Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: The Church Its Worship and Praise of God 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 Sion's help forever, And her confidence alone; Holy Sion's help forever, 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; 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; 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 for ever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in thy glory Evermore with thee to reign; And hereafter in thy glory Evermore with thee to reign.

How Shall I Sing That Majesty

Author: John Mason (1645?-1694) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Praise of God Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir! Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I? 2 Thy brightness unto them appears, whilst I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face. They sing because thou art their sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun, there hallelujahs be. 3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart, inflame it with love's fire; then shall I sing and bear a part with that celestial choir. I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, with all my fire and light; yet when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite. 4 How great a being Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep: thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere. Scripture: Exodus 3:1-15 Used With Tune: HURRLE
