a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing:
for still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
power and malice great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth he has no equal.
2 Did we in our strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing:
dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
the truth to triumph through us:
the prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure,
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through Christ, who with us sideth:
let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
God's kingdom is forever. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

Lest we miss Thy Kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss Thy Kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
Gird our lives that they may be
Armored with all Christlike graces
In the fight to set men free.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
That we fail not man nor Thee!
That we fail not man nor Thee!
5 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the search for Thy salvation
Be our glory evermore.

Grant us courage,
Serving Thee whom we adore,
Serving Thee whom we adore.

on history's every page.
They knew your perfect goodness,
whose deeds we now record;
and both to this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought the gospel
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and share the great king's feast.
And this was all their teaching
in every deed and word;
to all alike proclaiming:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3 Through many days of darkness,
through many scenes of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their gospel of redemption —
sin pardoned, life restored —
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 And we, shall we be faithless?
shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
shall we evade the conflict
and throw away the crown?
Not so! In God's deep counsels
some better thing is stored;
we will maintain, unflinching,
one church, one faith, one Lord.
5 Your mercy will not fail us
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won.
And then by earth and heaven
your name shall be adored;
and this shall be their anthem:

Oh, this foolish, earthly mind!
Oh, this froward, selfish will,
Which refuses to be still!
Oh, these ever-roaming eyes,
Upward that refuse to rise!
Oh, these wayward feet of mine,
Found in every path but thine!
2 Oh, this stubborn, prayerless knee,
Hands so seldom clasped to thee,
Longings of the soul, that go
Like the wild wind, to and fro!
To and fro, without an aim,
Turning idly whence they came,
Bringing in no joy, no bliss,
Only adding weariness!
3 Giver of the heavenly peace!
Bid, oh, bid these tumults cease;
Ministry thy holy balm;
Fill me with thy Spirit's calm:
Thou, the Life, the Truth, and Way,
Leave me not in sin to stay;
Bearer of the sinner's guilt,
Lead me, lead me, as thou wilt.

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #319 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin First Line: In the hour of trial Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me;
Lest by base denial
I depart from thee;
When thou see'st me waver,
With a look recall,
Nor for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm;
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm;
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance,
Cross-crowned Calvary.
3 Should thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe;
Or should pain attend me
On my path below;
Grant that I may never
Fail thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on thee.
4 When my last hour cometh,
Fraught with strife and pain,
When my dust returneth
To the dust again;
On thy truth relying
Through that mortal strife,
Jesus, take me, dying,
To eternal life.
