God is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #90 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, Our ever present aid, And, therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most High has His abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when His voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before His mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

Mount Zion's walls behold, About her ramparts go, And number ye the lofty towers That guard her from the foe. 3 Observe her palaces, Mark her defenses well, That to the sons that follow you Her glories you may tell; For God as our own God Forever will abide, And till life's journey close in death Will be our faithful Guide.

Lord, Thy glory shall appear, Kings and nations then shall fear; And Thy Name shall be adored When Thy Zion is restored. 3 This all ages shall record For the glory of the Lord; Thou dost hear the humble prayer, For the helpless Thou dost care. Thou eternal art, and great, Heaven and earth Thou didst create, Heaven and earth shall pass away, Changeless Thou shalt live for aye. 4 As one lays a garment by, Thou wilt change the starry sky Like a vesture worn and old; But Thy years shall ne'er be told. Thou wilt make Thy servants' race Ever live before Thy face, And forever at Thy side Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: ST.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Rev. Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #431 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: 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 Doth 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. 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 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– abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill, God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever. Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
