My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,084 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, His covenant and blood
Support me in the raging flood;
When ev'ry earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Redeemed to stand before His throne! [Refrain]

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
New every morning is the love
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 360 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:13 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask,
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love,
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: Morning; Lent II Year B; Lent III Year A Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

and your fullest benediction
shed within these walls today.
3 Here bestow on all your servants
what they seek from you to gain.
What they gain from you, forever
with the blessed to retain;
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.

Accept, O God, this earthly shrine.

And we, as living temples, Thine.

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:18 First Line: The church of Christ in ev'ry age Lyrics: 1. The church of Christ, in ev'ry age
Beset by change, but Spirit led,
Must claim and test its heritage
And keep on rising from the dead.
2. Across the world, across the street,
The victims of injustice cry
For shelter and for bread to eat,
And never live until they die.
3. Then let the servant church arise;
A caring church that longs to be
A partner in Christ's sacrifice,
And clothed in Christ's humanity.
4. For He alone, whose blood was shed,
Can cure the fever in our blood,
And teach us how to share our bread
And feed the starving multitude.
5. We have no mission but to serve
In full obedience to our Lord,
To care for all, without reserve,
And spread His liberating Word. Used With Tune: GERMANY
The Church of Christ in Every Age
"As Surely as I Live," God Said
Author: Nicolaus Herman, c. 1480-1561; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:19 Lyrics: 1 "As surely as I live," God said,
"I would not see the sinner dead.
I want him turned from error’s ways,
Repentant, living endless days."
2 And so our Lord gave this command:
"Go forth and preach in ev'ry land;
Bestow on all My pard'ning grace
Who will repent and mend their ways.
3 "All those whose sins you thus remit
I truly pardon and acquit,
And those whose sins you will retain
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 "What you will bind, that bound shall be;
What you will loose, that shall be free;
To My dear Church the keys are giv'n
To open, close the gates of heav'n."
5 The words which absolution give
Are His who died that we might live;
The minister whom Christ has sent
Is but His humble instrument.
6 When ministers lay on their hands,
Absolved by Christ the sinner stands;
He who by grace the Word believes
The purchase of His blood receives.
7 All praise to You, O Christ, shall be
For absolution full and free,
In which You show Your richest grace;
From false indulgence guard our race.
8 Praise God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
As was, is now, and so shall be
World without end, eternally!
