great, And arm'd with cru-el hate, On earth is not His

qual. A-men.

2 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, 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 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.

4 That word above all earthly powers-
No thanks to them- abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
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.

MARTIN LUTHER, 1529. Tr. by F. H. HEDGE, 1852

Thee all

angels cry a - loud; To Thee the powers on high,

2 O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Whom heavenly hosts obey,
The world is with the glory filled

Of Thy majestic sway.
The apostles' glorious company,

And prophets crowned with light, With all the martyrs' noble host, Thy constant praise recite.

3 The holy church throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses Thee,
That Thou th' eternal Father art,

Of boundless majesty.
Thy honored, true, and only Son,
And Holy Ghost, the spring
Of never ceasing joy; O Christ,
Of glory Thou art King.

Tr. by NAHUM TATE, 1703

3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; 5 Grant us Thy truth to make us free,

Our noontide is Thy, gracious dawn;
Our rainbow arch Thy mercy's sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.

And kindling hearts that burn for Thee,
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, 1848
