A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1805-1890 Hymnal: HOP2015 #5 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 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 does 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 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours thro' 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. Topics: Praise to God Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

Abide with Me

Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: HOP2015 #139 (2015) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O Lord who changes not, abide with me. 3 I need your presence every passing hour; what but your grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like yourself, my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with you at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies: heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Walking in Faith Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
