Peace and good tidings to earth.” Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. 2 Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that are past, How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore; He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson; Joel A. Erickson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,209 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love. 2 Here I’ll raise my Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I’m come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand’ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my feeble heart to Thee. “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,” Long I cried to be made pure; “Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Work in me Thy double cure.” 4 Hallelujah! I have found it, The full cleansing I had craved, And to all the world I’ll sound it: They too may be wholly saved. I am sealed by Thy sweet Spirit, Prone no longer now to roam; And Thy voice, I’ll humbly hear it, For Thy presence is my home.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: M. L. Meter: 15.15.12.12.7 Appears in 680 hymnals First Line: A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing 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 though 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 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.
