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.

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!"

All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition:
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee;
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Perish, every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known,

Oh, while thou dost smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends disown me,
Show thy fact, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me;
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest!
Oh, tis not in grief to harm me,
While thy love is left to me;
Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with thee.
4 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service, pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.

I have stayed my heart on thee!

All must work for good to me. Topics: Abba, Father; Ashamed of Jesus; Church Ordinances of; Church Uniting with; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Consecration Of Self; Covenant Christian; Cross of Christ Taking; Cross of Christ Glorying in Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; F. H. Hedge Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #179 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.7 Scripture: Matthew 10:28 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 forever.

A bulwark never failing;
Our helper frees us from the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe,
Forsworn to work us woe,
With guile and dreadful might
Is armed to wage the fight:
On earth there is no equal.
2 If we in our own strength confide,
Our striving turns to losing;
the righteous one fights by our side,
The one of God’s own choosing.
You ask who this may be;
Christ Jesus, it is he,
The Lord of hosts by name.
No other God we claim!
None else can win the battle.
3 Through all the world with devils fill
And threaten to devour us,
We tremble not, we trust God's will:
They cannot overpow'r us.
Though Satan rant and rage,
In fiercest war engage,
This tyrant's doomed to fail;
God's judgment must prevail!
One little word shall triumph.
4 God's Word shall stand above the pow'rs,
Shall end all their thanksgiving.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
For God with us is living.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
Though all of these be gone,
They yet have nothing won.
The kingdom's ours forever!

1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios,
defensa y buen escudo.
Con su poder nos librará
en todo trance agudo.
Con furia y con afán
acósanos Satán;
por armas deja ver
astucia y gran poder:
cual él no hay en la tierra.
2 Nuestro valor es nada aquí;
con él todo es perdido.
Mas por nosotros luchará
de Dios el escogido.
Es nuestro Rey, Jesús,
el que venció en la cruz,
Señor y Salvador,
y siendo el solo Dios,
él triunfa en la batalla.
3 Y si demonios mil están
prontos a devorarnos,
no temeremos, porque Dios
sabrá cómo ampararnos.
¡Que muestre su vigor
Satán, y su furor!
Dañarnos no podrá,
pues condenado es ya
por la palabra santa.
4 Esa palabra del Señor,
que el mundo no apetece,
por el Espíritu de Dios
muy firme permanece.
Nos pueden despojar
de bienes, nombre, hogar,
el cuerpo destruir,
mas siempre ha de existir
de Dios el reino eterno. Topics: Dios Poder de; God Power of; Dios Reinado de; God Reign of; Faith; Fe; Kingdom of God; Reino de Dios Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #603 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Matthew 10 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend.

turn not from his griefs away;
learn from Jesus Christ to pray.

view the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn from him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark that miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished!” hear him cry;
learn from Jesus Christ to die.

where they laid his breathless clay:
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?

our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]
