The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: The Hymnbook #437 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Dedication Services Of a 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 endued.
3 '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.
4 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.
Amen. Scripture: Acts 20:28 Tune Title: AURELIA

With Joy I Heard My Friends Exclaim
Hymnal: The Hymnbook #439 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 With joy I heard my friends exclaim,
"Come, let us in God's temple meet;
Within thy gates, O Zion blest,
Shall ever stand our willing feet."
2 How beautiful doth Zion stand,
A city built compact and fair;
The people of the Lord unite
With joy and praise to worship there.
3 They come to learn the will of God,
To pay their vows, His grace to own,
For there is judgment's royal seat,
Messiah's sure and lasting throne.
4 For Zion's peace let prayer be made;
May all that love thee prosper well;
Within thy walls let peace abide,
And gladness with they children dwell.
5 For sake of friends and kindred dear,
My heart's desire is Zion's peace,
And for the house of God, the Lord,
My loving care shall never cease.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 122 Tune Title: MORNING HYMN (Boyce)

How Dear to Me, O Lord of Hosts
Hymnal: The Hymnbook #440 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 How dear to me, O Lord of Hosts,
The place where Thou dost dwell;
The tabernacles of Thy grace
In pleasantness excel.
2 My spirit longs, yea, even faints,
Thy sacred courts to see;
My thirsting heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for Thee.
3 Beneath Thy care the sparrow finds
A place of peaceful rest;
Where she may safely lay her young
The swallow finds a nest;
4 Then, Lord of Hosts, my King, my God,
Thy love will shelter me;
Beneath Thy altar's peaceful shade
My dwelling place shall be.
5 Blest they who dwell within Thy house,
Their perfect strength Thou art;
Their joyful praise shall never cease,
Thy ways are in their heart.
6 Their tears of grief, like early rain,
Sweet springs of joy shall fill;
With strength renewed they journey safe
To Zion's holy hill.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 84 Tune Title: IRISH

O Thou, whose hand has brought us
Author: Rev. Frederick William Goadby Hymnal: The Hymnal #473 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose hand hath brought us
Unto this joyful day,
Accept our glad thanksgiving,
And listen as we pray;
And may our preparation
For this day’s service be
With one accord to offer
Ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.
2 For this Thy house we praise Thee,
Reared at Thine own command,
For every generous bosom,
And every willing hand;
And now within Thy temple
Thy glory let us see,
For all its strength and beauty
Are nothing without Thee.
3 And oft as here we gather,
And hearts in worship blend,
May truth reveal its power,
And fervent prayers ascend;
Here may the busy toiler
Rise to the things above;
The young, the old, be strengthened,
And all men learn Thy love.
Amen. Tune Title: DAY OF REST
O Thou, whose hand has brought us
Faith of our fathers, taught of old
Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #479 (1986) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 D Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity; St. David, Patron of Wales March 1st; Saints of England November 8th; Dedication Festival; Common of Saints Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers, taught of old
By faithful shepherds of the fold.
The hallowing of our nation;
Thou wast through many a wealthy year,
Through many a darkened day of fear
The rock of our salvation.
Arise, arise, good Christian men,
Your glorious standard raise again,
The Cross of Christ who calls you;
Who bids you live and bids you die
For his great cause, and stands on high
To witness what befalls you.
2 *Our fathers heard the trumpet call
Through lowly cot and kingly hall
From oversea resounding:
They bowed their stubborn wills to learn
The truths that live, the thoughts that burn,
With new resolve abounding.
*Arise, arise, good Christian men,
Your glorious standard raise again,
The Cross of Christ who guides you;
Whose arm is bared to join the fray,
Who marshals you in stern array.
Fearless, whate'er betides you.
3 Our fathers held the faith received,
By Saints declared, by Saints believed.
By Saints in death defended;
Through pain of doubt and bitterness,
Through pain of treason and distress,
They for the right contended.
Arise, arise, good Christian men,
Your glorious standard raise again,
The Cross of Christ who bought you;
Who leads you forth in this new age
With long-enduring hearts to wage
The warfare he has taught you.
4 *Though frequent be the loud alarms,
Though still we march by ambushed arms
Of death and hell surrounded,
With Christ for chief we fear no foe,
Nor force nor craft can overthrow
The Church that he has founded.
*Arise, arise, good Christian men,
Your glorious standard raise again,
The Cross where with he signed you;
The King himself shall lead you on,
Shall watch you till the strife be done.
Then near his throne shall find you.
