[ PAGE TWO - There are two hymns on this page, namely:" A Mighty Fortress is our God" and "Grace! 'Tis ( is is ) A Charming Sound" ]

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD 

A mighty fortress is our God, 
A bulwark never failing: 
Our Helper He, amid the flood 
Of mortal ills prevailing. 
For still our ancient foe 
Doth seek to work his woe; 
His craft and power are great, 
And armed with cruel hate — 
On earth is not his equal. 

Did we in our own 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 is His name, 
From age to age the same: 
And He must win the battle. 

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. 

That word above all earthly pow'rs [ powers ] . 
No thanks to them, abideth; 
The Spirit and the gifts are ours, 
Thro' [ Through ] Him who with us sideth. 
Let goods and kindred go, 
This mortal life also; 
The body they may kill: 
God's truth abideth still, 
His Kingdom is for ever.

GRACE! 'TIS [ it is ] A CHARMING SOUND 

Grace! 'tis [ it is ] a charming sound, 
Harmonious to the ear; 
Heaven with the echo shall resound, 
And all the earth shall hear. 

Saved by grace alone; 
This is all my plea - 
Jesus died for all mankind, 
And Jesus died for me. 

Oh, let Thy grace inspire 
My soul with strength divine! 
May all my powers to Thee aspire, 
And all my days be Thine.
