See what a living stone
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #445 (1835) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christ the church's foundation Lyrics:
See what a living stone
The builders did refuse;
Yet God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envious Jews.
The scribe and angry priest
Reject thine only Son;
Yet on this Rock shall Zion rest,
As the chief corner-stone.
The work, O Lord, is thine,
And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.
This is the glorious day
That our Redeemer made;
Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray,
Let all the church be glad.
Hosanna to the King
Of David's royal blood;
Bless him, ye saints, he comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
We bless thine holy word,
Which all this grace displays;
And offer on thine altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.
Scripture: Psalm 118:22-27 Languages: English
See what a living stone
Lo! what a glorious corner-stone
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #446 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ the church's foundation Lyrics:
Lo! what a glorious corner-stone
The Jewish builders did refuse;
But God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envy and the Jews.
Great God, the work is all divine,
The joy and wonder of our eyes;
This is the day that proves it thine,
The day that saw our Savior rise.
Sinners, rejoice; and saints, be glad;
Hosanna, let his name be blest;
A thousand honors on his head,
With peace, and light, and glory rest!
In God's own name he comes to bring
Salvation to our dying race;
Let the whole church address their King
With hearts of joy and songs of praise.

Sprinkle me ever with Thy blood,
And cleanse, and keep me clean.

Wash me, and mine Thou art;
Wash me, but not my feet alone,
My hands, my head, my heart.

Till faith to sight improve,
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW

Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Doving Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #512 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Church--Foundation and nature First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand
even when steeples are falling;
Christ builds his church in ev'ry land;
bells still are chiming and calling,
calling the young and old to rest,
calling the souls of those distressed,
longing for life everlasting.
2 Not in a temple made with hands
God the Almighty is dwelling;
high in the heav'ns his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heav'n above
chooses to live with us in love,
making our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
built for his own habitation;
he fills our hearts, his humble thrones,
granting us life and salvation.
Yet to this place, an earthly frame,
we come with thanks to praise his name;
God grants his people true blessing.
4 Through all the passing years, O Lord,
grant that, when church bells are ringing,
many may come to hear God's word
where he this promise is bringing:
"I know my own, my own know me,
you, not the world, my face shall see;
my peace I lave with you." Amen. Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN

I Love Your Kingdom, Lord
Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #513 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Church--Foundation and nature Lyrics: 1 I love your kingdom, Lord,
the place of your abode,
the church our blessed Redeemer saved
with his own precious blood.
2 I love your church, O God!
Her walls before you stand,
dear as the apple of your eye,
and graven on your hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall,
for her my prayers ascend,
to her my cares and toils be give'n
till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heav'nly ways,
her sweet communion, solemn vows,
her hymns of love and praise.
5 Sure as your truth shall last,
to Zion shall be given
the brightest glories earth can yield,
and brighter bliss of heaven.
Scripture: 1 Kings 6:11-14 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS

The Church of Christ
Author: Augustus Gottlieb Spangenberg; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #516 (1995) Topics: Church--Foundation and nature First Line: The church of Christ, which he has hallowed here Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, which he has hallowed here
to be his house, is scattered far and near
in north, and south, and east, and west abroad;
and yet in earth and heav'n, thro' Christ, her Lord,
the church is one.
2 One member may not know another here,
and yet their fellowship is true and near;
one is their Savior, and their Father one;
one Spirit rules them, and among them none
lives to one's self.
3 They live to him who bought them with his blood,
baptized them with his Spirit, pure and good;
and in true faith and ever burning love,
their hearts and hopes ascend to seek above
th'eternal good.
4 O Spirt of the Lord, all life is yours;
now on your church your pow'r and strength out-pour,
that many children may be born to you
and through your knowledge may be brought anew
to sing Christ's praise. Scripture: Romans 12 Languages: English Tune Title: FIDEI UNITAS
