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: Proper 20 Year C 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.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 20 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, boasted pomp and empty show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
