Hymn of Promise

Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Hymnal: HOP2015 #1 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: In the bulb there is a flower Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 2 There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; there’s a dawn in every darkness bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 3 In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity; In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HOP2015 #3 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. 2 Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be now our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1805-1890 Hymnal: HOP2015 #5 (2015) 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 does 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 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours thro' 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. Topics: Praise to God Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
