Let There Be Light, Lord God of Hosts
Author: William Merrill Vories Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:9 Lyrics: 1 Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts,
Let there be wisdom on the earth;
Let broad humanity have birth,
Let there be deeds, instead of boasts.
2 Within our passioned hearts instill
The calm that endeth strain and strife;
Make us Thy ministers of life;
Purge us from lusts that curse and kill.
3 Give us the peace of vision clear
To see our brothers' good our own,
To joy and suffer not alone—
The love that casteth out all fear.
4 Let woe and waste of warfare cease,
That useful labor yet may build
Its homes with love and laughter filled;
God, give Thy wayward children peace.
Amen. Topics: Brotherhood; Peace on Earth; Peace, Spiritual; Kingdom of God on Earth, The Brotherhood Used With Tune: PENTECOST

The Protective Power of God
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46 First Line: God will our strength and refuge prove Lyrics: 1 God will our strength and refuge prove,
In all distress a present aid,
And, though the trembling earth remove,
We will not fear nor be dismayed.
2 Our trust in god shall still abide
tho' hills be shaken from their seat,
And though the ocean's swelling tide
Against the trembling mountains beat.
3 A river flows, whose living streams
Make glad the city of our God,
The holy place where glory beams
Where God Most High has His abode.
4 God has in her His dwelling made,
And she shall nevermore be moved;
Her God shall early give her aide,
Her constant helper He has proved.
5 The kings and nations raged in pride;
He spake, the earth did melt away;
The Lord of Hosts is on her side,
Our fathers' God, our strength and stay.
6 Come, see the works of God displayed,
The wonders of His mighty hand,
What desolations He has made,
What ruin spread through all the land.
7 Through all the peopled earth He makes
The dreadful scourge of war to cease,
The implements of battle breaks,
And makes the nations dwell in peace.
8 Be still, ye nations, bow in fear,
And know that I alone am God;
To us the Lord of Hosts is near,
Our fathers' God is our abode.

The Protective Power of God
God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
Author: Martin Luther; Michael A. Perry Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 God is our fortress and our rock,
our mighty help in danger;
he shields us from the battle's shock
and thwarts the devil's anger;
for still the prince of night
prolongs evil's fight;
he uses all skill
to work his wicked will;
no earthly force is like him.
2 Our hope is fixed on Christ alone,
the Man of God's own choosing;
without him nothing can be won
and fighting must be losing;
so let the powers accursed
come try do their worst;
Christ Jesus shall ride
to battle at our side,
and he shall have the victory.
3 The word of God will not be slow
while demon hordes surround us,
though evil strike its cruelest blow
and death and hell confound us:
for though we meet distress,
lose all we possess;
those planning our ill
may ravage, wreck, or kill;
God's kingdom is immortal!

The Lord of Hosts
Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46 First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
A helper ever near us;
We will not fear tho' earth be moved,
For God is nigh to cheer us.
Although the mountains quake
And earth's foundations shake,
Tho' angry billows roar
And break against the shore,
Our mighty God will hear us.
2 God's city is forever blest
With living waters welling;
Since God is there she stands unmoved
'Mid tumults round her swelling;
God speaks and all is peace,
From war the nations cease;
The Lord of Hosts is nigh,
Our fathers' God Most High
Is our eternal dwelling.
3 Behold what God has done on earth;
His wrath brings desolation,
His grace, commanding wars to cease,
Brings peace to ev'ry nation;
Be still, for He is Lord,
By all the earth adored;
The Lord of Hosts is nigh,
Our fathers' God Most High
Is our strong habitation.

God Whose Love is Always Stronger
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:9 First Line: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear Lyrics: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear,
In your world, we pray and wonder How to be more faithful here.
Hate too often grows inside us; Fear rules what the nations do.
So we pray, when wars divide us: Give us love, Lord! Make us new!
Love is patient, kind and caring, Never arrogant or rude,
Never boastful, all things bearing; Love rejoices in the truth.
When we’re caught up in believing War will make the terror cease,
Show us Jesus’ way of living; May our strength be in your peace.
May our faith in you be nourished; May your churches hear your call.
May our lives be filled with courage As we speak your love for all.
Now emboldened by your Spirit Who has given us new birth,
Give us love, that we may share it Till your love renews the earth. Topics: Justice; Peacemaking Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,201 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:4 Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise his name--I’m fixed upon it--
name of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
hither by thy help I’ve come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart, O, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.
