The Church's one foundation

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Church Afflicted and Militant 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 And though with 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 forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

O Thou, in Whose Presence

Author: Joseph Swain, 1761-1796 Meter: 11.8.11.8 Appears in 496 hymnals Topics: Affliction First Line: O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in affliction I call, My comfort by day and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all! 2 Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep, To feed them in pastures of love? Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove? 3 Oh, why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 Restore, my dear Savior, the light of Thy face, Thy soul-cheering comfort impart; And let the sweet tokens of pardoning grace Bring joy to my desolate heart. 5 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word. He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 23:4 Used With Tune: DAVIS

Behold the Love, the generous Love

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Afflicted pity to them Lyrics: 1 Behold the Love, the generous Love, That holy David shows; Hark, how his sounding Bowels move To his afflicted Foes! 2 When they are sick, his Soul complains, And seems to feel the Smart; The Spirit of the Gospel reigns, And melts his pious Heart. 3 How did his flowing Tears condole As for a Brother dead! And Fasting mortify'd his Soul, While for their Life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double Blessings on his Head The righteous GOD returns. 5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While Sinners curse, the Saviour prays, And pities them with Tears. 6 He the true David, Isr'el's King, Blest and belov'd of GOD, To save us Rebels dead in Sin, Paid his own dearest Blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14

The Sinner's Portion and Saint's Hope; or, the Heaven of separate Souls, and the Resurection

Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Grace Tried by Affliction; Grace Tried by Affliction First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine: but thy wilt prove My faith, my patience, and my love; When men of spite against me join, They are the sword, the hand is thine. 2 Their hope and portion lie below; ’Tis all the happiness they know, ’Tis all they seek; they take their shares, And leave the rest among their heirs, 3 What sinners value, I resign; Lord, ’tis enough that thou art mine: I shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. 4 His life’s a dream, an empty show; But the bright world, to which I go, Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there? 5 O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near, and like my God? And flesh and sin no more controul The sacred pleasures of the soul. 6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound: Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour’s image rise. Scripture: Psalm 17

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. 2 Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: LAFAYETTE
