The Church's one Foundation
Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: The Hymnal #333 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church 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 forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
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.
Amen. Tune Title: AURELIA
The Church's one Foundation
One holy Church of God appears
Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal #335 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 One holy Church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
2 From oldest time, on farthest shores,
Beneath the pine or palm,
One unseen Presence she adores,
With silence, or with psalm.
3 The truth is her prophetic gift,
The soul her sacred page;
And feet on mercy’s errands swift
Do make her pilgrimage.
4 O living Church, thine errand speed,
Fulfill thy task sublime;
With Bread of life earth’s hungers feed;
Redeem the evil time!
Amen. Tune Title: ST. JAMES
One holy Church of God appears
Christ is made the sure Foundation
Author: Rev. John M. Neale; Anon. Hymnal: The Hymnal #336 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the Head and Cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today:
With Thy wonted loving-kindness
Hear Thy people as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
4 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One,
One in might, and One in glory,
While unending ages run!
Amen. Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
Christ is made the sure Foundation
I love Thy Kingdom, Lord
Author: Rev. Timothy Dwight Hymnal: The Hymnal #337 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
2 I love Thy Church, O God:
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5 Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
I love Thy Kingdom, Lord
O where are kings and empires now
Author: Bishop A. Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Hymnal #334 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 O where are kings and empires now
Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God;
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad,
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. ANNE
O where are kings and empires now
How glorious Zion's courts appear
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: The Hymnal #340 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 How glorious Zion’s courts appear,
The city of our God!
His throne He hath established here,
Here fixed His loved abode.
2 Its wall, defended by His grace
No power shall e’er o’erthrow,
Salvation is its bulwark sure
Against th’ assailing foe.
3 Lift up the everlasting gates,
The doors wide open fling!
Enter, ye nations, who obey
The statutes of our King.
4 Trust in the Lord, forever trust,
And banish all your fears;
Strength In the Lord Jehovah dwells
Eternal as His years.
Amen. Tune Title: IRISH
How glorious Zion's courts appear
City of God, how broad and far
Author: Rev. Samuel Johnson Hymnal: The Hymnal #338 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 City of God, how broad and far
Outspread thy walls sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are
Of every age and clime.
2 How purely hath thy speech come down
From man's primeval youth;
How grandly hath thine empire grown
Of freedom, love, and truth!
3 How gleam thy watch fires through the night
With never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
To meet the dawning day!
4 In vain the surge's angry shock,
In vain, the drifting sands:
Unharmed upon th' eternal Rock
Th' eternal city stands.
Amen. Tune Title: MIRFIELD
City of God, how broad and far
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal #339 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode:
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal Love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage;
Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver,
Never fails from age to age?
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.
Amen. Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould; Bernhard S. Ingemann Hymnal: The Hymnal #345 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church and the Sacraments Christian Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the Promised Land:
Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God's own presence
O'er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread;
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires;
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one,
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun;
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the One Almighty Father
Reigns in love forevermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward, with the cross our aid;
Bear its shame, and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade;
Soon shall come the great awaking,
Soon the rending of the tomb,
Then the scattering of all shadows
And the end of toil and gloom.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. ASAPH
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
For the bread, which Thou hast broken
Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnal #359 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 For the bread, which Thou hast broken;
For the wine, which Thou hast poured;
For the words, which Thou hast spoken;
Now we give Thee thanks, O Lord.
2 By this pledge that Thou dost love us,
By Thy gift of peace restored,
By Thy call to heaven above us,
Hallow all our lives, O Lord.
3 With our sainted ones in glory
Seated at our Father's board,
May the Church that waiteth for Thee
Keep love's tie unbroken, Lord.
4 In Thy service, Lord, defend us,
In our hearts keep watch and ward,
In the world where Thou dost send us
Let Thy Kingdom come, O Lord.
Amen. Tune Title: AGAPE
For the bread, which Thou hast broken
