A Mighty Fortress is Our God

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.5.6.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us in our ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guile and cruel 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 this may be? Jesus Christ, 'tis He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Tho' devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpow'r us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fiercely as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed: 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, what they will, Life, goods, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won;-- The kingdom ours remaineth.

Abide With Me! Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Appears in 1,686 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, it's glories pass away: Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou Who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me! 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes: Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Work, for the Night is coming

Author: Anna L. Walker Meter: 7.6.7.5 D Appears in 1,180 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling; Work 'mid springing flow'rs; Work, when the day grows brighter, Work in the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man's work is done. 2 Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon. Give ev'ry flying minute Something to keep in store: Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3 Work, for the night is coming, Under the sunset skies; While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies. Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work, while the night is dark'ning, When man's work is o'er. Topics: Work - Service Used With Tune: WORK

Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, thro' grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Topics: Church Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Lord With Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Author: Francis S. Key Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals First Line: Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pard'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wand'rer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly bro't thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless. Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise.
