A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Meter: Irregular Appears in 702 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he,
The Lord of Hosts his name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us;
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, is standing;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours—
We answer his commanding.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth is ruling still—
His kingdom is forever!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Who has our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The strife at last is ended;
God his good will displays to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again;
O thank him for his goodness.
2 We praise, we worship you, we trust,
And give you thanks forever,
O Father, that your rule is just,
And wise, and changes never;
Your boundless power o'er all things reigns,
You do whate'er your will ordains;
'Tis well you are our ruler!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Begotten of the Father,
O Savior, who our peace restored,
And who lost sheep did gather,
O Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need and hear our cry;
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious gift,
O Comforter unfailing,
Do you our troubled souls uplift,
Against the foe prevailing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
Do you in faith sustain us!

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flower and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown:
O send us forth, your prophets true,
To make all lands your own!
2 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And reverent souls adore,
Illumine every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore:
Dispel the gloom of error's night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life's pathway clear!
3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness,
And all disharmony,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, your Son,
Whose life and death reveal your face,
By whom your will was done;
Help us to spread your gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!

And for us salvation won;
By whose cross and death are we
Rescued from sin's misery.

In all trials, fears, and needs.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 931 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall:
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all!
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would his favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:22-35 Used With Tune: WALKER

We Are Living, We Are Dwelling
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 205 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Reformation Day; Other Observances Stewardship Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling
In a grand and awful time.
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Hosts advancing to the fray;
Hark! what sounds is all creation's
Groaning for the latter day.
2 Will you play, then? will you dally
Far behind the battle line?
Up! it is Jehovah's rally;
Your full strength with God's combine.
Worlds are charging, heaven beholding;
You have but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
On, right onward for the right!
3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never;
Consecrated, born again;
Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever,
O for Christ at least be men!
O let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake go abroad!
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages, tell for God.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 16:2-3 Used With Tune: BLAENHAFREN
We Are Living, We Are Dwelling
