1 Lamb of God most holy, Who on the cross didst languish, Patient, meek, and lowly, Though mocked amid Thine anguish: All sin hast Thou borne for us, Else would despair reign o’er us. Have mercy on us, O Jesus. 2 Lamb of God most holy, Who on the cross didst languish, Patient, meek, and lowly, Though mocked amid Thine anguish: All sin hast Thou borne for us, Else would despair reign o’er us.

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Hebrews 11:1-2,8-19

1 Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar; Branch of royal David’s stem In Thy birth at Bethlehem: Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. 2 Manifest at Jordan’s stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding guest In Thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine: Anth...

1 Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story, Now proclaim Messiah’s birth: Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light: Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-bor...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Colossians 2:6-15

1 Hail, Thou source of every blessing, Sovereign Father of mankind! Gentiles now, Thy grace possessing, In Thy courts admission find. Grateful now we fall before Thee, In Thy Church obtain a place; Now by faith behold Thy glory, Praise Thy truth, adore Thy grace. 2 Once far off, but now invited, We approach Thy sacred throne; In Thy covenant united, Reconciled, redeemed, made one. Now revealed to...

1 Thou Light of Gentile nations, Thy people’s joy and love, Drawn hither by Thy Spirit, We would Thy presence prove. We seek Thee in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As faithful Simeon waited His Saviour God to find. 2 Thy servants still may meet Thee, O Lord, in every place Where Thy true Word hath promised That they should see Thy face. Today Thou still dost grant us, Who gather round The...

1 Gentiles, rise to greet the morning; Rise, O Salem, rise and shine! See the day of joy now dawning Over thee with light divine. God remembers in His kindness Those who long have walked in blindness. 2 Ere this Sun our earth had brightened, O how blindly did we stray. Yea, our minds were unenlightened, We sought not the heavenly way; Vain was all we were pursuing, All our thinking, all our doing....

1 Earth has many a noble city; Bethlem, thou dost all excel: Out of thee the Lord from heaven Came to rule His Israel. 2 Fairer than the sun at morning Was the star that told His birth, To the world its God announcing Seen in fleshly form on earth. 3 Eastern sages at His cradle Make oblations rich and rare; See them give in deep devotion Gold and frankincense and myrrh. 4 Sacred gifts of mystic me...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Luke 10:38-42

1 O Jesus, King of glory, Both David’s Lord and Son, Thy realm endures for ever, In heaven is fixed Thy throne. Throughout all earth’s dominions Make known from pole to pole Thy kingdom of salvation To each benighted soul. 2 Thou art a mighty monarch, As in Thy Word is told, Yet little Thou regardest All earthly goods or gold: On no proud steed Thou ridest, For Thee no jewelled crown, Thy home no...

1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to Thy lowly bed, There to bend the knee before Thee, whom heaven and earth adore; So may be with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At T...

1 O Christ, Thou Lord eternal, The Father’s only Son, Of whom the Word declareth That Thou with Him art one; Thou art the bright and morning star, Beyond all other radiance Thy glory streams afar. 2 For us Thou art incarnate, Born in these latter days, That we may never perish, Lost in our evil ways. Yea, death must own Thee as its Lord; And heaven by Thee is opened, And life once more restored. 3...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Matthew 5:27-30

1 In peace and joy I now depart As God may will it; And full of comfort is my heart; He doth still it: For the Lord assureth me, That death is but a slumber. 2 ’Tis Christ that wrought this work for me, My faithful Saviour, Whom Thou, O God, hast let me see By Thy favour. Now I know He is my life, My help in need and dying. 3 Thou hast revealed in grace to all Him, our salvation; And to His kingdo...

1 O wondrous type, O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 The law and prophets there have place, The chosen witnesses of grace, And from the cloud the Holy One Bears record to the only Son. 3 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest today What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God w...

1 Jesus, name of wondrous love, Name all other names above, Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus, name decreed of old: To the maiden-mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. 3 Jesus, name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave: Jesus shall His people save. 4 Jesus, name of mercy mild, Given to the holy child, When the...

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Isaiah 66:10-14

1 To the name of our salvation Laud and honour let us pay, Which for many a generation Hid in God’s foreknowledge lay, But with holy exultation We may sing aloud today. 2 Jesus is the name we treasure, Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness passing measure, Saving us from sin and hell. 3 ‘Tis the name for adoration, Nam...

1 O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels: O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! 2 God of God, Light of light, Lo, He abhors not the virgin’s womb; Very God, Begotten, not created: O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him,...

1 Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled. Joyful, all you nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim: Christ is born in Bethlehem: Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King. 2 Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him come, Offsp...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! 1 O rejoice, ye Christians, loudly, For our joy has now begun, Wondrous things our God has done. Tell abroad His goodness proudly, Who our race has honoured thus: Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness! Christ has done away with sadness. Hence, all sorrow and rep...

1 Arise, my soul, sing joyfully, And praise thy great Creator, Who now hath sent this child to thee, His Son, thy Mediator. This is the day thy Saviour came To take man’s nature and his name, And by His incarnation To win for man salvation. 2 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, And usher in the morning; Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright: The day of grace is dawning. This child, though we...

1 The people that in darkness sat A glorious light have seen; The light has shone on them who long In shades of death have been. 2 To hail Thee, Sun of righteousness, The gathering nations come; They joy as when the reapers bear Their harvest treasures home. 3 For Thou their burden doest remove, And break the tyrant’s rod, As in the day when Midian fell Before the sword of God. 4 To us a child of...
