Behold the sure Foundation-stone

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #452 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure Foundation-stone Which God in Zion lays, To build our heavenly hopes upon, And His eternal praise. 2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear, And saints adore the name; They trust their whole salvation here, Nor shall they suffer shame. 3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest, Reject it with disdain; Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest And envy rage in vain. 4 What though the gates of hell withstood, Yet must this building rise: ’Tis Thine own work, Almighty God, And wondrous in our eyes.

Christ is our Corner-stone

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #453 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone, On Him alone we build: With His true saints alone The courts of heav'n are filled; On His great love our hopes we place, Of present grace and joys above. 2 Oh, then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise, The Three in One to sing; And thus proclaim in joyful song Both loud and long, that glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower, on all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.

Christ, Thou art the sure Foundation

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #454 (1918) Meter: 8.7.6.1 Lyrics: 1 Christ, Thou art the sure foundation, Thou the head and corner-stone; Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one; Thou Thy Zion's help forever, And her Confidence alone. 2 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of hosts, today! With Thy wonted loving-kindness Hear Thy servants as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within these walls alway. 3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee forever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 4 Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and one in glory, While eternal ages run.

Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #455 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne, Where Thy redeem'd behold Thy face, Enter this temple, now Thine own, And let Thy glory fill the place. 2 We praise Thee that to-day we see Its sacred walls before Thee stand; 'Tis Thine for us: 'tis ours for Thee; Reared by Thy kind assisting hand. 3 Oft as returns the day of rest, Let heartfelt worship here ascend; With Thine own joy fill every breast, With Thine own power Thy word attend. 4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day, Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still; Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away, And give new strength to meet Thy will. 5 When at Thine Altar we shall meet, And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee, and with Thy Church above. 6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs infold; Give help to climb the heavenward steep, Till Thy full glory we behold.

Eternal Son of God, O Thou

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #456 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of prayer and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here Thy glory they may see, Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou, our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be praise: do Thou, whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.

In loud exalted strains

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #457 (1918) Lyrics: 1 In loud exalted strains, The King of glory praise: O'er heav'n and earth He reigns, Through everlasting days; But Zion, with His presence blest, In His delight, His chosen rest. 2 O King of Glory, come And with Thy favor crown This temple as Thy home, this people as Thy own; Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show How God can dwell with men below. 3 Now let Thine ear attend Our supplicating cries; Now let our praise ascend, Accepted, to the skies; Now let Thy Gospel's joyful sound Spread its celestial influence round. 4 Here may the listening throng Imbibe Thy truth and love; Here Christians join the song Of seraphim above: Till all who humbly seek Thy face Rejoice in Thy abounding grace.

Great is the Lord our God

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #458 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the Church His own abode, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress; How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces. 3 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold, Where His own sheep have been. 4 In every new distress We’ll to His house repair; We'll think upon His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there.

Here, in Thy name, eternal God

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #459 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; O choose it for Thy fixed abode, And keep it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed Gospel of Thy Son, Still by the power of His great name Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 When children's voices raise the song, Hosanna to the heavenly King! Let heaven, with earth, the strain prolong, Hosanna! let the angels sing. 5 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone: Thy kingdom come to every heart, In every bosom fix Thy throne.

There is within this heart of mine

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #460 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 There is within this heart of mine A little church, with sacred shrine, And stained forever with the blood Of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. 2 Here dwelleth God, the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One; He is my soul's beloved Guest, And grants my heart true peace and rest. 3 This little church looks poor and odd; But being the abode of God It has a glorious, peerless grace: It is God's royal dwelling-place. 4 This little church, Lord, I commend Unto Thy care, and pray: Defend And shield it from calamity, Dwell there now and eternally.

Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #461 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be No aliens from each other, But even as he loves himself Each saint shall love his brother. 2 When in Thy courts below we meet To mourn our sinful living, And with united hearts repeat Confession, creed, thanksgiving: 3 Make us to hear in each sweet word Thy Holy Spirit calling To oneness with Thy Church and Thee, That heavenly bond forestalling. 4 One Baptism and one faith have we, One Spirit sent to win us, One Lord, one Father, and one God, Above, and through, and in us. 5 Never, by schism, or by sin, May we that union sever, Till all, to perfect stature grown, Are one with Thee forever.
