Reformation Day

Almighty God, gracious Lord, pour out your Holy Spirit upon your faithful people. Keep them steadfast in your Word, protect them in all temptations, defend them against all their enemies, and bestow on the Church your saving peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

1 God is our refuge and strength,

   a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,

   though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam,

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

    the holy habitation of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;

   God will help her when morning dawns.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God.

   I will be exalted among the nations,

   I will be exalted in the earth!"

11 The LORD of hosts is with us;

   the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Psalm 46 – English Standard Version
