Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881; H. Lutteroth, 1802-1892 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Times of Suffering and Persecution; Temps de Souffrance et de Persécution Lyrics: GERMAN - 1 Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, Ein gute Wehr und Waffen. Er hilft uns frei aus aller Not, Die uns jetzt hat betroffen. Der alt böse Feind Mit Ernst er es jetzt meint; Gross Macht und viel List Sein grausam Rüstung ist, Auf Erd ist nicht seinsgleichen. 2 Mit unsrer Macht ist nichts getan, Wir sind gar bald verloren; Es streit’t für uns der rechte Mann, Den Gott selbst hat verkoren. Fragst du nun, wer der ist? Er heisset Jesus Christ, Der Herr Zebaoth, Und ist kein andrer Gott; Das Feld muss er behalten. 3 Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär Und wollt uns gar verschlingen, So fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr, Es soll uns doch gelingen. Der Fürst dieser Welt, Wie sauer er sich stellt, Tut er uns doch nicht; Das macht, er ist gericht’t, Ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen. 4 Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn Und kein Dank dazu haben; Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan Mit seinem Geist und Gaben. Nehmen sie den Leib, Gut, Ehre, Kind und Weib, Lass fahren dahin, Sie habens kein Gewinn, Das Reich muss uns doch bleiben. --- ENGLISH - 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, A trusty shield and weapon; He'll help us clear from all the ill That hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell Hath ris'n with purpose fell; Strong mail of craft and power He weareth in this hour; On earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, Full soon were we down-ridden; But for us fights the proper Man, Whom God Himself hath bidden. Ask ye, who is this same? Christ Jesus is His name, Of Sabaoth the Lord, Sole God to be adored, 'Tis He must win the battle. 3 And were this world all devils o'er, And watching to devour us, We lay it not to heart so sore; Not they can overpower us. And let the prince of ill Look grim as e'er he will, He harms us not a whit; For why? his doom is writ; A word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, One moment will not linger, But, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'Tis written by His finger. And, though they take our life, Goods, honour, children, wife, Yet is their profit small; These things shall vanish all, The city of God remaineth. --- FRENCH - 1 C'est un rempart que notre Dieu Ue invincible armure, Notre délivrance en tout lieu, Notre défense sûre. L'ennemi contre nous Redouble de courroux Vaine colère! Que pourrait l'adversaire? L'Eternel détourne ses coups. 2 Seuls, nous bronchons á chaque pas, Notre force est faiblesse; Mais un héros, dans les combats, Pour nous lutte sans cesse. Quel est ce défenseur? C'est toi, divin Sauveur, Dieu des armées, Tes tribus opprimées Connaissent leur libérateur. 3 Que les démons forgent des fers Pour accabler l'Eglise, Ta Sion brave les enfers, Sur son rocher assise. Constant dans son effort, En vain, avec la mort, Satan conspire: Pour briser son empire, Il suffit d'un mot du Dieu fort. 4 Dis-le, ce mot victorieux, Dans toutes nos détresses; Répand sur nous du haut des cieux Tes divines largesses. Qu'on nous ôte nos biens, Qu'on serre nos liens, Que nous importe! Ta grâce est la plus forte, Et ton royaume est pour les tiens. Used With Tune: [Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott]

Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prayers Of the Church for her Deliverance in Persecution Lyrics: 1 Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly Have told in our attentive Ears, The mighty Wonders, thou hast done In Times more ancient far than theirs: How thou didst plant them by thy Hand, And drove the Heathen from the Land. 2 For not their Courage, nor their Sword, To them this great Possession gave; Nor Strength that from unequal Force, Their fainting Troops could ever save; But thy right Hand, which they implor'd, Thy Presence which they still ador'd. 3 As thee their GOD our Fathers own'd, So thou art now our sov'reign King; Oh therefore, as thou didst to them, To us thy kind Deliv'rance bring; For thro' thy Name, our Foes we quell, Whene'er against us they rebel. 4 I'll neither trust my Bow, nor Sword, When I in Battles fierce engage; But thee, who hast our Foes subdu'd, And put to shame their spiteful Rage: In GOD, from whom the Conquest came, We will rejoice and bless his Name. 5 But thou hast cast us off, and now Most shamefully we're forc'd to yield; For Thou no more vouchsaf'st to lead, Our vanquish'd Armies to the Field; To ev'ry Foe we turn in Fight, And with our Spoil they feast their Spite. 6 To Slaughter doom'd, we fall like Sheep Into their butch'ring Hands; Or what's more wretched yet, survive Dispers'd throughout the Heathen Lands; Thy People thou valu'd low, That their Disgrace may greater grow. 7 Reproach'd by all the Neighbours round, The Heathen's By-word we are grown, Whose Scorn of us, is both in Speech, And in provoking Gestures shewn: My Face in conscious Shame I hide, Whilst they blaspheme in haughty Pride. 8 On us this Heap of Woes is fall'n, All this Disgrace we have endur'd, Yet have not, LORD, renounc'd thy Name, Or Faith to thee, out GOD abjur'd; But in thy Paths have kept with Care; Tho' brought to Danger and Despair. 9 Could we, forgetting thy great Name, Oh LORD, on other GODs rely, And not the Searcher of all Hearts, The treach'rous Crime at once descry? For thee we daily Wrongs sustain, And are like Sheep doom'd to be slain. 10 Awake, arise, let seeming Sleep No longer thee, our GOD, detain; Nor let us, LORD, who sue for Aid, Forever sue to thee in vain; But hasten thou to our Relief, And let thy Presence banish Grief. 11 Oh wherefore hidest thou thy Face, From our afflicted ruin'd State? Whose Souls and Bodies sink to Earth, Beneath our Grief's oppressive WeightL Up, LORD, and us in Safety take! Oh help us for thy Mercie's Sake! Scripture: Psalm 44 Used With Tune: [Our Fathers, Lord, repeatedly]
