Fear not, O little flock, the foe

Author: Johann Michael Altenburg, 1584-1640; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #470 (1961) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: Martyrs Lyrics: 1 Fear not, O little flock, the foe Who madly seeks your overthrow; Dread not his rage and pow'r: What though your courage sometimes faints, His seeming triumph o'er God's saints Lasts but a little hour. 2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs To him who can avenge your wrongs; Leave it to him, our Lord: Though hidden yet from all our eyes, He sees the Gideon who shall rise To save us and his Word. 3 As true as God's own Word is true, Nor earth nor hell with all their crew Against us shall prevail. A jest and byword are they grown; God is with us, we are his own; Our vict'ry cannot fail. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our pray'r; Great Captain, now thine arm make bare, Fight for us once again; So shall thy saints and martyrs raise A mighty chorus to thy praise, World without end. Amen. Amen. Scripture: Luke 12:32 Languages: English Tune Title: JEHOVAH NISSI

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #553 (1996) Topics: Saints and Martyrs Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright; With palms they stand. Who is this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame. Now gathered in the holy place, Their voices they in worship raise; Their anthems swell where God doth dwell Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they must appear! Those martyrs stand, a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above the God of love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is Host and Guest. 3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong. Languages: English Tune Title: DEN STORE HVIDE FLOK

To them are chanted Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted. 5 Come, O Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With you, th' Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Languages: English Tune Title: O WIE SELIG
