O help us, Lord! each hour of need
Author: Henry Hart Milman Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O help us, Lord! each hour of need
Thy heavenly succor give:
Help us in thought, and word, and deed,
Each hour on earth we live.
2 O help us when our spirits bleed,
With contrite anguish sore;
And when our hearts are cold and dead,
O help us, Lord, the more.
3 O help us, through the prayer of faith,
More firmly to believe;
For still, the more the servant hath,
The more shall he receive.
4 O help us, Jesus, from on high;
We know no help but Thee!
O help us so to live and die
As Thine in heaven to be!
Amen.

O help us, Lord! each hour of need
A mighty Fortress is our God
Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 683 hymnals 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 bitter foe
Means us 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 for eve.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
All watching to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They cannot overpower us.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will;
He can harm us none;
He's judge, the deed is done,
One little word o'erthrows 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,
Take they then our life,
Goods, fame, child, and wife,
When their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won:
The Kingdom ours remaineth.
Amen. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG Text Sources: Tr. Composite, 1866
A mighty Fortress is our God
Behold the Lamb of God!
Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.6.4.8.8.4 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Lamb of God!
O Thou for sinners slain
Let it not be in vain
That Thou hast died.
Thee for my Saviour let me take,
My only refuge let me make
Thy piercèd side.
2 Behold the Lamb of God!
Into the sacred flood
Of Thy most precious Blood
My soul I cast;
Wash me and make me clean within,
And keep me pure from every sin,
Till all be past.
3 Behold the Lamb of God!
All hail, incarnate Word!
Thou everlasting Lord,
Saviour most blest!
Fill us with love that never faints,
Grant us, with all Thy blessèd saints,
Eternal rest.
4 Behold the Lamb of God!
Worthy is He alone
To sit upon the throne
Of God above,
One with the Ancient of all days,
One with the Comforter in praise,
All Light, all Love!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Used With Tune: ECCE AGNUS

O living Bread from heaven
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Johann Rist Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O living Bread from heaven,
How hast Thou fed Thy guest!
The gifts Thou now hast given
Have filled my heart with rest.
O wondrous Food of blessing!
O Cup that heals our woes!
My heart, this gift possessing,
In thankful song o’erflows.
2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me
Within Thy holiest place,
And there Thyself hast fed me
With treasures of Thy grace:
And Thou hast freely given,
What earth could never buy,
The Bread of Life from heaven,
That now I shall not die!
3 Thou givest all I wanted,
The Food can death destroy;
And Thou has freely granted
The Cup of endless joy.
Ah, Lord, I do not merit
The favor Thou hast shown,
And all my soul and spirit
Bow down before Thy throne!
4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened
With heavenly Food, while here
My course on earth is lengthened,
I serve with holy fear;
And when Thou call’st my spirit
To leave this world below,
I enter, through Thy merit,
Where joys unmingled flow.
Amen.

O living Bread from heaven
O Thou, from Whom all goodness flows
Author: Thomas Haweis Appears in 418 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from Whom all goodness flows,
I raise my soul to Thee;
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Good Lord, remember me!
2 When on my aching, burdened heart
My sins lie heavily,
Thy pardon speak, new peace impart:
Good Lord, remember me!
3 When trials sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee;
O let my strength be as my day:
Good Lord, remember me!
4 When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree;
Be this the prayer of my last breath:
Good Lord, remember me!
5 And when before Thy throne I stand
And lift my soul to Thee,
Then, with the saints at Thy right hand,
Good Lord, remember me!
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: REDHEAD, No. 66

Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Luise Henriette v. Brandenburg (?) Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
And my Saviour, ever liveth;
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope it giveth,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives!
I, too, unto life shall waken:
He will have me where He is;
Shall my courage then be shaken?
Shall I fear? Or can the Head
Rise and leave His members dead?
3 Nay, too closely am I bound
Unto Him by hope for ever;
Faith's strong hand the rock hath found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never;
Not the ban of death can part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 Saviour, draw away our heart
Now from pleasures base and hollow,
Let us there with Thee have part,
Here on earth Thy footsteps follow.
Fix our hearts beyond the skies,
Whither we ourselves would rise.
Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Resurrection Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT
Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,217 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help, I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: STUTTGART
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Thy way, not mine, O Lord
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 402 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be!
Lead me by Thine own hand;
Choose out the path for me.
2 Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest.
3 I dare not choose my lot;
I would not if I might:
Choose Thou for me, my God;
So shall I walk aright.
4 Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose Thou my cares for me,
My poverty or wealth.
5 Not mine, not mine the choice
In things or great or small
Be Thou my Guide, my Strength,
My wisdom and my all.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: QUAM DILECTA
Thy way, not mine, O Lord
This is the day of light
Author: John Ellerton Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day of light:
Let there be light to-day;
O Dayspring, rise upon our night,
And chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest:
Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast
Shed Thou Thy fresh'ning dew.
3 This is the day of peace:
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
4 This is the first of days;
Send forth Thy quickening breath,
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death!
Amen.

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
Author: Edward Osler Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way,
And speak Thy holy Word;
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful strength afford.
2 Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Saviour's Blood;
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower;
To them, a messenger of power,
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to Thee alone,
Then hear the welcome word, "Well done!"
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master's joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise, and bliss, and love.
Amen. Topics: The Church The Ministry Used With Tune: PURLEIGH Text Sources: Based on Charles Wesley, 1749
