Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 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 are the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. Topics: The Church Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

A Mighty Fortress is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.5.6.6.7 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us in our every need That has us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guile and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected: But for us fights the valiant One Whom God Himself elected, Ask ye who this may be? Jesus Christ, 'tis He, As Lord of Hosts adores, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. For this world's prince may still, Scowl fierce as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word thy still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit, Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth.
