A mighty Fortress Hymn Text:

A mighty fortress is our God,
a sword and shield victorious;
he breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and

Wins salvation glorious. The old satanic foe

Has sworn to work us woe! With craft and dreadful might

He arms himself to fight. On earth he has no equal.



No strength of ours can match his might! We would be lost, re-

Jected. But now a champion comes to fight; whom

God himself elected. You ask who this may be?

The Lord of hosts is he! Christ Jesus, mighty Lord,

God’s only Son, adored. He holds the field victorious.



Though hordes of devils fill the land all threat’ning to de-

Vour us, we tremble not, unmoved we stand; they

Cannot overpow’r us. Let this world’s tyrant rage;

In battle we’ll engage! His might is doomed to fail;

God’s judgment must prevail! One little word subdues him.



God’s Word foever shall abide, no thanks to foes, who

Fear it; for God himself fights by our side with

Weapons of the Spirit. Were they to take our house,

Goods, honor, child, or spouse, though life be wrenched away,

They cannot win the day. The kingdom’s ours forever!



Amazing Grace Lyrics:

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun

Lyrics for Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow:

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise God, all creatures here below;

Praise God above, ye heav’nly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost



Lyrics to “Wash, O God, Our Sons and Daughters”

Wash, O God, our sons and daughters
Where your cleansing waters flow
Number them among your people
Bless as Christ blessed long ago

Weave them garments bright and sparkling
Compass them with love and light
Fill, anoint them, send your Spirit
Holy dove and heart's delight

We who bring them long for nurture
By your milk may we be fed
Let us join your feast partaking
Cup of blessing, living bread

God, renew us, guide our footsteps
Free from sin and all its snares
One with Christ in living, dying
By your Spirit, children, heirs

Oh, how deep your holy wisdom
Unimagined, all your ways
To your name be glory, honor
With our lives we worship, praise

We your people stand before you
Water-washed and Spirit born
By your grace, our lives we offer
Recreate us; God, transform!



Sent Forth by God’s Blessing

Sent forth by God’s blessing,
our true faith confessing,
the people of God from this dwelling take leave.
The supper is ended.
Oh, now be extended
the fruits of this service in all who believe.
The seed of Christ’s teaching,
receptive souls reaching,
shall blossom in action for God and for all.
Your grace shall incite us,
your love shall unite us
to work for your kingdom and answer your call.

With praise and thanksgiving
to God ever-living,
the tasks of our ev’ryday life we will face—
our faith ever sharing,
in love ever caring,
embracing God’s children, the whole human race.
With your feast you feed us,
with your light now lead us;
unite us as one in this life that we share.
Then may all the living
with praise and thanksgiving
give honor to Christ and his name that we bear.

God Is Here! Lyrics vvs. 1, 2, 4

God is here! As we your people
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of the Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.

Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font and pulpit;
Here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the Gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We, who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe!


Take My Life, That I May Be Lyrics vvs. 1, 4, 6:

Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.

Lyrics to “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow”
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost


Let Us Break Bread Together Lyrics:

Let us break bread together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us break bread together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us drink w**e together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us drink w**e together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us praise God together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us praise God together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

O living bread from heaven

Author: Johann Rist

O living Bread from heaven,
How well you feed your guest!
The gifts that you have given
Have filled my heart with rest.
O wondrous food of blessing,
O cup that heals our woes,
My heart, this gift possessing,
In thankful song o'erflows!

My Savior, you have led me
Within your holiest place,
And there yourself have fed me
With treasures of your grace;
And you have freely given
What earth could never buy,
The Bread of Life from heaven,
That now I shall not die.

You gave me all I wanted,
This food can death destroy;
And you have freely granted
The cup of endless joy.
And Lord, I do not merit
The favor you have shown,
And all my soul and spirit
Bow down before your throne.

Lord, grant me then, well-strengthened
With heavenly food, while here
My course on earth is lengthened,
to serve you, free from fear;
And bring me home to praise you
where none can peace destroy,
Where I will ever raise you
Songs of endless joy.

SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER HYMN TEXT:

Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Refrain

Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.

On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will talk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.

Refrain

Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

Refrain

Soon we'll reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

Refrain

We Plow the Fields and Scatter Hymn Text:

We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand.
who sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.

Refrain:
All good gifts around us are sent from heav’n above;
We thank you, Lord, we thank you, Lord for all your love.

You only are the maker of all things near and far;
You paint the wayside flower, you light the evening star.
The wind and waves obey you, by you the birds are fed;
Much more to us, your children, you give our daily bread. [Refrain]

We thank You, our Creator, for all things bright and good:
The seedtime and the harvest, our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer for all Your love imparts;
Accept what You most welcome: our humble, thankful hearts! [Refrain]

Lord, Let My Heart Be Good Soil hymn text:
Lord, let my heart be good soil, open to the seed of your word.
Lord, let my heart be good soil, where love can grow and peace is understood.
When my heart is hard, break the stone away. When my heart is cold,
Warm it with the day. When my heart is lost, lead me on your way.
Lord, let my heart, Lord, let my heart, Lord, let my heart be good soil.

Lyrics for “When Peace Like a River:
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll,
whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control,
that Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul. (Refrain)

He lives-oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;
my sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! (Refrain)

Lord, hasten the day when our faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
the trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend;
even so it is well with my soul. (Refrain)

Lyrics for Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
[originally When my eye-strings break in death]
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

O Master, Let Me Walk with You Hymn Text:
O Master, let me walk with you
In lowly paths of service true;
Tell me your secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me your patience; share with me
a closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong:

In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way;
In peace that only you can give,
With you, O Master, let me live
