A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 674 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:2 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 earthly 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.

Beneath the cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 521 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from burning heart at noontide and the burden of the day. 2 O safe and happy shelter! O refuge tried and sweet! O trysting place where heaven's love and heaven's justice meet! As to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was given, so seems my Saviour's cross to me a ladder up to heav'n. 3 There lies, beneath its shadow but on the farther side, the darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide; and there between us stands the cross, two arms outstretched to save; a watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave. 4 Upon that cross of Jesus mine eyes at times can see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; and from my strikes heart, with tears, two wonders I confess - the wonders of redeeming love, and my unworthiness. 5 I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place! I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let the world go by, to reckon gain as loss - my sinful self, my only shame, my glory all - the cross.

Give to the winds thy fears

Author: J. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 517 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:9-11 Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head: Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears the way: Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 2 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight--let fear depart, And every care be gone. What though thou rulest not; Yet heaven and earth and hell Proclaim--God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 3 Leave to his sov-reign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wond'ring, own his way, How wise, how strong his hand! Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; He Ruleth All Things Well
