Onward, Christian Soldiers
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 1,792 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal master, leads against the foe;
forward into battle see his banners go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
2 Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
let us boldly follow where the saints have trod.
We are not divided; all one body we
one in hope and doctrine, one in charity. Refrain
3 Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
but the church of Jesus constant will remain;
gates of hell can never 'gainst that church prevail.
We have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail. Refrain
4 Onward, then, O people, join our happy throng:
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
we through countless ages with the angels sing. Refrain

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 856 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:18 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
we 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. Topics: Church Fellowship; Church Fellowship; Church Heritage; Church Nature; Church Unity; Church Final Victory; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Bridegroom Used With Tune: AURELIA

Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:18 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 every 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 heavens his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heaven 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.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2 See the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove:
who can faint, while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage?--
grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near!
Thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day,
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name;
fading is the world's best pleasure,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know.

A growing kingdom

Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, thy church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy church, O God!
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad;--
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands. Topics: Christ Corner-stone; Church Institutions of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Corner-Stone Used With Tune: ST. ANN'S

to her my cares and toils be given,
till toils and cares shall end.

I prize her heavenly ways:
her sweet communion, solemn vows,
her hymns of love and praise.
