A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: WSH1972 #274 (1972) Meter: Irregular 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, The Lord of Hosts 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, is standing; The Spirit and the gifts are ours— We answer his commanding. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth is ruling still— His kingdom is forever! Amen.

Who like yourself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 3 I fear no foe, with you at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: WSH1972 #281 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The hand that shaped the rose has wrought The crystal of the snow, Has sent the hoary frost of heaven, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold. Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day does utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of your name.

Author: Ian Ferguson Hymnal: WSH1972 #295 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 "Am I my brother's keeper?" The muttered cry was drowned By Abel's life-blood shouting In silence from the ground.

Christ counted less than order, The man than the machine. The crowd cried, "Crucify him!," Their malice wouldn't budge, So Pilate called for water, And history's his judge. 3 As long as people hunger, As long as people thirst, And ignorance and illness And warfare do their worst, As long as there's injustice In any of God's lands, I am my brother's keeper, I dare not wash my hands.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: WSH1972 #318 (1972) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

It is Jesus, good folk of the village; Christ is born and Mary's calling; Ah! ah! beautiful is the Mother! Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son! 2 It is wrong when the Child is sleeping It is wrong to talk so loud; Silence, all, as you gather around. Lest your noise should waken Jesus. Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers; Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps! 3 Softly to the little stable. Softly for a moment come; Look and see how charming is Jesus, How he is warm, his cheeks are rosy. Hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! hush! see how He smiles in dreams.

Amen.
