How Firm a Foundation

Author: "K" Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,204 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 8 Year C First Line: How firm a foundation, you servants of God Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you servants of God, is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can be said than to you has been said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with you; O be not dismayed! For I am your God and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand, upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; for I will be with you, your troubles to bless, and sanctify to you your deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie, my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply: the flame shall not hurt you, I only design your dross to consume, and your gold to refine. 5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose I will not -- I will not desert to his foes; that soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never -- no, never -- no, never forsake!"

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 8 Year B Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 883 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 8 Year B Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the word: from heaven 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 every 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 every grace endued. 3 '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 blessed, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union with 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. Used With Tune: AURELIA
