Author: Martin Luther ; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 680 hymnals Topics: Living Christ Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper here amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. 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 one on our side, The one 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 God's word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through God who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still, Whose kingdom is forever. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG Text Sources: Geistliche Lieder, 1529

Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Living Christ Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign, Within whose foursquare walls shall come No night, nor need, nor pain, And where the tears are wiped from eyes That shall not weep again! 2 O shame to us who rest content While lust and greed for gain. In street and shop and tenement Wring gold from human pain, And bitter lips in blind despair Cry “Christ has died in vain!” 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build The city that hath stood Too long a dream, whose laws are love, Whose ways are servant-hood, And where the sun that shines becomes God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God That city rises fair. Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, And bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there. Scripture: Revelation 21 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG
