Christ is made the sure foundation

Author: Rev. J. M. Neale Meter: 8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals 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 Sion's help forever, And her confidence alone. 2 All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation Pours perpetual melody; God the One in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally. 3 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day; With Thy wonted loving-kindness, Hear Thy servants as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee, forever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. Amen. Topics: Consecration of Churches Used With Tune: [Christ is made the sure foundation]

Love divine, all loves excelling

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,868 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Come to us, dear Lord, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Lamb of God, we fall before Thee

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only Source of all that's good. Every grace and every favor Come to us through Jesus' blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this assuring sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom?--He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires, Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,-- He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle

Author: Caswall; Venantius Fortunatus Meter: 8.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle, Tell His triumph far and wide; Tell aloud the wondrous story Of His Body crucified; How upon the cross a victim, Vanquishing in death, He died. 2 Eating of the tree forbidden, Man had sunk in Satan's snare, When our pitying Creator Did this second tree prepare, Destined many ages later, That first evil to repair. 3 So, when now at length the fullness Of the time foretold drew nigh, God the Son, the world's Creator, Let His Father's throne on high, From the Virgin's womb appearing Clothed in our humanity. 4 Thus did Christ to perfect manhood In our mortal flesh attain; Then of His free choice He goeth To a death of bitter pain; He, the Lamb upon the altar Of the cross, for us was slain. 5 Lo, with gall His thirst He quenches, See the thorns upon His brow; Nails His tender flesh are rending; See, His side is piercèd now; Whence, to cleanse the whole creation, Streams of blood and water flow. 6 Christ, to Thee with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving, And unwearied praises be; Honor, glory, and dominion, And eternal victory. Amen. Used With Tune: [Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle]

Mighty God, while angels bless Thee

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless Thee, May a mortal lisp Thy Name? Lord of men, as well as angels, Thou art every creature’s theme. 2 Lord of every land and nation, Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be Thy just and lawful praise. 3 For the grandeur of Thy nature. Grand beyond a seraph’s thought; For created works of power, Works with skill and kindness wrought: 4 For Thy Providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow: Blessed by Thy gentle reign. 5 But Thy rich, Thy free Redemption, Dark through brightness all along-- Thought is poor, and poor expression: Who dare sing that awful song! 6 From the highest throne in glory To the Cross of deepest woe! All to ransom guilty captives! Flow, my praise, for ever flow. Topics: Worship Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: MERTON
