Christ, We Come with Joy and Gladness
Author: Constance M. Cherry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Covenants Lyrics: 1 Christ, we come with joy and gladness
as we witness love made new;
hear the prayers of two united
as their lives are joined in You.
Seeking You to bond their marriage,
they are trusting You to be
in the cord which can't be broken,
giving them the strength of three.
2 Hope and joy and love abounding,
this our prayer for their success;
let the lives of these, our loved ones,
know the joy of those You bless.
Christ, our Shepherd, tend and keep them,
and Your peace and care be known.
May the world in which You place them
praise You as their love is shown. Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

My hope is built on nothing less
Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Appears in 1,109 hymnals Topics: Covenant Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness hides his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
oh, may I then in him be found
clothed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne! [Refrain]
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16
My hope is built on nothing less
Everlasting Love (Second part)
Author: Kent Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Covenant of Grace First Line: O! the mysterious depths of grace Lyrics: 1 O the mysterious depths of grace!
Who shall thy wandering mazes trace?
Surpassing human thought to know
Where this abyss of love shall flow.
2 ’Twas hid in God’s eternal breast,
For all his sons in Jesus blest,
Whose mystic members, from of old,
Were in the book of life enrolled.
3 [Shall one, as now in thy embrace,
Before tomorrow fall from grace;
Be doomed to Tophet’s endless flame,
Where hope or mercy never came?
4 No! glory to his name we say,
He’ll love tomorrow as today.
No wrath shall e’er his bosom move
Towards an object of his love.]
5 No heights of guilt, nor depths of sin,
Where his redeemed have ever been,
But sovereign grace was underneath,
And love eternal, strong as death.
6 Come, then, ye saints, in strains divine,
Rehearse the same in every line;
Nor fear to sing the charming lay;
You’ll sing the same another day.
7 No other song will be the employ
Of saints, in worlds of endless joy,
But loud hosannas round the throne,
To the great sacred Three-in-One.

Magnificat
Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Covenant/Law First Line: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord Lyrics: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
who has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me
and holy is his name.
God has mercy on those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
The Lord has shown strength with his arm
and scattered the proud in their conceit,
casting down the mighty from their thrones
and lifting up the lowly.
God has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the aid of his servant Israel,
to remember the promise of mercy,
the promise made to our forebears,
to Abraham and his children for ever. Scripture: Luke 1:47-55 Used With Tune: [My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord] Text Sources: The English translation of the Magnificat prepared by the English Language Liturgical Consultation (ELLC), 1988

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Church Covenanted; Covenant False; Covenant Making First Line: The mighty God, Jehovah, speaks Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, Jehovah speaks
And calls the earth from sea to sea;
From beauteous Zion God shines forth,
He comes and will not silent be;
Devouring flame before Him goes,
And dark the tempest round Him grows.
2 He calls aloud to heav'n and earth
That He may justly judge His own;
My chosen saints together bring
Who sacrifice to Me alone;
The heav'ns His righteousness declare,
For God Himself as Judge is there.
3 Hear, O my people, I will speak,
Against thee I will testify;
Give ear to me, O Israel,
For God, thy covenant God, am I;
I do not spurn thy sacrifice,
Thy off'rings are before My eyes.
4 I will receive from out thy fold
No off'ring for My holy shrine;
The cattle on a thousand hills
And all the forest beasts are Mine;
Each mountain bird to Me is known,
whatever roams the field I own.
5 Behold, if I should hungry grow,
I would not tell My need to thee,
Fro all the world itself is Mine,
And all its wealth belongs to Me;
Why should I aught of thee receive,
My thirst or hunger to relieve?
6 Bring thou to God the gift of thanks,
And pay thy vows to God most High;
Call ye upon My holy Name
In days when sore distress is nigh;
Deliverance I will send to thee,
And praises thou shalt give to Me.
