A Mighty Fortress is our God CW #201 Verses 1-4 Text: Martin Luther, Setting: EIN FESTE BURG Tune: Martin Luther,

Verse 1: A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal.

Verse 2: With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the valiant one Whom God himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, The almighty Lord, And there's no other God; He holds the field forever.

Verse 3: Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done! One little word can fell him.

Verse 4: The Word they still shall let remain Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With his good gifts and Spirit. And do what they will-- Hate, steal, hurt, or kill-- Though all may be gone, Our victory is won; The kingdom's our forever!

“We Have a Great High Priest…”

In thankfulness for our salvation, we support God’s work with our offerings.

Chief of Sinners Though I Be CW #385 Verses 1 & 5 Text: William McComb, Setting: GETHSEMANE Tune: Richard Redhead,

Verse 1: Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed his blood for me, Died that I might live on high, Lives that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am his and he is mine!

Verse 5: Strengthen me, O gracious Lord, By your Spirit and your word. When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die.
