Our Lord and God, Oh, Bless This Day

Author: Johan N. Brun; George T. Rygh; Carl Döving Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Lord and God, oh, bless this day And hear us, we implore Thee; None of Thy children turn away Who now appear before Thee. We come before Thy face And pray: Let Thy rich grace Descend from heav'n above In all Thy wondrous love And keep us by Thy Spirit. 2 Oh, bless Thy Word to all the young; Let them, Thy truth possessing, Bear witness true with heart and tongue, Their faith and ours confessing. From mother's arms Thy grace With love did them embrace; Baptized into Thy name, As Thine Thou didst them claim. O Lord, as Thine now own them! 3 When they their vows today renew, Accept them with Thy favor; And when they promise to be true, May they forget it never! But they are weak and frail When Satan's hosts assail; Oh, arm them with Thy might And grant that in the fight They unto death be faithful! 4 And when they leave their childhood home, When Satan comes alluring, May their baptismal grace become A refuge reassuring! Blest he who then can say: "God's cov'nant stands for aye." He ne'er shall be undone Who trusts in God alone-- God is his mighty Father! Amen.

God is our stronghold firm and sure

Author: Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: God is our stronghold firm and sure, Our trusty shield and weapon, He shall deliver us, whate'er Of ill to us may happen. Our ancient Enemy In earnest now is he, Much craft and great might Arm him for the fight, On earth is not his fellow. Our might is nought but weakness, soon Should we the battle lose, But for us fights the rightful Man, Whom God Himself doth choose. Asketh thou His name? 'Tis Jesus Christ, the same Whom Lord of Hosts we call, God only over all; None from the field can drive Him. What though the world were full of fiends, That would us sheer devour! We know we yet shall win the day, We fear not all their power. The Prince of this world still, May struggle as he will, He nothing can prevail, A word shall make him quale, For he is judged of heaven. The word of God they cannot touch, Yet have no thanks therefore, God by His Spirit and His gifts, Is with us in the war. Then let them take our life, Goods, honour, children, wife, Though nought of these we save, Small profit shall they have, The kingdom ours abideth.

Flung to the Heedless Winds

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546; J. A. Messenger Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Flung to the heedless winds Or on the waters cast, The martyrs' ashes, watched, Shall gathered be at last. And from that scattered dust, Around us and abroad, Shall spring a plenteous seed Of witnesses for God. 2 The Father hath received Their latest living breath, And vain is Satan's boast Of vict'ry in their death. Still, still, though dead, they speak, And, trumpet-tongued, proclaim To many a wak'ning land The one availing name. Topics: Saints and Martyrs
