No foes shall stay his might; Though he with giants fight, He will make good his right To be a pilgrim. 3 Since, Lord, Thou dost defend Us with Thy Spirit, We know we at the end Shall life inherit.

Make me a captive, Lord

Author: Rev. George Matheson (1842-1906) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Courage and Loyalty; Loyalty and Courage Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure— It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My power is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign; It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant And found in Thee its life. Amen. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

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 675 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
