A Mighty Fortress

Author: Martin Luther; Frederic Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 673 hymnals Topics: Choir First Line: A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing 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 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. 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 powers no thanks to them abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through 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! Psalter Hymnal, (Gray), 1987

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,216 hymnals Topics: Choir; Choir First Line: Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high; hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 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. Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Amid earth's lamentation, I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn That hails a new creation; Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul, How can I keep from singing? 2 What tho' my joys and comforts die, The Lord my Helper liveth! What tho' the darkness gather round; Songs in the night he giveth! No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that refuge clinging; Since God is Lord of heav'n and earth, How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths Since first I learned to love it. The peace of God makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine, since I am His How can I keep from singing? Used With Tune: MATERNA
