The Law of God is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #150 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Refuge Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise and sets his will before our eyes, shows us the way of righteousness, and dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts the knowledge of our sinful hearts that we may see our lost estate and seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found and would in works of love abound it shows what deeds are his delight and should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain and wilfully in sin remain, its terror in their ear resounds and keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall its holiness condemns us all; it dooms us for our sin to die and has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, who from the curse has set us free, and humbly worship at his throne, saved by his grace through faith alone. Scripture: Psalm 19:8 Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR

A mighty fortress is our God

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his Name, From age to age the same, And he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thru Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.

Spirit of faith, descend, and show The virtue of His Name; The grace which all may find, The saving power, impart; And testify to all mankind, And speak in every heart. 4 Inspire the living faith, Which whosoe'er receives, The witnessin himself he hath, And consciously believes; The faith that conquers all, And doth the mountain move, And saves whoe'er on Jesus call, And perfects them in love.
