If God Himself Be for Me
Author: Richard Massie, 1800-1887; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1675 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #454 (1978) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 If God himself be for me,
I may a host defy;
For when I pray, before me
My foes, confounded, fly.
If Christ, my head and master,
Befriend me from above,
What foe or what disaster
Can drive me from his love?
2 I build on this foundation,
That Jesus and his blood
Alone are my salvation,
The true, eternal good.
Without him all that pleases
Will vain and empty prove.
The gifts I have from Jesus
Alone are worth my love.
3 Christ Jesus is my splendor,
My sun, my light, alone;
Were he not my defender
Before God’s awesome throne,
I never should find favor
And mercy in his sight,
But be destroyed forever
As darkness by the light.
4 For joy my heart is ringing;
All sorrow disappears;
And full of mirth and singing,
It wipes away all tears.
The sun that cheers my spirit
Is Jesus Christ, my king;
The heav'n I shall inherit
Makes me rejoice and sing. Topics: Trust, Guidance; Pentecost 12; Pentecost 15 (Year A); Comfort and Rest; Justification; Sorrow; Trust, Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: IST GOTT FÜR MICH

If God Himself Be for Me
Author: Richard Massie; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #473 (1937) Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me,
I may a host defy;
For when I pray, before me
My foes confounded fly.
If Christ, the Head, befriend me,
If God be my support,
The mischief they intend me
Shall quickly come to naught.
2 I build on this foundation,
That Jesus and His Blood
Alone are my Salvation,
The true Eternal Good;
Without Him, all that pleases
Is valueless on earth;
The gifts I owe to Jesus
Alone my love are worth.
3 His Holy Spirit dwelleth
Within my willing heart,
Tames it when it rebelleth,
And soothes the keenest smart.
He crowns His work with blessing,
And helpeth me to cry
"My Father." without ceasing,
To Him who reigns on high.
4 To mine His Spirit speaketh
Sweet words of soothing power,
How God for Him that seeketh
For rest hath rest in store;
How God Himself prepareth
My heritage and lot,
And, though my body weareth,
My heaven shall fail me not.
Amen.

If God Himself Be for Me
If God Himself be for me
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #526 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me,
I may a host defy,
For when I pray, before me
My foes confounded fly.
If Christ, my Head and Master,
Befriend me from above,
What foe or what disaster
Can drive me from His love?
2 This I believe--yea, rather,
In this I make my boast,
That God is my dear Father.
The Friend who loves me most;
And that, whate'er betide me,
My Savior is at hand,
Through stormy seas to guide me,
And bring me safe to land.
3 I build on this foundation,
That Jesus and His blood
Alone are my salvation,
The true, eternal good;
Without Him, all that pleases
Is valueless on earth;
The gifts I owe to Jesus
Alone my love are worth.
4 My Jesus is my Splendor,
My soul's bright-beaming Sun;
Were He not my Defender
Before God's awful throne,
I never should find favor
And mercy in His sight,
But be destroyed forever,
As darkness by the light.
5 He canceled my offenses,
And saved my soul from death;
'Tis He who ever cleanses
Me from my sins through faith.
In Him I can be cheerful,
Bold, and undaunted aye:
In Him I am not fearful,
Of God's great judgment-day.
6 Naught, naught can e'er condemn me,
Nor set my hope aside;
Now hell no more can claim me,
Its fury I deride.
No sentence e'er reproves me,
No ill destroys my peace,
For Christ, my Savior, loves me
And screens me with His grace.
7 His Spirit in me dwelleth
And o'er my mind He reigns.
All sorrow He dispelleth
And soothes away all pains.
He crowns His work with blessing,
And helpeth me to cry
"My Father!" without ceasing,
To Him who dwells on high.
8 To mine His Spirit speaketh
Sweet word of holy cheer,
How God, to Him that seeketh
For rest, is always near,
And how He hath erected
A city fair and new,
Where what our faith expected
We evermore shall view.
9 In yonder home doth flourish
My heritage, my lot,
Though here I die and perish,
My heaven shall fail me not.
Though care my life oft saddens
And causeth tears to flow,
The light of Jesus gladdens
And sweetens every woe.
10 Who clings with resolution
To Him whom Satan hates,
Must look for persecution;
For him the burden waits
Of mockery, shame, and losses,
Heaped on his guiltless head;
A thousand plagues and crosses
Shall be his daily bread.
11 All this I am prepared for,
Yet am I not afraid;
By Thee shall all be cared for,
To whom my vows were paid.
Though life and limb it cost me
And everything I have,
Unshaken shall I trust Thee,
Thee never shall I leave.
12 Though earth be rent asunder,
Thou'rt mine eternally;
Not fire, nor sword, nor thunder,
Shall sever me from Thee;
Not hunger, thirst, nor danger,
Not pain nor poverty,
Nor mighty princes' anger,
Shall ever hinder me.
13 No angel, and no gladness,
No throne, no pomp, no show,
No love, no hate, no sadness,
No pain, no depth of woe,
No scheme of man's contrivance,
However small or great,
Shall draw me from Thy guidance,
Nor from Thee separate.
14 My heart for joy is springing,
And can no more be sad,
'Tis full of mirth and singing,
Sees naught but sunshine glad:
The Sun that cheers my spirit
Is Jesus Christ my King,
That which I shall inherit
Hereafter, makes me sing. Topics: The Cross and Comfort Languages: English

