Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,901 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
Let the water and the blood
from thy wounded side which flowed
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse from guilt and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law’s demands.
Could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone.
Thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring;
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress,
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Atonement; Death; Forgiveness; Redemption; Sin Used With Tune: TOPLADY

How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,127 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 First Line: How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!
What more can he say than to you he has 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 you, 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 in trouble 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 its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

Joy of heaven, to earth come down,

Pure, unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.

Let us all thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave:

Serve thee as thy hosts above,
Pray and praise thee without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.

Perfectly restored in thee--

Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; The Power of Divine Love

and grieved your heart of love.

refresh me with the radiant view
of Jesus and his word!

now set my spirit free;
O make me worship you alone,
and reign supreme in me.

my wand'rings be forgiv'n;
so shall his light mark out the road
that leads me at last to heav'n. Topics: Prayer; Confession of Sin; Forgiveness; Journey; Prayer Used With Tune: BEATITUDO Text Sources: rev. Hymns for Today's Church (1982)

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

in every high and stormy gale
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Topics: Trust in God; The Way of Salvation Justification; Christ Rock; Imputation of Righteousness Used With Tune: SOLID ROCK

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 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.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 727 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take the harvest home;
From his field shall in that day
All offences purge away,
Giving angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In God's garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your final harvest home;
Gather all your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, for ever purified,
In your presence to abide:
Come, with all thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.

Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
Author: Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Meter: 8.6.8.4 Appears in 560 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
his tender last farewell,
a guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came sweet influence to impart,
a gracious willing guest,
while he can find one humble heart
wherein to rest.
3 And his that gentle voice we hear,
soft as the breath of even,
that checks each thought, that calms each fear,
and speaks of heaven.
4 And every virtue we possess,
and every conquest won,
and every thought of holiness,
are his alone.
5 Spirit of purity and grace,
our weakness, pitying, see:
O make our hearts thy dwelling-place,
and worthier thee. Topics: Pentecost Used With Tune: ST CUTHBERT

the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered

the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine
and soft refreshing rain.
[Refrain:]
All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
for all his love.
2 He only is the Maker
of all things near and far;
he paints the wayside flower,
he lights the evening star;
the wind and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you then, O Father,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
for all your love imparts,
with what we know you long for:
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]
