Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply your sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the world's vain pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

God Is Here

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share. Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of the Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font, and pulpit; here the cross has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech, here, in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold; here as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us, as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 God of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt keep us faithful to the gospel; help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive; we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe!

Son of God, eternal Saviour

Yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of sea and land, we but stewards of your bounty held in trust at your command. 3 Come, Lord Jesus, reign among us, King of Love, and Prince of Peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease. Yours the prayer, and yours the purpose, that your people should be one: grant from heaven, our hope’s fruition: here on earth your will be done.

Call the Lord God Thy Salvation

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 214 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Call the Lord God thy salvation; rest beneath th'Almighty's shade; in his secret habitation dwell, and never be dismayed. There no tumult shall alarm thee; thou shalt dread no hidden snare; guile nor violence can harm thee, in eternal safeguard there. 2 From the sword at noonday wasting, from the noisome pestilence, in the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be thy sure defence. He shall charge his angel legions watch and ward o'er thee to keep; though thou walk through hostile regions, though in desert wilds thou sleep. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, thou on God hast set thy love, with the wings of his protection he will shield thee from above: thou shall call on him in trouble; he will hearken, he will save; here for grief reward thee double, crown with life beyond the grave.
