A Mighty Fortress is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Rev. Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: PsH1934 #431 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 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 has 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.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: Rev. John Fawcett Hymnal: PsH1934 #433 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we are called to part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way, While each in expectation lives, And waits to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

Not for the lip of praise alone, Nor e’en the praising heart, I ask, but for a life made up Of praise in every part. 2 Praise in the common words I speak, Life’s common looks and tones, In intercourse at hearth and board With my beloved ones, Enduring wrong, reproach, or loss, With sweet and steadfast will, Loving and blessing those who hate, Returning good for ill. 3 So shall each fear, each fret, each care, Be turned into a song, And every winding of the way The echo shall prolong; So shall no part of day or night From sacredness be free, But all my life, in every step, Be fellowship with Thee.

O For a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: PsH1934 #437 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His Word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 5 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

In the Hour of Trial

Author: Rev. James Montgomery Hymnal: PsH1934 #439 (1934) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 Should Thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe, Or should pain attend me On my path below, Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee. 4 When in dust and ashes To the grave I sink, When heaven's glory flashes O'er the shelving brink, On Thy truth relying, Through that mortal strife, Lord, receive me, dying, To eternal life.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: PsH1934 #440 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought and hoped and known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue; And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, 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. 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. 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 thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
