My Church! My dear old Church My fathers’ and my own! On prophets, and apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone; All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own. 2 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! My glory and my pride! Firm in the faith Immanuel taught, She holds no faith beside, Upon this rock, ‘gainst every shock, Though gates of hell assail, She stands secure, with promise sure, “They never shall prevail.” 3 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid a child of hers Should ever do her shame; Her mother care I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms, Shall call me to His own. 4 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! Thy child would add a vow To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow; Her mother care I'll ever share, Her child I am alone. My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 Mid 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long, that glorious Name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower, on all who pray, Each holy day Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.

With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply Thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows Thy thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a covering, 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 when they pray. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: RIPLEY
