I love to tell the story, Because I know 'tis true: It satisfies my longings As nothing else can do. 2 I love to tell the story; 'Tis pleasant to repeat, What seems, each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet. I love to tell the story, For some have never heard The message of salvation From God's own holy Word. 3 I love to tell the story; For those who know it best Seem hungering and thirsting To hear it, like the rest.

O sweet and blessed country that eager hearts expect! In mercy, Jesus, bring us to that dear land of rest, you are, with God the Father, and Spirit, ever blest.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Sameul J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 869 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation, By Spirit 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, Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 846 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever; that name to us is love. The United Methodist Hymnal Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs
