Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai Fredrik Severin Grundtvig, 1783-1872; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #645 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 16:13-18 First Line: Built on the rock the Church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church shall stand
Even when steeples are falling.
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land;
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling.
Yet He who dwells in heav'n above
Chooses to live with us in love,
Making our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Built for His own habitation.
He through baptismal grace us owns
Heirs of His wondrous salvation.
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Here stands the font before our eyes,
Telling how God has received us.
Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
And what His Supper here gives us.
Here sound the Scriptures that proclaim
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
And evermore, our Redeemer.
5 Grant, then, O God, Your will be done,
That, when the church bells are ringing,
Many in saving faith may come
Where Christ His message is bringing:
"I know MY own; My own know Me.
You, not the world, My face shall see.
My peace I leave with you. Amen."

A safe stronghold our God is still
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881 Hymnal: Common Praise #366 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Scripture: Matthew 16:15-18 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. Topics: Advent I Year B; Lent II Year C; Proper 4 Year A Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

O God, Our Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #277 (1990) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Scripture: Matthew 16:24-25 Lyrics: 1 O God, our faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing,
Grant us a faithful life,
And give us, Lord, within,
Commitment free from strife,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 God, grant us strength to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whatever You command,
Our calling here fulfilling;
And do it when we ought,
With zeal and joyfulness;
And bless the work we’ve wrought,
For You must give success.
3 If dangers gather round,
Still keep us calm and fearless;
Help us to bear the cross
When life is bleek and cheerless,
To overcome our foes
With words and actions kind;
O God, Your will disclose,
Your counsel let us find.

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #523 (2018) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
true fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing:
give me a healthy frame,
and may I have within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
with ready heart and willing,
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling--
to do it when I ought,
with all my strength; and bless
whatever I have wrought,
for you must give success.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me, lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling:
but when, within my place,
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace,
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
oh, keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems dark and cheerless;
help me, as you have taught,
to love both great and small,
and, by your Spirit's might,
to live at peace with all. Topics: Christian Life; Courage; God Faithfulness of; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Supplications For Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: DARMSTADT
