A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God; He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us. We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done; One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife, Though these all be gone, Our vict'ry has been won; The Kingdom ours remaineth.

A mighty stronghold is our God

Author: Joel Swartz; Martin Luther Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty stronghold is our God, A sure defence and weapon; He helps us free from every need Which hath us now o'er taken. The old angry foe Now means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight,-- On earth is not His equal. 2 In our own strength can naught be done-- Our loss were soon effected; There fights for us the Proper One, By God himself elected. Ask you who frees us? It is Christ Jesus-- The Lord Sabaoth, There is no other God; He'll hold the field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All waiting to devour us; We'll still succeed, so God hath willed,-- They cannot overpower us: The Prince of this world To hell shall be hurled; He seeks to alarm, But shall do us no harm; The smallest word can fell Him. 4 The Word they still must let remain, And for that have no merit; For He is with us on the plain, By His good gifts and Spirit: Destroy they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife? Let all pass amain, They still no conquest gain, For ours is still the kingdom. Amen. Topics: Battle Hymn Luther's; God our shepherd; Missions; Reformation Festival Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

A Mighty Fortress Is Our Lord

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann; Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our Lord, A sure defense to save us! He frees us with His trusty sword When trouble would enslave us. The foe of all mankind Great evil has designed; His cruel weapons still Are force and cunning skill; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours we cannot win, Soon were our loss effected; But with us in the battle's din Is One whom God elected. Ask ye, Who may this be? The Lord of hosts is He; Christ Jesus is His name, True God from heav'n He came In ev'ry strife to conquer. 3 Tho' devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpow'r us. The prince of hell may still Scowl fiercely as he will, No harm to us is done, He's judged, the fight is won; A single word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word of God shall stand secure; They cannot work their pleasure. The Spirit, with His gifts so pure, We have in fullest measure. What tho' they take this life, Goods, honor, child and wife, Their hatred still is vain, They have no lasting gain; We still possess the kingdom.

God is our stronghold and our stay

Author: Elizabeth Wordsworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: God is our stronghold and our stay, Our hope in tribulation; What though the mountains rock and sway To earth's long-hid foundation? What though the ocean roar, Fast gaining on the shore, The hurtling storm rage loud Beneath the thunder cloud? Our hearts are all untroubled. The might of water sinks to rest; How calm yon river glideth, God's city mirrored on its breast, The house where he abideth! Hushed be all strife and din! His presence dwells within, She standeth unremoved, By God himself beloved, Who helpeth her right early. In vain the heathen shout for war, In vain our foes assemble; The voice of God is heard from far, And earth itself shall tremble. He breaks the spear and bow, He lays the warrior low, The chariot burns with flame; Our trust is in his Name, And Jacob's God our refuge! Be still, the Lord is God alone, Let all the world adore him, And bending low before his throne, For pitying grace implore him. His kingdom is within, O'er hearts made pure from sin, Where love that casts out fear Exults to feel him near, The Lord of hosts our refuge.

We bless the Triune God of Might, Our Sovereign and our Savior, Who puts our enemies to flight, And guards us with His favor! Our song goes up to Him, Above the seraphim, Where awestruck angels gaze At Him, Ancient of Days, On high He reigns, exalted. 2. Majestic Father, ever supreme, Alone in light and glory, At Your command the heavens gleam And sing creation’s story. The wind and waves obey When Your Word bids them stay; All nature shows Your face Revealed in every place, To every heart and mind of man. 3. Jesus, the Christ, Anointed One, Firstborn of all creation, In human flesh, yet God the Son, The Captain of Salvation! My Righteousness You are! ’Tis written in the scars That beautify Your face, Proclaiming holy grace. In You all truth and love abide. 4. Great Spirit of the living Lord, Our Comforter and faithful Guide— You bring to us God’s out-breathed Word, Suffusing it with increate light. Convict us of our sin! Renew our hearts within! Restore salvation’s joy! Our hearts and minds employ In lives that flame with God-endued fire! 5. Robed in pure light that knew no dawn, Three Persons, yet One Essence, Avenging sin with righteous sword drawn, Yet mercy fills Your presence! Your wrath is great, and just; But in Your grace we trust! Your lovingkindness sure Will hold our souls secure, ’Til we behold Your face at last! Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

Be Strong in God

Author: Susan Peterson Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Be strong in God and in His power Lyrics: 1. Be strong in God and in His power; Put on His armor every day. Thus you can take your stand each hour; The devil’s schemes won’t lead you astray. The battle’s like a flood, Though not ’gainst flesh and blood; But ’gainst the spiritual realm, With Satan at the helm; You face the powers of darkness. 2. Take God’s full armor—your life surround, So when the day of evil appears, You’ll then be able to stand your ground, And after all, to stand without fear. Stand firm, then, in the faith, The belt of truth in place; Breastplate of righteousness, Feet shod with readiness That comes from the true Gospel of peace. 3. Take, over all, the shield of faith, To quench the flaming arrows outpoured. Salvation’s helmet wear over your face, And take the Word, the Spirit’s sword. Pray in the Spirit’s power, All kinds of prayers each hour. Be always on alert, And pray for all the Church. Through God you’ll win the battle! Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Kto w nim ufa ten bezpieczny, On w nieszczęściu zas-ɵną. Dawny, srogi wróg pragnie, by nas zmógł, w podstęp się zbroi, zgubić nas się stroi; w świecie nie ma równego. 2 Nasza siła nic nie zdoła, w klęskach pr≤edko giniemy; lecz do boju wódz nas woła, z nim pewnie zwyciężymy! Pytasz, kto jest ten? Chrystus Boży Syn, nasz Pan nad pany, Bóg nasz uwielbiany; zwycięstwo Go nie minie! 3 Choćby świat był diabłów pełny, pragnących nas pochłonąć, odpór damy im rzetelny, strach nas nie ma ozionąć, Książe świata wzrok groźny rzuca w bok; próżno się sroży, skazał go sąd Boży! Ten go słówkiem rozbroi. 4 Słowa niech nie naruszają, a zrzeką się wdzięczności! Bóg jest z nami! Niech to znają, On da męstwa, śmiałości, chcąli życie wziąć, żonę, dzieci jąć, cześć, majętności; niech biorą w swej złości; nam królestwo zostanie!
