The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #654 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the word. From heav'n he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, yet one o’er all the earth, her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth: one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses with ev'ry grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder this world sees her oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up: “How long?” and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 Through toil and tribulation and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. Oh, blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by your grace, that we, like saints before us, may see you face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Author: Somerset C. Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #655 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior, source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us hallows all our human race, you our head, who, throned in glory, for your own will ever plead: fill us with your love and pity, heal our wrong, and help our need. 2 As you, Lord, have lived for others, so may we for others live. Freely have your gifts been granted; freely may your servants give. Yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of land and sea; we but stewards of your bounty held in solemn trust will be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of Love, and Prince of peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease. By your patient years of toiling, by your silent hours of pain, quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, stem our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us hallows all our human race: by your praying, by your willing that your people should be one, grant, oh, grant our hope’s fruition: here on earth your will be done.

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924; Bernhardt S. Ingemann, 1789-1862 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #355 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light; Pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence On his ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread. One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun. One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the one almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward, therefore, sisters, brothers; Onward, with the cross our aid. Bear its shame, and fight its battle Till we rest beneath its shade. Soon shall come the great awak'ning; Soon the rending of the tomb! Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

Make all our moments fair and bright! Oh, chase the night of sin away! Shed o'er the world your holy light. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON

Glories of Your Name Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #358 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Glories of your name are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed you for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, You may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply your sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river Ever will their thirst 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 deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Your name. Fading are the worldlings' pleasures All their boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasures None but Zion's children know. Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA
