Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,907 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 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,
save from wrath 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 the 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 eyes shall 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.

Faith Is the Victory
Author: John H. Yates Meter: 8.6.8.6 D with refrain Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:4 First Line: Encamped along the hills of light Refrain First Line: Faith is the victory! Lyrics: 1. Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise,
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foe in vales below,
Let all our strength be hurled;
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory
That overcomes the world.
2. His banner over us is love,
Our sword the Word of God;
We tread the road the saints above
With shouts of triumph trod.
By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath,
Swept on o'er ev'ry field;
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield.
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory
That overcomes the world.
3. To him who overcomes the foe
White raiment shall be giv'n;
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in heav'n.
Then onward from the hills of light,
Our hearts with love aflame;
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus' conq'ring name.
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory
That overcomes the world.

that hand which bears all nature up
shall guide his children well.

press down your weary mind?
Haste to your heav'nly Father's throne,

I'll drop my burden at his feet,
and bear a song away.

The Church's one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone (1839-1900) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 861 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 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 Called forth 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,
and shares one holy food,
as to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3 In toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore,
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 has union
with God, the Three in one,
and mystical 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. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: AURELIA

Yield Not to Temptation
Author: Horatio R. Palmer Appears in 729 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:4 Refrain First Line: Ask the Savior to help you Lyrics: 1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin,
Each vict’ry will help you
Some other to win;

Dark passions subdue,
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.

Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you,

Bad language disdain,
God’s name hold in rev’rence,
Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest,
Kindhearted and true,
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through. (Chorus)
3 To him that o’ercometh
God giveth a crown,
Thro' faith we will conquer,
Though often cast down;
He, who is our Savior,
Our strength will renew,
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through. (Chorus)

Hymn 9
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 First Line: Let all our tongues be one Lyrics:
[Let all our tongues be one
To praise our God on high,
Who from his bosom sent his Son
To fetch us strangers nigh.
Nor let our voices cease
To sing the Savior's name;
Jesus, th' ambassador of peace,
How cheerfully he came!
It cost him cries and tears
To bring us near to God;
Great was our debt, and he appears
To make the payment good.]
[My Savior's pierced side
Poured out a double flood;
By water we are purified,
And pardoned by the blood.
Infinite was our guilt,
But he, our Priest, atones;
On the cold ground his life was spilt,
And offered with his groans.]
Look up, my soul, to him
Whose death was thy desert,
And humbly view the living stream
Flow from his breaking heart.
There, on the cursed tree,
In dying pangs he lies,
Fulfils his Father's great decree,
And all our wants supplies.
Thus the Redeemer came
By water and by blood;
And when the Spirit speaks the same,
We feel his witness good.
While the eternal Three
Bear their record above,
Here I believe he died for me,
And seal my Savior's love.
[Lord, cleanse my soul from sin
Nor let thy grace depart;
Great Comforter, abide within,
And witness to my heart.]

Ye soldiers of the cross.
Lift high His royal banner;
It must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army He shall lead
Till ev'ry foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

The trumpet call obey;
Stand forth in the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day.
Let all His faithful serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus;
Stand in His strength alone.
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor;
Each piece put on with prayer.
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus;
The strife will not be long;
This day the din of battle,
The next the victor's song.
The soldiers, overcoming,
Their crown of life shall see
And with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.

by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation;
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his death on cross for my salvation;
his bursting from the spicèd tomb;
his riding up the heavenly way;
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.

6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,

salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Topics: The Being of God Holy and One; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; God In Creation; God in Trinity; God Protection of; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK

Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7 with refrain Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:4 Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock, from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page;
your people owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record:
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and share the great King's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their Gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, life restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
by mortals and by angels
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Church Ministry; Church unity and ecumenism; Salvation and Redemption; Witness Used With Tune: THORNBURY

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:3 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We mark your saints, how they became
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon--
all you endeavored done.
