Faith of our fathers! living still
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 830 hymnals Topics: Adversaries Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear God's glorious Word:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
2 Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
And blest would be their children's fate
If they, like them, should die for thee:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our fathers! God's great pow'r
Shall draw all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
His people shall indeed be free:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
4 Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By witness true and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death. Scripture: Jude 3 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. [Refrain]

Castillo Fuerte
Author: Martín Lutero; Juan B. Cabrera Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Adversary: Satan First Line: Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios Lyrics: 1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios, defensa y buen escudo;
Con su poder nos librará en esta trance agudo.
Con furia y con afán acósanos Satán;
por armas deja ver astucia y gran poder;
cual él no hay en la tierra.
2 Nuestro valor es nada aquí, con él todo es perdido;
Mas por nosotros pugnará de Dios el Escogido.
Es nuestro Rey Jesús, el que venció en la cruz,
Señor y Salvador, y siendo él solo Dios,
él triunfa en la batalla.
3 Aunque estén demonios mil prontos a devorarnos,
No temeremos, porque Dios sabrá como ampararnos.
Que muestre su vigor Satán, y su furor;
dañarnos no podrá; pues condenado es ya
por la Palabra Santa.
4 Esa palabra del Señor que el mundo no apetece,
Por el Espíritu de Dios muy firme permanece.
Nos pueden despojar de bienes y hogar,
el cuerpo destruir, mas siempre ha de existir
de Dios el Reino eterno. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

To God My Earnest Voice I Raise
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Adversaries Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise,
to God my voice imploring prays;
before his face my grief I show
and tell my trouble and my woe.
2 When gloom and sorrow compass me,
the path I take is known to thee,
and all the toils that foes do lay
to snare thy servant in his way.
3 O Lord, my Savior, now to thee,
without a hope besides, I flee,
to thee, my shelter from the strife,
my portion in the land of life.
4 Be thou my help when troubles throng,
for I am weak and foes are strong;
my captive soul from prison bring,
and thankful praises I will sing.

How long wilt thou forget me
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Adversaries Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me,
O Lord, thou God of grace?
How long shall fears beset me,
While darkness hides thy face?
How long shall griefs distress me
And turn my day to night?
How long shall foes oppress me
And triumph in their might?
2 O Lord my God, behold me,
And hear my earnest cries;
Lest sleep of death enfold me,
Enlighten thou mine eyes;
Lest now my foe insulting
Should boast of his success,
And enemies exulting
Rejoice in my distress.
3 But I with expectation
Have on thy grace relied;
My heart in thy salvation
Shall still with joy confide;
And I with voice of singing
Will praise the Lord above,
Who, richest bounties bringing,
Hast dealt with me in love.

for thy praise will I employ. [Refrain]

Till our rest is won:
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow calm and fearless:
Guide us by thy hand
To our fatherland.
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us;
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe
To our home we go.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief;
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, lead thou on
Till our rest is won.
Heav'nly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, control, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland.
Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM
