Thy Sacred Word, O Lord, of Old

Author: Olavus Petri, (1497-1552) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy sacred Word, O Lord, of old Was veiled about and darkened, And in its stead were legends told, To which the people harkened; thy Word, for which the faithful yearned, The worldlings kept in hiding, And into human fables turned Thy truth, the all-abiding. 2 Now thanks and praise be to our Lord, Who boundless grace bestoweth, And daily through the sacred Word His precious gifts forthshoweth. His Word is come to light again, A trusty lamp to guide us; No strange and divers teachings then Bewilder and divide us. Amen. Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals; Word of God Used With Tune: O GUD!

Thy statutes to Thy Church declare, Still watch o'er its salvation: Each member make Thy special care And aid him in his station. 3 Jesus, the Church's Head and Lord, Who as a shepherd leadest, And with Thy sacrament and Word Thy people richly feedest: For mercies in such countless throng We bow our hearts before Thee, And hope we shall in heaven ere long More worthily adore Thee.

Who Trusts in God a Strong Abode

Author: Joachim Magdeburg et al. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who trusts in God a strong abode In heav'n and earth possesses; Who looks in love to Christ above, No fear his heart oppresses; In Thee alone, dear Lord, we own Sweet hope and consolation; Our shield from foes, our balm for woes, Our great and sure salvation. 2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path, And worldly scorn assail us, While Thou art near we will not fear; Thy strength shall never fail us. Thy rod and staff shall keep us safe, And guide our steps forever; Nor shades of death, nor hell beneath, Our souls from Thee shall sever. 3 In all the strife of mortal life Our feet shall stand securely; Temptation's hour shall lose its power, For Thou shalt guard us surely. O God, renew, with heavenly dew, Our body, soul, and spirit, Until we stand at Thy right hand, Through Jesus' saving merit. Amen.
