A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #298 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from ev'ry need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old evil foe
Now means deadly woe;
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight;
On earth is not his equal.
2 With might of ours can naught be done,
Soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the valiant One,
Whom God himself elected.
Ask ye, Who is this?
Jesus Christ it is,
Of sabaoth Lord,
And there's none other God;
He holds the field forever.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
All eager to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They shall not overpow'r us.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none,
He's judged; the deed is done;
One little word can fell him.
4 The Word they still shall let remain
Nor any thanks have for it;
He's by our side upon the plain
With his good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life,
Goods, fame, child, and wife,
Though these all be gone,
Our vict'ry has been won;
The Kingdom ours remaineth. Topics: Burial; Church Triumphant; Communion of Saints; Reformation Day; The Church Militant; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #302 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper He, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and pow'r are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing.
You 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 has 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 pow'rs
no thanks to them abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
thro' 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. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: F. H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #309 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1. A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2. Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
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 tho' 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 pow'rs--
No thanks to them--abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thro' 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. Topics: The Christian Life Security Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

Our Lord and God, Oh, Bless This Day
Author: Johan N. Brun; George T. Rygh; Carl Döving Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #337 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Lord and God, oh, bless this day
And hear us, we implore Thee;
None of Thy children turn away
Who now appear before Thee.
We come before Thy face
And pray: Let Thy rich grace
Descend from heav'n above
In all Thy wondrous love
And keep us by Thy Spirit.
2 Oh, bless Thy Word to all the young;
Let them, Thy truth possessing,
Bear witness true with heart and tongue,
Their faith and ours confessing.
From mother's arms Thy grace
With love did them embrace;
Baptized into Thy name,
As Thine Thou didst them claim.
O Lord, as Thine now own them!
3 When they their vows today renew,
Accept them with Thy favor;
And when they promise to be true,
May they forget it never!
But they are weak and frail
When Satan's hosts assail;
Oh, arm them with Thy might
And grant that in the fight
They unto death be faithful!
4 And when they leave their childhood home,
When Satan comes alluring,
May their baptismal grace become
A refuge reassuring!
Blest he who then can say:
"God's cov'nant stands for aye."
He ne'er shall be undone
Who trusts in God alone--
God is his mighty Father!
Amen. Topics: Confirmation Scripture: Isaiah 54:10 Languages: English Tune Title: REUTER
