How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord
Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #439 (1926) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Scripture: Luke 12:32 Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed;
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adore,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I cannot desert to His foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!"

Stand Up! - Stand Up for Jesus
Author: George Duffield Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #451 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Luke 12:8 Lyrics: 1 Stand up!- stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner.
It must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall He lead;
Till ev'ry foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up! - stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet-call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day!
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up! - stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor,
Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up! - stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long:
This day, the noise of battle;
The next, the victor's song.
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Christian Warfare Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Glory to God #30 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 12:49-53 Lyrics: 1 O God, in a mysterious way
great wonders you perform.
You plant your footsteps in the sea
and ride upon the storm.

of never-failing skill,
you treasure up your bright designs
and work your sovereign will.
3 O fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Our unbelief is sure to err
and scan your work in vain.
You are your own interpreter,
and you will make it plain.

he lights the evening star;
the wind and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. [Refrain]

Ye restless wanderers after rest;

In Christ a hearty welcome find.

Nor suffer Him to die in vain.
