Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Luke 2:21

1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, given for my sake, Thy blood, once shed for me, These are the gifts I humbly take, And here remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of Go...

1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good; That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay...

1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land. O blessed shelter from the storm, The sinner’s sure retreat: O trysting-place, where heavenly love And heavenly justice meet. 2 There lies beyond its shadow Upon the farther side The darkness of an awful pit That opens deep and wide; But, lo, between there stands the cross Of Him who died to s...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Matthew 18:1-6

I Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Luke 23.34 1 Jesus, in Thy dying woes, Even while Thy life-blood flows, Craving pardon for Thy foes: Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 Saviour, for our pardon sue, When our sins Thy pangs renew, For we know not what we do: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 O may we, who mercy need, Be like Thee in heart and deed, When with wrong our spirits bleed: Hear us, holy Je...

1 O perfect life of love! All, all, is finished now; All that He left His throne above To do for us below. 2 No work is left undone Of all the Father willed; His toil, His sorrows, one by one, The Scripture have fulfilled. 3 No pain that we can share But He has felt its smart; All forms of human grief and care Have pierced that tender heart. 4 And on His thorn-crowned head, And on His sinless soul...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on John 1:29

1 Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise: In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways. 2 O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. 3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against their foe, Should strive and should prevail; 4 And that a higher gift tha...

1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar, And gaze upon Thy holy cross, In love of Thee and scorn of self, O may we count the world as loss. 2 When we behold Thy bleeding wounds, And the rough way that Thou hast trod, Make us to hate the load of sin That lay so heavy on our God. 3 O holy Lord, uplifted high, With outstretched arms, in mortal woe, Embracing in Thy wondrous love The sinful world that lies b...

1 Jesus, who for my transgression Didst the shameful cross endure, And didst there the blest possession Of Thy joys for me secure: May my praise be ever telling Of Thy love, all love excelling. 2 Wondrous woes that brought salvation! Wondrous grace to sinners shown! Heaven is wrapt in contemplation Of His love, whom men disown. O my soul, wilt thou disown Him? Wilt not thou, my heart, enthrone Him...

1 One thing more than all my heart is craving As my food by night and day; Blest with this, all ills and trials braving, Through this wilderness I stray: Ever on the Man to gaze adoring, Who, with blood-sweat and with tears imploring, On His face submissive sank, And the Father’s chalice drank. 2 Ever shall mine eyes, His form retaining, View the Lamb once slain for me, As He yonder, pale and unco...

Gathered here, O gracious Lord and Saviour, We would pledge our love to Thee; Trusting in Thy death, we will endeavour True and faithful e’er to be. As united here we sing Thy praises, Lord, accept the hymn Thy Church now raises, And affirm Thy love so true, Saying, “Peace I give to you.”

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on James 5:7-11

1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the cross; The sinner’s hope let men deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see, In shining letters, “God is love”; He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens ever...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Hebrews 7:23-27

1 Enslaved by sin, and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doomed to everlasting pains, We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace, Nor could the world’s collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus, the Lord, the mighty God, An all-sufficient ransom paid; O matchless price! His precious blood For vi...

1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter’s power; Your Redeemer’s conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour: Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgement-hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mo...

1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee Low we bow the-adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes: O by all Thy pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy helpless infant years, By Thy life of want and tears, By Thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread mysterious hour Of the-insulting...

1 Come to Calvary’s holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all, In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Saviour died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrit...

1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree; ’Tis the Christ, by man rejected, Yes, my soul, ‘tis He, ‘tis He. ’Tis the long expected prophet, David’s Son, yet David’s Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: ’Tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress; Many...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Isaiah 11:1-10

1 Glory be to Jesus Who in bitter pains Poured for me the lifeblood From His sacred veins. 2 Grace and life eternal In that blood I find; Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind! 3 Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream Which from endless torments Did the world redeem! 4 Abel’s blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. 5 Oft as earth exultin...
