They Did Not Build in Vain
Author: Alan Luff (1928-) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10-23 Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain
who founded here a church
as witness to God's love
amid a world of pain,
for still, to those who wish to see,
this place proclaims God's mystery.
2 They built upon the rock
that is the risen Lord,
the one foundation laid
which stands each earthly shock;
that, Spirit filled, we here might raise,
as living temples, prayer and praise.
3 Those who have loved this place,
a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on
as we now run our race,
and so we lay aside each sin
in our desire to strive and win.
4 Though the horizon's bend
conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road
show Christ waits at the end;
in him alone our faith shall stand
who waits for us at God's right hand.
5 In every place our world
is storm and tempest tossed;
the flames of fear and hate
are evil's flags unfurled;
yet still the Spirit's wind and fire
pour gifts for service in this hour.
6 Here is our meeting place,
where doubt finds grounds of faith;
where hurt finds healing love,
our penitence your grace;
where bridging time to eternity
is God the holy Trinity. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church Used With Tune: LITTLE CORNARD

You That Know the Lord Is Gracious
Author: C. A. Alington Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10 Lyrics: 1 You that know the Lord is gracious,
you for whom a cornerstone
stands, of God elect and precious,
laid that you may build thereon,
see that on that sure foundation
you a living temple raise,
towers that may tell forth salvatiton,
walls that may re-echo praise.
2 Living stones by God appointed
each to an allotted place,
kings and priests, by God anointed,
shall you not declare his grace?
You, a royal generation,
tell the tidings of your birth,
tidings of a new creation
to an old and weary earth.
3 Tell the praise of him who called you
out of darkness into light,
broke the fetters that enthralled you,
gave you freedom, peace, and sight:
tell the tale of sins forgiven,
strength renewed, and hope restored,
till the earth, in tune with heaven,
praise an magnify the Lord. Topics: Call and Response Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

God, Your Glory We Have Seen in Your Son
Author: Didier Rimaud; Ronald Johnson; Brian Wren Meter: Irregular Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9-11 First Line: In the fields of this world Lyrics: Refrain:
God, your glory we have seen in your Son,
full of truth, full of heav'nly grace;
in Christ make us live, his love shine on our face,
and the nations shall see in us the triumph you have won.
1 In the fields of this world
his good news he has sown,
and send us out to reap
till the harvest is done. (Refrain)
2 In his love, like a fire
that consumes, he passes by.
The flame has touched our lips;
let us shout, "Here am I!" (Refrain)
3 He was broken for us,
God-forsaken his cry,
and still the bread he breaks:
to ourselves we must die. (Refrain)
4 He has trampled the grapes
of new life on his cross.
Now drink the cup and live;
he has filled it for us. (Refrain)
5 He has founded a kingdom
that none shall destroy;
the cornerstone is laid;
go to work, build with joy! (Refrain)

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,916 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
Let the water and the blood
from thy wounded side which flowed
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse from guilt and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law’s demands.
Could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone.
Thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring;
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress,
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Atonement; Death; Forgiveness; Redemption; Sin Used With Tune: TOPLADY
