And all Thy love from day to day declare!
Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned?
Does not Thine arm encircle us around?

Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove;
But now encouraged by Thy voice, we come,
Returning sinners, to a Father's home. Amen.

For human needs and longings grew
This house of prayer this home of rest
Here may thy saints be often blest.

Make this th' abode of righteousness,
And let these doors a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to thee.

Onward, Christian Soldiers
A Mighty Fortress
Author: Luther Appears in 676 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: A mighty fortress is our God 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 his woe;
His craft and pow'r are great,
And arm'd 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.
Doth ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he!
Lord Sabaoth is his name,
From age to age the same;
And he must win the battle.
3 And tho' this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath will'd
His truth to triumph thro' us.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

Great winds Thy clarions, the lightnings Thy sword;
Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reigned,

Thy precepts holy, and slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace, O most merciful Lord.

Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Prosper the right, O most merciful Lord.

Does Jesus Care?
Author: Rev. Frank E. Graeff Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Solos First Line: Does Jesus care when my heart is pain'd Refrain First Line: O yes, He cares, I know He cares Lyrics: 1 Does Jesus care when my heart is pain'd
Too deeply for mirth or song;
As the burdens press,
And the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long?
Chorus:
O yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary,
The long nights dreary,
I know my Saviour cares.
2 Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades
Into deep night shades,
Does He care enough to be near? [Chorus]
3 Does Jesus care when I've tried and fail'd
To resist some temptation strong?
When in my deep grief
I find no relief,
Tho' my tears flow all the night long? [Chorus]
4 Does Jesus care when I've said "good-bye"
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches
'Till it nearly breaks
Is this aught to Him? does He see? [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Does Jesus care when my heart is pain'd]
