Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton; William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,419 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:8 Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace – how sweet the sound –
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Lyrics: 1. Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord and precious,
binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
and her confidence alone.
2. To this temple, where we call you,
come, O Lord of Hosts and stay;
With all your loving-kindness
hear you people as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls today.
3. Grant, we pray, to all your faithful
all the gifts they ask to gain;
what they gain from you forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in your 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 unending ages run!

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 858 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:20 Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the Word.
From heaven 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
the world sees her 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.

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 825 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:4-7 Lyrics: 1 Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
harmonious to my ear;

to save rebellious man,
and all the steps that grace display
which drew the wondrous plan.

to tread the heav'nly road
and new supplies each hour I meet
while pressing on to God.

through everlasting days;
it lays in heav'n the topmost stone,
and well deserves the praise.

Christ is our Corner-stone
Author: Chandler Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:20 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone--
On him alone we build;
With his true saints alone
The courts of heaven 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. Topics: The Christian Church Dedication; Corner-Stone

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,201 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:7-8 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount– I'm fixed upon it–
mount of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I find my greatest treasure;
hither by thy help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

Just as I Am, without One Plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,112 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:14 Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

to rid my soul of one dark blot,
to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
