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 thro' 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: Psalm 18:2 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

A mighty Fortress is our God

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #76 (1903) Topics: Reformation and Mission Reformation Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us in our every need That has us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guide and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Jesus Christ, 'tis He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field for ever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'er throws him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit, Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth,

Be not dismayed

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #77 (1903) Topics: Reformation and Mission Reformation First Line: Be not dismayed, thou little flock Lyrics: 1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock, Although the foe's fierce battle shock, Loud on all sides, assail thee, Though o'er Thy fall they laugh secure, Their triumph cannot long endure, Let not thy courage fail thee. 2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call, And to His hand commit thine all; Fear thou no ill impending; His Gideon shall arise for thee, God's Word and people manfully, In God's own time defending. 3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might; Against themselves the godless fight, Themselves, not us, distressing; Shame and contempt their lot shall be; God is with us, with Him are we; To us belongs His blessing.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #78 (1903) Topics: Reformation and Mission Reformation Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose Word can not be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

The church's one foundation

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #79 (1903) Topics: Reformation and Mission Reformation First Line: The Church's one foundation Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word; From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride, With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth. Her charter of salvation One Lord, one Faith, one Birth, One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy Food, And to one Hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil, and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits for consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest.
