Since Jesus is my friend

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Courage Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my friend, And I to Him belong, It matters not what foes intend, However fierce and strong. 2 He whispers in my breast Sweet words of holy cheer, How they who seek in God their rest Shall ever find Him near;-- 3 How God hath built above A city fair and new, Where eye and heart shall see and prove What faith has counted true. 4 My heart for gladness springs; It cannot more be sad; For very joy it laughs and sings,-- Sees naught but sunshine glad. 5 The sun that lights mine eyes Is Christ, the Lord I love; I sing for joy of that which lies Stored up for me above. Amen. Used With Tune: GREENWOOD

Come, Happy Souls, Approach Your God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Topics: Courage Lyrics: 1 Come, happy souls, approach your God With new melodious songs; Come, render to Almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. 2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men, The Father sent His equal Son To give them life again. 3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed With a revenging rod. No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. 4 But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down. 5 Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds, And wipe your sorrows dry: Trust in the mighty Savior’s name, And you shall never die. Scripture: John 3:16-17 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Rev. Frederick H. Hedge; Rev. Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 704 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Loyalty and Courage; Courage and Loyalty; Loyalty and Courage 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 Doth 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: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He, Lord Sabaoth 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 hath 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, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever. Amen. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 197 hymnals Topics: Courage Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride -- for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; and holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)
