Hark! the Church proclaims her honor
Author: Samuel Preiswerk; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #192 (1908) Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 Hark! the Church proclaims her honor,
And her strength is only this:
God hath laid His choice upon her,
And the work she doth is His.
And the work she doth is His.
2 He His Church hath firmly founded,
He will guard what He began;
We by sin and foes surrounded,
Build her bulwarks as we can.
3 Onward, then! for naught despairing,
Calm we follow at His Word,
Thus through joy and sorrow bearing
Faithful witness to our Lord.
4 Though we here must strive in weakness,
Though in tears we often bend,
What His might began in meekness
Shall achieve a glorious end. Languages: English Tune Title: SULLIVAN
Hark! the Church proclaims her honor
The Church's one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #195 (1917) Topics: Church Christ, the foundation of; Foundation The Church's; Church Christ, the foundation of; Foundation The Church's; Church Militant; Church Triumphant; The Church and the Kingdom of God The Church Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word:
From heaven 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 every 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 every grace endured.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore opprest,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distrest,
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 'Mid toil, and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
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:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.

There's a Church within Us, O Lord
Author: Kent Schneider Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #208 (1974) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Church Faith and Worship Lyrics: 1 There's a church within us, O Lord;
There's a church within us, O Lord;
Not a building, but a soul,
Not a portion, but a whole;
There's a church within us, O Lord.
2 There's potential within us, O Lord;
Something stirring within us, O Lord;
Something straining to have birth,
To be visible on earth,
There's potential within us, O Lord.
3 There's a fire within us, O Lord;
A new life a-burning, O Lord;
A new fire for a life,
Combatting present strife,
There's a fire within us, O Lord.
4 There's some building to be done, O Lord;
There's some building to be done, O Lord;
Not with steel, not with stone,
But with lives which are Your own,
There's the church to be built, O Lord.
5 There's the church within us, O Lord;
There's the church within us, O Lord;
Not a building but one soul,
not a portion, but a whole,
We are Your church in the world.
