The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 873 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 2,301 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. Scripture: Galatians 3:28 Used With Tune: DENNIS
Blest Be the Tie That Binds
I Need Thee, Precious Jesus
Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 304 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 cleansing fountain
where I can always flee,
the blood of Christ most precious,
the sinner's perfect plea.
2 I need thee, precious Jesus,
for I am very poor;
a stranger and a pilgrim,
I have no earthly store.
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

O quickly come, dread Judge of all

Canst make thy scattered people one.

Can never cloud thy glorious reign.

And weakly souls begin to fall
With weary watching for the day:

No eye is blind, no night is known.

Jehovah is his name:
in pastures fresh he makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back
when I forsake his ways;
and leads me, for his mercy's sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death
his presence is my stay;
one word of his supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
His hand, in sight of all my foes,
doth still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows,
his oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
oh, may his house be my abode,
and all my work be praise.
There will I find reviving rest,
and freely go and come;
no more a stranger or a guest,
but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION Text Sources: Scripture text
