A Great and Mighty Wonder

[Refrain] 3 While thus they sing your monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, O vales and mountains, And oceans, clap your hands. [Refrain] 4 Since all he comes to ransom, By all be he adored, The infant born in Bethl'em, The Savior and the Lord.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: LW1982 #298 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 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 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not 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 thanks 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, Though these all be gone, Our vict'ry has been won; The Kingdom ours remaineth.

Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 3 All trials shall be like a dream that is past; Forgotten all trouble and mourning. All questions and doubts have been answered at last, When rises the light of that morning. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 4 The heavens shall ring with an anthem more grand Than ever on earth was recorded; The blest of the Lord shall receive at his hand The crown to the victors awarded.

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. 2 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. 3 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me! 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

We deck your altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting: And as the year's last hours go by, We raise to you our earnest cry, Once more your love entreating. 2 Before the cross subdued we bow, To you our prayer addressing, Recounting all your mercies now, And all our sins confessing, Beseeching you this coming year To keep us in your faith and fear, To crown us with your blessing. 3 We gather up in this brief hour The mem'ry of your mercies: Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r Our grateful song rehearses; For you have been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 4 Then, gracious God, in years to come, We pray your hand may guide us, And, onward through our journey home, Your mercy walk beside us Until at last our ransomed life Is safe from peril, toil, and strife When heav'n itself shall hide us.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: LW1982 #97 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for sins that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut its glories in When God, the mighty maker, died For his own creatures' sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But tears of grief cannot repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away: It's all that I can do.
