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 Year Written: 1529 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!

God, Who madest earth and heaven

Author: Heinrich Albert; John Christian Jacobi; Arthur Tozer Russell; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #446 (1917) Year Written: 1643 Lyrics: 1 God, Who madest earth and heaven,-- Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon, and starry host, Those Whose mighty hand sustains Earth and all that she contains: 2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render, Who this night hast guarded me, My omnipotent Defender, Who from ill doth set me free; Free from danger, anguish, woe, Free from the infernal foe. 3 Let the night of my transgression With night's darkness pass away: Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself to-day. In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word; Lord, Thy constant preservation To thy erring child afford. No where but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 5 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind; Mighty God! to Thy direction Wholly may I be resigned. Lord, my Shield, my Light divine, O accept, and own me Thine! Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Morning Languages: English Tune Title: GOTT DES HIMMELS

God who madest earth and heaven

Author: H. Albert Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #160 (1863) Year Written: 1644 Lyrics: God who madest earth and heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon and starry host, All things wake at Thy command, Held in being by Thy hand. God, I thank Thee! In Thy keeping 'Safely have I slumber'd here; Thou hast guarded me while sleeping From all danger, pain, and fear; And the cunning of my foe Hath not wrought my overthrow. Let the night of sin that shrouded All my life, with this depart; Shine on me with beams unclouded, Jesu! In Thy loving heart Is my help and hope alone, For the evil I have done, Help me as the morn is breaking, In the spirit to arise, So from careless sloth awaking, That when o'er the aged skies Shall the morn of Doom appear, I may see it free from fear. Lead me, and forsake me never, Guide my wand'ring by Thy Word; As Thou hast been, be Thou ever My defence, my refuge, Lord. Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful Guardian be! O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand; All the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command; Thou my boast, my strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine. Thus afresh with each new morning Save me from the power of sin, Hourly let me feel Thy warning Ruling, prompting me within, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.
