Blessèd city, heavenly Salem
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #208 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: 1 Kings 8:28-30 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Blessèd city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move.
2 From celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashionèd.
3 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who for Christ's dear name in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
4 Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
PART TWO -
5 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the Head and corner-stone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
6 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.
PART THREE -
7 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
8 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.

Trust Thee with my soul,
Guilty, lost and helpless,
Thou canst make me whole:
There is none in heaven
Or on earth like Thee:
Thou hast died for sinners,
Therefore, Lord, for me.

Jesus, I will trust Thee,
Trust Thee with my soul,
Guilty, lost and helpless,
Thou canst make me whole.
2 Jesus, I must trust Thee,
Pondering Thy ways,
Full of love and mercy
All Thine earthly days;
Sinners gathered round Thee,
Lepers sought Thy face:
None too vile or loathsome
For a Savior's grace. (Refrain)

Trust without a doubt,
Whosoever cometh,
Thou wilt not cast out:
Faithful is Thy promise,
Precious is Thy blood:
These my soul's salvation,
Thou my Savior God! (Refrain)

The Condescension of God
Hymnal: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, Vol. 1 #65 (1760) Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27 First Line: Eternal pow'r, almighty God Lyrics:
I. Eternal pow'r, almighty God,
Who can approach thy throne?
Accessless light is thy abode,
To angel-eyes unknown.
II. Before the radiance of thine eye
The heav'ns no longer shine,
And all the glories of the sky
Are but the shade of thine.
III. Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To cast a look below,
To this vile world thy notice bend,
These seats of sin and woe?
IV. But oh! to shew thy smiling face,
To bring thy glories near—
Amazing and transporting grace
To dwell with mortals here!
V. How strange! how awful is thy love!
With trembling we adore:
Not all th' exalted minds above
Its wonders can explore.
VI. While golden harps, and angel tongues
Resound immortal lays,
Great God, permit our humble songs
To rise and mean thy praise. Languages: English
The Condescension of God
God Has Spoken by the Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #667 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 Kings 8:20 Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by the prophets,
spoken the unchanging Word,
each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord!
'Mid the world's despair and turmoil
one firm anchor holding fast:
God eternal reigns forever,
God the first and God the last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 God is speaking by the Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the age-long Word declaring
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, the Word unchanging,
God the first and God the last.
