A Mighty Fortress is Our God

Author: Frederic Henry Hedge, 1805-1890; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: H4Y1966 #37 (1966) 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 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 eartly 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.

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903; Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Hymnal: H4Y1966 #98 (1966) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Crown Him with many crowns, The lamb upon His throne! Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless king Through all eternity. 2. Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save. His glories now we sing Who died, and rose on high-- Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die. 3. Crown Him of lords the Lord, Who over all doth reign, Who, once on earth, the incarnate word, For sinful men was slain, He lives in realms of light, Where saints with angels sing Their songs before Him day and night, Their God, redeemer, king.

Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed thee for His own abode; On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2. See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters And all fear of want remove; Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3. Savior, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
