A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: Reformation Day 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 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:
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 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 for ever. Scripture: Psalm 46:1 Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply;
the flame shall not hurt you; I only design
your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age all my people shall prove
my sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
and when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.

Lord of all, we bow before you;

angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord."

join your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.

Holy Spirit, Three we name you;
while in essence only One,
undivided God we claim you,
and adoring bend the knee,
while we sing this mystery. Scripture: Isaiah 6:3 Used With Tune: GROSSER GOTT, WIR LOBEN DICH Text Sources: Based on Te Deum, ca. 4th cent.

Wär Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit
Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Wär' Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit,
so soll Israel sagen,
wär' Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit,
wir hätten müßt verzagen,
die so ein armes Häuflein sind,
veracht't von so viel Menschen-Kind,
die an uns setzen alle.
2 Auf uns ist so zornig ihr Sinn,
wo Gott hätt' das zugeben,
verschlungen hätten sie uns hin
nit ganzem Leib und Leben:
wir wär'n als die ein' Flut ersäuft,
und über die groß Wasser läuft,
und mit Gewallt verschwemmet.
3 Gott Lob und Dank, der nicht zugab,
daß ihr Schlund uns möcht' fangen;
wie ein Vogel des Strick's kommt ab,
ist unser Seel' entgangen:
Strick ist entzwei, und wir sind frei,
des Herren Name steh uns bei,
des Gottes Himmels und Erden.
Scripture: Psalm 124
Wär Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit
