Father, whose everlasting love

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32-33 Lyrics: 1 Father, whose everlasting love your only Son for sinners gave, whose grace to all did freely move, and sent him down the world to save: 2 help us your mercy to extol, immense, unfathomed, unconfined; to praise the Lamb who died for all, the Saviour of all humankind. 3 Your undistinguishing regard was cast on Adam's fallen race; for all you have in Christ prepared sufficient, sovereign, saving grace. 4 The world he suffered to redeem; for all he has the atonement made; for those that will not come to him the ransom of his life was paid. 5 Arise, O God, maintain your cause! The fullness of the nations call; lift up the standard of your cross, and all shall own you died for all.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: John 12:31-33 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon; he helps us free from ev'ry need that has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe now means deadly woe; deep guile and great might are his dread arms in fight; on earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, soon were our loss effected; but for us fights the valiant one whom God himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, the almighty Lord, and there's no other God; he holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us, we tremble not, we fear no ill: they shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still scowl fierce as he will, he can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done; one little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain nor any thanks have for it; he's by our side upon the plain with his good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, goods, fame, child, and wife, though all may be gone, our victory is won; the kingdom's ours forever!