5 For no one can condemn me
Or set my hope aside;
Now hell no more can claim me;
Its fury I deride.
No sentence now reproves me,
No guilt destroys my peace;
For Christ, my Savior, loves me
And shields me with His grace.
6 Who clings with resolution
To Him whom Satan hates
Must look for persecution;
For him the burden waits
Of mock'ry, shame, and losses
Heaped on his blameless head;
A thousand plagues and crosses
Will be his daily bread.
7 From me this is not hidden,
Yet am I not afraid;
I leave my cares, as bidden,
To whom my vows were paid.
Though life from me be taken
And ev'rything I own,
I trust in You unshaken
And cleave to You alone.
8 No danger, thirst, or hunger,
No pain or poverty,
No earthly tyrant's anger
Shall ever vanquish me.
Though earth should break asunder,
My fortress You shall be;
No fire or sword or thunder
Shall sever You from me.
9 No angel and no gladness,
No throne, no pomp, no show,
No love, no hate, no sadness,
No pain, no depth of woe,
No scheming, no contrivance,
No subtle thing or great
Shall draw me from Your guidance
Nor from You separate.
10 My heart with joy is springing;
I am no longer sad.
My soul is filled with singing;
Your sunshine makes me glad.
The sun that cheers my spirit
Is Jesus Christ, my King;
The heav'n I shall inherit
Makes me rejoice and sing.

If God Himself Be for Me
If God Himself Be For Me
Author: H. Brueckner; P. Gerhardt Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #274 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me
Who shall against me be?
His banner waving o'er me,
My foes in terror flee.
If God in Christ befriend me
And stay me with His arm,
The help that He doth lend me
Will keep me safe from harm.
2 My faith and hope are founded
On Jesus Christ alone;
He on the cross was wounded
That I a crown might own.
For what the world doth treasure
Will nevermore remain;
Thro' Christ in fullest measure
True riches I obtain.
3 In heaven there remaineth
A blissful rest for me,
A joy that never waneth,
A life from sorrow free.
Tho' tears I here be weeping
And bitter sorrows know,
I am in Jesus' keeping;
He sweetens all my woe.
4 My heart for joy is leaping,
It can no more be sad;
Is golden harvests reaping,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
The Sun that cheers my spirit
Is Christ, my Lord and King;
The crown I shall inherit
Makes me rejoice and sing. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English Tune Title: TESCHNER
