A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 702 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World 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; 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 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– 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! Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

Refrain First Line: We have an anchor that keeps the soul Lyrics: 1 Will your anchor hold in the storms of life? When the clouds unfold their wings of strife, when the strong tides lift and the cables strain, will your anchor drift or firm remain? [Refrain:] We have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll, fastened to the Rock which cannot move, grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love! 2 It will surely hold in the straits of fear, when the breakers tell and the reef is near; though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow, not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow? [Refrain] 3 It will surely hold in the floods of death, when the waters cold chill our latest breath; on the rising tide you can never fail while our hopes abide within the veil. [Refrain] 4 When our eyes behold, through the gathering night, the city of gold, our harbour bright, we shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore, with the storms all past for evermore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,807 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! 2 My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of your name. 3 The name of Jesus charms our fears and bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life and health and peace. 4 He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood avails for me. 5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, new life the dead receive; the mournful, broken hearts rejoice; the humble poor believe. 6 Hear him, you deaf; you voiceless ones, your loosened tongues employ; you blind, behold your Savior come; and leap, you lame, for joy! 7 To God all glory, praise, and love be now and ever given by saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heaven.
