How Firm a Foundation

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,128 hymnals Topics: Struggle and Conflict First Line: How firm a foundation for you has been laid Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation for you has been laid, by God in the Word, in the sacrifice paid! What more can God say than to you has been said, to you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with you, oh, be not dismayed, for I am your God, and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand." 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go, the rivers of woe shall not over you flow; For I will be with you, your troubles to bless, delivering you from your deepest distress." 4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie, my grace all-sufficient shall be your supply; the flame shall not hurt you; for I have designed your soul to make pure just as gold is refined." 5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose I will not, I will not desert to its foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

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 Topics: Conflict and Struggle; Struggle and Conflict Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper sure amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; power and malice great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth he has no equal. 2 Did we in our 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 the 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 Christ, who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, God's kingdom is forever.

Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed through death and life in broken bread. Scripture: Mark 10:8 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY
