Built on the Rock

Author: Nicolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism First Line: Built on the rock the church does stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church does stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the most high, is not dwelling; High above earth his temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet he whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for his habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of his wondrous salvation; Were we but two his name to tell, Yet he would deign with us to dwell, With all his grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King, E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forth-telling; Jesus his grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all his words, His truth doth hollow the temple. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Used With Tune: KIRKEN (BUILT ON THE ROCK)

Author: Samuel John Stone (1839-1900) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 869 hymnals Topics: Church unity and ecumenism 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 Called forth 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, and shares one holy food, as to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 In toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in one, and mystical 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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: AURELIA

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 288 hymnals Topics: Church Ecumenism Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, God, is ended, the sun is sinking in the west; to you our morning hymns ascended, your praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank you that your church unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world a watch is keeping and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking your church beneath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making your wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, God! Your throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; your rule remains and grows forever, until there dawns that glorious day. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT
