You that know the Lord is gracious

Author: Cyril A. Alington, 1872-1955 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #470 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Jesus Christ Cornerstone / Foundation Lyrics: 1 Ye that know the Lord is gracious, ye for whom a corner-stone stands, of God elect and precious, laid that ye may build thereon, see that on that sure foundation you a living temple raise, towers that may tell forth salvation, walls that may re-echo praise. 2 Living stones, by God appointed each to his allotted place, royal priests, by God anointed, will you not declare God's grace? Now a royal generation, tell the tidings of your birth, tidings of a new creation to an old and weary earth. 3 Tell the praise of God who called you out of darkness into light, broke the fetters that enthralled you, gave you freedom, peace and sight. Tell the tale of sins forgiven, strength renewed and hope restored, till the earth, in tune with heaven, praise and magnify the Lord.

The church's one foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900; Fernand Barth, 1932 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #479 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Cornerstone / Foundation 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 that we might ever be his living servant people, by his own death set free. 2 Called forth from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth, our charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth, one holy name professing and at one table fed, to one hope we are pressing, be Christ's own Spirit led. 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?" But 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 share, through faith, 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. --- FRENCH - 1 L’église universelle a pour roc Jésus-Christ; elle est l’oeuvre nouvelle que sa parole fit. Habitant le ciel même, il vint se l’attacher, et, par un don suprême, mourut pour la sauver! 2 L’église en sa prière unit à leur Sauveur les peuples de la terre, soumis au seul Seigneur. C’est son nom qu’elle acclame, son pain qui la nourrit; elle verse à toute âme l’espoir qui la guérit. 3 Honnie et méconnue, menant de durs combats, elle attend la venue de la paix ici-bas. Contemplant par avance la fin de son tourment, la grande délivrance, le repos permanent. 4 Aujourd’hui, sur la terre, elle est unie à Dieu, et, par un saint mystère, aux élus du saint lieu. Rends-nous, comme eux, fidèles, et reçois-nous, Seigneur, dans la vie éternelle, dans l’éternel bonheur! --- HUNGARIAN - 1 Az egyháznak a Jézus a fundámentoma, A szent Ígére épült fel lelki temploma. Leszállt a mennyből hívni és eljegyezni őt, Megváltva drága vérén a váltságban hívőt. 2 Kihívott minden népből egy lelki népet itt, Kit egy Úr, egy keresztség és egy hit egyesít. Csak egy nevet magasztal, csak egy cél vonja őt, és egy terített asztal ád néki új erőt. 3 A világ fejedelme feltámad ellene, Vagy hamis tudománytól gyaláztatik neve, S míg egykor felderül majd az Úrnak hajnala, Csak virrasztói kérdik: Meddig az éjszaka? 4 Sok bajban, küzdelemben meghajszolt, megvetett, De szent megújulásért és békéért eped, Míg látomása egykor dicsőn beteljesül, S a győzedelmes egyház Urával egyesül. 5 A három-egy Istennel már itt e földön egy, S az üdvözült sereggel egy nép és egy sereg. Ó mily áldott reménység: Ha itt időnk lejár, Te boldog szenteiddel fenn Nálad béke vár! Scripture: John 3:5 Languages: English; French; Hungarian Tune Title: AURELIA

Built on the Rock

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Doving Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #512 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ--Cornerstone, our First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand even when steeples are falling; Christ builds his church in ev'ry land; bells still are chiming and calling, calling the young and old to rest, calling the souls of those distressed, longing for life everlasting. 2 Not in a temple made with hands God the Almighty is dwelling; high in the heav'ns his temple stands, all earthly temples excelling. Yet he who dwells in heav'n above chooses to live with us in love, making our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for his own habitation; he fills our hearts, his humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Yet to this place, an earthly frame, we come with thanks to praise his name; God grants his people true blessing. 4 Through all the passing years, O Lord, grant that, when church bells are ringing, many may come to hear God's word where he this promise is bringing: "I know my own, my own know me, you, not the world, my face shall see; my peace I lave with you." Amen. Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #519 (2011) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Cornerstone 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 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 her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; 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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Synger i Kor! Lad os med Idræt og Ord Palmer og Salmer ham bære! Languages: Norwegian

They did not build in vain

Author: Alan Luff, 1928- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #616 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Cornerstone / Foundation Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain, for still, to those who wish to see this place proclaims God's mystery. 2 They built upon the rock that is the risen Lord, the one foundation laid which stands each earthly shock; that, Spirit filled, we here might raise, as living temples, prayer and praise. 3 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race, and so we lay aside each sin in our desire to strive and win. 4 Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end; in him alone our faith shall stand who waits for us at God's right hand. 5 Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith, where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace; where bridging time to eternity is God the holy Trinity.
