A Little Child the Saviour Came
Author: William Robertson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came,
the mighty God was still his name,
and angels worshipped as he lay
the helpless infant of a day.
2 He who, a little child, began
the life divine to show God's plan
proclaims from heaven the message free,
"Let little children come to me."
3 We bring them now, and in your name
the saving love of Christ proclaim.
Through living water, grace endow;
baptize them with your Spirit now.
4 O God, who by an infant's tongue
can hear your perfect glory sung,
may these with all the heavenly throng,
praise you: Creator, Spirit, Son. Topics: The Church at Worship Holy Baptism; Angels; Baptism; Children Praising; Glory; Heaven(s)/Paradise; Jesus Christ Grace; Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ Saviour; Trinity; Water Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
A Little Child the Saviour Came
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 674 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing:
for still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
power and malice great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth he has no equal.
2 Did we in our 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
the 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 Christ, who with us sideth:
let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
God's kingdom is forever.

He was appointed in 1857, Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge (U.S.), and in 1872, Professor of German Literature at Harvard. Dr. Hedge is one of the editors of the Christian Examiner, and the author of The Prose Writers of Germany, and other works. In 1853 he edited, with Dr. F. D. Huntington, the Unitarian Hymns for the Church of Christ, Boston Crosby, Nichols & Co. To that collection and the supplement (1853) he contributed the following translations from the German:—
1. A mighty fortress is our God. (Ein feste Burg.)
2. Christ hath arisen! joy to, &c. (Goethe's Faust.)
3. The sun is still for ever sounding. (Goethe's Faust.)
There is also in the Unitarian Hymn [& Tune] Book for The Church & Home, Boston, 1868, a translation from the Latin.
4. Holy Spirit, Fire divine. (“Veni Sancte Spiritus.")
Dr. Hedge's original hymns, given in the Hymns for the Church, 1853, are:—
5. Beneath Thine hammer, Lord, I lie. Resignation.
6. Sovereign and transforming grace. Ordination. Written for the Ordination of H. D. Barlow at Lynn, Mass., Dec. 9, 1829. It is given in several collections.
7. 'Twas in the East, the mystic East. Christmas.
8. 'Twas the day when God's anointed. Good Friday. Written originally for a Confirmation at Bangor, Maine, held on Good Friday, 1843. The hymn "It is finished, Man of Sorrows! From Thy cross, &c," in a few collections, including Martineau's Hymns, &c, 1873, is composed of st. iv.-vi. of this hymn. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
