All Hail to Thee, O Blessed Morn!

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All hail to thee, O blessed morn! To tidings long by prophets borne Hast thou fulfillment given. O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven! Sing, Ringing Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Saviour to us given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather Gather Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heaven is rent To close upon us never: Our blessèd Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother. Amen.

Though my weary steps may falter, And my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see; Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see. 3 All the way my Saviour leads me; O the fullness of His love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father’s house above. When my spirit, clothed immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day, This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way. This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way. Amen.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon, He helps us in our ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Ere 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, it is He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpower us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fiercely as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word they 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, yea, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth. Amen.
