I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art
Author: Elizabeth L. Smith Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #366 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 I greet thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
my only trust and Saviour of my heart,
who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray thee from our hearts all cares to take.
2 Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in ev'ry place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.
3 Thou art the Life, by which alone we live,
and all our substance and our strength receive;
sustain us by thy faith and by thy power,
and give us strength in ev'ry trying hour.
4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
no harshness hast thou, and no bitterness:
O grant to us the grace we find in thee,
that we may dwell in perfect unity.
5 Our hope is in no other save in thee;
our faith is built upon thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace and make us calm and sure,
that in thy strength we evermore endure.

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Worshipbook #379 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed you for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
You may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal Love,
Well supply your sons and daughters,
And all fears of want remove:
Who can faint, while such a river
Flows their thirst to satisfy?
Grace, which, like the Lord the giver,
Never fails; he does supply.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which he gives them when they pray.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 46:13 Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Christian, dost thou see them
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #483 (1961) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them
On the holy ground,
How the pow'rs of darkness
Rage thy steps around?
Christian, up and smite them,
Counting gain but loss,
In the strength that cometh
By the holy cross.
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble;
Never be downcast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them,
How they speak thee fair?
"Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?"
Christian, answer boldly,
"While I breathe I pray!"
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.
4 Hear the words of Jesus:
"O my servant true:
Thou art very weary, -
I was weary too;
But that toil shall make thee
Some day all mine own,
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near my throne."
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 6:11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW OF CRETE
Christian, dost thou see them
Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice
Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #526 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Various Occasions Reformation Day; Various Occassions Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice,
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the victory won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o’er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Deeper and deeper still I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My good works so imperfect were,
They had no power to aid me;
My will God's judgments could not bear,
Yea, prone to evil made me;
Grief drove me to despair, and I
Had nothing left me but to die;
To hell I fast was sinking.
4 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul’s salvation.
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
5 He spoke to His beloved Son:
’Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of my crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever.
6 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother;
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the Devil captive.
7 He sweetly said, Hold fast by me,
I am thy rock and castle;
Thy ransom I myself will be,
For thee I strive and wrestle;
For I am with thee, I am thine,
And evermore thou shalt be mine,
The foe shall not divide us.
8 The Foe shall shed My precious blood,
Me of my life bereaving;
All this I suffer for thy good,
Be steadfast and believing:
Life shall from death the victory win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin,
So art thou blest forever.
9 Now to My Father I depart,
From earth to heaven ascending,
Thence heavenly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending:
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow me,
And to the truth conduct thee.
10 What I have done and taught, teach thou,
My ways forsake thou never;
So shall my kingdom flourish now,
And God be praised forever:
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The heavenly treasure should destroy;
This counsel I bequeath thee. Tune Title: [Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice]

O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: The Worshipbook #532 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 O Word of God Incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky,
We praise you for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light is lifted
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chest so precious,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floats e'er like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shines out like a beacon
Above the darkening world.
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides to Christ who saves.
4 O make your Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Your true light, as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see you face to face.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23-25 Tune Title: MUNICH
O Word of God Incarnate
Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Worshipbook #540 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, your bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Stands our God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own.
Amen. Scripture: Joshua 24:14-15 Tune Title: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)
Once to Every Man and Nation
The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Worshipbook #589 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is his, is his by right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS
