Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 296 hymnals Topics: Acts of the Church Installation Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord and precious, Binding all the church in one; Holy Zion's help forever, And her confidence alone. 2 To this temple, where we call you, Come, O Lord of Hosts, today! With your wonted loving-kindness Hear your people as they pray, And your fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 3 Here bestow on all your servants What they ask of you to gain: What they gain from you forever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in your glory Evermore with you to reign. 4 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-21 Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Latin Hymn, ca. 7th century

Give me the faith which can remove and sink the mountain to a plain; give me the childlike praying love, which longs to build thy house again; thy love, let it my heart o'er-power, and all my simple soul devour. 2. I would the precious time redeem, and longer live for this alone, to spend and to be spent for them who have not yet my Savior known; fully on these my mission prove, and only breathe, to breathe thy love. 3. My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, into thy blessed hands receive; and let me live to preach thy word, and let me to thy glory live; my every sacred moment spend in publishing the sinner's Friend. 4. Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart with boundless charity divine, so shall I all my strength exert, and love them with a zeal like thine, and lead them to thy open side, the sheep for whom the Shepherd died.

Your hand, in sight of all my foes, Does still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, And all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come; No more a stranger, or a guest, But like a child at home. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
