Lord, not to us, we claim it not
Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: Church Book #273 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 Lord, not to us, we claim it not,
To Thee be all the praise,
That no profane and sinful spot
Our mother church o'erlays:
That, as in her primeval days,
From intermediate stain
Cleansed by Thy Word, to Thee she pays
Unsullied rites again.
2 To no material form confined,
A spirit pure alone,
We serve Thee not in likeness shrined
Of bread, or wood, or stone:
Nor saint nor angel at Thy throne
We crave to intercede,
With Thee for our misdeeds atone,
With Thee for mercy plead.
3 But far remote we seek Thy face,
Hid in Thy heavenly seat:
And, sole Transmitter of Thy grace,
The Saviour's Name entreat:
And thus to Thee with honor meet
We hymn the grateful lay,
Whose Word recalled our erring feet,
And warned us how to pray.
4 To Thee, adored in ages past,
Eternal One and Three,
To Thee, whose worship aye shall last,
In trinal Unity:
To Thee, O Father; Son, to Thee;
And Thee, O Spirit blest,
By saints on earth all glory be
With saints in heaven addrest!

Heavenly Spirit, all others Transcending
Author: G. T. Rygh; Johan Nordahl Brun Hymnal: Concordia #92 (1918) Topics: Church Festivals Pentecost Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Spirit, all others transcending,
Thou who with Father and Son dost abide!
Come Thou, our spirits in unity blending,
Come and make ready the heavenly bride!
Calling and gathering, and Jesus declaring,
Building God's Church, shedding light from above,
Come, O Thou Spirit of God, never tiring.
Come and interpret God's wonderful love!
2 Merciful Jesus, with love never failing,
Sending Thy Spirit, the pledge ever new,
That Thy atonement for all is availing,
Faith ever sees that Thy promise is true.
Crowned are Thy servants with heavenly fire,
Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame;
Heavenly Spirit, our voices inspire,
That we may sing of His glorious name!
3 Heav'nly Consoler, with unction celestial,
Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-burdened heart!
Strengthen our faith, and with zeal Pentecostal
Fill our faint souls, and Thy blessings impart!
Create within us new hearts and new spirits;
Lead us in truth, and sustain us in woe;
Teach us true faith in the dear Savior's merits,
So that at death we Thy power may know!

What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign. Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

A mighty Fortress is our God
Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Church Book #274 (1890) Topics: The Church Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty Shield and Weapon;
He helps us free from every need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old bitter foe
Means us deadly woe:
Deep guile and great 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 is this?
Jesus Christ it is,
Of Sabaoth Lord,
And there's none other God,
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.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none,
He's judged, the deed is done,
One little word o'erthrows him.
4 The Word they still shall let remain,
And not a thank have for it,
He's by our side upon the plain,
With His good gifts and Spirit,
Take thy then our life,
Goods, fame, child and wife;
When their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won,
The Kingdom ours remaineth. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG IST UNSER GOTT

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;

The everlasting Light:
The hopes and fears Of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

Their watch of wond'ring love.

The blessings of His heaven.

But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.

Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?

Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound;
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found. [Chorus]

His eternal cov'nant
He will never break!
Resting on His promise,
What have we to fear?

Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer:
Glorify Thy name.

Where or how to live?
Can a Father’s love refuse
All the best to give?
More Thou givest ev'ry day
Than the best can claim;
Nor withholdest aught that may
Glorify Thy name.
3 If in mercy Thou wilt spare
Joys that yet are mine;
If on life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays may shine,
Let my glad heart, while it sings,
Thee in all proclaim;
And whate’er the future brings,
Glorify Thy name.
4 If Thou callest to the cross,
And its shadow come,
Turning all my gain to loss,
Shrouding heart and home:
Let me think how Thy dear Son
To His glory came,
And in deepest woe pray on,

Come, ye Faithful, raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; J. M. Neale Hymnal: Concordia #86 (1918) Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness,
God has brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness;
Loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters,
Led them with unmoistened foot
Thro' the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today,
Christ hath burst His prison,
And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun hath risen;
All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
From His light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to glad Jerusalem,
Who with true affection
Welcomes, in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death
Nor the tomb’s dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal,
Hold Thee as a mortal;
But today amid Thine own
Thou didst stand, bestowing
This, Thy peace, which evermore
Passeth human knowing.

Strong mail of craft and power

Our striving would be losing;

Who wins the victory
In ev'ry field of battle.

All watching to devour us,
Our souls to fear we need not yield,
They cannot overpower us;

Can harm us as of yore;

A word shall overthrow him.
