God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
Author: Martin Luther; Michael A. Perry Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #468 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Topics: Enemies & Persecution; Enemies & Persecution Lyrics: 1 God is our fortress and our rock,
our mighty help in danger;
he shields us from the battle's shock
and thwarts the devil's anger;
for still the prince of night
prolongs evil's fight;
he uses all skill
to work his wicked will;
no earthly force is like him.
2 Our hope is fixed on Christ alone,
the Man of God's own choosing;
without him nothing can be won
and fighting must be losing;
so let the powers accursed
come try do their worst;
Christ Jesus shall ride
to battle at our side,
and he shall have the victory.
3 The word of God will not be slow
while demon hordes surround us,
though evil strike its cruelest blow
and death and hell confound us:
for though we meet distress,
lose all we possess;
those planning our ill
may ravage, wreck, or kill;
God's kingdom is immortal!
Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG (RHYTHMIC)
God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #469 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Enemies & Persecution; Enemies & Persecution 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 power 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 powers–
no thanks to them– abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through 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!
Scripture: Romans 8:35-39 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG (ISORHYTHMIC)

Psalm 7
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.14 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution victory over, and deliverance from it First Line: My trust is in my heav'nly Friend Lyrics:
My trust is in my heav'nly Friend,
My hope in thee, my God;
Rise, and my helpless life defend
From those that seek my blood.
With insolence and fury they
My soul in pieces tear,
As hungry lions rend the prey,
When no deliverer's near.
If I had e'er provoked them first,
Or once abused my foe,
Then let him tread my life to dust,
And lay mine honor low.
If there be malice found in me,
I know thy piercing eyes;
I should not dare appeal to thee,
Nor ask my God to rise.
Arise, my God, lift up thy hand,
Their pride and power control;
Awake to judgment, and command
Deliverance for my soul.
[Let sinners, and their wicked rage,
Be humbled to the dust;
Shall not the God of truth engage
To vindicate the just?
He knows the heart, he tries the reins,
He will defend th' upright
His sharpest arrows he ordains
Against the sons of spite.
For me their malice digged a pit,
But there themselves are cast;
My God makes all their mischief light
On their own heads at last.]
That cruel, persecuting race
Must feel his dreadful sword:
Awake, my soul, and praise the grace
And justice of the Lord.

Why Standest Thou Afar, O Lord
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #16 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord,
Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour?
The wicked persecute the poor
In haughty pride and reckless power.
2 Let their devices work their fall,
For in their shame is all their pride;
And while they seek unrighteous gain,
The Lord of justice is defied.
3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride,
There is no God who will repay;
He has no fear of God or man
Because God's judgments long delay.
4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom,
On fraud and wickedness intent,
With craft he lurks and waits to catch
The helpless and the innocent.
5 A lion crouching for his prey,
He waits the poor to overthrow;
He thinks that God remembers not,
Or hides His face and will not know.
6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand,
O God, protect the poor and meek;
Why should the proud Thy justice doubt,
And words of bold defiance speak?
7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite,
The sin and sorrow Thou dost see;
The helpless and the fatherless
Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee.
8 Break Thou the power of wicked men
And let their works no longer stand;
The Lord is King for evermore,
Who drove the nations from His land.
9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer,
The fainting heart Thou wilt restore,
The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain,
That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: BROOKFIELD
Why Standest Thou Afar, O Lord
