Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #482 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Descants and Fauxbourdons 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 within that holy city, dearly loved of God on high, in exultant jubilation pour 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 faithful lovingkindness, hear thy people as they pray, and thy fullest benediction shed within its walls alway. 4 Here bestow on 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 honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three, and ever One, one in might and one in glory while unending ages run.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #483 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Descants and Fauxbourdons Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; One whose word cannot be broken formed thee for a wrong abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear, for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading – light by night and shade by day – daily on the manna feeding which God gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city we, through grace, a part may claim, let the world deride or pity, we will glory in thy name. Fading is all worldly pleasure, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us scorn thy Christ, assail his ways! From the fears that long have bound us, free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children’s warring madness, bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal, lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christlike graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee, that we fail not them nor thee! 5 Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the search for thy salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving thee whom we adore, serving thee whom we adore. Languages: English Tune Title: CWN RHONDDA

Come, ye thankful people, come

Come, to God's own temple, come: raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God's own field, fruit unto God's praise to yield; wheat and weeds 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 the field shall in that day all offences purge away, give the angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in God's storehouse evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come to thy final harvest home: gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin; there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide. Come, with all thine angels, come: raise the glorious harvest home. Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
