The Lord of Hosts

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, A helper ever near us; We will not fear tho' earth be moved, For God is nigh to cheer us. Although the mountains quake And earth's foundations shake, Tho' angry billows roar And break against the shore, Our mighty God will hear us. 2 God's city is forever blest With living waters welling; Since God is there she stands unmoved 'Mid tumults round her swelling; God speaks and all is peace, From war the nations cease; The Lord of Hosts is nigh, Our fathers' God Most High Is our eternal dwelling. 3 Behold what God has done on earth; His wrath brings desolation, His grace, commanding wars to cease, Brings peace to ev'ry nation; Be still, for He is Lord, By all the earth adored; The Lord of Hosts is nigh, Our fathers' God Most High Is our strong habitation.

God is our stronghold and our stay

Author: Elizabeth Wordsworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: God is our stronghold and our stay, Our hope in tribulation; What though the mountains rock and sway To earth's long-hid foundation? What though the ocean roar, Fast gaining on the shore, The hurtling storm rage loud Beneath the thunder cloud? Our hearts are all untroubled. The might of water sinks to rest; How calm yon river glideth, God's city mirrored on its breast, The house where he abideth! Hushed be all strife and din! His presence dwells within, She standeth unremoved, By God himself beloved, Who helpeth her right early. In vain the heathen shout for war, In vain our foes assemble; The voice of God is heard from far, And earth itself shall tremble. He breaks the spear and bow, He lays the warrior low, The chariot burns with flame; Our trust is in his Name, And Jacob's God our refuge! Be still, the Lord is God alone, Let all the world adore him, And bending low before his throne, For pitying grace implore him. His kingdom is within, O'er hearts made pure from sin, Where love that casts out fear Exults to feel him near, The Lord of hosts our refuge.

Be Strong in God

Author: Susan Peterson Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Be strong in God and in His power Lyrics: 1. Be strong in God and in His power; Put on His armor every day. Thus you can take your stand each hour; The devil’s schemes won’t lead you astray. The battle’s like a flood, Though not ’gainst flesh and blood; But ’gainst the spiritual realm, With Satan at the helm; You face the powers of darkness. 2. Take God’s full armor—your life surround, So when the day of evil appears, You’ll then be able to stand your ground, And after all, to stand without fear. Stand firm, then, in the faith, The belt of truth in place; Breastplate of righteousness, Feet shod with readiness That comes from the true Gospel of peace. 3. Take, over all, the shield of faith, To quench the flaming arrows outpoured. Salvation’s helmet wear over your face, And take the Word, the Spirit’s sword. Pray in the Spirit’s power, All kinds of prayers each hour. Be always on alert, And pray for all the Church. Through God you’ll win the battle! Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

We Bless the Triune God of Might

Author: Neil Barham Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. We bless the Triune God of Might, Our Sovereign and our Savior, Who puts our enemies to flight, And guards us with His favor! Our song goes up to Him, Above the seraphim, Where awestruck angels gaze At Him, Ancient of Days, On high He reigns, exalted. 2. Majestic Father, ever supreme, Alone in light and glory, At Your command the heavens gleam And sing creation’s story. The wind and waves obey When Your Word bids them stay; All nature shows Your face Revealed in every place, To every heart and mind of man. 3. Jesus, the Christ, Anointed One, Firstborn of all creation, In human flesh, yet God the Son, The Captain of Salvation! My Righteousness You are! ’Tis written in the scars That beautify Your face, Proclaiming holy grace. In You all truth and love abide. 4. Great Spirit of the living Lord, Our Comforter and faithful Guide— You bring to us God’s out-breathed Word, Suffusing it with increate light. Convict us of our sin! Renew our hearts within! Restore salvation’s joy! Our hearts and minds employ In lives that flame with God-endued fire! 5. Robed in pure light that knew no dawn, Three Persons, yet One Essence, Avenging sin with righteous sword drawn, Yet mercy fills Your presence! Your wrath is great, and just; But in Your grace we trust! Your lovingkindness sure Will hold our souls secure, ’Til we behold Your face at last! Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

Grodem mocnym

Author: ks. Marcin Luter; ks. Jerzy Heczko. d. 1907 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Grodem mocnym jest Bóg wieczny Lyrics: 1 Grodem mocnym jest Bóg wieczny, orężem i obroną. Kto w nim ufa ten bezpieczny, On w nieszczęściu zas-ɵną. Dawny, srogi wróg pragnie, by nas zmógł, w podstęp się zbroi, zgubić nas się stroi; w świecie nie ma równego. 2 Nasza siła nic nie zdoła, w klęskach pr≤edko giniemy; lecz do boju wódz nas woła, z nim pewnie zwyciężymy! Pytasz, kto jest ten? Chrystus Boży Syn, nasz Pan nad pany, Bóg nasz uwielbiany; zwycięstwo Go nie minie! 3 Choćby świat był diabłów pełny, pragnących nas pochłonąć, odpór damy im rzetelny, strach nas nie ma ozionąć, Książe świata wzrok groźny rzuca w bok; próżno się sroży, skazał go sąd Boży! Ten go słówkiem rozbroi. 4 Słowa niech nie naruszają, a zrzeką się wdzięczności! Bóg jest z nami! Niech to znają, On da męstwa, śmiałości, chcąli życie wziąć, żonę, dzieci jąć, cześć, majętności; niech biorą w swej złości; nam królestwo zostanie!
