Blest be the tie that binds

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #462 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes; Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

The saints of earth and those above

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #463 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The saints on earth and those above But one communion make; Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love, All of His grace partake. 2 One family we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream,-- The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow: Part of the host have passed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home Are swiftly borne away; And we are to the margin come, And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus, be our constant guide, Then, when the word is given, Bid death’s cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven.

Glorious things of Thee are spoken

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #464 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of Thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode: On the Rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation’s walls surrounded, Thou may’st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t’assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Savior, since of Zion’s city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion’s children know. Topics: Church Languages: English

Zion stands with hills surrounded

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #465 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Zion stands with hills surrounded, Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine. Happy Zion, What a happy lot is thine! 2 Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Brothers cease their own to cherish; Heaven and earth at last remove: But no changes Can attend Jehovah’s love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in His sight; God is with thee, God, thine everlasting Light.

The Church's one foundation

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #466 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the word; From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Topics: Church Languages: English

Hark! the Church proclaims her honor

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #467 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark! The Church proclaims her honor, And her strength is only this: God has laid his choice upon her, And the work she does is His. 2 He His Church has firmly founded, He will guard what He began; We by sin and foes surrounded, Build her bulwarks as we can. 3 Frail and fleeting are our powers, Short our days, our foresight dim, And we own the choice not ours, We were chosen first by Him. 4 Onward, then! for nought despairing, Calm we follow at His Word, Thus through joy and sorrow bearing Faithful witness to our Lord. 5 Though we here must strive in weakness, Though in tears we often bend, What His might began in meekness Shall achieve a glorious end.

I love Thy Zion, Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #468 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion, Lord, The house of Thine abode, The Church our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious blood. 2 I love Thy Church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 Should I with scoffers join Her altars to abuse? No! better far my tongue were dumb, My hand its skill should lose. 4 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 5 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 6 Jesus, Thou Friend divine, Our Savior and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. 7 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

Lord of the worlds above

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #469 (1918) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above, How pleasant and how fair The dwellings of Thy love, Thine earthly temples are! To Thine abode My heart aspires, With warm desires To see my God. 2 Oh, happy souls who pray Where God appoints to hear! Oh, happy men who pay Their constant service there! They praise Thee still; And happy they Who love the way To Zion’s hill. 3 They go from strength to strength Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length, Till each in heaven appears. Oh, glorious seat, When God our King Shall thither bring Our willing feet! Topics: Church Languages: English

Saints of God! the dawn is bright'ning

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #470 (1918) Meter: 8.7.6.1 Lyrics: 1 Saints of God! the dawn is bright'ning, Token of our coming Lord; O'er the earth the field is whit'ning; Louder rings the Master's word: Pray for reapers In the harvest of the Lord! 2 Now, O Lord, fulfil Thy pleasure, Breathe upon Thy chosen band, And, with Pentecostal measure, Send forth reapers o'er our land; Faithful reapers Gathering sheaves for Thy right hand. 3 Broad the shadow of our nation, Eager millions hither roam; Lo! they wait for Thy salvation; Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; By Thy Spirit Bring Thy ransomed people home. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come; Heaven and earth together keeping God's eternal Harvest-Home. Saints and angels Shout the world's great Harvest-Home. Topics: Church Languages: English

The morning light is breaking

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #471 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking, To penitential tears; Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love, And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above; While sinners, now confessing, The Gospel call obey, And seek the Savior's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thy onward way; Flow thou to every nation, Nor in thy richness stay; Stay not till all the lowly Triumphant reach their home; Stay not till all the holy Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"
