A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Meter: Irregular Appears in 674 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he,
The Lord of Hosts 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 has willed
His 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, is standing;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours—
We answer his commanding.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth is ruling still—
His kingdom is forever!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Lord of all, we bow before you;

"Holy, holy, holy Lord."
3 Lo! the apostolic train
join your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.

Holy Spirit, Three we name you;
while in essence only One,
undivided God we claim you,
and adoring bend the knee,
while we sing this mystery. Scripture: Isaiah 6:3 Used With Tune: GROSSER GOTT, WIR LOBEN DICH Text Sources: Based on Te Deum, ca. 4th cent.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
a helper ever near us.
We will not fear though earth be moved,
for God is nigh to cheer us.
Although the mountains quake
and earth's foundations shake,
though angry billows roar
and break against the shore,
our mighty God will hear us.
2 God's city is forever blest
with living water welling;
since God is there, she stands unmoved
'mid tumults round her swelling.
God speaks and all is peace,
from war the nations cease;
the Lord of hosts is nigh.
Our father's God Most High
is our eternal dwelling.
3 Behold what God has done on earth;
his wrath brings desolation.
His grace, commanding wars to cease,
brings peace in ev'ry nation.
Be still, for he is Lord,
by all the earth adored;
the Lord of hosts is nigh.
Our father's God Most High
is our strong habitation. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time like an ever-rolling stream
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guide while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Who has our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The strife at last is ended;
God his good will displays to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again;
O thank him for his goodness.
2 We praise, we worship you, we trust,
And give you thanks forever,
O Father, that your rule is just,
And wise, and changes never;
Your boundless power o'er all things reigns,
You do whate'er your will ordains;
'Tis well you are our ruler!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Begotten of the Father,
O Savior, who our peace restored,
And who lost sheep did gather,
O Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need and hear our cry;
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious gift,
O Comforter unfailing,
Do you our troubled souls uplift,
Against the foe prevailing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
Do you in faith sustain us!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH' Text Sources: Based on Gloria in Excelsis
