Vor Gud han er saa fast en Borg
Author: Luther; Landstad Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: All Saints Day High Mass Lyrics: 1 Vor Gud han er saa fast en Borg,
Han er vort Skjold og Bærge,
Han hjælper os af Nød og Sorg,
Og veed os vel at berge.
Vor gamle Fiende haard
Til Strid imod os staar,
Stor Magt og arge List
Han bruger mod os vist,
Paa Jord er ei hans Lige.
2 Vor egen Magt er intet værd,
Vi vare snart nedhugne,
Men En gaar frem i denne Ferd,
For ham maa al ting bugne.
Vil du hans Navn saa vidst?
Han heder Jesus Krist,
Den Høvding for Guds Hær,
I ham kun Frelse er,
Han Marken skal beholde.
3 Om Verden fuld af Djævle var,
Der vilde os opsluge,
Vi frygte ei, vi med os har
Den Mand, som den kan true;
Er Verdens Fryste vred,
Og vil os støde ned,
Han ingen Ting formaar,
Fordi alt dømt han gaar,
Et Guds ord kan ham binde.
4 Det Ord de skal vel lade staa,
Og Utak dertil have,
Thi Gud han vil selv med os gaa
Alt med sin Aand og Gave;
Og tage de vort Liv,
Gods, Ære, Børn og Viv,
Lad fare hen, lad gaa!
De kan ei mere faa,
Guds Rige vi beholde.

The Church triumphant in thy love
Joy and triumph everlasting
Author: Adam of St Victor; Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: All Saints November 1st Lyrics: 1 Joy and triumph everlasting
Hath the heavenly Church on high;
For that pure immortal gladness
All our feast-days mourn and sigh:
Yet in death’s dark desert wild
Doth the mother aid her child,
Guards celestial thence attend us,
Stand in combat to defend us.
2 Here the world’s perpetual warfare
Holds from heaven the soul apart;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.
O how happy that estate
Where delight doth not abate;
For that home the spirit yearneth,
Where none languisheth nor mourneth.
3 There the body hath no torment,
There the mind is free from care,
There is every voice rejoicing,
Every heart is loving there.
Angels in that city dwell;
Them their King delighteth well:
Still they joy and weary never,
More and more desiring ever.
4 There the seers and fathers holy,
There the prophets glorified,
All their doubts and darkness ended,
In the Light of light abide.
There the Saints, whose memories old
We in faithful hymns uphold,
Have forgot their bitter story
In the joy of Jesu’s glory.
5 There from lowliness exalted
Dwelleth Mary, Queen of grace,
Ever with her presence pleading
'Gainst the sin of Adam's race.
To that glory of the blest,
By their prayers and faith confest,
Us, us too, when death hath freed us,
Christ of his good mercy lead us. Used With Tune: GENEVAN PSALM 42 Text Sources: Latin Sequence

brighter than the heart can fancy,
mansion of the highest King;

which of thee the prophets sing!

alleluia is outpoured;
for unending, for unbroken
is the feast-day of the Lord;
all is pure and all is holy
that within thy walls is stored.

dims the brightness of the air;
endless noon-day, glorious noon-day,
from the Sun of suns is there;
there no night brings rest from labour,
for unknown are toil and care.
4 O how glorious and resplendent,
fragile body, shalt thou be,
when endued with so much beauty,
full of health and strong and free,
full of vigour, full of pleasure
that shall last eternally.
5 Now with gladness, now with courage,
bear the burden on thee laid,
that hereafter these thy labours
may with endless gifts be paid;
and in everlasting glory
thou with brightness be arrayed.

laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,

Our God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,241 hymnals Topics: All Saints and All Souls Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure:
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you art God
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone:
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all of us away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
remain our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-6 Used With Tune: ST ANNE
