Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #300 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3 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 for ever,
and her confidence alone.
2 All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody;
God the One-in-Three adoring
in glad hymns eternally.
3 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of hosts, today;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
5 Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever three, and ever one,
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church; Gathering of the Community; Ordination Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

Faith Is the Victory
Author: John H. Yates Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #134 (1997) Scripture: Hebrews 11 First Line: Encamped along the hills of light Lyrics: 1 Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise,
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foe in vales below,
Let all our strength be hurled;
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
Chorus:
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory
That overcomes the world.
2 His banner over us is love,
Our sword the Word of God;
We tread the road the saints above
With shouts of triumph trod.
By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath,
Swept on o'er ev'ry field;
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield. [Chorus]
3 On ev'ry hand the foe we find
Drawn up in dread array;
Let tents of ease be left behind,
And - onward to the fray.
Salvation's helmet on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,
And echo with our shout. [Chorus]
4 To him who overcomes the foe
White raiment shall be giv'n;
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in heav'n.
Then onward from the hills of light,
Our hearts with love aflame;
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus' conq'ring name. [Chorus] Topics: Faith; Warfare & Victory Languages: English Tune Title: [Encamped along the hills of light]

Of the Father's love begotten
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 348-413; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #486 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Scripture: Hebrews 11:3 Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten,
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega;
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.
2 By his word they were created;
he commanded; it was done:
heav'en and earth and depths of ocean,
in their threefold order one;
all that grows beneath the shining
of the light of moon and sun,
evermore and evermore.
3 O that birth for ever blessèd
when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Saviour of our race,
and the babe, the world’s Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
4 O ye heights of heav'n, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
pow'rs, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King:
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.
5 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord;
whom the writings of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let our songs declare his worth,
evermore and evermore. Topics: Christmas; Year A Christ the King; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Languages: English Tune Title: CORDE NATUS (DIVINYM MYSTERIUM)

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #275 (1998) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see:
crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest:
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne?
What are the peace and the joy that they own?
O that the blest ones, who in it have share,
all that they feel could as fully declare!
3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
vision of peace, that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er,
nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
6 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
praise to the Father, and praise to the Son,
praise to the Spirit, with them ever one. Topics: Communion of Saints Languages: English Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA

Hymn 120
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.120 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11 First Line: Faith is the brightest evidence Lyrics:
Faith is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight,
Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense,
And dwells in heav'nly light.
It sets times past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.
By faith we know the worlds were made
By God's almighty word;
Abram, to unknown countries led,
By faith obeyed the Lord.
He sought a city fair and high,
Built by th' eternal hands,
And faith assures us, though we die,
That heav'nly building stands.
