How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,121 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:5 First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can he say than to you he hath said,
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2. "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
for I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3. "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4. "When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
the flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5. “The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake.”

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 693 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:12-13 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
without a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiv'n,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heav'n,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heav'n, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do.

1 I know that my Redeemer lives;
What joy the blest assurance gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my everlasting Head!
2 He lives, to bless me with his love;
He lives, to plead for me above;
He lives, my hungry soul to feed;
He lives, to help in time of need.
3 He lives, and grant me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives, my mansion to prepare;
He lives, to bring me safely there.
4 He lives, all glory to his name;
He lives, my Saviour still the same;
What joy the blest assurance gives;
I know that my Redeemer lives!

All my hope on God is founded
Author: Joachim Neander (1650-1680); Robert Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded,
all my trust he will renew;
safe through change and chance he guides me,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
he alone
calls my heart to be his own.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray God's trust;
though with care and toil we build them,
tower and temple fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 God's great goodness lasts for ever,
deep his wisdom passing thought:
splendour, light, and life attend him,
beauty springing out of naught.
Evermore,
from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.
4 Day by day the mighty Giver
showers gifts on us below;
his desire our souls delight in,
pleasure leads us where we go.
See love stand
at his hand,
joy awaits at his command!
5 Still from earth to God in heaven
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Hear Christ call
one and all:
those who follow shall not fall. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; Change; Hope; Providence Used With Tune: MICHAEL

Father of peace, and God of love!
we own thy pow’r to save,
That pow’r by which our Shepherd rose
victorious o’er the grave.
Him from the dead thou brought’st again,
when, by his sacred blood,
Confirmed and sealed for evermore,
th’ eternal cov’nant stood.
O may thy Spirit seal our souls,
and mould them to thy will,
That our weak hearts no more may stray,
but keep thy precepts still;
That to perfection’s sacred height
we nearer still may rise,
And all we think, and all we do,
be pleasing in thine eyes.

when this sweet chant they hear,

may Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
through all the ages long,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 618 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:5 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my Master and my Friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O Guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end,
when you in glory take me,
my Savior and my Friend.
