1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel’s veins, And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E’er since by...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on John 18:33-37

1 And can it be, that I should gain An interest in the Saviour’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain – For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? 2 ’Tis mystery all! The-Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let ange...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Matthew 25:31-46

1 Go, my soul, to Calvary, Stand before the cross in wonder; See how Jesus died for thee, Mark it well, and humbly ponder; Should thy sins not grieve thee now Cold and hard as stone art thou. 2 O that man of sorrows see, Hanging there twixt earth and heaven, Nailed to that accurs6d tree, Heart and soul by torments riven. Bleeding, tortured, crucified, See thy Lord: for thee He died. 3 Holy, spotle...

1 Lord Jesus, we give thanks to Thee That Thou didst die to set us free; Made righteous through Thy precious blood, We now are reconciled to God. 2 By virtue of Thy wounds, we pray, True God and man, be Thou our stay, Our comfort when we yield our breath, Our rescue from eternal death. 3 Defend us, Lord, from sin and shame; Help us by Thine almighty name To bear our crosses patiently, Consoled by...

Here at Thy cross I hail Thee now, O Lamb of God, to Thee my vow And reverent homage paying. Here all would seem but pain and loss, As Thou must die on Thy dread cross, Thy Father’s will obeying. Yet in Thy tortured form I see God’s glory and His majesty, And my redemption’s story; Thee I acclaim as King and Lord, As worthy here to be adored As on Thy throne of glory. 2 To Thee, O Lord, I yield my...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Matthew 25:14-30

1 O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Hath earth so sad a wonder? God the Father’s only Son Lieth buried yonder. 2 O sorrow dread; God’s Son is dead! But by His expiation Of our guilt upon the cross Gained for us salvation. 3 O sinful man It was the ban Of death on thee that brought Him Down to suffer for thy sins, And such woe hath wrought Him. 4 Behold thy Lord, The Lamb of God, Blood-sprinkled...

1 My song is love unknown, My Saviour’s love to me, Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be. O who am I, That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from His blest throne, Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But O, my friend, My friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way,...

Baptismal Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Colossians 2:10-14

1 Alas! And did my Saviour bleed, And did my sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature’s sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While H...

1 Christ, the life of all the living, Christ the death of death, my foe, Who, Thyself for me once giving Into darkest depths of woe, By Thy death my ransom buying, Hast delivered me from dying: Praise and thanks shall ever be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, O Christ, hast taken on Thee Scourges of the tongue and rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, O Thou sinless Son of God. Thus didst Th...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on John 8:31-41a

1 Jesus, I will ponder now On Thy holy passion; With Thy Spirit me endow For such meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Thy suffering, pain, and death That I may not perish. 2 Make me see Thy great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds, and stripes, and wretchedness, And Thy crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails, did wound Thee, How Thou die...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Matthew 6:25-27

Part I 1 O world, see thy Life languish Upon the tree in anguish; Thy Lord and Saviour dies. The prince of power with meekness Submits in mortal weakness To blows, and jeers, and railing cries. 2 My Saviour, who hath wrought Thee Such pain, and who hath brought Thee Such sad and dire disgrace? By sin Thou art not tainted, Nor is Thy soul acquainted With evil like our fallen race. 3 I caused Thy gr...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

Part I 1 A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth The guilt of all men bearing; ‘Tis laden with the sins of earth, None else the burden sharing. It goes its way, grows weak and faint, To slaughter led without complaint, Its spotless life to offer; Bears shame, and stripes, and wounds, and death, Anguish, and mockery, and saith: All this I gladly suffer. 2 This Lamb is Christ, the soul’s great friend, The L...

Part I 1 O Lord, when condemnation And guilt oppress my soul, Then let Thy bitter passion My doubts and fears control; Thou on the cross hast died for me, And in Thy love hast taken My sin and guilt on Thee. 2 O wonder passing measure To faith’s enlightened eye! For slaves it was the pleasure Of their own Lord to die. The mighty God stoops from on high For me, lost, ruined creature, And deigns as...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on 2 Timothy 3:10-17

PART I 1 O dearest Jesus, what law hast Thou broken, That such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken? Of what offences must Thou make confession, Of what transgression? 2 With thorns they crown Thee; yea, they smite, they scourge Thee, With cruel mockings to the cross they urge Thee; Gall do they give Thee, harshly they decry Thee, They crucify Thee. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mort...
