A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Hymn 46
A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. 1st Stanza
For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe— His craft and pow’r are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 1st Stanza continued
Did we in our own strength confide Our striving would be losing, 2nd Stanza
Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing. 2nd Stanza continued
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. 2nd Stanza continued
And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, 3rd Stanza
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. 3rd Stanza continued
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. 3rd Stanza continued
Last Stanza That word above all earthly pow’rs— No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth. Last Stanza continued
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still— His kingdom is forever.
Invocation & Gloria Patri Hymnal (inside front cover)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
Scripture Reading in Unison Romans 1:8-17
8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
12That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13a Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)
13b that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

He Leadeth Me Hymn 351
1st Stanza He leadeth me! O blessed thought! O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
1st Stanza continued Whate’er I do, where’er I be, Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Chorus He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.
2nd Stanza Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
2nd Stanza continued By waters still, o’er troubled sea, Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me!
Chorus He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.
3rd Stanza Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine;
3rd Stanza continued Content, whatever lot I see, Since ’tis my God that leadeth me!
Chorus He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.
Last Stanza And when my task on earth is done, When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
Last Stanza continued E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
Chorus He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.
