How Beauteous Are Their Feet

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal!. 2 How cheering is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior, King; He reigns and triumphs here!" 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound Which kings and prophets waited for And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God!

The church's one Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 913 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures 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 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, 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 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, To guide, sustain and cherish Is with her to the end; Though there be those that hate her, And false sons in her pale, Against or foe or traitor She ever shall prevail. 5 '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. 6 Yet she on earth hath union With the 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: Romans 12:5 Used With Tune: AURELIA
