Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 211 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 First Line: No more, my God! I boast no more Lyrics: 1 No more, my God! I boast no more,
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of thy Son.

What was my gain, I count but loss;
My former pride I call my shame,
And nail my glory to his cross.

All things but loss for Jesus' sake;
Oh, may my soul be found in him,
And of his righteousness partake.

Dares not appear before thy throne;
But faith can answer thy demands,
By pleading what my Lord has done. Topics: Atonement Accepted; Christ Substitute Used With Tune: WARNER

And fainting hope almost expires,
To thee, O Lord, I lift my eyes;

And can my hope, my comfort die?

That word which built the earth and sky.
3 If my immortal Saviour lives,
Then my immortal life is sure;
His word a firm foundation gives;
Here may I build and rest secure.

Shall break a union so divine. Topics: Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Used With Tune: PARK STREET

Are offered by thy hands.

Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai Fredrik Severin Grundtvig, 1783-1872; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11-16 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.
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land;
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth 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 through baptismal grace us owns
Heirs of His wondrous salvation.
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Here stands the font before our eyes,
Telling how God has received us.
Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
And what His Supper here gives us.
Here sound the Scriptures that proclaim
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
And evermore, our Redeemer.
5 Grant, then, O God, Your will be done,
That, when the church bells are ringing,
Many in saving faith may come
Where Christ His message is bringing:
"I know MY own; My own know Me.
You, not the world, My face shall see.
My peace I leave with you. Amen."
