535How wide the love of Christ!

It knows not class or raceBut holds our one humanity

Within its broad embrace.

How high the love of Christ! Beyond all thought it soars,

He bears within His wounded hands All human pain and loss.

Herman G. Stuempfle Jr., b. 1923

Praise Be to Christ stanza 3 LSB 538

Praise be to Him who, Lord Most High, The fullness of the Godhead shares;

That so might sins and sorrows ceaseAnd all be reconciled to God.

Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926.

Lamb of God stanza 2 LSB 550

Thy works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to this heart;

They tell me all is done,They bid my fear depart.

For sin atoneLord, shall I flee?

Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,Has borne the crushing loadOf sins that none could bear

But the incarnate God.Refrain

Horatius Bonar, 1808-89

.

The Lamb stanzas 2 and 4 LSB 547

The Lamb, the Lamb, One perfect final offering.

The Lamb, the Lamb,Let earth join heaven His praise to sing.

He sighs, He dies,He takes my sin and wretchedness.

He lives, forgives,He gives me His own righteousness

O Jesus Christ, Thy Manger Is stanzas 1 and 2 LSB 372

O Jesus Christ, Thy manger is

My paradise at which my soul reclineth.For there, O Lord, Doth lie the Word

Made flesh for us; herein Thy grace forth shineth.

He whom the seaAnd wind obey

Doth come to serve the sinner in great meekness.For Thou, God’s Son,

With us, art one,Dost join us and our children in our weakness.

Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76, tr. The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941

Christ Jesus Lay In Death’s Strong Bands stanzas 2 and 3 LSB

458No son of man could conquer death,

Such ruin sin had wrought us.No innocence was found on earth,

And therefore death had brought usInto bondage from of old

And ever grew more strong and boldAnd held us as its captive.

Alleluia!

Christ Jesus, God’s own Son came down,His people to deliver;

Destroying sin, He took the crownFrom death’s pale brow forever;

Stripped of power, no more it reigns;An empty form alone remains;

Its sting is lost forever.Alleluia!

Martin Luther, 1483-1546; tr. Richard Massie, 1800-87

The Advent of Our King stanzas 1, 2, and 6 LSB 331

The advent of our King Our prayers must now employ,

And we must hymns of welcome singIn strains of holy joy

All glory to the Son,Who comes to set us free,

With Father, Spirit, ever oneThrough all eternity.

Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; tr. John Chandler, 1806-76

Believe, obey, rejoice,And worship Him alone.

From all its rending tombsSend forth a glorious band,

A countless throng,With joy to sing to heav’n’s high King

Salvation’s song!

Frances Scott Key, 1779-1843

The Law reveals the guilt of sinAnd makes us conscience stricken;

But then the Gospel enters inThe sinful soul to quicken.

Come to the cross, trust Christ, and live; The Law no peace can ever give,

No comfort and no blessing.

Baptismal Waters Cover Me stanzas 1, 2, 4 LSB 616

Baptismal waters cover meAs I approach on bended knee;

My Father’s mercy here I plead,For grievous sins of thought and deed.

I look to Christ upon the tree,

His body broken there for me; I lay before Him all my sin,

My darkest secrets from within.

From Your own mouth comes forth a word;Your shepherd speaks, but You are heard;

Through him Your hand now stretches out,Forgiving sin, destroying doubt.

Kurt E. Reinhardt, b. 1969

No Saint on Earth Lives Life to Self Alone stanzas 1 and 2 LSB 747

No saint on earth lives life to self aloneOr dies alone, for we with Christ are one.

So if we live, for Christ alone we live,And if we die, to Christ our dying give.

In living and in dying this confess: We are the Lord’s, safe in God’s faithfulness.

For to this end our Lord by death was slain,

That to new life He might arise again.Through sorrow on to triumph Christ has led,

And reigns o’er all, the living and the dead.In living and in dying, Him we bless;

We are the Lord’s, safe in God’s faithfulness.

Norman J. Kansfield, b. 1940

The Tree of Life stanzas 3 and 4 LSB 561

What mercy God showed to our race,A plan of rescue by His grace:

In sending One from woman’s seed,The One to fill our greatest need—

For on a tree uplifted high His only Son for sin would die,

Would drink the cup of scorn and dread To crush the ancient serpent’s head!

Now from that tree of Jesus’ shame Flows life eternal in His name;

For all who trust and will believe,Salvation’s living fruit receive.

And of this fruit, so pure and sweetThe Lord invites the world to eat,To find within this cross of woodThe tree of life with ev’ry good.

Stephen P. Starke, b. 1955

Theology of the Cross

The highest glory of God is hidden in the weakness of the cross of Christ and His suffering and death.

The cross of Christ is also the Christian’s glory, a cross mirrored in the life of the believer through the suffering the Christian experiences for the sake of the Gospel.

A theology of the cross is the exact opposite of a theology of glory.

When I Behold Jesus Christ stanzas 1 and 2 LSB 542

When I behold Jesus Christ True God who died for me,I wonder much at His love

As He hung on the tree. Refrain: What kind of love is this? What kind of love is this?

You showed Your love, Jesus, there to me on Calvary.What kind of love is this? What kind of love is this?

You showed Your love, Jesus, there to me on Calvary.

For me You gave all Your love,For me You suffered pain;

I find no words, nothing canYour selflessness explain.

In Silent Pain the Eternal Son stanza 1 LSB 432

In silent pain the eternal Son Hangs derelict and still;

In darkened day His work is done,Fulfilled His Father’s will.

Uplifted for the world to see He hangs in strangest victory,

For in His body on the treeHe carries all our ill.

Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938

When Peace, Like a River stanzas 2 and 3 LSB 763

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ hath regarded my helpless estateAnd has shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

He lives—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;My sin, not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain

Horatio G. Spafford, b. 1828-88

All For Christ I Have Forsaken stanzas 1, 3, 5 LSB 753

All for Christ I have forsakenAnd have taken up my cross;

Worldly joy, its fame and fortune,Now I count as worthless dross.

Gone the past, unknown the future—

Grace supplies my daily breath; Strong in Christ through death’s dark valley,

Firm and faithful unto death.

Though the road ahead be thorny,Though dark clouds all light obscure,

Though my cross-shaped path grows steeper,With the Lord, I am secure.

Calvin Chao, 1906-96; tr. Stephen P. Starke, b. 1955

Linguistic Criteria

Doctrinal precision

Poetical integrity/language issues

Corporate nature of a hymn text

Doctrinal Precision

Doctrine is teaching. Hymns teach the faith as truths are sung.The hymnal is a doctrinal textbook for the laity.Doctrine in hymns must be presented clearly. Clarity of Lutheran confession is necessary.

Lord, Help Us Ever to Retain stanza 1 LSB

865 Lord, help us ever to retain

The catechism’s doctrine plainAs Luther taught the Word of truth

In simple style to tender youth.Ludwig Hembold, 1532-98; tr. Matthias Loy, 1828-1915

Poetical Integrity/Language Issues

Poetical integrity: rhyme scheme and meter Use of language: “downdating,” imagery,

freshness of expression, archaic v.s. obsoleteRetranslation of stanzas to improve both doctrinal

and linguistic clarity and poetical integrityRestoration of “lost” stanzas, addition of new

stanzas or newly translated stanzas

Preach You the Word stanza 5 LSB

One-fourth waves ripe on hill and flat,And bears a harvest hundredfold:

“Ah, what of that, Lord, what of that!”Martin H. Franzmann, 1907-76

Corporate Nature of a Text

Hymns connect us to other worshipers. Hymns are not merely private meditations.Hymns objectively confess objective Scriptural truth

as well as subjective perspectives of faith and piety held in common by Christians.

O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe stanza 3 LSB

666 As true as God’s own Word is true

Not earth nor hell’s satanic crew Against us shall prevail.Their might? A joke, a mere facade!

God is with us and we with God—Our vict’ry cannot fail.Jacob Fabricius, 1593-1654; tr. Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78, alt.

What Is This Breadstanzas 1 and 4 LSB 629

What is this bread?Christ’s body risen from the dead:

This bread we break,This life we take,

Yet is God here?

Oh yes! By Word and promise clear,In mouth and soul

He makes us whole—Christ truly present in this meal.

O taste and see—the Lord is real.

Zion hears the watchmen singing,And all her heart with joy is springing;

She wakes, she rises from her gloom.For her Lord comes down all-glorious,

Now come, Thou blessed One,Lord Jesus, God’s own Son,

Hail! Hosanna!We enter all

The wedding hallTo eat the Supper at Thy call.

Christ Sits At God’s Right Hand stanzas 2 and 3 LSB 564

Christ was that priest God swore, Uniquely First and Last

Who would in righteous and love Be unsurpassed:

“A priest forevermore,”An oath God would not break,

“A priest within the order ofMelchizedek.”

Christ’s altar was the tree

Where on the world’s behalfHe shed a blood unlike the blood

Of goat or calf, To seal God’s guaranteeOf grace that cannot fail;

With blood He entered for our goodBehind the veil.


These Are the Holy Ten Commands stanzas 1 and 9 LSB 581

These are the holy Ten CommandsGod gave to us through Moses’ handsWhen high on Sinai’s mount he stood,

Receiving them for our good.Have mercy, Lord!

“Bear no false witness nor defameYour neighbor, nor destroy his name,

But view him in the kindest way;Speak truth in all that you say.”

Have mercy, Lord!

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!Let earth receive her king;

Let ev’ry heart prepare Him roomAnd heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n and nature sing,

And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!Let men their songs employ,

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plainsRepeat the sounding joy,Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

See, the Lord Ascends in Triumph stanzas 1 and 4 LSB 494

See, the Lord ascends in triumph;Conquering King is royal state,

Riding on the clouds, His chariot,To His heav’nly palace gate.

Hark! The choirs of angel voicesJoyful alleluias sing,

And the portals high are liftedTo receive their heav’nly King.

Now our heav’nly Aaron entersWith His blood within the veil;

Joshua now is come to Canaan,And the kings before Him quail.

Now He plants the tribes of IsraelIn their promised resting place;

Now our great Elijah offersDouble portion of His grace.

A word about hymn settings

Return to four-part settings similar to those found in TLH

Chant tunes have settings which suit that style of a tune

Certain tunes have both piano and organ settings

Some more challenging tunes also have simplified settings

20% of hymns in LSB have only melody line and text:1. hymn tunes that are meant to be sung in unison2. hymn tunes that are more difficult3. lengthy hymn tunes taking two or more pages4. space considerations during the layout of LSB enabled more hymns to be included (some shorter hymns were fit into the leftover space and were thus included with melody line only)

The Church’s One Foundation stanza 1 LSB 644

The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord She is His new creation By water and the Word.

From heav’n He came and sought herTo be His holy bride;

With His own blood He bought her,And for her life He died.

Un solo fundamento y sólo un fundador la santa iglesia tiene en Cristo, su Señor,haciéndola su esposa, del cielo descendió,

y por su propia sangre su libertad compró.

Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900Spanish tr. Lefferd M. A. Haughwout, 1873-1952

We Praise You and Acknowledge You, O God stanzas 3 and 4 LSB 941

You, Christ, are King of glory, the everlasting Son,

Yet You, with boundless love, sought to rescue ev’ryone: You laid aside Your glory, were born of virgin’s womb,

Were crucified for us and were placed into a tomb; Then by Your resurrection You won for us reprieve

You opened heaven’s kingdom to all who would believe.

You sit in splendid glory, enthroned at God’s right hand, Upholding earth and heaven by forces You command.

We know that You will come as our Judge that final day,So help Your servants You have redeemed by blood, we pray;

May we with saints be numbered where praises never end, In glory everlasting. Amen, O Lord, amen!
