Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 26 Lyrics: 1 A City of exceeding strength Doth happily to us belong; And the decreed salvation shall Like walls and bulwarks keep it strong. 2 Set open then the city-gates, That so the righteous nation, who Immoveably maintains the truth, May gladly enter thereinto. 3 In perfect peace Thou such a one wilt ever surely cause to be, Whose mind on Thee securely stays; Because he hopes alone on Thee. 4 Repose then ever in the LORD The lively hope of all your mind! Because in JAH, JEHOVAH, sure, A rock eternal ye shall find. 5 He'll bring down those who dwell on high, He'll lay the haughty city low, He'll lay it level with the ground, And down into the dust will throw. 6 The feet of the afflicted shall In triumph tread it wholly down; And it shall lie beneath the feet Of him that was a helpless one. [2 Part] 7 The way of ev'ry righteous man Is universal righteousness; And thou, O RIGHTEOUS ONE, dost weigh In righteousness each path of his. 8 Moreover in thy judgments way, LORD, Thee we longing look to see; Our souls desire is to thy name, And to the memory of Thee. 9 In the dark seasons of the night, My soul Thee earnestly desires: My wakeful spirit in my breast For Thee at early dawn inquires, For when thy judgments are display'd On earth, the world's inhabitants Shou'd lay to heart thy righteous works, And learn the righteousness of saints. 10 Tho' for a wicked man there should Bowels of heav'nly pity yearn, Yet he the way of righteousness Will not perswaded be to learn: He'll work perverse iniquity; Nor will he ev'n so much as see JEHOVAH's glorious majesty. 11 LORD, when thine hand is lifted up, In thy most awful judgments, high; yet lest they see thine hand therein, Perversely they will shut their eye. But with confusion they shall see The zeal Thou for thy people hast, And the consuming fire that shall Thine adversaries wholly waste. [3 Part] 12 JEHOVAH, certainly Thou wilt Safety and peace for us ordain: For our affairs Thou mange dost, And for us, all our works maintain. 13 O LORD our God, tho' other Lords Have reigned over us, we own; Yet hence, thy name we mention will, And by Thee none but thine alone. 14 They'r dead, and shall not live again; Deceas'd, and never shall arise; Thy judgments have destroy'd them quite, Yea caus'd that all their mem'ry dies. 15 The nation, LORD, increasest Thou, Our nation greatly hast increas'd; And Thou hast glorify'd thy self, And thro' the earth dispers'd them hast. 16 O LORD, when they were in distress, They Thee then visited with cries; And pray'r in secret poured out, When Thou didst sorely them chastize. 17 Like as a pregnant woman when Approaching travail comes apace, Is pain'd, and in her pangs cries out; So were we, LORD, before thy face. 18 We trouble have conceiv'd, are pain'd, But bring forth vanity, and wind; Nor do the world's disturbers fall: Nor we on earth deliverance find. [4 Part] 19 Thy dead shall surely live again, With thy dead body rise they must: Awake out of the sleep of death, And sing ye who dwell in the dust! Because the dew that falls on thee, Is like the dew that makes herbs grow; But out abroad with violence, The earth the wicked ones shall throw. 20 Come then my people enter in To chambers that most secret are; And after thee shut thou the doors, And make them fast with utmost care. There do thou hide thy self a while; It shall but as a moment be, And all the indignation shall Be pass'd for ever over thee. 21 For lo, the LORD is coming forth, Out of his dwelling place on high, Upon the earth's inhabitants, To punish their iniquity. The earth shall then disclose and show The bloods within her buried; Her slain shall be brought forth to view, And be no longer covered.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Hymnal: Glory to God #275 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Scripture: Isaiah 26:4 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.

Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Author of "We Bless Thee for Thy Peace" in The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Oscar Ahnfelt

1813 - 1882 Person Name: Oscar Ahnfelt, 1813-1882 Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Composer of "BLOTT EN DAG" in The Covenant Hymnal Oscar Ahnfelt (1813 -1882) was a Swedish singer and composer. He wrote the music for many of Lina Sandell’s hymns. A pietist, he raised some concern in the State-church, but his music was apparently so popular, King Karl XV gave him permission to play and sing in both of his kingdoms. Ahnfelt’s music has spread throughout the world; two of his best-known songs are “Children of the Heavenly Father” and “Day by Day.” Laura de Jong
