O Where Are Kings and Empires Now

But, Lord, your Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2 We mark her goodly battlements And her foundations strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song. 3 For not like kingdoms of the world Your holy Church, O God, Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad, 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.

Vi tro og trøste paa een Gud

Author: Luther; Landstad Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Creed Lyrics: 1 Vi tro og trøste paa ein Gud, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber, Til sine Børn han tog os ud, Vor i Kristus kjære Fader. Han opholder os, og glæder, Giver alle Kost og Klæder, Liv og Sjæl vil han bevare, Værge os for Nød og Fare; Han sørger for os, holder, Vagt, For han har alting i sin Magt. 2 Vi ogsaa tro paa Jesus Krist, Guds enbaarne Søn, vor Herre, Sand Gud med Faderen forvist, Eet med ham i Magt og Ære, Af den Helligaand undfangen, Af en Jomfru ren fremgangen, Pint, korsfæstet, død, begraven, Nedfor opstod tredje Dagen, Op til Gud Faders høire for, Gjenkomme skal til Dom paa Jord. 3 Vi tro og paa den Helligaand, Gud med Faderen og Sønnen, Han er de Banges Trøstermand, Pryder dem med Gaver skjønne, Og forsamler Kristenheden I een Tro, eet Sind herneden; Her as bli'r al Synd tilgivet; Kjødet skal opstaa til Livet; Os efter Døden er bered Et saligt Liv i Evighed.

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Your heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you Still holds the freshness of your grace; Yet long these multitudes to view The sweet compassion of your face. 5 O Master, from the mountainside, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again; 6 Till sons of men shall learn your love, And follow where your feet have trod; Till glorious from your heaven above Shall come the city of our God. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-2 Used With Tune: GERMANY
