Fear not, O little flock, the foe

Author: Johann Michael Altenburg, 1584-1640; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fear not, O little flock, the foe Who madly seeks your overthrow; Dread not his rage and pow'r: What though your courage sometimes faints, His seeming triumph o'er God's saints Lasts but a little hour. 2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs To him who can avenge your wrongs; Leave it to him, our Lord: Though hidden yet from all our eyes, He sees the Gideon who shall rise To save us and his Word. 3 As true as God's own Word is true, Nor earth nor hell with all their crew Against us shall prevail. A jest and byword are they grown; God is with us, we are his own; Our vict'ry cannot fail. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our pray'r; Great Captain, now thine arm make bare, Fight for us once again; So shall thy saints and martyrs raise A mighty chorus to thy praise, World without end. Amen. Amen.

O worship the King all glorious above

Author: Sir Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above, O gratefully sing his pow'r and his love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy pow'r hath founded of old; Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air; it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain; And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might! Ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall lisp to thy praise. Amen.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,312 hymnals 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 t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna 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, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.
