Give thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah

Author: Anon. Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Cast Out Fear Lyrics: 1 Give thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah, For he is good, O praise his Name! Let Israel say: The Lord be praised, His mercy ever is the same. Let Aaron's house now praise Jehovah; The Lord is good, O praise his Name; Let all that fear the Lord extol him, His mercy ever is the same. 2 In a large place the Lord hath set me, In my distress he heard my cry; I will not fear; the Lord is with me, What can man do, when God is nigh? The Lord is chief among my helpers; And I shall see my foes o'erthrown: Far better than in man or princes, My trust I place in God alone. 3 I shall not die, but live, declaring The works of God, who tried me sore, And chastened me; but in his mercy Not unto death hath giv'n me o'er. The gates of righteousness set open, The gate of God! I'll enter in To praise thee, Lord, who pray'r hast answered, And savedst me from all my sin. 4 The stone—O Lord, it is thy doing— The stone, the builders did despise, Is made the headstone of the corner, And it is marv'lous in our eyes. This is the day, of days most glorious, The Lord hath made; we'll joy and sing: Send now prosperity, we pray thee; And, O our God, salvation bring! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 118:1-9 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Cast Out Fear Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear, with thy righteousness on, My person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God With me can have nothing to do; My Saviour's obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, The arm of his strength will complete; His promise is Yea and Amen, And never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, Nor all things below or above, Can make him his purpose forgo, Or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands Eternity will not erase; Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, As sure as the earnest is giv'n; More happy, but not more secure, The glorified spirits in heav'n. Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:38-39 Used With Tune: LLANGRISTIOLUS

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 708 hymnals Topics: Cast Out Fear 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 pow'r 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 pow'rs, 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: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

A jest and byword are they grown; God is with us, we are his own; our vict'ry cannot fail. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our pray'r; great Captain, now your arm make bare, fight for us once again; so shall your saints and martyrs raise a mighty chorus to your praise, world without end.
