The Church

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: God's Church Foundation First Line: Within the whole family of God on earth Lyrics: Within the whole family of God on earth, the church appears wherever believers in Jesus the Christ are gathered in his name. Transcending all barriers within the human family, the one church manifests itself in ordered communities bound together for worship, fellowship, and service; in varied structures for mission, witness, and mutual accountability; and for the nurture and renewal of its members. The nature of the church, given by Christ, remains constant through the generations, yet in faithfulness to its nature, it continues to discern God’s vision and to adapt its mission and structures to the needs of a changing world. All dominion in the church belongs to Jesus, its Lord and head, and any exercise of authority in the church on earth stands under his judgment.

With songs of sacred joy

Author: Doddridge Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Church Her Foundation and Nature Lyrics: 1 With songs of sacred joy Extol His glorious Name, Who reared the spacious earth, And raised our ruined frame. He built the Church who spread the sky; Sing and exalt His honors high. 2 See the Foundation laid By Power and Love divine; Jesus, His first-born Son, How bright His glories shine! Low He descends, in dust He lies, That from His tomb a Church might rise. 3 But He for ever lives, Nor for Himself alone: Each saint new life derives From Him the living Stone. His influence spreads through every soul, And in one house unites the whole. 4 To Him with joy we move; In Him cemented stand; The living temple grows, And owns the Founder's hand. That Structure, Lord, still higher raise, Louder to sound its Builder's praise. Used With Tune: ST. PETER'S, MANCHESTER

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Church Foundation and Nature; The Church Foundation and Nature Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth; Present pardon, peace, and blessing, While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above, Freely given us with salvation, By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies: In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory, Jesus Christ is all in all.
