O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe
Author: J. M. Altenburg, 1584-1640; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 0 little flock, fear not 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 mortal eyes,
His Gideon shall for you arise,
Uphold you and His Word.
3 As true as God's own Word is true,
Not 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 prayer;
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.

Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
Author: Edward Osler, 1798-1863 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in your way
And speak your holy Word.
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful strength afford.
2 Help them to preach your truth, O God,
Redemption through the Savior's blood,
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church his gifts to show'r:
To them a messenger of pow'r;
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to you alone,
Then hear the welcome word,"Well done,"
And take their crown above,
Enter into their Master's joy
And all eternity employ
In praise and bliss and love. Topics: Ordination, Installation Used With Tune: KOMMT HER ZU MIR

Verzage nicht, du Häuflein klein
Author: Jakob Fabricius Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Verzage nicht, o Häuflein klein,
obschon die Feinde Willens sein,
dich gänzlich zu verstören
und suchen deinen Untergang,
davon dir recht wird angst und bang:
es wird nicht lange währen.
2 Tröste dich nur, daß deine Sach
ist Gottes, dem befiehl die Rach,
und laß es ihn nur walten.
Er wird durch einen Gideon,
den er wohl weiß, der helfen schon,
dich und sein Wort erhalten.
3 So wahr Gott Gott ist und sein Wort,
muß Teufel, Welt und Höllenpfort
und was dem thut anhangen
endlich werden zu Hohn und Spott;
Gott ist mit uns und wir mit Gott,
den Sieg volln wir erlangen.
4 Ach Gott, big indes deine Gnad,
daß wir all Sünd und Missertat
in rechter Buß erkennen
und glauben fest an Jesus Christ,
zu helfen er ein Meister ist,
wie er sich selbst tut nennen.
5 Hilf daß wir auch nach deinem Wort
gottselig leben immerfort
zu Ehren deinem Namen,
daß uns dein guter Geist regier,
auf ebner Bahn zum Himmel führ
durch Jesus Christ, Amen. Topics: Lieder zum Gottesdienst Sammlung und Sendung Used With Tune: [Verzage nicht, du Häuflein klein]

I Do Not Come Because My Soul
Author: Frank B. St. John Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I do not come because my soul
Is free from sin and pure and whole
And worthy of Thy grace;
I do not speak to Thee because
I’ve ever justly kept Thy laws
And dare to meet Thy face.
2. I know that sin and guilt combine
To reign o’er every thought of mine
And turn from good to ill;
I know that, when I try to be
Upright and just and true to Thee,
I am a sinner still.
3. I know that often when I strive
To keep a spark of love alive
For Thee, the powers within
Leap up in unsubmissive might
And oft benumb my sense of right
And pull me back to sin.
4. I know that, though in doing good
I spend my life, I never could
Atone for all I’ve done;
But though my sins are black as night,
I dare to come before Thy sight
Because I trust Thy Son.
5. In Him alone my trust I place,
Come boldly to Thy throne of grace,
And there commune with Thee.
Salvation sure, O Lord, is mine,
And, all unworthy, I am Thine,
For Jesus died for me. Used With Tune: KOMMT HER ZU MIR

Be not dismayed, thou little flock
Author: J. M. Altenburg Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock,
Although the foe's fierce battle-shock,
Loud on all sides, assail thee;
Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure,
Their triumph cannot long endure:
Let not thy courage fail thee.
2 Thy cause is God's; go at His call,
And to His hand commit thy all;
Fear thou no ill impending:
His Gideon shall arise for thee,
God's word and people manfully,
In God's own time defending.
3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might;
Against themselves the godless fight,
Themselves, not us, distressing;
Shame and contempt their lot shall be;
God is with us, with Him are we,
To us belongs His blessing. Topics: The Church It's Strength and Permanence ; The Church Its Strength and Permanence; Church of Christ; Trust in God Used With Tune: [Be not dismayed, thou little flock]

Together lead a godly life,
By deeds their faith confessing!
There many a happy day is spent;
There Jesus gladly will consent
To tarry with His blessing.
2 If thou hast given Him thine heart,
The place of honor set apart
For Him each night and morrow,
Then He the storms of life will calm,
Will bring for ev'ry wound a balm,
And change to joy thy sorrow.
3 And if thy home be dark and drear,
The cruse be empty, hunger near,
All hope within thee dying;
Despair not in thy sore distress,
Lo, Christ is there the bread to bless,
The fragments multiplying.
4 O Lord, we come before Thy face;
In ev'ry home bestow Thy grace
On children, father, mother.
Relieve their wants, their burdens ease,
Let them together dwell in peace
And love to one another! Topics: Marriage and Family; Epiphany 2 Scripture: Psalm 128 Used With Tune: KOMMT HER ZU MIR

Thou Little Flock, Be Not Afraid
Author: M. Loy; Joh. Mich. Altenburg Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou little flock, be not afraid,
Tho' foes against thee stand arrayed,
All ready to destroy thee;
Although thy ruin they prepare
And fill thee oft with anxious care,
They shall not long annoy thee.
2 Thy cause is God's; this comfort thee;
May His, not thine, the vengeance be;
Let Him perform His pleasure;
The needful help thou shalt obtain;
Thee and His Word He will sustain
Thro' Christ, His own dear Treasure.
3 As God is God, and true His Word,
Fierce Satan and his hellish herd,
The world and all their powers
Shall reap but shame beneath His rod:
God is with us, and we with God:
The vict'ry must be ours. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Used With Tune: LITTLE FLOCK
