A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Lent II Year C Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep us clear from all the ill that hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper man, whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye, 'Who is this same?' Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. *3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; not they can overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? His doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the City of God remaineth. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8-9 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Lent II Year C Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in his justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement given. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of man's mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own. 5 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 6 There is grace enough for thousands of new worlds as great as this; there is room for fresh creations in that upper home of bliss. 7 If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our lives would be all gladness in the joy of Christ our Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS

Immortal Love for ever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 316 hymnals Topics: Lent II Year A Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love for ever full, for ever flowing free, for ever shared, for ever whole, a never-ebbing sea. 2 Our outward lips confess the name all other names above; love only knoweth whence it came and comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps to bring the Lord Christ down; in vain we search the lowest deeps, for him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet a present help is he; and faith has still its Olivet, and love its Galilee. *5 The healing of his seamless dress is by our beds of pain; we touch him in life's throng and press, and we are whole again. *6 Through him the first fond prayers are said our lips of childhood frame; the last low whispers of our dead are burdened with his name. 7 Alone, O Love ineffable, thy saving name is given; to turn aside from thee is hell, to walk with thee is heaven.
