Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word.

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Word of God Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide; Nor let Thy word, that heavenly light, For us be ever veiled in night. 2 While sin and death around we see, O grant that we may constant be; And pure retain, till life is spent, Thy precious word and sacrament. 3 Dear Savior, help, Thy Church uphold; For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold; Indue Tyy word with power and grace And spread its truth in every place. 4 Yes, leave us but Thy word, we pray; The fatal wiles of Satan stay; O smile upon Thy Church; give grace, Give courage, patience, love, and peace. 5 O God! how sin's dread works abound, Throughout the earth no rest is found; And wide has falsehood's spirit spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 And ever is there something new Devised to change Thy doctrine true; Lord Jesus! as Thou still dost reign, Those vain, presumptuous minds restrain; 7 And as the cause and glory, Lord, Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford Us help and strength and constancy, And keep us ever true to Thee. 8 Thy word shall fortify us hence, It is Thy Church's sure defense; O let us in its power confide, That we may seek no other guide. 9 Here on Thy Word in faith we lean There Thou shalt be forever seen; And when our journey endeth here, Receive us, Lord, in glory there.

The Law of God Is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915, alt. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Word of God 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 turn from sin before 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 But those who scornfully disdain God's Law shall then 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 19:7-8 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR
