Opening Hymn “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 us 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 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 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 forever

Closing Hymn “The Battle Belongs to the Lord”
In heavenly armor we'll enter the land the battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us will stand the battle belongs to the Lord
Chorus
And we sing glory honor power and strength to the Lord
We sing glory honor power and strength to the Lord
When the power of darkness comes in like a flood the battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard the pow'r of His blood the battle belongs to the Lord [Chorus]
When your enemy presses in hard do not fear the battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend your redemption is near the battle belongs to the Lord [Chorus]
