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: Satan/Demonic Forces/Devil 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.

The Kingdom Satan Founded

Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703; C. Døving, 1807-1937 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Triumph Over Satan Lyrics: 1 The kingdom Satan founded Shall now be overthrown, For Christ its fall hath sounded, And through His pow'r alone Shall Satan meet his doom, And be for aye confounded; He from the souls he wounded Shall flee in fear and gloom. 2 Though he would bind forever Our lips with bands of hell, Yet Christ, sent to deliver, Can loose those bands full well, That e'en the dumb may raise His voice with joy and pleasure And sing in sweetest measure To God his thanks and praise. 3 O Jesus! my distresses To Thee are known full well, Thou seest how Satan presses My soul's weak citadel; His aim is to control My members and my senses, With sin and with offenses He steals into my soul. 4 Anon my tongue he bindeth That God it shall not praise; Anon my eyes he blindeth To hide the light of grace; Now he my ears doth close To hinder me from hearing The Gospel's sound so cheering And soothing in my woes. 5 To God I raise my crying Before the mercy-seat, And on His Word relying I grace of Him entreat, That He for Jesus' sake Would cleanse my soul and spirit Through Jesus' blood and merit, And Satan's power break. 6 God, let not love of sinning Thy fear drive from my breast, Lest Satan, triumph winning, Be of my heart possessed; O let Thy chas'tning rod Each day give me direction, To seek Thy sure protection And tell Thy grace abroad. 7 My heart must Thou have solely, My Savior and my God! Come, Jesus, take it wholly, And make it Thine abode! Mold it to Thy control, That I, Thy Word receiving, May find, in Thee believing, Salvation for my soul.

Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie Bancroft Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Satan Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea, a great High Priest whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart. I know that while in heav'n he stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart, no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see him there, who made an end to all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God, the just, is satisfied to look on him and pardon me, to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there, the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with himself I cannot die. My soul is purchased by his blood! My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Savior and my God, with Christ, my Savior and my God.

Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, so will I let nothing hide you, seek no joy beside you! 2 Let your arms enfold me: those who try to wound me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Fires may flash and thunder crash; yea, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all worldly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross shall not from my Savior move me, since he chose to love me. 4 Banish thoughts of sadness, for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; though the clouds may gather, those who love the Savior still have peace within. Though I bear much sorrow here, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure! Scripture: Psalm 73:25 Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE
