A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from ev'ry need
That hath 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.
Ask ye, Who is this?
Jesus Christ it is,
Of sabaoth Lord,
And there's none 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 these all be gone,
Our vict'ry has been won;
The Kingdom ours remaineth. Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG Text Sources: Tr. composite
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Hark! the song of jubilee
Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fullness of the sea,
When it breaks upon the shore!
2 See, Jehovah's banner's furled;
Sheathed His sword: He speaks,--'tis done!
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of His Son.
3 He shall reign from pole to pole
With supreme unbounded sway;
He shall reign, when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away.
4 Hallelujah! for the Lord
God omnipotent shall reign;
Hallelujah!--let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
5 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies.
6 Then the end--beneath His rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall:
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is All in All.
Hark! the song of jubilee

Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,995 hymnals Topics: Perseverance; Perseverance; Courage, Christian; Duty; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Toil, daily Christian ; Soldiers of Christ; Temptation; Saints Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
Or sailed through blood seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
5 Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
now fulfil your church’s story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn your Christ, assail your ways;
fears and doubts too long have bound us;
free our hearts to work and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure your children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,
rich in goods and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss your kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christ-like graces,
pledged to set all captives free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
that we fail not them nor thee. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

O Brothers, Lift your Voices
Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 O brothers, lift your voices,
Triumphant songs to raise;
Till heaven on high rejoices,
And earth is filled with praise:
Ten thousand hearts are bounding
With holy hopes and free;
The gospel trump is sounding,
The trump of jubilee.
2 O Christian brothers, glorious
Shall be the conflict's close;
The cross hath been victorious,
And shall be o'er its foes:
Faith is our battle token;
Our Leader all controls;
Our trophies, fetters broken;
Our captives, ransomed souls.
3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus:
To Thee all praise be due,
Whose blood-bought mercy frees us,
Has freed our brethren too.
Not unto us: in glory
The angels catch the strain,
And cast their crowns before Thee
Exultingly again.
4 Great God of our salvation,
Thy presence we adore;
Praise, glory, adoration
Be Thine forevermore;
Still on in conflict pressing
On Thee Thy people call,
Thee King of Kings confessing,
Thee crowning Lord of all.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 27:6 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN
