og baade
Det skrøbelige Ler.
Og hvad du har for Øie,
Det sker, o st"rke Gud!
Og Alting sig maa føie
Dit Raad at føre ud.
4 Vei har du alle steder,
Dig Midler sattes ei,
Kin Naade du udspreder,
Kun Lys er al din Vei;
Din Gjerning kan ei hvile,
Ei standses kan dit Fjed,
Naar du til os vil ile
Med Hjælp og Bistand ned.
5 Om alle Helvedmagter
Her trodse og modstaa,
det du for Intet agter,
Vil ei tilbage gaa.
Hvo kan mod dig vel stande,
Som slynger Lynets Pil?
Hvo vover at forbande,
Naar du velsigne vil?
6 Saa haab da, haab mit Hjerte!
Vær trøstig, uforsagt!
Gud snart kan al din Smerte
Borttage ved sin magt.
Vent kun til Tiden kommer,
Da han vil Hjælp bete,
Da skal hans blide Sommer
Du snart med Glæde se!
7 Op, op mit arme Hjerte,
Sig Sorgen nu god Nat,
Lad fare kun den Smerte,
Dig tynger og gjør mat!
Du er dog ei den Herre,
Som Alting raade skal,
gud monne Sceptret b"re,
Han styrer Alting vel.
8 Ham, Ham du lade raade,
Han er en Konge vis!
Du love vil hans Naade
Og sjunge høit hans Pris,
Naar han ved sit det store
Og underfulde Naad
Aftørre vil din Taare
Og standse al din Graad.
9 Maaske han noget bier,
Før klart han viser sig,
Og til dit Raad han tier,
Som hørte han ei dig,
Ja i din bitre Pine
Maaske dig synes kan,
At han forglemmer Sine,
Som bo i Smertens Land.
10 Men, hvis han nu mon finde,
At du ham bliver tro,
Skal snart din Angest svinde
Og skiftes om til Ro;
Naar midst du selv det tænker,
Han løser Hjertets Baand
Og bryder selv de Lænker,
Som trykke tungt din Aand.
11 O Herre, gjør en Ende
Paa al vor sorg og Nød,
Din Styrke du os sende,
Og tag indtil vor DOd
I din trofaste Pleie
Vort legem, Sjæl og Sind,
Da føre vore Veie
Os vist i Himlen ind!
