Now I Have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe, 1688-1758 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds my life forever sure; 'Twas laid before the world's creation In Christ my Savior's wounds secure, Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav'n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending, Which human wisdom far transcends, Of him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends. His heart with pity still will break Whether we seek him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God has not intended; For our salvation he has yearned. For this his Son to earth descended And then again to heav'n returned; For this so patient evermore He's knocking at our heart's closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing; There is no condemnation here! For Jesus' blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While he my restless heart is stilling, May I this mercy not forget! Whatever comes my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 6 Lord, I will stand on this foundation As long as I on earth remain; This will engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain. And then, when face to face with you, I'll sing your mercy great and true.

Help us, O Lord! behold we enter

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us, O Lord! behold we enter Upon another year to-day; In Thee our hopes and thoughts now centre, Renew our courage for the way: New Life, new strength, new happiness, We ask of Thee, O hear and bless! 2 May every plan and undertaking This year be all begun with Thee, When I am sleeping or am waking, Still let me know Thou art with me; Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide, At home be ever at my side. 3 Be this a time of grace and pardon, Thy rod I take with willing mind, O, suffer naught my heart to harden, And let me then Thy mercy find! In Thee alone, my God, I live, Thou only canst my sins forgive. 4 And may this year to me be holy, Thy grace so fill my every thought That all my life be pure and lowly, And truthful as a Christian’s ought; So make me, while yet dwelling here, Pious and blest from year to year. 5 Jesus, be with me and direct me; Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire; Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me; Jesus, be all my heart’s desire; Jesus, be in my thoughts all day Nor suffer me to fall away. 6 And grant, Lord, when the year is over, That it for me in peace may close; In all things care for me, and cover My head in time of fear and woes; So may I, when my years are gone, Appear with joy before Thy throne.

In Thy dear name and by Thy favor

Author: C. H. L. Schuette Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Thy dear name and by Thy favor, This day we lay the corner-stone, To build a house, O God and Savior, To Thee, and to Thy praise alone. Here let Thy Spirit by Thy Word Perform Thy work of grace, dear Lord. 2 O let us all by faith be grounded, Lord Jesus Christ, on Thee alone; That is our midst Thy praise be sounded, Who art the Church's Corner-stone. To keep us in Thy faith and fear, Build Thee and us a temple here. 3 Accept our off'rings, we implore Thee, And bless the work we have begun; To Thee alone and to Thy glory This building consecrate, when done; Then will we hither come, and raise Our hearts to Thee in thanks and praise. 4 Through saving faith preserve us ever In Thy pure Word and Sacrament; Be with us all, forsake us never; To serve Thee make our hearts intent; And when we die, O grant that we Be found in cov'nant grace with Thee.
