Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, “Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure.” 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above. Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove. Used With Tune: ALMA (CONSOLATION)

O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more. 3 A place for Thy people, Thou, Lord, didst prepare, Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care; Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, Spread over the mountains from river to sea. 4 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows, Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes; O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine, Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine. 5 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down, Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown; The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue, The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do. 6 When Thou shalt revive us Thy name we shall praise, And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways; O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

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. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, the almighty LORD, and there's no 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 all may be gone, our victory is won; the kingdom's ours forever!
