How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,128 hymnals Scripture: Luke 8:22-25 Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in this excellent Word!
What more can God say than to you has been 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 woe shall not you overflow;
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
And sanctify to you, your deepest distress.
4 "The soul that on Jesus still leans 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!"

till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last!

with the shadow of thy wing.

grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity.

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: St Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; J. M. Neale ; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Luke 8:11 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the Gentiles' Lord and King,
in a Virgin's womb once dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 Given for us, and condescending
to be born for us below,
he, with us in converse blending,
dwelt the seed of truth to sow,
till he closed with wondrous ending
his most patient life of woe.
3 That last night, at supper lying,
'mid the Twelve, his chosen band,
Jesus, with the law complying,
keeps the feast its rites demand;
then, more precious food supplying,
gives himself with his own hand.
4 Word-made-flesh, true bread he maketh
by his word his flesh to be,
wine his blood; which whoso taketh
must from carnal thoughts be free:
faith alone, though sight forsaketh,
shows true hearts the mystery.
PART TWO -
5 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere:
types and shadows have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inward vision clear.
6 Glory let us give and blessing
to the Father and the Son,
honour, might, and praise addressing,
while eternal ages run;
ever too his love confessing,
who, from both, with both is One. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion; Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA

Immortal Love, Forever Full
Author: J. G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 303 hymnals Scripture: Luke 8:44 Lyrics:
1 Immortal Love, forever full,
forever flowing free,
forever shared, forever whole,
a never ebbing sea.
2 Our outward lips confess the name
all other names above;
love only knoweth whence it came,
and comprehendeth love.
3 We may not climb the heav'nly steeps
to bring the Lord Christ down;
in vain we search the lowest deeps,
for him no depths can drown.
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
a present help is he;
and faith has still its Olivet,
and love its Galilee.
5 The healing of his seamless dress
is by our beds of pain;
we touch him in life's throng and press,
and we are whole again.
6 Alone, O love ineffable,
thy saving name is given;
to turn aside from thee is hell;
to walk with thee is heaven.

And rest on the blissful shore. (Chorus)

source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me:
Ah, how long I've panted,
and my heart has fainted,
thirsting, Lord, for thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb;
I will suffer nought to hide thee,
nought I ask beside thee.
2 In thine arms I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
with their bitter storms assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all fears and sadness,
for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er I here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

to pray for health, to plead for friends.

when reached by love that never ends?

our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.

quenching thirst in every land.
