By Faith We Are Divinely Sure

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By faith we are divinely sure That grace to us is given. No human effort can secure This precious gift from heaven. 'Tis God Himself who must begin The blessed work of faith within And lead us to the Savior. 2 A wondrous blessing is our faith, It gives the peace we treasure, It comforts us in life and death And grants us joy's full measure. It helps us overcome our grief, And for our doubts we find relief By trusting in God's promise. 3 Though in a dark and fearsome hour My sins may sore accuse me, God shall sustain me by His power And not His grace refuse me. More than my sins His grace abounds, A truth that in His Word resounds For all repentant sinners. 4 The Word of God can never fail, It is the rock of ages When Satan doth my faith assail, Or doubt its battle wages. No more shall fear my soul enfold, Since I by faith God's grace behold, Which every fear can banish. 5 My faith shall keep in mind its goal And constantly endeavor To conquer what ensnares the soul And would from God me sever, While holding fast its gleaming shield, The Spirit's sword I too will wield, Until my foes are vanquished. 6 Now in this faith I will abide Until my days are ended. I will not fear what may betide, I am by faith defended. God's Word a token doth remain That in this faith I shall retain The promised crown and glory.

A tower of strength our God doth stand

Author: H. J. Buckoll; Marin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A tower of strength our God doth stand, A shield and sure defender: True help from all our woes, His hand Thro' life doth freely render. Our foe hath fixed his purpose fell, with might and craft he's arm'd full well, On earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can: Full soon were we o'erridden: But for us fights the goodly man Whom God Himself hath bidden. Ask ye His Name? 'Tis Christ our Lord, The God of Hosts alone adored, Our Champion, none dare brave Him. 3 Should hell's whole legion round us press, All banded to devour us, Yet this should work us good success, Nor fear e'en then o'erpower us: Though this world's prince look fierce and bold, It maters not, his doom is told, A single word can foil him. 4 Our foes must let the Word stand sure; No thanks for this they're reaping; God's Spirit in His way secure, God's grace our souls is keeping; Those foes may spoil all earthly bliss; Let be! they win no gain from this, God's kingdom still is left us. Amen. Topics: Protection Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Philip A. Peter, 1832-1917; Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, 1532-c. 1600 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When Jesus, God's anointed, In all his power shall appear As judge whom God appointed. Then fright shall banish idle mirth, And hungry flames shall ravage earth, As Scripture long has warned us. 2 The final trumpet then shall sound, And all the earth be shaken, And all who rest beneath the ground Shall from their sleep awaken. But all who live will in that hour, By God's almighty, boundless pow'r, Be changed at his commanding. 3 May Christ our intercessor be And, through his blood and merit, Read from his book that we are free With all who life inherit. Then we shall see him face to face, With all his saints in that blest place Which he has purchased for us. 4 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Oh, hear and grant our fervent plea; Come, mighty judge, and set us free From death and ev'ry evil.
