Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 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 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 people as they pray;
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
4 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.
5 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.

How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,125 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in God's excellent Word!
What more can be said than to you God hath said,
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath 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."

Christ is our Corner-stone
Author: Chandler Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone--
On him alone we build;
With his true saints alone
The courts of heaven are filled:
On his great love Our hopes we place,
Of present grace And joys above.
2 Oh, then, with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring!
Our voices we will raise,
The Three in One to sing;
And thus proclaim In joyful song,
Both loud and long, That glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
For evermore draw nigh;
Accept each faithful vow,
And mark each suppliant sigh:
In copious shower, On all who pray,
Each holy day, Thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heaven
The grace which we implore,
And may that grace, once given,
Be with us evermore--
Until that day When all the blest
To endless rest Are called away. Topics: The Christian Church Dedication; Corner-Stone

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 857 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the word;
From heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry 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. Topics: Church; Ecumenism / Interfaith; Justice; Mission; Peace; Salvation; Unity Used With Tune: AURELIA

Behold the sure Foundation-stone
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 195 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure Foundation-stone
Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heavenly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
We now adore thy Name;
We trust our whole salvation here,
Nor can we suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
4 What though the gates of hell withstood,
Yet must this building rise;
'Tis thine own work, almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes. Topics: The Christian Church Dedication; Laying a Corner-Stone
