Christ Church Shall Glory
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: RitualSong (2nd ed.) #851 (2016) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 First Line: Christ's church shall glory in his pow'r Lyrics: 1 Christ’s church shall glory in his pow'r
And grow to his perfection;
He is our rock, our mighty tow'r
Our life, our resurrection:
So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.
4 Christ's body triumphs in his name;
One Father sov'reign giver.
One Spirit, with his love aflame,
One Lord, the same for ever.
To you, O God, our prize
The church of Christ shall rise
Beyond all measured height,
To that eternal light
Where Christ shall reign all-holy.

Christ Church Shall Glory
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Juan Bautista Cabrera, 1837-1916 Hymnal: Christian Worship #864 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 First Line: A mighty fortress is our God (Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios) 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 ancient evil foe
now means to work us woe;
deep guile and aweful 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 this may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he,
the Lord of hosts his name,
from age to age the same,
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.
The prince of darkness still
may scowl fierce as he will,
his raging harms 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 should they take our life,
goods, honor, child, and wife,
though all of these be gone,
our victory is won;
the kingdom's ours forever!

SPANISH-
1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios,
defensa y buen escudo;
con su poder nos librará
en este trance agudo.
Con furia y con afán
acósanos Satán;
por armas deja ver
astucia y gran poder:
cual él no hay en la tierra.
2 Nuestro valor es nada aquí,
con él todo es perdido;
mas por nosotros pugnará
de Dios el escogido.
¿Sabéis quién es? Jesús,
el que venció en la cruz,
Señor de Sabaot,
y pues él sólo es Dios,
él triunfa en la batalla.
3 Aun si están demonios mil
prontos a devorarnos,
no temeremos, porque Dios
sabrá aún prosperarnos.
Que muestre su vigor
Satán, y su furor
dañarnos no podrá;
pues condenado es ya
por la Palabra santa.
4 Sin destruirla dejarán,
aún mal de su grado,
esta Palabra del Señor;
él lucha a nuestro lado.
Que lleven con furor
los bienes, vida, honor,
los hijos, la mujer...
todo ha de perecer:
de Dios el reino queda. Topics: Church Militant Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG (Isorhythmic)

Our God stands like a fortress rock
God Is a Stronghold and a Tower
Author: Martin Luther; Elizabeth Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1790 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 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. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

Our Lord and God, Oh, Bless This Day
Author: Johan N. Brun; George A. T. Rygh; Carl Døving Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5049 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1. Our Lord and God, oh, bless this day
And hear us, we implore Thee;
None of Thy children turn away
Who now appear before Thee.
We come before Thy face
And pray: Let Thy rich grace
Descend from Heav’n above
In all Thy wondrous love
And keep us by Thy Spirit.
2. Oh, bless Thy Word to all the young;
Let them, Thy truth possessing,
Bear witness true with heart and tongue,
Their faith and ours confessing.
From mother’s arms Thy grace
With love did them embrace;
Baptized into Thy name,
As Thine Thou didst them claim.
O Lord, as Thine now own them!
3. When they their vows today renew,
Accept them with Thy favor;
And when they promise to be true,
May they forget it never!
But they are weak and frail
When Satan’s hosts assail;
Oh, arm them with Thy might
And grant that in the fight
They unto death be faithful!
4. And when they leave their childhood home,
When Satan comes alluring,
May their baptismal grace become
A refuge reassuring!
Blest he who then can say:
God’s covenant stands for aye.
He ne’er shall be undone
Who trusts in God alone—
God is his mighty father! Languages: English Tune Title: REUTER

Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of His name;
For He is God alone
Who hath His mercy shown;

2. When in distress to Him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining;
O trust in Him, whate’er betide,
His love is all sustaining;
Triumphant songs of praise
To Him our hearts shall raise;
Now every voice shall say,
O praise our God alway;
Let all His saints adore Him!

A Safe Stronghold Our God Is Still
Author: Martin Luther; Thomas Carlyle Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5875 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1. A safe stronghold our God is still,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He’ll help 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;
Not they can 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, honor, children, wife,
Yet is their profit small;
These things shall vanish all:
The City of God remaineth! Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
