A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: HTLG2017 #302 (2017) 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 pow'r 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. You 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 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God has willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly pow'rs 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.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HTLG2017 #303 (2017) 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 Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received its frame, from everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an ev'ning gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever rolling stream bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the op'ning day. 6 Our God, our Help in ages past, our Hope for years to come, be Thou our Guide while life shall last, and our eternal Home!

A Sovereign Protector I Have

Thou Hidden Love of God

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #306 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Thou hidden Love of God, whose height Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden Love of God, whose height, whose depth unfathomed, no man knows, I see from far Thy beauteous light, and inly sigh for Thy repose; my heart is pained, nor can it be at rest till it finds rest in Thee. 2 'Tis mercy all that Thou hast brought my mind to seek its peace in Thee; yet while I seek, but find Thee not, no peace my wand'ring soul shall see. O when shall all my wand'rings end, and all my steps to Thee-ward tend? 3 Is there a thing beneath the sun that strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, the Lord of ev'ry motion there; then shall my heart from earth be free, when it has found repose in Thee. 4 O hide this self from me, that I no more, but Christ in me, may live; my vile affections crucify, nor let one darling lust survive; in all things nothing may I see, nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 5 O Love, Thy sov'reign aid impart to save me from low-thoughted care; chase this self-will from all my heart, from all its hidden mazes there; make me Thy duteous child, that I may ceaseless "Abba, Father," cry. 6 Each moment draw from earth away my heart, that lowly waits Thy call; speak to my inmost soul, and say "I am Thy Love, Thy God, Thy all." To feel Thy pow'r, to hear Thy voice, to taste Thy love, be all my choice! Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER

Be Still, My Soul

D. von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: HTLG2017 #308 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; leave to thy God to order and provide; in ev'ry change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'nly Friend thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, and all is darkened in the veil of tears, then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #309 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings; it is the Lord who rises with healing in His wings; when comforts are declining, He grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, we sweetly then pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, “E'en let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may.” 3 "It can bring with it nothing, but He will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe His people, too; beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed; and He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread." 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither their wonted fruit should bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there, yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; for while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HTLG2017 #310 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary rest. 3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build, my Shield and Hiding Place, my never-failing Treas'ry filled with boundless stores of grace! 4 By Thee my pray'rs acceptance gain, although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, and I am owned a child. 5 Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, my Prophet, Priest, and King; my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring. 6 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought! 7 Till then I would Thy love proclaim with ev'ry fleeting breath; and may the music of Thy name refresh my soul in death.

Rejoice, Believer, in the Lord

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HTLG2017 #312 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord, who makes your cause His own; the hope that's built upon His Word can ne'er be overthrown. 2 Though many foes beset your road, and feeble is your arm, your life is hid with Christ in God beyond the reach of harm. 3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint or fainting shall not die! Jesus, the strength of ev'ry saint, will aid you from on high. 4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, faith sees Him always near! a Guide, a Glory, a Defense; then what have you to fear? 5 As surely as He overcame and triumphed once for you, so surely you that love His name shall in Him triumph too.

Give to the Winds Thy Fears

Cast off the weight, let fear depart, and ev'ry care be gone. 4 What though thou rulest not, yet heav'n, and earth, and hell proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, and ruleth all things well. 5 Leave to His sov'reign sway to choose and to command, so shalt thou wond'ring own His way, how wise, how strong His hand! 6 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, when fully He the work hath wrought, that caused thy needless fear. 7 Thou seest our weakness, Lord, our hearts are known to Thee; O lift Thou up the sinking heart, confirm the feeble knee. 8 Let us in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare, and publish with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care.

Not What I Am, O Lord

Baker Hymnal: HTLG2017 #317 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His and He is mine forever. 2 Where streams of living water flow my ransomed soul He leadeth, and, where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, but yet in love He sought me. And on His shoulder gently laid, and home rejoicing brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill with Thee, dear Lord beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight; Thy unction grace bestoweth; and O what transport of delight from Thy pure chalice floweth! 6 And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise within Thy house forever.

Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness! Vile and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within; Thou of life the Fountain art, freely let me take of Thee, spring Thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Thou Sweet Beloved Will of God

If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HTLG2017 #323 (2017) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee and hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, and bear thee through the evil days; who trusts in God's unchanging love builds on the Rock that naught can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, these never ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help if thou bewail thee o'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press the heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still, and wait His leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure and all discerning love have sent; nor doubt our inmost wants are known to Him who chose us for His own. 4 All are alike before the Highest; 'tis easy to our God, we know, to raise thee up though low thou livest, to make the rich man poor and low; true wonders still by Him are wrought who setteth up and bright to naught. 5 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; in all thy labor faithful be, and trust His Word; though undeserving, thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never will forsake in need the soul that trusts in Him indeed. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK

What God Ordains Is Always Good

Author: Samuel Rodigast Hymnal: HTLG2017 #324 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good: His will is just and holy. As He directs my life for me, I follow meek and lowly. My God indeed in ev'ry need knows well how He will shield me; to Him, then, I will yield me. 2 What God ordains is always good: He never will deceive me; He leads me in His righteous way, and never will He leave me. I take content what He has sent; His hand that sends me sadness will turn my tears to gladness. 3 What God ordains is always good: His loving thought attends me; no poison can be in the cup that my Physician sends me. My God is true; each morning new I trust His grace unending, My life to Him commending. 4 What God ordains is always good: He is my Friend and Father; He suffers naught to do me harm though many storms may gather. Now I may know both joy and woe; some day I shall see clearly that He has loved me dearly. 5 What God ordains is always good: though I the cup am drinking which savors now of bitterness, I take it without shrinking. For after grief God gives relief, my heart with comfort filling and all my sorrow stilling. 6 What God ordains is always good: this truth remains unshaken. Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, I shall not be forsaken. I fear no harm, for with His arm He shall embrace and shield me; so to my God I yield me.

Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, or alone in this wilderness rove? 3 O why should I wander, an alien from Thee, or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, and smile at the tears I have shed. 4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, and myriads wait for His word; He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. 5 Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call; I know the sweet sound of Thy voice; restore and defend me, for Thou art my All, And in Thee I will ever rejoice.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer nought to hide Thee, ask for nought beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me, foes who would oppress me cannot reach me here; though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; sin and hell in conflict fell with their heaviest storms assail me. Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; death, I need not fly thee; fear, I bid thee cease! Rage, O world, thy noises cannot drown our voices singing still of peace; for God's pow'r guards ev'ry hour; earth and all the depths adore Him, silent bow before Him. 4 Wealth, I will not heed thee; wherefore should I need thee? Jesus is my joy; honors, ye may glisten, but I will not listen, ye the soul destroy; want or loss or shame or cross ne'er to leave my Lord shall move me, since He deigns to love me. 5 Farewell, thou who choosest earth, and heaven refuses, thou wilt tempt in vain; hence, ye sins, nor blind me, get ye far behind me, come not forth again: past your hour, O pomp and power; godless life, thy bonds I sever, leave thee now for ever! 6 Hence, all thoughts sadness, for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; those who love the Father, though the storms may gather, still have peace within; yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HTLG2017 #336 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them when on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

Jerusalem, the Golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th cent.; John Mason Neale Hymnal: HTLG2017 #337 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden, with milk and honey blest, beneath your contemplation sink heart and voice oppressed; I know not, O I know not what joys await me there, what radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare! 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, all jubilant with song, and bright with many an angel, and all the martyr throng; the Prince is ever in them, the daylight is serene; the pastures of the blessed are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; and there, from care released, the shout of them that triumph, the song of them that feast; and they, who with their Leader have conquered in the fight, forever and forever are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, the home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country that eager hearts expect! In mercy, Jesus, bring us to that dear land of rest, who are, with God the Father, and Spirit, ever blest.

Author: Anne R. Cousin; Samuel Rutherford, 1600-1661 Hymnal: HTLG2017 #340 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; the dawn of heaven breaks; the summer morn I've sighed for, the fair sweet morn awakes; dark, dark, hath been the midnight, but dayspring is at hand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 2 The King there in His beauty without a veil is seen; it were a well-spent journey, though trials lay between: the Lamb with His fair army on Zion's mountain stands, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 3 O Christ, He is the Fountain, the deep sweet Well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted; more deep I'll drink above: there to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 4 The bride eyes not her garment, but her dear bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory, but on my King of grace; not at the crown He giveth, but on His piercèd hand; the Lamb is all the glory of Emmanuel's land.

The Duteous Day Now Closeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Robert S. Bridges Hymnal: HTLG2017 #342 (2017) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth, each flow'r and tree reposeth, shade creeps o’er wild and wood; let us, as night is falling, on God our Maker calling, give thanks to Him, the Giver good. 2 Now all the heav'nly splendor breaks forth in starlight tender from myriad worlds unknown; and man, the marvel seeing, forgets his selfish being, for joy of beauty not his own. 3 His care he drowneth yonder, lost in th'abyss of wonder; to heav'n his soul doth steal; this life he disesteemeth, the day it is that dreameth, that doth from truth his vision seal. 4 Awhile his mortal blindness may miss God’s loving-kindness and grope in faithless strife; but when life’s day is over shall death’s fair night discover the fields of everlasting life.
