On this episode Rev. Jake Zabel talks about the importance of Holy Communion

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,

And His sweet praises sing;

Resounding all the day

Hosannas to their King.

Then “Crucify!”

Is all their breath,

And for His death

They thirst and cry.

4

They rise, and needs will have

My dear Lord made away;

A murderer they save,

The prince of life they slay.

Yet cheerful He

To suffering goes,

That He His foes

From thence might free.

5

Here might I stay and sing,

No story so divine;

Never was love, dear King

Never was grief like Thine!

This is my Friend,

In whose sweet praise

I all my days

Could gladly spend.

A lecture on Hinduism by Rev. Jake Zabel

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 His dear cross appears,

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,

And melt mine eyes to tears.

5

But drops of grief can ne’er repay

The debt of love I owe:

Here, Lord, I give myself away;

’Tis all that I can do.

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 Thou my soul deliver

From the bonds of sin for ever:

Praise and thanks shall ever be,

Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

3

Heartless scoffers did surround Thee,

Treating Thee with cruel scorn;

With the piercing thorns they crowned Thee;

All disgrace, Lord, hast Thou borne,

That as Thine Thou mightest own me,

And with heavenly glory crown me:

Praise and thanks shall ever be,

Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

4

Thou didst let Thyself be beaten

To deliver me from pain;

Falsely charged, and sorely smitten,

That Thy loss might be my gain;

Thou didst suffer crucifixion

For my comfort in affliction:

Praise and thanks shall ever be,

Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

5

Jesus, from my heart I thank Thee,

For the vast, stupendous load,

Which Thou borest to release me

From the dreadful wrath of God;

For Thy cruel death and passion,

Agony and sore temptation,

For Thy anguish and Thy pain,

Thanks for ever, Lord. Amen.
