Lord, Hear My Prayer, and Let My Cry
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #209 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry
Have ready access unto Thee;
When in distress to Thee I fly,
O hide not Thou Thy face from me.
Attend, O Lord, to my desire,
O haste to answer when I pray;
For grief consumes my strength like fire,
My days as smoke pass swift away.
2 My heart is withered like the grass,
And I forget my daily bread;
In lonely grief my days I pass
And sad my thoughts upon my bed.
My foes reproach me all the day,
My drink is tears, my bread is grief,
For in Thy wrath I pine away,
My days are like a fading leaf.
3 But Thou, Jehovah, shalt endure,
Thy throne forever is the same;
And to all generations sure
Shall be Thy great memorial Name.
The time for Zion’s help is near,
The time appointed in Thy love;
O let Thy gracious aid appear,
Look Thou in mercy from above.
4 O Lord, regard the prayer of those
Who love the walls of Zion well,
Whose hearts are heavy for her woes,
Who sad amid her ruins dwell.
Thy power and glory shall appear,
And Zion’s walls shall be restored;
Then all the kings of earth shall fear
And heathen nations serve the Lord.
5 The Lord, exalted on His throne,
Looked down from heaven with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive’s moan
And save His people doomed to die.
All men in Zion shall declare
His gracious Name with one accord,
When kings and nations gather there
To serve and worship God the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY COMMUNION
Lord, Hear My Prayer, and Let My Cry

Christian, Dost Thou See Them
Author: St. Andrew of Crete; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #574 (1990) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them
on the holy ground,
how the pow'rs of darkness
rage thy steps around?
Christian, up and smite them,
counting gain but loss,
in the strength that cometh
by the holy cross.
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
how they work within,
striving, tempting, luring,
goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble;
never be downcast;
gird thee for the battle,
watch and pray and fast.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them,
how they speak thee fair?
"Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?"
Christian, answer boldly,
"While I breathe I pray!"
Peace shall follow battle,
night shall end in day.
4 Hear the words of Jesus:
"O my servant true:
thou art very weary -
I was weary too;
but that toil shall make thee
some day all mine own,
and the end of sorrow
shall be near my throne."
Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW OF CRETE

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #222 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Our 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 your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
with all their lives and cares,
are carried downward by your flood,
and lost in foll'wing years.
6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day.
7 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come:
O be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

All People That on Earth Do Dwell
Author: William Kethe Hymnal: The Worshipbook #288 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.

Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

His holy will abiding;

Wherefore to him we leave it all.

He never will deceive us.
He leads us by the proper path;
We know he will not leave us,
And take, content,
What he has sent;
His hand can turn our griefs away,
And patiently we wait his day.

Here shall our stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be ours,
Yet we are not forsaken;

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: The Worshipbook #274 (1972) Meter: Irregular 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 Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

Rest beneath th' Almighty's shade,
In his secret habitation
Dwell, nor ever be dismayed:
There no tumult can alarm you,
You shall dread no hidden snare;
Guile nor violence can harm you,
In eternal safeguard there.

From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight blasting,
God shall be your sure defense:
He shall charge his angel legions
Watch and ward o'er thee to keep;
Though you walk through hostile regions,
Though in desert wilds you sleep.
3 Since, with pure and firm affection,
You on God hast set your love,
With the wings of his protection
He will shield you from above:
You shall call on him in trouble,
He will hearken, he will save;
Here for grief reward you double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.

Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the word:
From heaven 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 every 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 every grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth has union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
May live eternally.
