How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Author: Authorship doubtful Appears in 2,202 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Refuge Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! What more can He say, than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee thy trials to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose, I will not--I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling

Author: Mrs. Mary A. Thomson, 1834- Appears in 469 hymnals Topics: Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That He who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night: 2 Behold, how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Saviour's dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. 3 'Tis thine to save, from peril of perdition, The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfil thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown. 4 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. 5 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious, Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way, Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious And haste the coming of the glorious day. 6 He comes again O Zion, ere thou meet Him, Make known to every heart His saving grace; Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face.

Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

Would He devote that sacred head For such an one as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do. Amen. Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME
