A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios)

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1805-1980; Juan Bautista Cabrera, 1837-1916 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 674 hymnals Topics: Reino de Dios Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper frees us from the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe, Forsworn to work us woe, With guile and dreadful might Is armed to wage the fight: On earth there is no equal. 2 If we in our own strength confide, Our striving turns to losing; the righteous one fights by our side, The one of God’s own choosing. You ask who this may be; Christ Jesus, it is he, The Lord of hosts by name. No other God we claim! None else can win the battle. 3 Through all the world with devils fill And threaten to devour us, We tremble not, we trust God's will: They cannot overpow'r us. Though Satan rant and rage, In fiercest war engage, This tyrant's doomed to fail; God's judgment must prevail! One little word shall triumph. 4 God's Word shall stand above the pow'rs, Shall end all their thanksgiving. The Spirit and the gifts are ours, For God with us is living. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; Though all of these be gone, They yet have nothing won. The kingdom's ours forever! --- 1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios, defensa y buen escudo. Con su poder nos librará en todo 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 luchará de Dios el escogido. Es nuestro Rey, Jesús, el que venció en la cruz, Señor y Salvador, y siendo el solo Dios, él triunfa en la batalla. 3 Y si demonios mil están prontos a devorarnos, no temeremos, porque Dios sabrá cómo 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, nombre, hogar, el cuerpo destruir, mas siempre ha de existir de Dios el reino eterno. Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:2-4 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

The Church's One Foundation (Un Solo Fundamento)

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900; Lefferd M. A. Haughwout, 1873-1952 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Reino de Dios First Line: The Church's one foundation (Un solo fundmento) Lyrics: ENGLISH - 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the Word. From heav'n he came and sought her To be his holy bride; With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, Yet one o'er all the earth; Her charter of salvation: One Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With ev'ry grace endued. 3 Through toil and tribulation And tumult of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blessed, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union With the God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won. O blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by your grace That we, like saints before us, May see you face to face. SPANISH - 1 Un solo fundamento Y un sólo un fundador La santa Iglesia tiene En Cristo, su Señor, Haciéndola su esposa, Del cielo descendió, Y por su propia sangre Su libertad compró. 2 Aunque es de muchas razas, Disfruta de unidad: Sólo una fe confiesa En santa caridad; Es uno su bautismo, Un pan de santidad; Por gracia siempre espera Una felicidad. 3 Cercada de tumultos, De guerra y confusión, La paz eterna espera, Serena en su visión; Al fin, ya victoriosa, La iglesia terrenal Recibe por su premio Descanso celestial. 4 Mas ella aquí disfruta Celeste comunión Con Dios y con los santos En paz y perfección. Jesús, cabeza nuestra, Concédenos lugar con los que habitan siempre En tu celeste hogar. Scripture: Psalm 118:22 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Johann Sebastian Bach

1685 - 1750 Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 Topics: Reino de Dios Harmonizer of "EIN' FESTE BURG" in Santo, Santo, Santo Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended. Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception). In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake. After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Bland Tucker

1895 - 1984 Person Name: F. Bland Tucker, 1895-1984 Topics: Reino de Dios Translator (English) of "Father, We Thank You, Who Have Planted (Gracias, Buen padre, Que Plantaste)" in Oramos Cantando = We Pray In Song Francis Bland Tucker (born Norfolk, Virginia, January 6, 1895). The son of a bishop and brother of a Presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, he was educated at the University of Virginia, B.A., 1914, and at Virginia Theological Seminary, B.D., 1920; D.D., 1944. He was ordained deacon in 1918, priest in 1920, after having served as a private in Evacuation Hospital No.15 of the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I. His first charge was as a rector of Grammer Parish, Brunswick County, in southern Virginia. From 1925 to 1945, he was rector of historic St. John's Church, Georgetown, Washington, D.C. Then until retirement in 1967 he was rector of John Wesley's parish in Georgia, old Christ Church, Savannah. In "Reflections of a Hymn Writer" (The Hymn 30.2, April 1979, pp.115–116), he speaks of never having a thought of writing a hymn until he was named a member of the Joint Commission on the Revision of the Hymnal in 1937 which prepared the Hymnal 1940

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Person Name: Louis Bourgeois, c. 1510-1561 Topics: Reino de Dios Composer (attributed to) of "RENDEZ À DIEU" in Oramos Cantando = We Pray In Song Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation. The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life. Bert Polman
