Yes, we'll gather at the river
Author: Anon. Appears in 744 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:4 First Line: Shall we gather at the river Lyrics: 1 Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Chorus:
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
2 On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day. [Chorus]
3 Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we ev'ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown. [Chorus]
4 Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace. [Chorus]

give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God the All-righteous One! Earth hath defied thee,
Yyt to eternity standeth thy word;
falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 So shall thy people, with thankful devotion,
praise him who saved them from peril and sword,
singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,
"Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord."

Praise for national peace
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:9 First Line: Great ruler of the earth and skies Lyrics: 1 Great ruler of the earth and skies,
A word of thine almighty breath
Can sink the world, or bid it rise:
Thy smile is life, thy frown is death.
2 When angry nations rush to arms,
And rage, and noise, and tumult reign,
And war resounds its dire alarms,
And slaughter dyes the hostile plains;
3 Thy sovereign eye looks calmly down,
And marks their course, and bounds their pow'r;
Thy word the angry nations own,
And noise and war are heard no more.
4 Then peace returns with balmy wing,
(Sweet peace! with her what blessings fled!)
Glad plenty laughs, the vallies sing,
Reviving commerce lifts her head.
5 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord,
All move subservent to thy will;
And peace and war await thy word,
And thy sublime decrees fulfil.
6 To thee we pay our grateful songs,
Thy kind protection still implore?
O may our hearts, and lives, and tongues,
Confess thy goodness and adore. Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Thanksgiving; National prayer and praise; Praise for peace of the nation; Thanksgiving days

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty Shield and Weapon;
He helps us free from ev'ry need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old evil Foe
Now means deadly woe:
Deep guile and great 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 is this?--
Jesus Christ it is,
Of Sabaoth, Lord,
And there's none other God,
He holds the field forever.
3 Tho' devils all the world should fill,
All eager to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They cannot overpow'r us.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none,
He's judged; the deed is done;
One little word can fell him.
4 The Word they still shall let remain,
Nor any thank have for it;,
He's by our side upon the plain
With His good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life,
Goods, fame, child, and wife,
Let these all be gone,
They yet have nothing won:
The Kingdom ours remaineth.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Reformation Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG Text Sources: Tr. composite

Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott
Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott,
ein' gute Wehr und Waffen;
Er hilft uns frey aus aller Noth,
die uns jetzt hat betroffen.
Der alt' böse Feind,
mit Ernst er's jetzt meint;
groß Macht und viel List
sein' grausam' Rüstung ist;
auf Erd' ist nicht sein's gleichen.
2 Mit unser Macht ist nichts gethan,
wir sind gar bald verloren;
Es streit't für uns der rechte Mann,
den Gott hat selbst erkoren.
Fragst du wer der ist?
Er heißt Jesus Christ,
der Herr Zebaoth,
und ist kein ander Gott,
das Feld muß Er behalten.
3 Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär
und wollt' uns gar verschlingen,
so fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr,
es soll uns doch gelingen.
Der Fürst dieser Welt,
wie sau'r er sich stellt,
thut er uns doch nicht,
das macht, er ist gericht't,
ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen.
4 Das Wort sie sollen lassen stan,
und kein Dank dazu haben,
Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan,
mit seinem Geist und Gaben.
Nehmen sie uns den Leib,
Gut, Ehr', Kind und Weib,
laß fahren dahin,
sie haben's kein Gewinn,
das Reich muß uns doch bleiben.
5 Pries, Ehr' und Lob
dem höchsten Gott,
dem Vater aller Gnaden:
der uns aus Lieb gegeben hat
sein'n Sohn für unsern Schaden:
dem Tröster heil'-gem Geist,
von Sünd' Er uns reißt,
zum Reich Er uns heist,
den Weg zum Himmel weis't,
der helf uns fröhlich, Amen. Topics: Gesänge aufs Fest der gesegneten Reformation Lutheri; Reformation Day

Submission under bereaving Providences
Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:10 First Line: Peace, 'tis the Lord Jehovah's Hand Lyrics: 1 Peace, 'tis the Lord Jehovah's Hand
That blast's our Joys in Death;
Changes the Visage once so dear
And gathers back the Breath.
2 'Tis he, the Potentate supreme
Of all the Worlds above,
Whose steady Counsels wisely rule,
Nor from their Purpose move.
3 'Tis he, whose Justice might demand
Our Souls a Sacrifice;
Yet scatters with unwearied Hand,
A thousand rich Supplies.
4 Our Covenant GOD and Father he,
In CHRIST our bleeding LORD;
Whose Grace can heal the bursting Heart
With one reviving Word.
5 Fair Garlands of immortal Bliss
He weaves for every Brow,
And shall rebellious Passions rise,
When he corrects us now;
6 Silent we own Jehovah's Name,
We kiss the scourging Hand;
And yield our Comforts and our Life
To thy Supreme Command. Topics: Resignation to Providence
