The Church

Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #271 (1995) Topics: God's Church Foundation First Line: Within the whole family of God on earth Lyrics: Within the whole family of God on earth, the church appears wherever believers in Jesus the Christ are gathered in his name. Transcending all barriers within the human family, the one church manifests itself in ordered communities bound together for worship, fellowship, and service; in varied structures for mission, witness, and mutual accountability; and for the nurture and renewal of its members. The nature of the church, given by Christ, remains constant through the generations, yet in faithfulness to its nature, it continues to discern God’s vision and to adapt its mission and structures to the needs of a changing world. All dominion in the church belongs to Jesus, its Lord and head, and any exercise of authority in the church on earth stands under his judgment. Languages: English

On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal Love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age! 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord in near! Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20 Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN

Amen. Tune Title: ST. THOMAS

Great is the Lord our God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #280 (1899) Topics: Church Foundation of Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the Church His own abode, His most delightful seat, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress; How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces! Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We'll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER

Father of glory, God of grace

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #298 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Laying foundation stone of a church and cemetery Lyrics: Father of glory, God of grace! An house of prayer to Thee we build; Oft may the consecrated place, Be with Thy grace and glory fill'd. Lord of the living and the dead, When here the dead and living meet, The fullness of Thy blessing shed, On all who seek Thy mercy-seat. While those who sleep in Jesus, rest In kindred dust and ashes near, This thought--their souls in heaven are blest! The hearts of mourning friends shall cheer. They lived by faith, in hope they died, The Cross behind their Saviour bore, And in His footsteps trod, to guide Their followers where He trod before. 318 We live,--Oh! let the living praise The goodness that prolongs our breath; We die,--die daily; all our days Be preparation-days for death. Come, then, that end of mortal strife, We on Christ's faithful word rely,-- "The Resurrection and the Life!" Who trust in Him shall never die. Languages: English

This stone to Thee in faith we lay

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #300 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Laying foundation stone of a place of worship Lyrics: This stone to Thee in faith we lay, We build the temple, Lord, to Thee; Thine eye be open night and day, To guard this house and sanctuary. Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear, Thou in heaven Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, O forgive! Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed Gospel of Thy Son, Still, by the power of His great Name, Be mighty signs and wonders done. 320 Hosanna! to their heavenly king, When children's voices raise that song; Hosanna! let their angels sing, And heaven with earth the strain prolong. But will indeed Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest? Here will the world's Redeemer reign, And here the Holy Spirit rest? That glory never hence depart! Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart, In every bosom fix Thy throne. Languages: English
