O hear this word today; you live in God's full care,
A God who writes upon your heart that God is there.
O hear, this day, the word that tells you whose you are! O hear, this day!
O hear this wortotod today; God is our fortress strong,
A bulwark never failing for our whole lives long.
O hear, this day, the word that tells you whose you are! O hear, this day!
O hear this word today; In Christ you are redeemed.
Even in his death Christ saves you still by grace undreamed!
O hear, this day, the word that tells you whose you are! O hear, this day!
O hear this word today; In Christ you are set free
From sin and death, to know Christ's truth eternally.
O hear, this day, the word that tells you whose you are! O hear, this day!
TEXT: Charles Spence Freeman, October 2023; after Reformation Sunday scriptures.
MUSIC: Tune DARWALL'S 148th, John Darwall, 1770.
While Jeremiah 31:31-34, Psalm 46, Romans 3:19-28, and John 8:31-36 are not RCL readings for Reformation Sunday, they have gained some traction as scriptures from which ideas for that occasion can be worked out. Yes, there's a little Martin Luther quotation in stanza 2.
