Christ is our cornerstone

Hymnal: Church Hymnal, Fourth Edition #449 (1960) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Languages: English

Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624-1683 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #458 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love to me, love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from his blest throne salvation to bestow, but men made strange, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But O my friend, my friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his strong praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet steadfast he to suffering goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 6 In life no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heaven was his home; but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

Christ Is Our Cornerstone

Author: John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #459 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our cornerstone on him alone we build; with his true saints alone the courts of heaven are filled. On his great love our hopes we place of present grace and joys above. 2 O then, with hymns of praise these hallowed courts shall ring. Our voices we will raise the Three-in-One to sing, and thus proclaim in joyful song, both loud and long, that glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do thou for evermore draw nigh; accept each faithful vow, and mark each suppliant sigh. In copious shower on all who pray, each holy day thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven the grace which we implore; and may that grace, once given, be with us evermore, until that day when all the blest to endless rest are called away.

O who am I, that for my sake, my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne, salvation to bestow; but man refused, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But O, my friend, my friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his sweet praises sing; resounding all the day hosannas to their King: then, 'Crucify!' is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'against him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful he to suff'ring goes, and he his foes from thence might free. 6 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my friend in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend.

Ye holy angels bright

Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-191 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #475 (1986) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 YE holy angels bright, Who wait at God's right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord's command, Assist our song, For else the theme Too high doth seem For mortal tongue. 2 Ye blessèd souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face, God's praises sound, As in his sight With sweet delight Ye do abound. 3 Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! 4 My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise. Topics: Michaelmas Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH
