God our Preserver

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #239 (1787) Topics: Protection by day and night; Protection by day and night First Line: Upward I lift mine eyes Lyrics: 1 Upward I lift mine eyes, From God is all my aid; The God that built the skies, And earth and nature made; God is the tower To which I fly; His grace is nigh In every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide, And fall in fatal snares, Since God my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes That never sleep, Shall Israel keep, When dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there: Thou art my sun, And thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon. 4 Hast thou not given thy word To save my soul from death? And I can trust my Lord To keep my mortal breath; I'll go and come, Nor fear to die, Till from on high Thou call me home. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English

Author: Carolina V. Sandell Berg; A. L. Skoog Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #255 (2018) Meter: Irregular Topics: Protection Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment, strength I find to meet my trials here; trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He whose heart is kind beyond all measure gives unto each day what he deems best-- lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest. 2 Ev'ry day the Lord himself is near me with a special mercy for each hour; all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me, he whose name is Counselor and Pow'r. The protection of his child and treasure is a charge that on himself he laid; “As your days, your strength shall be in measure,” this the pledge to me he made. 3 Help me then in ev'ry tribulation so to trust your promises, O Lord, that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation offered me within your holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, e'er to take, as from a father’s hand, one by one, the days, the moments fleeting, 'til I reach the promised land.

O blessed shelter from the storm, The sinner's sure retreat: O trysting-place, where heavenly love And heavenly justice meet. 2 There lies beyond its shadow Upon the farther side The darkness of an awful pit That opens deep and wide; But, lo, between, there stands the cross Of Him who died to save With His own life-blood my lost soul From that eternal grave. 3 Upon the cross of Jesus Mine eye by faith can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart with tears Two wonders I confess, The wonders of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 4 O Christ, beneath that shadow Be my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of Thy face; Content to let the world go by, And count its gain but loss; This sinful self my only shame, My only hope Thy cross.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: Voices Together #421 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Protection; Protection Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing. Our present help amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. . For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe with craft and cunning great, and armed with cruel hate; on earth there is no equal. 2 If we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, but there is one who takes our side, the one of God’s own choosing. You ask who that may be: Christ Jesus, it is he! The Lord of hosts by name, from age to age the same. None else can win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we tremble not, for God has willed that truth will triumph through us. Though Satan rant and rage and fiercest war engage, such wrath we can endure, for evil’s doom is sure. One little word shall end it. 4 That Word beyond all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, is sounding. The Spirit and the gifts are ours, by God’s good grace abounding. Lay down all earthly fame, wealth, fam’ly, life, and name. The body they may kill; God’s truth will triumph still. God’s reign endures forever. Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:2-7 Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG
