A mighty Fortress is our God

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #76 (1903) Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us in our every need That has us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guide and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Jesus Christ, 'tis He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field for ever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'er throws him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit, Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth, Topics: The Christian Church; Reformation and Mission Reformation

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #130 (1903) 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, oh, 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 Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me! 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinner, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy 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!

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #41 (1903) First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Lyrics: 1 Alas and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred Head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing wonder, God's own Son Is suffering there for me! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker died For mankind's every sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; It brings to all a boundless grace, Robs death of all its fears. 5 Help me, O Lord, that I may see The debt of love I owe; Help me to keep myself to Thee, 'Tis all that I can do.

All hail to thee, O blessed morn!

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #18 (1903) Lyrics: 1 All hail to thee, O blessed morn! To tidings, long by prophets borne, Hast Thou fulfillment given. A sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven! Singing, Ringing, Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Lord to mankind given. 2 'Tis God's own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide, And help, as could no other; Rather Gather Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord's good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy's shower; Dying, Buying, Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heaven is rent To close upon us never; Our blessed Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher, Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother.
