The Church of God a kingdom is

Author: Lionel Muirhead, 1845-1925 Hymnal: NEH1985 #483 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE Church of God a kingdom is, Where Christ in power doth reign, Where spirits yearn till seen in bliss Their Lord shall come again. 2 Glad companies of saints possess This Church below, above; And God’s perpetual calm doth bless Their paradise of love. 3 An altar stands within the shrine Whereon, once sacrificed, Is set, immaculate, divine, The Lamb of God, the Christ. 4 There rich and poor, from countless lands, Praise Christ on mystic rood; There nations reach forth holy hands To take God’s holy food. 5 There pure life-giving streams o’erflow The sower’s garden-ground; And faith and hope fair blossoms show, And fruits of love abound. 6 O King, O Christ, this endless grace To us and all men bring, To see the vision of thy face In joy, O Christ, our King.

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: NEH1985 #484 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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 every 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 every grace endued. 3 *Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest, 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 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. 5 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. Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity; Dedication Festival Languages: English Tune Title: SOMERSTOWN

Thy hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Plumptre, 1821-91 Hymnal: NEH1985 #485 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided Thy flock, from age to age; The wondrous tale is written, Full clear, on every page; Our fathers owned thy goodness, And we their deeds record; And both of this bear witness, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings To greatest, as to least; They bade men rise, and hasten To share the great King's feast; And this was all their teaching, In every deed and word, To all alike proclaiming One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, Through many a scene of strife, The faithful few fought bravely To guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, Sin pardoned, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, Nor leave thy work undone; With thy right hand to help us, The victory shall be won; And then, by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem, One Church, one Faith, one Lord.

And did those feet in ancient time

Author: William Blake, 1757-1827 Hymnal: NEH1985 #488 (1986) Lyrics: 1 And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? 2 Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight. Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.

Judge eternal, throned in splendour

Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Hymnal: NEH1985 #490 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour, Lord of lords and King of kings, With thy living fire of judgement Purge this realm of bitter things: Solace all its wide dominion With the healing of thy wings. 2 Still the weary folk are pining For the hour that brings release: And the city’s crowded clangour Cries aloud for sin to cease; And the homesteads and the woodlands Plead in silence for their peace. 3 Crown, O God, thine own endeavor; Cleave our darkness with thy sword; Feed the faithless and the hungry With the richness of your word: Cleanse the body of this nation Through the glory of the Lord.
