The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone; Laurence Hall Stookey Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #272 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Descants Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are his new creation
by water and the Word;
from heaven he came and sought us
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought us,
and for our life he died.
[Stanza 2 under copyright]
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees us oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore,
till with the vision glorious
our longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.
5 We now on earth have union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Crown him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1893; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #274 (1997) Topics: Descants and Fauxbourdons Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon the throne:
hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died to be
your Saviour and your matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Son of God,
before the worlds began;
let all who tread where he has trod,
crown him the Son of Man,
who every grief has known
that wrings the human breast,
and takes and bears them for his own,
that all in him may rest.
3 Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o’er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing
who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace
whose kingdom is at hand;
from pole to pole let warfare cease
and Christ rule every land!
A city stands on high;
Christ's glory it displays,
and there the nations "Holy" cry
in joyful hymns of praise.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
the Source, the End of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres
in majesty sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail,
for you have died for me;
your praise shall never, never fail
through all eternity!
Scripture: Isaiah 53:4 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Lord Christ, the Father's Mighty Son
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #275 (1985) Meter: 8.8.5.8.6 Topics: Hymns with Descants Lyrics: 1 Lord Christ, the Father's mighty Son,
whose work upon the cross was done
to give and receive,
make all our scattered churches one
that the world may believe.
2 To make us one your prayers were said,
to make us one you broke the bread
for all to receive;
its pieces scatter us instead:
how can others believe?
3 Lord Christ, forgive us, make us new!
What our designs could never do
your love can achieve.
Our prayers, our work, we bring to you
that the world may believe.
4 We will not question or refuse
the way you work, the means you choose,
the pattern you weave;
but reconcile our warring views
that the world may believe. Scripture: John 17:21 Languages: English Tune Title: EAST MEADS

and make your people hear.

disturb this sleep of death;
ignite the smouldering embers now
by your almighty breath.
3 Revive your work, O Lord:
create soul-thirst for you,
and hunger for the bread of life,
our spirits to renew.
4 Revive your work, O Lord:
exalt your precious name,
and by the Holy Spirit come
and set our love aflame.

give power unto your word;
grant that our living gospel may
in living faith be heard.

the glory shall be all your own;

in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree,
and wither, and perish; but naught changeth thee.

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render: oh help us to see
'tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.

speed forth thy flight;
move o'er the waters' face,
bearing the lamp of grace,
and in earth's darkest place
let there be light!

God Has Spoken by His Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #311 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Descants Lyrics: 1 God hath spoken by the prophets,
spoken the unchanging Word,
each from age to age proclaiming
God the one, the righteous Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil
one firm anchor holds us fast:
God is king, his throne eternal,
God the first, and God the last.
2 God hath spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of Light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 God is speaking by his Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the agelong Word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, his Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last. Scripture: Psalm 119:89 Languages: English Tune Title: ODE TO JOY
God Has Spoken by His Prophets
