Thou who art Three in unity

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #131 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 THOU who art Three in unity, True God from all eternity, The sun is fading from our sight, Shine Thou on us with heavenly light. 2 We praise Thee with the dawning day, To Thee at even we also pray; With our poor song we worship Thee Now, ever, and eternally. 3 Let God the Father be adored, And God the Son, the only Lord, And God the Holy Spirit be Adored throughout eternity!

Lord God, we all to Thee give praise

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #133 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 LORD God, we all to Thee give praise, Thankofferings meet to Thee we raise, That Thou didst angel hosts create, Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They glow with light and heavenly grace, And constantly behold Thy face; Obedience to Thy voice they yield, And are with godly wisdom filled. 3 They never rest nor sleep, as we; Their whole delight is but to be Forever near Thee, gracious Lord, Thy little flock to watch and guard. 4 The foul old Dragon and dread Foe With envy, hate, and wrath doth glow; It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he has blighted earth of old, He keeps e'en now his deathly hold, Chafes madly to annihilate all virtue, honor, Church, and State. 6 Therefore, no halt nor rest he knows; A roaring lion round he goes, Or lies in wait with baneful snare to drive the Christians to despair. 7 But watchful is the angel-band, That follows Christ on every hand, And guards Thy holy Christendom From harm that might from Satan come. 8 From Daniel's case this may be seen, When he sat in the lions' den, And likewise angels rescued Lot, That the ungodly harmed him not. 9 When the three Hebrews were at last Into the fiery furnace cast, No power had fiercest flames to harm Against the rescuing angel's arm. 10 And thus our God, still at this day, From harm and many an evil way Keeps us by His dear angel-guard, Placed o'er us as our watch and ward. 11 For this, now and eternally, Our praise shall rise, O God, to Thee, Whom all the angel-hosts adore With joy now and forevermore. 12 We also pray Thee to defend By them unto the latter end, Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, That holds in honor Thy blessed Word.

Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #134 (1893) Lyrics: 1 STARS of the morning, so gloriously bright, Filled with celestial resplendence and light; These that, where night never followeth day, Raise the "Thrice holy, Lord!" ever and aye! 2 These are Thy ministers; these dost Thou own, Lord God of Sabaoth! nearest Thy throne. These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones, man to defend. 3 When by Thy word earth was first poised in space; When the far planets first sped on their race; When was completed the six days' employ, Then "all the sons of God shouted for joy." 4 Still let them succor us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts! battling for right: Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

A mighty Fortress is our God

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #135 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from every 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 in 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 overpower 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, And not a thank 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: Let these all be gone, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth. Topics: Reformation Languages: English

Had God not come, may Israel say

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #136 (1893) Lyrics: 1 HAD God not come, may Israel say, Had God not come to aid us, Our enemies before this day Would surely have dismayed us; For we are but a handful small Held in contempt and scorn by all, All men rise up against us. 2 Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would surely have consumed us, And in the deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us; Like men o'er whom dark waters roll, The streams had gone e'en o'er our soul, And mightily o'erwhelmed us. 3 Blest be the Lord, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping; Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue sky escaping; The snare is broken--we are free! Our help is ever, Lord, in Thee, The God of earth and heaven. Topics: Reformation Languages: English

If God were not upon our side

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #137 (1893) Lyrics: 1 IF God were not upon our side When round us foes are raging, Were not Himself our Help and Guide When bitter war they're waging, Were He not Israel's mighty Shield, To whom their utmost craft must yield, We surely must have perished. 2 But now no human wit or might His chosen people frighteth, God sitteth in the highest height, And He their counsels blighteth; When craftiest snares and nets they lay, god goes to work another way, And makes a path before us. 3 Against our souls they rage and mock, Exciting great commotion: As billows meet with angry shock Out on the stormy ocean, So they our lives with fury seek; But God hath pity on the weak, And Him they have forgotten. 4 They call us heretics, and aye Their Christian name are flaunting; They seek to spill our blood, while they their fear of God are vaunting. Ah, God! that precious name of Thine O'er many a wicked deed must shine, But Thou wilt once avenge it. 5 They open wide their ravenous jaws, And threaten to devour us, But thanks to God, who rules our cause, They shall not overpower us; Their snares He yet will bring to naught, And overthrow what they have taught; God is too mighty for them. 6 How richly He consoleth those Whom no one else befriendeth! The door of grace doth never close; Sense cannot comprehend it, How this may be, and deems all lost, When through this very cross a host Of champions God is raising. 7 Our foes, O God, are in Thy hand, Thou knowest their endeavor; But only give us strength to stand, And let us waver never, Though reason strives with faith, and still She fears to wholly trust Thy will, And sees not Thy salvation. 8 But heaven and earth, O Lord, are Thine, For Thou alone hast made them; Thy light let on Thy people shine, And in their sorrows aid them; Kindle our hearts to love and faith That shall be steadfast e'en to death, Howe'er the world may murmur!

Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #138 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 LORD, keep us in Thy Word and work, Restrain the murderous Pope and Turk, Who fain would tear from off Thy throne Christ Jesus, Thy beloved Son. 2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known For Thou art Lord of lords alone; Shield Thy poor Christendom, that we May evermore sing praise to Thee. 3 Thou Comforter of priceless worth, Give one mind to Thy flock on earth, Stand by us in our final strife, And lead us out of death to life. 4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God, And smite them with an iron rod, And let them fall into the snare Which for Thy Christians they prepare. 5 So that at last they may perceive That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live, And dost deliver mightily All those who put their trust in Thee.

Behold the sure Foundation-stone

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #139 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 BEHOLD the sure Foundation-stone Which God in Zion lays, To build our heavenly hopes upon, And His eternal praise. 2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear, Let saints adore the name; They trust their whole salvation here, Nor shall they suffer shame. 3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest, Reject it with disdain; Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest And envy rage in vain 4 What though the gates of hell withstood; Yet must this building rise: ’Tis Thine own work, Almighty God, And wondrous in our eyes.

Christ, Thou art the sure Foundation

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #140 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, Thou art the sure Foundation, Thou the Head and Corner-stone; Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one; Thou Thy Zion’s help forever, And her Confidence alone. 2 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of hosts, to-day! With Thy wonted loving-kindness Hear Thy servants as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within these walls alway. 3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee forever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 4 Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and one in glory, While eternal ages run.
