Almighty Father, Heaven and Earth

Author: E. A. Dayrnan, 1807-90 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Almighty Father, heav'n and earth Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father, heav'n and earth With lavish wealth before Thee bow; Those treasures owe to Thee their birth, Creator, Ruler, Giver, Thou. 2 The wealth of earth, of sky, of sea, The gold, the silver, sparkling gem, The waving corn, the bending tree, Are Thine; to us Thou lendest them. 3 To Thee, as early morning's dew, Our praises, alms, and prayers shall rise As rose, when joyous earth was new, Faith's patriarchal sacrifice. 4 We, Lord, would lay, at Thy behest The costliest off'rings on Thy shrine; But when we give, and give our best, We give Thee only what is Thine. 5 O Father, whence all blessings come; O Son, Dispenser of God's store; O Spirit, bear our off'rings home: Lord, make them Thine forevermore.

The Kingdom Satan Founded

Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703; C. Døving, 1807-1937 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The kingdom Satan founded Shall now be overthrown, For Christ its fall hath sounded, And through His pow'r alone Shall Satan meet his doom, And be for aye confounded; He from the souls he wounded Shall flee in fear and gloom. 2 Though he would bind forever Our lips with bands of hell, Yet Christ, sent to deliver, Can loose those bands full well, That e'en the dumb may raise His voice with joy and pleasure And sing in sweetest measure To God his thanks and praise. 3 O Jesus! my distresses To Thee are known full well, Thou seest how Satan presses My soul's weak citadel; His aim is to control My members and my senses, With sin and with offenses He steals into my soul. 4 Anon my tongue he bindeth That God it shall not praise; Anon my eyes he blindeth To hide the light of grace; Now he my ears doth close To hinder me from hearing The Gospel's sound so cheering And soothing in my woes. 5 To God I raise my crying Before the mercy-seat, And on His Word relying I grace of Him entreat, That He for Jesus' sake Would cleanse my soul and spirit Through Jesus' blood and merit, And Satan's power break. 6 God, let not love of sinning Thy fear drive from my breast, Lest Satan, triumph winning, Be of my heart possessed; O let Thy chas'tning rod Each day give me direction, To seek Thy sure protection And tell Thy grace abroad. 7 My heart must Thou have solely, My Savior and my God! Come, Jesus, take it wholly, And make it Thine abode! Mold it to Thy control, That I, Thy Word receiving, May find, in Thee believing, Salvation for my soul.

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Who created earth and heaven, The Father, who to us in love Hath the right of children given. He both soul and body feedeth, All we need He doth provide us. He through snares and perils leadeth, Watching that no harm betide us. He careth for us day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 We all believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne, and might, Source of ev'ry grace and blessing. Born of Mary, virgin mother, By the power of the Spirit, Made true man, our elder Brother, That the lost might life inherit, Was crucified for sinful men And raised by God to life again. 3 We all confess the Holy Ghost, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth, Who the Church, His own creation, Keeps in unity of spirit; Here forgiveness and salvation Daily come through Jesus' merit. All flesh shall rise, and we shall be In bliss with God eternally. Topics: Creed Used With Tune: WIR GLAUBEN ALL Text Sources: Tr. composite

From God Shall Naught Divide Me

Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From God shall naught divide me, For He is true for aye, And on my path will guide me, Who else should often stray; His ever bounteous hand By night and day is heedful, And gives me what is needful, Wheree'er I go or stand. 2 When man's help and affection Shall unavailing prove, God grants me His protection And shows His pow'r and love. He helps in ev'ry need, From sin and shame redeems me, From chains and bonds reclaims me, Yea, e'en from death I'm freed. 3 If sorrow comes, I'll bear it In patience and in trust; My Lord Himself doth share it, For He is true and just, And loves to bless us still; My life and soul--I owe them To Him who doth bestow them, Let Him do as He will. 4 Whate'er shall be His pleasure Is surely best for me; He gave His dearest treasure, That our weak hearts might see How good His will toward us; And in His Son He gave us Whate'er could bless and save us; Praise Him who loveth thus! 5 O praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; O blest the hour whenever To Him our thoughts can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is but wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. 6 For when the world is passing With all its pomp and pride, All we were here amassing No longer may abide; But in our earthly bed, Where softly we are sleeping, God hath us in His keeping, To wake us from the dead. 7 Our soul shall never perish, But in yon paradise The joys of heav'n shall cherish; Our body shall arise Pure, holy, new-born, free From ev'ry sin and evil; The tempting of the devil We then no more shall see. 8 Then, though on earth I suffer Much trial, well I know I merit ways still rougher; Yet 'tis to heav'n I go; For Christ I know and love, To Him I now am hasting, And gladness everlasting With Him my heart shall prove. 9 For such His will who made us; The Father seeks our good; The Son hath grace to aid us, And save us by His blood; His Spirit rules our ways, By faith in us abiding, To heav'n our footsteps guiding; To Him be thanks and praise.
