Now I have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds mine anchor ever sure; ’Twas laid before the world’s creation In Christ my Savior’s wounds secure; Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav’n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending Which human wisdom far transcends, Of Him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break Whether we seek Him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God hath not intended, For our salvation He hath yearned; For this His Son to earth descended And then to heav’n again returned; For this so patient evermore He knocketh at our heart’s closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus’ blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 I never will forget this crying; In faith I’ll trust it all my days, And when o’er all my sins I’m sighing, Into the Father’s heart I’ll gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure That makes my soul and body glad And be deprived of earthly treasure And be forsaken, lone, and sad, Though my desire for help seem vain, His mercy shall with me remain. 7 Though earthly trials should oppress me And cares from day to day increase; Though earth’s vain things should sore distress me And rob me of my Savior’s peace; Though I be brought down to the dust, Still in His mercy I will trust. 8 When all my deeds I am reviewing, The deeds that I admire the most, I find in all my thought and doing That there is naught whereof to boast. Yet this sweet comfort shall abide-- In mercy I can still confide. 9 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While He my restless heart is stilling, May I His mercy not forget! Come weal, come woe, my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 10 I’ll stand upon this firm foundation As long as I on earth remain; This shall engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain; And then, when face to face with Thee, I’ll sing of mercy, great and free. Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND Text Sources: Tr. composite

I Know My Faith Is Founded

Author: Erdmann Neumeister, 1671-1756 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Lyrics: 1 I know my faith is founded on Jesus Christ, my God and Lord; and this my faith confessing, unmoved I stand upon his Word. Our reason cannot fathom the truth of God profound; who trusts in worldly wisdom relies on shifting ground. God's Word is all-sufficient, it makes divinely sure, and, trusting in its wisdom, my faith shall rest secure. 2 Increase my faith, dear Savior, for Satan seeks by night and day to rob me of this treasure and take my hope of bliss away. But, Lord, with you beside me I shall be undismayed; and led by your good Spirit, I shall be unafraid. Abide with me, O Savior, a firmer faith bestow; then I shall bid defiance to ev'ry evil foe. 3 In faith, Lord, let me serve you; though persecution, grief, and pain should seek to overwhelm me, let me a steadfast trust retain. And then at my departure, at home with you I'll be, and there will I inherit all you have promised me. In life and death, Lord, keep me until your heav'n I gain, where I by your great mercy the end of faith attain.

On What Foundation?

Author: P. P. Bliss Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 First Line: On what foundation do you build, neighbor Refrain First Line: On what foundation do you build, neighbor Lyrics: 1 On what foundation do you build, neighbor, Your hopes for the future fair? Do your walls reach down to the rock below, And rest securely there? Sad wrecks be 'round you on the sand, neighbor, The floods and the storms are near; Will the strong blast hurl to the earth thy walls, Or blanch thy cheek with fear? Chorus: On what foundation do you build, neighbor, Your hopes for the future fair? Do your walls reach down to the rock below, And rest securely there? 2 On sure foundation would you build, neighbor? Take heed to the Lord's commands; Ever fast and firm, while the storms go by, This Rock of Ages stands. Alas, what folly 'tis to build, neighbor, A mansion so fair, so grand, With its costly walls and its lofty towers, On Sin's delusive sand! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [On what foundation do you build, neighbor]
