Christian Patience

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:19 First Line: Patience! O what a grace divine Lyrics: 1 Patience! O what a grace divine Sent from the God of power and love That leans upon its father's hand, As thro' the wilds of life we rove. 2 By patience we serenely bear The troubles of our mortal state, And wait contented our discharge, Nor think our glory comes too late. 3 Tho's we in full sensation feel The weight, the wounds our God ordains, We smile amid our heaviest woes, And triumph in our sharpest pains. 4 O for this grace to aid us on, And arm with fortitude the breast, 'Till, life's tumultuous voyage o'er, We reach the shores of endless rest. 5 Faith into vision shall resign, Hope shall in full fruition die; And patience in possession end In the bright worlds of bliss on high. Topics: Graces of the Spirit Patience; Christian patience desired

Castillo Fuerte

Author: Martín Lutero; Juan B. Cabrera Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:12-18 First Line: Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios Lyrics: 1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios, defensa y buen escudo; Con su poder nos librará en esta trance agudo. Con furia y con afán acósanos Satán; por armas deja ver astucia y gran poder; cual él no hay en la tierra. 2 Nuestro valor es nada aquí, con él todo es perdido; Mas por nosotros pugnará de Dios el Escogido. Es nuestro Rey Jesús, el que venció en la cruz, Señor y Salvador, y siendo él solo Dios, él triunfa en la batalla. 3 Aunque estén demonios mil prontos a devorarnos, No temeremos, porque Dios sabrá como ampararnos. Que muestre su vigor Satán, y su furor; dañarnos no podrá; pues condenado es ya por la Palabra Santa. 4 Esa palabra del Señor que el mundo no apetece, Por el Espíritu de Dios muy firme permanece. Nos pueden despojar de bienes y hogar, el cuerpo destruir, mas siempre ha de existir de Dios el Reino eterno.
