When the Lord Brought Back the Captives
The Church’s One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 856 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
we are a new creation
by water and the Word.
From heav’n he came and taught us
what perfect love can be;
through life and death he sought us,
and rose to set us free.
2 The church in ev’ry nation
is one through all the earth;
our charter of salvation,
one God, one faith, one birth;
one name together blessing,
one holy food we share,
to one hope ever pressing,
at one in work and prayer.
3 Still, schisms, tribulation,
and hatred fuel our war;
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore.
The saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Yet we 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!
God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally. Topics: Body of Christ; Confessing Faith; Unity; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Used With Tune: AURELIA Text Sources: Lyra Fidelium, 1866, alt.

Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing--
Zion long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive!
God himself shall loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful?
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will not restore thee;
He himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send. Topics: Church Missions of; Church Revival of; Church Work of Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

to our fathers in distress;
praise him still the same for ever,

well our feeble frame he knows;
in his hands he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes:

widely as his mercy flows.

ye behold him face to face;

all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Patience; Comfort; Discipleship; Funeral / Memorial Service; God Faithfulness of; God Power of; Joy; Patience; Protection; Suffering Used With Tune: FINLANDIA Text Sources: Stille, mein Wille

Come Away to the Skies
Meter: 6.6.9 D Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 Come away to the skies,
my beloved, arise
and rejoice in the day thou wast born.
On this festival day,
come exulting away,
and with singing to Zion return.
2 Now with singing and praise,
let us spend all the days,
by our heavenly Father bestowed,
while his grace we receive
from his bounty, and live
to the honour and glory of God.
3 For the glory we were
first created to share,
both the nature and kingdom divine!
Now created again
that our lives may remain,
throughout time and eternity thine.
4 We with thanks do approve
the design of that love
which hath joined us to Jesus' name;
so united in heart,
let us nevermore part,
till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.
5 Hallelujah we sing,
to the heaven's high King,
and his rapturous praises repeat:
to the Lamb that was slain,
hallelujah again,
sing, all heaven, and fall at his feet. Topics: Easter (season) Used With Tune: MIDDLEBURY Text Sources: The Southern Harmony, New Haven, 1835, alt.
