Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #559 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: The Nature of the Church United in Christ Lyrics: 1. Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone;
chosen of the Lord and precious,
binding all the church in one;
holy Zion's help forever,
and her confidence alone.
2. To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, today!
With thy faithful loving-kindness
hear thy people as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
3. Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain;
what they gain from thee forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
4. Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one;
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run.

For the Fruits of This Creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #97 (1989) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Topics: The Nature of the Church Called to God's Mission Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of this creation,
thanks be to God;
for good gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the plowing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labor,
God's will is done;
in the help we give our neighbor,
God's will is done;
in our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God.

Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #555 (1989) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Topics: The Nature of the Church United in Christ Lyrics: 1. Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine;
gifts in differing measure,
hearts of one accord,
manifold the service,
one the sure reward.
Refrain:
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
2. Wider grows the kingdom,
reign of love and light;
for it we must labor,
till our faith is sight.
Prophets have proclaimed it,
martyrs testified,
poets sung its glory,
heroes for it died. [Refrain]
3. Not alone we conquer,
not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph
lose or triumph all.
Bound by God's far purpose
in one living whole,
move we on together
to the shining goal. [Refrain]

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #511 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Nature of 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 heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth has union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O blessed heav'nly chorus!
Lord, save us by your grace
that we, like saints before us,
may see you face to face. Scripture: Matthew 21:42 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Doving Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #512 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Nature of the Church First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand
even when steeples are falling;
Christ builds his church in ev'ry land;
bells still are chiming and calling,
calling the young and old to rest,
calling the souls of those distressed,
longing for life everlasting.
2 Not in a temple made with hands
God the Almighty is dwelling;
high in the heav'ns his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heav'n above
chooses to live with us in love,
making our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
built for his own habitation;
he fills our hearts, his humble thrones,
granting us life and salvation.
Yet to this place, an earthly frame,
we come with thanks to praise his name;
God grants his people true blessing.
4 Through all the passing years, O Lord,
grant that, when church bells are ringing,
many may come to hear God's word
where he this promise is bringing:
"I know my own, my own know me,
you, not the world, my face shall see;
my peace I lave with you." Amen. Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN

Christ's living body,
loving the whole human race. Scripture: Romans 12 Languages: English Tune Title: WHITFIELD

as countless more legions in heaven above
extol how his grace them attended.
2 Yet, Lord, you summon us anew
to grasp the task unfinished.
Christ's saving word, forever true,
must press on undiminished.

in our day apostles to carry salvation
so that its almighty and life-giving ray
may brightly shine forth in each nation. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4 Languages: English Tune Title: THY MAJESTY
