A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 674 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:28 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 doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power 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. Dost 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 hath 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 powers, 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.

The First Day of the Week

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:27 Lyrics: 1 The first day of the week his own, in sad despair, could not believe for very joy their risen Lord was there. 2 Obedient to his word, they shared what Jesus gave, and, one in him, in breaking bread knew what it cost to save. 3 Each day throughout the week as on the Lord's own day, they walked in newfound liberty his true and living way. 4 So on this joyful day from needless burdens freed, we keep the feast he made for us to fit our inmost need. 5 How soon we forge again the fetters of our past: as long as Jesus lives to us, so long our freedoms last. 6 Today his people meet; today his word is sown; Lord Jesus, show us how to use the day we call your own.
