6 By the spirit which could render FIVE wells I know 171 From which do flow Peace, joy, life, hope, salvation: And make it whole 2 Thy wounds, O Lord, Such help afford, They are the fount of blessing, And comfort me Most graciously When troubles come depressing. 3 O let to me Thy sufferings be A constant admonition, To quench all sin That lurks within By means of deep contrition. 4 O Lamb divine, O Savior mine, The soul's true Joy-spring ever, From sin made free, Bind me to Thee With ties no power can sever! Anon. 5 Thus will I end Life's course, and wend My way to heaven's portal; I will adore My Lord in hymns immortal. Nuernberger Gesangbuch. H. Brueckner, Tr. 172 SEE, world, thy Life assailéd, On the accursed tree nailéd; To shame, and blows, and cruel wrath! 2 Come hither now and ponder, Blood streams from every pore: 3 The load Thou takest on Thee, 4 Not much can I be giving Thy death and sorrows ever, My heart remember shall for aye. 5 Thy groaning and Thy sighing, P. Gerhardt. J. Kelly, Tr. 173 JESUS, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon 4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, 6 Till then, nor is my boasting vain, J. Grigg. 174 HOSANNA we sing, like the children dear, In the olden days when the Lord lived here, He bless'd little children and smiled on them, While they chanted His praise in Jerusalem. Hallelujah we sing like the children bright, With their harps of gold and their raiment white, As they follow their Shepherd with loving eyes Through the beautiful valleys of Paradise. 2 Hosanna we sing, for He bends His ear, And rejoices the hymns of His own to hear; We know that His heart will never wax cold To the lambs that He feeds in His earthly fold. Hallelujah we sing in the church we love, given, That we lose not our part in the song of G. S. Hodges. heaven. 175 AL LL GLORY, praise and honor To Thee, Redeemer, King! To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring. |
