Join we with the saints of old, no more strangers in the fold, one the Shepherd who us sought, one the flock his blood has bought. 2 One our Master, one alone, none but Christ as Lord we own; "brethren of his law" are we — “As I loved you, so love ye.” Branches we in Christ, the Vine, living by his life divine; as the Father with the Son, so, in Christ, we all are one. 3 One the name in which we pray, one our Savior day by day; with one cup and with one bread thus one cov'nant way we tread. One in spirit, one in life, one amid earth’s frequent strife, one in faith and one in love, one in hope of heav'n above.

Then, by the Spirit of Thy might, Come with the Gospel's joyful sound, And here reveal'd in Thine own light, Be Thou by all who seek Thee found. Lord! we have loved Thy dwelling-place, Thy Mercy-seat with men below, Here then, to all who seek Thy face, From age to age Thy goodness show.

Praise the Rock of our salvation

Author: B. Webb Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: The Church Foundation and Nature Lyrics: 1 Praise the Rock of our salvation, Laud His name from zone to zone; On that rock the Church is builded, Christ himself the corner-stone; Vain against our rock-built Zion Winds and waters, fire and hail; Christ is in her midst; against her Sin and hell shall not prevail. 2 Built of living stones, cemented By the Spirit's unity, Based on prophets and apostles, Firm in faith and stayed on Thee, May Thy Church, O Lord Incarnate, Grow in grace, in peace, in love; Emblem of the heavenly Zion, The Jerusalem above. 3 Where Thou reignest, King of Glory, Throned in everlasting light, Midst Thy saints, no more is needed Sun by day, nor moon by night: Soon may we those portals enter When this earthly strife is o'er; There to dwell with saints and angels, In Thy presence evermore.

Father of glory, God of grace

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Laying foundation stone of a church and cemetery Lyrics: Father of glory, God of grace! An house of prayer to Thee we build; Oft may the consecrated place, Be with Thy grace and glory fill'd. Lord of the living and the dead, When here the dead and living meet, The fullness of Thy blessing shed, On all who seek Thy mercy-seat. While those who sleep in Jesus, rest In kindred dust and ashes near, This thought--their souls in heaven are blest! The hearts of mourning friends shall cheer. They lived by faith, in hope they died, The Cross behind their Saviour bore, And in His footsteps trod, to guide Their followers where He trod before. 318 We live,--Oh! let the living praise The goodness that prolongs our breath; We die,--die daily; all our days Be preparation-days for death. Come, then, that end of mortal strife, We on Christ's faithful word rely,-- "The Resurrection and the Life!" Who trust in Him shall never die.
