A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 674 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14-18 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.

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 618 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
Lord, be for ever near me,
my master and my friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 Still let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle
and tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw me nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
Lord, speak to reassure me,
to chasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
true guardian of my soul.
4 Lord, let me see your footmarks
and in them plant my own;
that I may follow boldly
and in your strength alone;
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end;
and then in heaven receive me,
my Saviour and my friend. Topics: Commitment; Guidance; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Jesus Christ Lordship; Perseverance; Pilgrimage; Temptation Used With Tune: WOLVERCOTE

"Weary, heavy laden"
Author: John Newton Appears in 612 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 First Line: Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh:
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord! am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed;
By war without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him--thou hast died.
5 Oh, wondrous Love--to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name! Topics: Christ Hiding-Place; Christ Refuge; Prayer and Invocation Used With Tune: GIFT

And all His wonders tell.

Salvation from Your throne.

With messages of grace;

To save our fallen race.

The Church on earth can raise.
The highest heav'ns, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise.

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 503 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
all who feel the tempter’s power;
your Redeemer’s conflict see;
watch with him one bitter hour;
turn not from his griefs away;
learn from Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall;
view the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn from him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark that miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished!” hear him cry;
learn from Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay:
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76
