Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the Church in one;
holy Zion’s help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
2 All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody;
God the One in Three adoring
in glad hymns eternally.
3 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee of gain;
what they gain from thee, for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.

God the Lord Is King
Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God the Lord is King: before him
earth with all your nations, wait!
Where the cherubim adore him
sits our God in royal state.
He is holy; he is holy;
blessed, only Potentate!
2 God the Lord is King of glory;
Zion, tell the world his fame;
ancient Israel, the story
of his faithfulness proclaim:
He is holy; he is holy;
holy is his awesome name.
3 Laws divine to them were spoken
from the pillar of the cloud;
sacred precepts quickly broken;
fiercely then his vengeance flowed.
He is holy; he is holy;
to the dust their hearts were bowed.
4 But their Father, God, forgave them
when they sought his face once more:
ever ready was to save them,
tenderly did he restore.
He is holy; he is holy;
we too will his grace implore.

Worship God for Saints Before Us
Author: Rusty Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Worship God for saints before us;
all who gave our church its birth.

As we now by faith move forward,
praise the Lord of heav'n and earth.

filled with joy for faith today.
Though not seeing, yet believing
in the Truth, the Life, and Way.
As we now by faith move forward,
Christ our Lord we will obey.

love and trust the God of grace.
May we grow in hopeful living,
may we know God's strong embrace.
We will still by faith move forward,
till we meet God face to face. Topics: Martyrs and All Saints; Christian year-All Saints; Church--Foundation and nature; Martyrs; Moravian festivals--July 9; Steadfastness Scripture: Romans 4:16-25 Used With Tune: EDEN CHURCH

Lord, Who Left the Highest Heaven
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven
for a homeless human birth
and, a child within a stable,
came to share the life of earth -
with your grace and mercy bless
all who suffer homelessness.
2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness
refuge under foreign skies
from the swords of Herod's soldiers,
ravaged homes and parents' cries -
may your grace and mercy rest
on the homeless and oppressed.
3 Lord, who lived secure and settled,
safe within the Father's plan,
and in wisdom, stature, favor
growing up from boy to man -
with your grace and mercy bless
all who strive for holiness.
4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred,
followed still as duty led,
sky the roof and earth the pillow
for the Prince of glory's head -
with your grace and mercy bless
sacrifice for righteousness.
5 Lord, who in your cross and passion
hung beneath a darkened sky,
yet whose thoughts were for your mother,
and a thief condemned to die -
may your grace and mercy rest
on the helpless and distressed.
6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant
with our whole salvation won,
risen, glorified, ascended,
all the Father's purpose done -
may your grace, all conflict past,
bring your children home at last. Topics: Peace and Justice; Christ--Life and ministry of; Justice; Social ministry; Suffering Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Used With Tune: EDEN CHURCH
