The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 870 hymnals 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 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 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 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.

I Lay My Sins on Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 560 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accursed load:
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in his blood most precious,
Till not a stain remains.
2. I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fulness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem:
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3. I long to be like Jesus,
Strong, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child:
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heav'nly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Hail to the Lord's Anointed!
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 850 hymnals First Line: Hail to the Lord's Anointed Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing;
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Wee precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth:
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love.
Amen. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: AURELIA

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
As Christ accepted us;
Teach us as sister, brother,
Each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us,
And bring us to believe:
We are ourselves accepted
And meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
As in our daily life
We struggle to be human
And search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
For all, not just for some;
To love them as we find them,
Or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us
So that we may be moved
In living situations
To do the truth in love;
To practice your acceptance
Until we know by heart
The table of forgiveness
And laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
With all who are in need,
Who hunger for acceptance,
For justice, and for bread,
We need new eyes for seeing,
New hands for holding on:
Renew us with your Spirit;
Lord, free us, make us one! Topics: Unity; Ordinary Time, Twenty-Third Sunday A Scripture: Romans 15:7 Used With Tune: AURELIA

O God, the Rock of Ages
Author: E. H. Bickersteth Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling place serene;
Before Thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The Everlasting Thou!
2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.
4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavor
With beauty and with grace,
Till, clothed in light for ever,
We see Thee face to face;
A joy no language measures,
A fountain brimming o'er,
An endless flow of pleasures,
An ocean without shore. Topics: His Majesty and Glory; God His Majesty and Glory; God Eternal Used With Tune: [O God, the Rock of Ages]

Whose wisdom, love, and pow'r
First bound two lives together
In Eden's primal hour,
To these who come before you,
Your earliest gifts renew:
A home by you made happy,
A love by you kept true.
2 O Savior, guest in Cana
Of old in Galilee,
May these who ask your blessing
Your loving presence see.
Their store of earthly gladness
Transform to heav'nly wine,
And teach them, in the testing,
To know your gift divine.
3 O Spirit of the Father,
Breathe on them from above,
So mighty in your pureness,
So tender in your love;
That, guarded by your presence,
From sin and strife kept free,
Their hearts may seek your guidance,
And love you faithfully.
4 Unless you build it, Father,
The house is built in vain;
Unless you bless it, Savior,
The joy will turn to pain;
But none can break the union
Of hearts in you made one;
The love your Spirit blesses
Is endless love begun. Topics: Joy; Love for Others; Love of God for Us; Rites of the Church Marriage; Unity Used With Tune: AURELIA

How hast thou fed thy guest!
The gifts thou now hast given
Have filled my heart with rest.
O wondrous food of blessing,
O cup that heals our woes,
My heart, this gift possessing,
In thankful song o'erflows!
2 My Lord, thou here hast led me
Within thy holiest place,
And there thyself hast fed me
With treasures of thy grace;
And thou hast freely given
What earth could never buy,
The Bread of Life from heaven,
That now I shall not die. A-men.
3 Thou givest all I wanted,
The food can death destroy;
And thou hast freely granted
The cup of endless joy.
Ah, Lord, I do not merit
The favor thou hast shown,
And all my soul and spirit
Bow down before thy throne.
4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened
With heavenly food, while here
My course on earth is lengthened,
I serve with holy fear;
And when thou call'st my spirit
To leave this world below,
I enter, through thy merit,
Where joys unmingled flow.

In Time of Tribulation
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In time of tribulation,
hear, Lord, my feeble cries;
With humble supplication
to Thee my spirit flies;
My heart with grief is breaking,
scarce can my voice complain;
Mine eyes with tears kept waking,
still watch and weep in vain.
2. The days of old, in vision,
bring banished bliss to view;
The years of lost fruition,
their joys in pangs renew;
Remembered songs of gladness,
through nights lone silence brought,
Strike notes of deeper sadness,
and stir desponding thought.
3. Hath God cast off forever?
Can time His truth impair?
His tender mercy never
shall I presume to share?
Hath He His loving kindness
shut up in endless wrath?
No; this is mine own blindness,
that cannot see His path.
4. I call to recollection
the years of His right hand;
And, strong in His protection,
again through faith I stand;
Thy deeds, O Lord, are wondrous;
holy are all Thy ways;
The secret place of thunder
shall utter forth Thy praise.
5. Thee, with the tribes assembled,
O God, the billows saw;
They saw Thee, and they trembled,
turned, and stood still with awe;
The clouds shot hail and lightning;
the earth reeled to and fro;
Thy fiery pillar brightened
the gulf of gloom below.
6. Thy way is in great waters,
Thy footsteps are not known;
Let Adam’s sons and daughters
confide in Thee alone:
Through the wild sea Thou leadest
Thy chosen flock of yore;
Still on the waves Thou treadest,
and Thy redeemed pass o’er. Used With Tune: AURELIA Text Sources: Selection of Psalms and Hymns, by Thomas Cotterill (London: 1819)

Remember Christ, Our Savior
Author: Robert E. Smith Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Remember Christ, our Savior
Who paid the debts you owed
To God the heavenly Father
And to you mercy showed.
When others sin against you
Be ready to forgive.
Since you have been forgiven
With them in peace now live.
2. Go first to find your brother,
Your sister or your friend.
Do not reveal to others
The hurt you need to mend.
Confront in humble spirit
The one whose sin caused pain
That he might seek forgiveness
And you a friend regain.
3. When bitter anger tempts you
To nurse your broken heart
With brooding thoughts of hatred
And vows of vengeance start.
Pray to the Lord of Pardon
For power to release
Each selfish act against you
That rage might in you cease.
4. O Father, Son, and Spirit,
O Patient Trinity,
Who lifts from us sin’s burden
And from its debt sets free.
Grant us the will to pardon
All those who us offend
That we might enter heaven
With them when ages end. Used With Tune: AURELIA Text Sources: First published in the Lutheran Digest, 1991
