God the Father, be our Stay

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #271 (1918) Lyrics: 1 God the Father, be our Stay, When hell's dread powers assail us; Cleanse us from our sins, we pray, Nor in our last hour fail us. Keep us from the Evil One: Firm in the faith abiding, In Christ our Savior hiding, And heartily confiding. Let us put God's armor on: With all true Christians running Our heavenly race, and shunning The Devil's wiles and cunning. Amen, Amen, this be done, So sing we Hallelujah! 2 Jesus Christ, be Thou our Stay, When hell's dread powers assail us; Cleanse us from our sins, we pray, Nor in our last hour fail us. Keep us from the Evil One: Firm in the faith abiding, In Christ our Savior hiding, And heartily confiding. Let us put God's armor on: With all true Christians running Our heavenly race, and shunning The Devil's wiles and cunning. Amen, Amen, this be done, So sing we Hallelujah! 3 Holy Ghost, be Thou our Stay, When hell's dread powers assail us; Cleanse us from our sins, we pray, Nor in our last hour fail us. Keep us from the Evil One: Firm in the faith abiding, In Christ our Savior hiding, And heartily confiding. Let us put God's armor on: With all true Christians running Our heavenly race, and shunning The Devil's wiles and cunning. Amen, Amen, this be done, So sing we Hallelujah!

A mighty fortress is our God

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #273 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from every 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 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower 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. Topics: Reformation Languages: English

Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #274 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work, Restrain the murderous Pope and Turk, Who fain would tear from off Thy throne Christ Jesus, Thy beloved Son. 2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known, For Thou art Lord of lords alone; Shield Thy poor Christendom, that we May evermore sing praise to Thee. 3 Thou Comforter of priceless worth, Give one mind to Thy flock on earth, Stand by us in our final strife, And lead us out of death to life. 4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God, And smite them with an iron rod, And let them fall into the snare Which for Thy Christians they prepare. 5 So that at last they may perceive That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live, And dost deliver mightily All those who put their trust in Thee.

Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #275 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord! Hear Zion’s sighs, and help afford; Destroy the wiles of mighty foes, Who now Thy Word and truth oppose. 2 Their craft and vaunting pomp is great; High beat their hearts, with power elate; Our dearest hopes they but deride, And deem us nothing in their pride. 3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive, Grant us Thy grace and let us live; Convince Thy foes throughout the land That godless counsels shall not stand. 4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace, Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease; Let it to all the world appear That Thy true Church indeed is here. 5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim, Who put'st each enemy to shame, Dost all their haughtiness suppress. And help Thine own in their distress. Topics: Reformation Languages: English

Fear not, O little flock, the Foe

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #276 (1918) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fear not, 0 little flock, the Foe Who madly seeks your overthrow; Dread not his rage and power: What though your courage sometimes faints, His seeming triumph o'er God's saints Lasts but a little hour. 2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs To Him who can avenge your wrongs; Leave it to Him, our Lord, Though hidden yet from mortal eyes, His Gideon shall for you arise, Uphold you and His Word. 3 As true as God's own Word is true, Not earth nor hell with all their crew Against us shall prevail. A jest and byword are they grown; God is with us; we are His own; Our victory cannot fail. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer! Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare, Fight for us once again! So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise A mighty chorus to Thy praise, World without end: Amen! Topics: Reformation Languages: English

The mouth of fools doth God confess

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #277 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The mouth of fools doth God confess, But while their lips draw nigh Him, Their heart is full of wickedness, And all their deeds deny Him. Corrupt are they, and every one Abominable deeds hath done; There is not one well-doer. 2 The Lord looked from His heavenly throne On all mankind below Him, To see if there were any one Who truly sought to know Him, And all his understanding bent To search His holy Word, intent To do His will in earnest. 3 But none there was who walked with God, For all aside had slidden, Delusive paths of folly trod, And followed lusts forbidden; Not one there was who practiced good, Though many deemed, in haughty mood, Their deeds to God were pleasing. 4 How long, by folly blindly led, Will they oppress the needy, And eat my people up like bread? So fierce are they and greedy! In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on Him in trouble call, But be their own providers. 5 Therefore their heart is never still, A constant fear dismays them, God is with him who doth His will, Who trusts Him and obeys Him; Ye shame the counsel of the poor, And mock him when he doth assure That God is e'er his refuge. 6 Who shall to Israel’s outcast race From Zion bring salvation? God will Himself at length show grace And loose the captive nation; That will He do by Christ their King; Let Jacob then be glad and sing, And Israel be joyful.

O God, from heaven look down and see

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #278 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O God, from heaven look down and see A sight which well may move Thee: Of godly men how few there be, Forsaken we who love Thee! Withheld is Thy pure Word, the light Of faith itself extinguished quite In all the sons of Adam. 2 Fictions they teach with cunning art, And lies of man's invention; Not grounded on God's Word, their heart Breeds naught but strange dissension; One chooses this, another that, Untold division they create Though saint-like in appearance. 3 May God root out all heresy, And of false teachers rid us, Who proudly say: "Now where is he That shall our speech forbid us! We have the right and might alone, And what we say must stand, we own None as our lord and master." 4 Therefore saith God, "I must arise, The poor suffer wrong-doing; To me ascend my people's sighs, And I have heard their suing: My saving Word shall take the field, Shall be the poor man's strength and shield, Shall conquer all opposers." 5 As silver seven times furnace-tried; Is pure from all its drosses, So doth the Word of God abide The brighter for its crosses; For trial shows its worth aright, And manifests its strength, and light, That through all lands it shineth. 6 O God, preserve it pure and free From this vile generation, And let us be preserved by Thee From their abomination; The wicked walk on every side, When 'mid Thy flock the vile abide In power and are exalted.

Christ, Thou the Champion of the band who own

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #279 (1918) Meter: 10.10.10.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ, Thou the Champion of the band who own Thy cross, O make Thy succor quickly known! The schemes of those who long our blood have sought Bring Thou to naught. 2 Do Thou Thyself for us Thy children fight, Withstand the Devil, quell his rage and might, Whate'er assails Thy members left below, Do Thou o'erthrow. 3 And give us Thy peace: peace in the Church and school, Peace to the powers who o'er our country rule, Peace to the conscience, peace within the heart Do Thou impart. 4 So shall Thy goodness here be still adored, Thou Guardian of Thy little flock, dear Lord; And heaven and earth through all eternity Shall worship Thee.

Ah! Lord our God, let them not be confounded

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #280 (1918) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Ah! Lord our God, let them not be confounded Who, though by want, and woe, and pain surrounded, Yet day and night still for Thy hope are sighing, To Thee are crying. 2 But put to shame Thy foes, who breathe defiance, And make their own vain might their sole reliance; O turn in mercy to Thy generation, Lord, have compassion! 3 We stand bereft of help, and poor and lonely. 'Twere vain to trust in man;--with Thee, Lord, only We may defeat the enemies around us Who seek to wound us. 4 Thou art our Champion who canst overthrow them, And save the little flock now crushed below them, We trust in Thee; for Jesus' sake be near us! Help, Helper hear us! Topics: Reformation Languages: English
