Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,201 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:30 Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise his name--I’m fixed upon it--
name of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
hither by thy help I’ve come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart, O, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

Author: Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf; Frederick William Foster Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-24 Lyrics: 1 Christian hearts, in love united,
seek alone in Jesus rest;
has he not your love excited?
Then let love inspire each breast.
Members — on our Head depending,
light — reflecting him, our Sun,
brethren — his commands attending,
we in him, our Lord, are one.
2 Come then, come, O flock of Jesus,
covenant with him anew;
unto him, who conquered for us,
pledge we love and service true;
and should our love's union holy
firmly linked no more remain,
wait ye at his footstool lowly,
till he draw it close again.
3 Grant, Lord, that with thy direction
"Love each other" we comply.
aiming with unfeigned affection
thy love to exemplify;
let our mutual love be glowing,
thus the world will plainly see
that we, as on one stem growing,
living branches are in thee.
4 O that such may be our union
as thine with the Father is,
and not one of our communion
e'er forsake the path of bliss;
may our light break forth with brightness,
from thy light reflected shine;
thus the world will bear us witness
that we, Lord, are truly thine. Topics: Fellowship and Family Life; Christ's Example; Covenant; Love for Others; Moravian festivals--August 17; Moravian festivals--November 16; Self-Examination Used With Tune: CASSEL

Divers gifts to each divide;
Placed according to Thy will,
Let us all Thy work fulfill,

Use the grace on each bestowed,
Tempered by the art of God,
Tempered by the art of God.

Touched with loving sympathy,
Kindly for each other care;
Every member feel its share,
Every member feel its share.

We who Jesus have put on;
Names, and sects, and parties fall;
Thou, O Christ, art all in all,
Thou, O Christ, art all in all.

City of God, how broad and far
Author: Samuel Johnson (1822-1882) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 166 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 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 One holy church, one army strong,
one steadfast, high intent;
one working band, one harvest-song,
one King omnipotent.
3 How purely hath thy speech come down
from man's primaeval youth!
How grandly hath thine empire grown
of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night
with never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
to meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
in vain the drifting sands:
unharmed upon the eternal Rock
the eternal city stands. Topics: Church nature of; Church Universal; Proper 4 Year A Used With Tune: RICHMOND

Christ the head of the Church
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:15-16 First Line: Jesus, we sing thy matchless grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we sing thy matchless grace,
That calls base worms thy own;
Gives them among thy saints a place,
To make thy glories known.
2 Allied to thee our vital head,
We act, and grow, and thrive:
From thee divided, each is dead,
When most he seems alive.
3 Thy saints on earth, and those above,
All join in sweet accord;
One body all in mutual love,
And thou, their common Lord.
4 O may our faith each hour receive
The spirit from above,
Thus death and hell shall ne'er deceive,
Nor break the bond of love.
5 Thou the whole body wilt present
Before thy Father's face;
Now shall a wrinkle, or a spot,
Its beauteous form disgrace. Topics: Christ The head of the church
