A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881); Martin Luther (1483-1546) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: John 20:10-18 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep 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; they cannot 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, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.

He is now the Living One; From the gloomy halls of death Christ the Conqueror has gone, Bright Forerunner to the skies Of His people, yet to rise. 2 Jesus lives! Let all rejoice! Praise Him, ransomed ones of earth. Praise Him in a nobler song, Cherubim of heav'nly birth. Praise the Victor-King, whose sway Sin and death and hell obey. 3 Jesus lives! Why weepest thou? Why that sad and frequent sigh? He who died our Brother here Lives our Brother still on high. Lives forever to bestow Blessings on His Church below. 4 Jesus lives! And thus, my soul, Life eternal waits for thee; Joined to Him, thy living Head, Where He is, thou, too shalt be; With Himself, at His right hand, Victor over death shalt stand. 5 Jesus lives! To Him my heart Draws with ever new delight. Earthly vanities, depart, Hinder not my heavenward flight. Let this spirit ever rise To its Magnet in the skies. 6 Hallelujah, angels, sing! Join us in our hymn of praise; Let your chorus swell the strain Which our feebler voices raise; Glory to our God above And on earth His peace and love! Amen.
