The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 885 hymnals Topics: Blessed Hope 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 both foe and traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 '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. 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. Scripture: Ephesians 2:20-22 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,345 hymnals Topics: Blessed Hope Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we are called to part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way, while each in expectation lives and waits to see that day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.

Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 307 hymnals Topics: Blessed Hope Lyrics: 1 I need thee, precious Jesus, for I am full of sin; my soul is dark and guilty, my heart is dead within.

I need the love of Jesus to cheer me on my way, to guide my doubting footsteps, to be my strength and stay. 3 I need thee, precious Jesus, and hope to see thee soon, encircled with the rainbow and seated on thy throne. There, with thy blood-bought children, my joy shall ever be, to sing my Jesus' praises, to gaze, O Lord, on thee. Scripture: Psalm 39:12 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
