A Mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate'er doth happen; For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe: Strong mail of craft and power He weareth in this hour; On earth is not his equal. 2 Stood we alone in our own might, Our striving would be losing; For us the one true Man doth fight, The Man of God's own choosing. Who is this chosen One? 'Tis Jesus Christ, the Son. The Lord of hosts, 'tis He Who wins the victory In ev'ry field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All watching to devour us, Our souls to fear we need not yield, They cannot overpower us; Their dreaded prince no more Can harm us as of yore; His rage we can endure; For lo! his doom is sure, A word shall overthrow him.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,997 hymnals First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Author: Bernard Barton Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace, Brook by the trav'ler's way; 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed, The manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Word of the ever-living God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 4 Yet to unfold Thy hidden worth, Thy myst'ries to reveal, That Spirit which first gave thee forth, Thy volume must unseal. 5 And we, if we aright would learn The wisdom it imparts, Must to its heavenly teaching turn, With simple, child-like hearts.
