God is our stronghold firm and sure

Author: Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: God is our stronghold firm and sure, Our trusty shield and weapon, He shall deliver us, whate'er Of ill to us may happen. Our ancient Enemy In earnest now is he, Much craft and great might Arm him for the fight, On earth is not his fellow. Our might is nought but weakness, soon Should we the battle lose, But for us fights the rightful Man, Whom God Himself doth choose. Asketh thou His name? 'Tis Jesus Christ, the same Whom Lord of Hosts we call, God only over all; None from the field can drive Him. What though the world were full of fiends, That would us sheer devour! We know we yet shall win the day, We fear not all their power. The Prince of this world still, May struggle as he will, He nothing can prevail, A word shall make him quale, For he is judged of heaven. The word of God they cannot touch, Yet have no thanks therefore, God by His Spirit and His gifts, Is with us in the war. Then let them take our life, Goods, honour, children, wife, Though nought of these we save, Small profit shall they have, The kingdom ours abideth.

God Is a Stronghold and a Tower

Author: Martin Luther; Elizabeth Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God is a Stronghold and a Tower, A Help that never faileth, A covering Shield, a Sword of power, When Satan’s host assaileth. In vain our crafty foe Still strives to work us woe, Still lurks and lies in wait With more than earthly hate; We will not faint, nor tremble. 2. Frail sinners are we: naught remains For hope or consolation, Save in His strength whom God ordains Our Captain of salvation. Yes, Jesus Christ alone The Lord of hosts we own, God ere the world began, The Word-made-flesh for man, Still conquering, and to conquer. 3. Though fiercely strive the hosts of ill Within us, and around us, With fiendish strength, and fiendish skill, Yet ne’er may they confound us. Man’s night of dark despair, When storm clouds fill the air, In God’s triumphal hour, The noonday of His power, One word, and He prevaileth. 4. Our Father’s truth abideth sure; Christ, our Redeemer, liveth; For us He pleads His offering pure, To us His Spirit giveth. Though dear ones pass away, Though strength and life decay, Yet loss shall be our gain, For God doth still remain Our All-in-all forever. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Forte Rocha

Author: Martin Luther; João Finotti; Miguel Oliva Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Forte Rocha é Deus Sempiterno Lyrics: 1 Forte Rocha é Deus Sempiterno; Nossa fé só n’Ele se funda; Seu amor celestial e paterno, Na tribulação nos circunda. Do astuto tentador Nos livra o Criador E nos protege; Nada nós temeremos, Pois o Invencível nós temos. 2 Estará para sempre perdido Quem em si somente confia, Mas será lá do céu socorrido, Crendo em Jesus, nosso Guia. O Filho do bom Deus É Defensor dos Seus, É Rei da glória; D’Ele virtude temos, E vitória alcançaremos. 3 Se as hostes do mal desejassem, Com rancor e fúria, tragar-nos, Antes que sobre nós se lançassem, Deus viria para livrar-nos, É grande Seu poder A nos fará vencer Em todo o tempo; Ao mandado do Eterno, Fugirá o rei do inferno. 4 A Palavra que nos dá a vida Deve ser por nós exaltada; Ela é dos fiéis a guarida Que não pode ser abalada. O mal virá tentar A fim de despojar Os resgatados, Mas teremos vitória, Pois é nosso o reino e a glória. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
