A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881); Martin Luther (1483-1546) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:47 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep us clear from all the ill that hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper Man, whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye who is this same? Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. 3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; they cannot overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? his doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And, though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.

The old priest reassured him, so Samuel, without fear, said, ""God, your servant listens, and waits, your word to hear."" 2 A young lad went to battle a giant ten feet tall, while others watched and trembled, and thought to see him fall. Said David, ""God protects me; I come in God's own name."" God helped him save the people, by faith make good his claim. 3 The soldier was a leper who thought his doom was sure, but then a young girl told him, "God's prophet has a cure." She sent him to Elisha who showed him what to do. and he, made whole and healthy, saw he could trust God too. 4 The multitude was hungry. “We have no food,” they said. A little boy came forward to share his fish and bread. “It is enough,” said Jesus, “this gift of love will last.” He blessed the loaves and fishes, and no one had to fast. 5 A child becomes a prophet, a shepherd boy a king, a maid, a means of healing. a boy, of offering.
