A tower of strength our God doth stand

Author: H. J. Buckoll; Marin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A tower of strength our God doth stand, A shield and sure defender: True help from all our woes, His hand Thro' life doth freely render. Our foe hath fixed his purpose fell, with might and craft he's arm'd full well, On earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can: Full soon were we o'erridden: But for us fights the goodly man Whom God Himself hath bidden. Ask ye His Name? 'Tis Christ our Lord, The God of Hosts alone adored, Our Champion, none dare brave Him. 3 Should hell's whole legion round us press, All banded to devour us, Yet this should work us good success, Nor fear e'en then o'erpower us: Though this world's prince look fierce and bold, It maters not, his doom is told, A single word can foil him. 4 Our foes must let the Word stand sure; No thanks for this they're reaping; God's Spirit in His way secure, God's grace our souls is keeping; Those foes may spoil all earthly bliss; Let be! they win no gain from this, God's kingdom still is left us. Amen. Topics: Protection Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

All praise to Thee, eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord, Who wore the garb of flesh and blood; And chose a manger for Thy throne, While worlds on worlds were Thine alone. 2 Once did the skies before Thee bow; A virgin's arms contain Thee now; While angels who in Thee rejoice Now listen for Thine infant voice. 3 A little Child, Thou art our Guest, That weary ones in Thee may rest: Forlorn and lonely is Thy birth, That we may rise to heaven from earth. 4 Thou comest in the darksome night To make us children of the light, To make us, in the realms divine, Like Thine own angels, round Thee shine. 5 All this for us Thy love hath done; By this to Thee our love is won; For this our joyful songs we raise, For this we sing Thee ceaseless praise. Amen. Topics: General Used With Tune: [All praise to Thee, eternal Lord] Text Sources: Ancient Requiem (1st verse)

As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs

Author: Bishop Lowth; Geo. Gregory Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs, That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase, So pants my soul for Thee, great King of kings, So thirsts to reach Thy sacred dwelling place. 2 Lord, Thy sure mercies, ever in my sight, My heart shall gladden through the tedious day; And 'midst the dark and gloomy shades of night, To Thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay. 3 Why faint, my soul? why doubt Jehovah's aid? Thy God, the God of mercy, still shall prove; Within His courts thy thanks shall yet be paid: Unquestioned be His faithfulness and love. Amen.

Behold a humble train

Author: Rev. E. Harland Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a humble train The courts of God draw near; A virgin mother and her babe Before the Lord appear. 2 O wondrous blessèd sight! To faithful eyes made known, That lowly babe--the mighty God, The Prince of Peace, they own. 3 And now His temple shines With glory far more bright Than ere the former temple saw, E'en at its greatest height. 4 The cloud indeed was there, The symbol of the Lord; But here the Lord Himself appears, The true, incarnate Word. 5 Blest Saviour, come once more With power and grace divine; Our hearts Thy living temples make, Wholly and ever Thine. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Purification Used With Tune: [Behold a humble train]
