Hymn 47 - Savior, Again, to Thy Dear Name We Raise
This weekend we are going to study a hymn from the "Close of Service" section of our hymnal, but which has a connection to Easter. The hymn is "Savior, again, to Thy dear name we raise" (TLH 47), written by John Ellerton.
The hymn emphasizes the PEACE that Jesus assures us of because of His life, death and resurrection for us. The opening verse points to the conclusion of worship shared by fellow believers and the LORD's promise to us in the Benediction at the close of every service: "The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
The Psalmist proclaimed: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. 23 This was the LORD’S doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. 27 God is the LORD, And He has given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You. 29 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." (Psalm 118:22-29)
The hymn is a prayer that the peace that we have been assured of by the LORD and through our pastor in worship, would go with us as we go into the world. We pray that Jesus would go with us, guard our lips and hearts from evil, both at night and during the day, and throughout our lives, until He calls us to PEACE in heaven. There is a final verse of the hymn that is not included in our hymnal that makes a beautiful connection to Easter, and the promise of peace from the Resurrected Savior. Ellerton wrote:
Grant us Thy peace – the peace Thou dids’t bestow
On Thine apostles in Thine hour of woe;
The peace Thou broughtest when at eventide
They saw Thy pierced hands, Thy wounded side.
Yes, "Peace be to you!" Jesus says. To them, and to you!
May the peace of your Savior continue to encourage you in worship, and as you leave worship this and every weekend! Thanks be to God for the peace He gives!
