The ground on which this day we stand

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Church on laying foundation stone of; Laying foundation stone of a church Lyrics: The ground on which this day we stand, Holy henceforth shall be, For thus, Lord God of sea and land, Thine own we render Thee. Maker and Builder Thou, of all Around us and above, 314 On Thine Almighty Name we call To crown our work of love. If, moved by Thee, in dust we lay A true foundation here, Though heaven and earth must pass away, Thy counsel shall appear. An earthly temple to Thy praise, Our labouring hands would pile; Do Thou a spiritual temple raise, Within its walls, the while. Of living stones that temple frame, Founded on Christ alone, Inscribed with His exalted name, By all men read and known. From thence, as time and tide roll by, May ransom'd souls ascend, Safe in their Father's home on high, Eternity to spend.

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.

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.

In vain the gates of hell assail, Impregnable is her defence; The rock of ages cannot fail, Nor winds, nor floods, remove her thence. 316 We build an earthly temple here; Behold the work with favouring eye, And when our hands the top-stone rear, "Grace, grace unto it," be the cry. 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.

He slumbers not, nor sleeps, Who His loved Israel keeps, Hallelunah! Happy the race Who through God's grace Shall have in her their dwelling place! 2 Zion's gates Jehovah loveth, And with especial grace approveth; He maketh fast her bolts and bars; Those who dwell in her He blesses, And comforts them in their distresses Who cast on Him their griefs and cares. How wonderful the grace With which He doth embrace All His people! City of God, How sweet the abode On which such blessings are bestowed! 3 Taught in thee is a salvation Unknown to every other nation; There great and holy things are heard; In the midst of thee abiding, Enlightening, comforting, and guiding, Thou hast the Spirit and the word; There breathing peace around Is heard the joyful sound, Grace and mercy! How sweet that is Which here speaks peace, There crowns with everlasting bliss. 4 Mother thou of every nation Which here hath sought and found salvation, O Zion, yet on earth shalt be: Hark, what shouts the air are rending? What cries to heaven's gates ascending! All our fresh springs shall be in thee. From thee the waters burst, To slake our burning thirst, Hallelujah! From sin and death God's own word saith That He alone delivereth. Used With Tune: [By the holy hills surrounded]
