Built on the Rock

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; C. Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: ELH1996 #211 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth 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 whom heav'ns cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His 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 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forthtelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 6 Here stands the font before our eyes, Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today, the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That, when the church-bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: "I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see; My peace I leave with you, Amen."

Yea, long before their plans have been completed, They are defeated. 4 'Tis vain to trust in man; for Thou, Lord, only Art the Defense and Comfort of the lonely. With Thee to lead, the battle shall be glorious And we victorious. 5 Thou art our Hero, all our foes subduing; Save Thou Thy little flock they are pursuing. We seek Thy help; for Jesus' sake be near us. Great Helper, hear us! Topics: Church Militant; Epiphany 5 Languages: English

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: J. Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: ELH1996 #214 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed thee for His own abode. 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 t'assuage-- Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, Light by night and shade by day, Daily on the manna feeding Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled With thorns and thistles filled. 'Tis true, Thy plants are there; But, ah, how weak and rare! How slight the pow'r in evidence Of Word and Sacraments! 2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate Thy vineyard's sad estate; Baptized are millions in Thy name, But where is faith's pure flame? Of what avail that we Know of Thine agony So long as we do not o'erthrow In faith the wicked foe? 3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light, We cry by day, by night: Come, grant us of the light and pow'r Our fathers had of yore; When Thy dear Church did stand A tree, deep-rooted, grand; Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow, With purple fruits aglow!

Of Zion's Honor Angels Sing

Author: E. Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: ELH1996 #216 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing! In Zion Christ alone is King; In grace He rules with gentle sway, And leads her heavenward, day by day. 2 For Zion knows no other Lord, But cleaves to His unerring Word: To her suffices: Jesus saith! This is her source and rule of faith. 3 To her He gave the Pow'r of Keys, To bind and loose as He decrees; Through her declares sins forgiv'n That we may be fit heirs of heav'n. 4 Apostles, prophets, He hath sent To her with Word and Sacrament, And still sends servants of the Word To serve the Church and Christ, her Lord. 5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Adored by all the heav'nly host, We bow in Zion at Thy throne— No other God and Lord we own.

Wake, arise, O mighty nation, Ere the foe on Zion tread; He draws nigh and would defy All the hosts of God Most High. 2 Saints and heroes long before us Firmly on this ground have stood; See their banners waving o’er us, Conqu'rors through the Savior's blood. Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great name; we cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward, When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord; "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea.

In life and death I cling to Thee; O do not let me perish! Let not Thy grace from me depart And grant an ever patient heart To bear what Thou dost send me. 2 Grant honor, truth, and purity, And love Thy Word to ponder; From all false doctrine keep me free. Bestow, both here and yonder, What serves my everlasting bliss; Preserve me from unrighteousness Throughout my earthly journey. 3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave This vale of sin and sadness, Give me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve, But to depart with gladness. To Thee my spirit I commend; O Lord, grant me a blessed end Through Jesus Christ, my Savior. Topics: Election; Epiphany 5 Languages: English Tune Title: HERR, WIE DU WILLST
