Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: John 2:13-25 Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion’s help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted lovingkindness
Hear your servants as they pray.
And your fullest benediction
Shed in all its bright array.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your people,
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you forever
With the blessèd to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.

All is ready for the Feast!
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 2:13-17 Lyrics: 1 All is ready for the Feast!
Every Jew is wondering how
God will liberate them now.
2 Pilate, fearful of revolt
he, at all costs, must avert,
puts the Legion on alert.
3 Listen! Galilean crowds
hail the Man from Nazareth,
Jesus, riding to his death.
4 What authority he wields!
With a whip of cords he clears
temple courts of profiteers!
5 Watched by priests and pharisees,
all he says and all he does
fans the hatred of his foes.
6 Now he gathers those he loves
in a room where bread and wine
turn to sacrament and sign.
7 In that dark betrayal night,
moved by hope, or fear or greed,
Judas sets about his deed.
8 Jesus in the olive grove,
waiting for a traitor's kiss,
rises free from bitterness.
9 As he wakes his comrades up
torches flicker in the glen,
shadows turn to marching men.
10 In that dawn of blows and lies
Church and State conspire to kill,
hang three rebels on a hill.
11 Innocent and guilty drown
in a flood of blood and sweat,
how much darker can it get?
12 How much darker must it be
for a God to see and care
that men perish in despair?
13 It is God himself who dies!
God in man shall set us free,
God as Man - and only he.
14 Let him claim us as his own,
we will serve as best we can
such a God and such a Man!
Final verse:
15 What does our salvation cost?
Jesus, we shall never know
all you gave and all we owe. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Used With Tune: HEILIGER GEIST

in the light of his Word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he will richly repay;
not a grief nor a loss,
not a frown nor a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]
3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows
and the joy he bestows
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go--
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain] Topics: Fellowship Used With Tune: TRUST AND OBEY

bound with Satan's chain;

raise to life again.

shine in ev'ry land
as in Eden's garden
when the world began. [Refrain] Topics: Easter Used With Tune: SEI DU MIR GEGRÜSSET

lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom thou in sacred vow dost join in one.

of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears no pain or death.

grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife;
grant them the vision of the glorious morrow
that will reveal eternal love and life.
