All nature's works His praise declare
Author: Rev. Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Organ; Dedication Services; Dedication Services Of an Organ; Installations Minister of Music Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare,
To whom they all belong;
There is a voice in every star,
In every breeze a song.
Sweet music fills the world abroad
With strains of love and power;
The stormy sea sings praise to God,
The thunder and the shower.
2 To God the tribes of ocean cry,
And birds upon the wing;
To God the powers that dwell on high
Their tuneful tribute bring.
Like them, let man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate
Our voices and our skill;
We bid the pealing organ wait
To speak alone Thy will.
Lord, while the music round us floats
May earth-born passions die;
O grant its rich and swelling notes
May lift our souls on high!
Amen. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee Lord of might.
2 Lord, we know Thy love rejoices
O'er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine;
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure didst design.
3 Here, great God, today we offer
Of Thine own to Thee;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and voices,
In our choicest melody.
4 Honor, glory, might, and merit,
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity:
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven render Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 50:23 Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Meter: Irregular Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral; Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral; Acts of the Church Installation; Civil Year Memorial Day; Civil Year Independence Day; Other Observances Reformation Day; Other Observances World Peace 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
Does 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.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he,
The Lord of Hosts 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 has 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, is standing;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours—
We answer his commanding.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth is ruling still—
His kingdom is forever!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Who has our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The strife at last is ended;
God his good will displays to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again;
O thank him for his goodness.
2 We praise, we worship you, we trust,
And give you thanks forever,
O Father, that your rule is just,
And wise, and changes never;
Your boundless power o'er all things reigns,
You do whate'er your will ordains;
'Tis well you are our ruler!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Begotten of the Father,
O Savior, who our peace restored,
And who lost sheep did gather,
O Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need and hear our cry;
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious gift,
O Comforter unfailing,
Do you our troubled souls uplift,
Against the foe prevailing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
Do you in faith sustain us!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH' Text Sources: Based on Gloria in Excelsis

Jehovah is his name:
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
Beside the living stream.
He brings my wandering spirit back,
When I forsake his ways;
And leads me, for his mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death
Your presence is my stay;
One word of your supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Your hand, in sight of all my foes,
Does still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Your oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may your house be my abode,
And all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come;
No more a stranger, or a guest,
But like a child at home.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

a trusty shield and weapon;
he helps us free from ev'ry need
that has us now o'ertaken.
The old evil foe
now means deadly woe;
deep guile and great 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.
You ask, "Who is this?"
Jesus Christ it is,
the almighty LORD,
and there's no other God;
he holds the field forever.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
all eager to devour us,
we tremble not, we fear no ill:
they shall not overpow'r us.
This world's prince may still
scowl fierce as he will,
he can harm us none.
He's judged; the deed is done;
one little word can fell 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.
And take they our life,
goods, fame, child, and wife,
though all may be gone,
our victory is won;
the kingdom's ours forever! Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG Text Sources: Tr. composite
