The mouth of fools doth God confess

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mouth of fools doth God confess, But while their lips draw nigh Him Their heart is full of wickedness, And all their deeds deny Him. Corrupt are they, and ev'ry one Abominable deeds hath done; There is not one well-doer. 2 The Lord looked from His high tower On all mankind below Him To see if any owned His power, Who truly sought to know Him; Who all their understanding bent To search His holy Word, intent To do His will in earnest. 3 But none there was who walked with God, For all aside had slidden, Delusive paths of folly trod, And followed lusts forbidden; Not one there was who practiced good, Though many deemed, in haughty mood, Their deeds to God were pleasing. 4 How long, by folly blindly led, Will ye oppress the needy And eat my people up like bread? So fierce are ye and greedy! In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on Him in trouble call, But be their own providers. 5 Therefore their heart is never still, A falling leaf dismays them, God is with him who doth His will, Who trusts Him and obeys Him; But ye the poor man's hope despise, And mock him when he humbly cries That God is his sure comfort. 6 Who shall to Israel’s outcast race From Zion bring salvation? God will Himself at length show grace, And loose the captive nation; That will He do by Christ their King; Let Jacob then be glad and sing And Israel be joyful.

En mi memoria escrito está El mucho bien que Dios nos da, Mostrando sus piedades. 3 Ayúdanos, ¡oh fiel Señor!, Cual nos has ayudado. Las culpas borra,¡oh Redentor! Di: "Todo es perdonado." En vida y muerte miro a Ti; Condúceme, cual hasta aquí, Señor, con tu cayado. Amén.

Thou holy Church, God's city, shine

Author: M. B. Landstad Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou holy Church, God's city, shine, High on His mountain founded? Sing praise to Christ, thy king divine, Who thee with walls surrounded; Thy children He doth bless and sends His peace to thee, thy strife He ends: Now praise thy God, O Zion! 2 He sendeth out His holy word To every land and nation, It swiftly runs, 'tis from the Lord His message of salvation; The hearts that were like ice and snow, It melts so that in streams they flow With tears of true repentance. 3 Who now but will himself deny, And yield to God submission, His word receive, on Christ rely, Obtains a full remission; He is converted and made wise, And goest from hence to Paradise: Grant us this grace, O Savior!
