When Rome had shrouded earth in night

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: TheChurch Year Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 When Rome had shrouded earth in night, God said again, Let there be light! And Luther with the Gospel came To spread the truth in Jesus' name. 2 When Rome the saints of God oppressed, And burdened souls could find no rest, Through Luther God deliv'rance sent By His pure Word and Sacrament. 3 Though hosts against us stand arrayed, Christ bids us still, Be not afraid; Though all its powers the truth assail, The gates of hell shall not prevail. 4 To-day with joyful hearts we sing The guardian care of Christ our King, Who through His chosen instrument To us hath this salvation sent. 5 O Lord, whose mercies still endure, Preserve to us Thy Gospel pure; Let it alone within us reign, That Thine the glory may remain.

I will extol you every day and evermore your praise proclaim. You, LORD, are greatly to be praised; your greatness is beyond all thought. From age to age your people tell the mighty wonders you have wrought. 2 On your most glorious majesty and on your deeds my mind will dwell. Your deeds will fill the world with awe, and all your greatness I will tell. Your matchless goodness and your grace your people will commemorate; and all your truth and righteousness our joyful song will celebrate. 3 The LORD our God is rich in grace, tender to us, compassionate. His anger is most slow to rise; his love and kindness are most great. The LORD is good in all his ways; his creatures know his constant care. To all his works his love extends; all creatures in his mercies share. 4 All you have made will praise you, LORD; your mighty acts your saints will show, till all the peoples on the earth the splendor of your kingdom know. Eternal is your kingdom, LORD, forever strong and ever sure; while generations rise and die, your glorious reign will still endure. 5 The LORD is faithful to his word; he will extend his gracious hand. The LORD upholds the faltering feet and makes the weak securely stand. The eyes of all look up to you for food and drink, which you supply; your open hand is bountiful, and every need you satisfy. 6 The LORD is just in all his ways; in all his works the LORD is kind, and all who call on him in truth in him a present helper find. He will fulfill the heart's desire of those who fear him and obey. The LORD will surely hear their cry, will save them when to him they pray. 7 The LORD in grace preserves his saints, redeeming those who love his name. The wicked he will overthrow and put his enemies to shame. My mouth will sing the glorious praise of God, whom earth and heaven adore. Let every creature praise his name forever and forevermore!
