How Firm A Foundation Lyrics

Verse 1

How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word
What more can He say than to you He hath said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled

Verse 2

Fear not I am with thee O be not dismayed
For I am thy God I will still give thee aid
I'll strengthen thee help thee
And cause thee to stand
Up-held by My righteous omnipotent hand

Chorus

Christ, our firm foundation
Hope, to generations
Where all life is found,
where our joy abounds

Verse 3

When through the deep waters I call thee to go
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless
And sanctify thee in thy deepest distress

Verse 4

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply
The flames shall not hurt thee I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine

Verse 5

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not I will not desert to its foes
That soul though all hell should endeavor to shake
I'll never no never no never forsake
(no) He'll never He'll never He'll never forsake!

A Mighty Fortress Lyrics

Verse 1
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never fail--ing
Our Helper He amidst the flood,
of mortal ills prevail--ing
For still our ancient foe,
doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his e--qual

Verse 2
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be los--ing
Were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choo--sing
Dost ask who that may be,
Christ Jesus, it is He
The Lord of hosts His name
from age to age the same
And He must win the battle

Verse 3
And though this world with devils filled
should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed
His 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

Chorus
A mighty fortress, a rock unfailing
The King of Glory forever, amen
For endless ages, enthroned in praises
The King of Glory forever, amen

Verse 4
That word above all earthly powers
no thanks to them abi--deth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
through Him Who with us si--deth
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also
The body they may kill
God’s truth abideth still
His Kingdom is forever

'Tis So Sweet Lyrics

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord!"

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

I'm so glad I learned to trust Him,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that He is with me,
Will be with me to the end.

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

O Church Arise Lyrics

Verse 1

O Church arise and put your armour on
Hear the call of Christ our Captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given
With shield of faith and belt of Truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness

Verse 2

Our call to war to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor
When faced with trials on ev'ry side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations

Verse 3

Come see the cross where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from his grave
This victory march continues 'til the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him

Verse 4

So Spirit come put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful
As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in Glory

Chorus (Optional)

Arise shine for your Light has come
Arise shine for the risen Son
Lift your eyes we are His radiant bride
Arise O Church arise
