Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love, When ransomed from the grave. He that redeemed my soul from death Hath sovereign power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for the opprest. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known, But sent the world His truth and grace By His belovèd Son.

Lyrics: 1 My Church! my Church! my dear old Church! My fathers’ and my own! On prophets, and apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone! All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own! 2 My Church! my Church! my dear old Church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid, a child of hers Should ever do her shame! Her mother-care I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms Shall call me to His own. 3 My Church! my Church! I love my Church, For she doth lead me on To Zion’s palace beautiful, Where Christ my Lord hath gone. From all below she bids me go To Him, the Life, the Way, The Truth to guide my erring feet From darkness into day. 4 Then here, my Church! my dear old Church! Thy child would add a vow, To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow:-- Assault who may, kiss and betray, Dishonor and disown, My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own! Amen. Used With Tune: ATHENS Text Sources: Anonymous

Jesus, glorious King of kings, Deigns to call me His beloved, Lets me rest beneath His wings. Used With Tune: ELLERKER

Today we call to mind the things that time cannot erode: what God, Creator of the world, is doing for our good. 2 What changes, challenges, and tests the church of Christ survives! How rich the records left to us of dedicated lives! Still must the church proclaim to all, that now, and evermore, the house of God is open house, and Christ the Open Door. 3 Of all our labors who can say what harvest there shall be, when time, that limits and distorts, becomes eternity? Then shall our hymns, rehearsed below, be perfect praise above, as, face to face, we fully know what this means: God is love! Used With Tune: OPEN DOOR

Glories of Your Name Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,349 hymnals Topics: Dedication of a Church Lyrics: 1 Glories of your name are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed you for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, You may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply your sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river Ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Your name. Fading are the worldlings' pleasures All their boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasures None but Zion's children know. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
