The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 884 hymnals Topics: Heritage 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 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees her 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 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.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: AURELIA

In spite of dungeon, fire and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy,
Whene'er we hear that glorious word:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
Refrain:
We will be true to Thee till death!
2 The martyrs, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
And truly blest would be our fate,
If we, like them, should die for Thee.
Faith of our martyrs, holy faith! [Refrain]
3 Faith of our mothers! Faith and prayer
Shall win all nations unto Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We shall all then indeed be free.
Faith of our mothers, holy faith! [Refrain]
4 Faith of our fathers! We will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how,
By kindly deeds and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith! [Refrain]

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,769 hymnals Topics: Heritage Lyrics: 1. O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2. My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of thy name.
3. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
4. He breaks the power of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
5. He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
6. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Savior come,
and leap, ye lame, for joy.
7. In Christ, your head, you then shall know,
shall feel your sins forgiven;
anticipate your heaven below,
and own that love is heaven. Used With Tune: AZMON

The Church of Christ, in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Heritage Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, in every age
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating word.

and is sifting out the hearts of all before the judgment seat;

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James W. Johnson Meter: 6.6.10.6.6.10.14.14.6.6.10 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Heritage African American First Line: Lift ev’ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise
high as the list’ning skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun
of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chast’ning rod,
felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet
come to the place for which our people sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path thro’ the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past,
till now we stand at last
where the bright gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus far on the way,
thou who hast by thy might
led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;
lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee;
shadowed beneath thy hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land. Scripture: Nehemiah 9 Used With Tune: ANTHEM
