A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD

Trinity Hymnbook Page 92;  Violin Key of C

C  G  Em  Am  D  G  Am  Em  Am Dm G7 C

A mighty  For-  tress is  our God,  A  Bulwark ne-  ver fail-  ing;

Did we in  our  own  strength con-fide,  Our  striving would  be los-  ing;

And though this world, with  de-  vils filled,  Should threaten to  un-do  us;

That word a-  bove  all  earth-  ly  pow'rs, No  thanks to them a – bid-  eth;

C  G  Em  Am  D  G  Am  Em    Am  Dm  G7  C

Our Helper  He  a-  midst the  flood Of  mortal ills  pre-  vail-  ing:

Were not the right Man on  our  side, The  Man of God's  own  choos-  ing:

We will not  fear, for  God  hath willed His  truth to tri-  umph through  us:

The Spirit  and  the  gifts  are  ours  Through Him Who with us  sid-  eth:

C  D  G  C  G  Am

For still  our ancient  foe Doth  seek to work us woe;

Dost ask  who that may be? Christ Jesus,  it is  He;

The prince of darkness  grim, We  tremble not for  him;

Let goods  and kindred  go, This  mortal  life al-  so;

E  Am  D7  G  F  C  Dm  E

His  craft and  pow'r are great, And  armed with cruel  hate,

Lord Saba-  oth  His  Name, From age  to  age the same,

His  rage we  can en-  dure, For  lo,  his  doom is sure,

The  body  they may kill; God's  truth  a-  bideth  still,

Am  Em  Am Dm  G7  C

On  earth is not  his  e -  qual.

And He must win the  bat-  tle.

One little word  shall fell  him.

His  Kingdom is  for -  ev-  er.

A WONDERFUL SAVIOR IS JESUS MY LORD

Trinity Hymnbook, Page 175 (w chords);  Violin:

C  F  C

A wonderful Savior is  Jesus my  Lord,

A wonderful Savior is  Jesus my  Lord,

With numberless blessings each  moment He crowns,

When clothed in His brightness, trans-ported I  rise

––––––––

G

A wonderful Savior to  me;

He taketh my burden a-  way;

And filled with a fullness di-  vine,

To meet Him in clouds of the sky,

––––––––

G7  C  F

He  hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

He  holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,

I  sing in my rapture, O glory to God

His  perfect salvation, His wonderful love,

––––––––

C  G7  C

Where rivers of  pleasure I  see.

He  giveth me  strength as my day.

For  such a Re-  deemer as  mine!

I’ll  shout with the millions on  high.

G7  C  G7  C

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,  that shadows a dry, thirsty land;

And covers me there with His hand.

ALAS! AND DID MY SAVIOR BLEED

G  C  G  D7  G 

Alas!  and did  my Sav- ior  bleed

Was it  for  crimes that I  had  done

Well might  the  sun  in  dark-ness hide

Thus might I  hide  my  blushing  face

But drops  of  grief  can ne’er re-  pay

D 

And did my  Sov’- reign die?

He groaned up-  on  the  tree?

And shut his  glo-  ries  in,

While His dear  cross ap-  pears,

The debt of  love  I  owe:

G  D7  Em  G7  C  G  D

Would He  de-  vote  that sa-  cred head

A-  ma-  zing pi-  ty!  grace  un-  known!

When Christ, the  migh-ty  Ma-  ker  died,

Dis-  solve  my  heart in  thankful-  ness,

Here, Lord,  I  give  my  self  a-  way

G  C Em G  D7  G

For  such  a  worm as  I!

And love  be-  yond  de-  gree!

For  man  the creat- ure’s sin.

And melt  my eyes  to  tears.

’Tis  all  that I  can  do.
