My Church! My Church! My dear old Church
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church
My fathers’ and my own!
On prophets, and apostles built,
And Christ the cornerstone;
All else beside, by storm or tide,
May yet be overthrown;
But not my Church, my dear old Church,
My fathers’ and my own.
2 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church!
My glory and my pride!
Firm in the faith Immanuel taught,
She holds no faith beside,
Upon this rock, ‘gainst every shock,
Though gates of hell assail,
She stands secure, with promise sure,
“They never shall prevail.”
3 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church!
I love her ancient name;
And God forbid a child of hers
Should ever do her shame;
Her mother care I'll ever share;
Her child I am alone,
Till He who gave me to her arms,
Shall call me to His own.
4 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church!
Thy child would add a vow
To that whose token once was signed
Upon his infant brow;
Her mother care I'll ever share,
Her child I am alone.
My Church shall yet be dear to me,
My fathers' and my own.

I've heard the tale of blood,
Of hearts that loved her to the death:
The great, the wise, the good.
Our martyred sires defied the fires
For Christ the Crucified;
The once delivered faith to keep,
They burned, they bled, they died.

Shall call me to His own. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: ATHENS

My fathers’ and my own!
On Prophets and Apostles built,
And Christ the Cornerstone!
All else beside, by storm or tide,
May yet be overthrown;
But not my Church, my dear old Church,
My fathers’ and my own.

My glory and my pride!

Upon this rock, ‘gainstev’ry shock,
Tho’ gates of hell assail,
She stands secure, with promise sure,
“They never shall prevail.”
3 My Church! my Church! I love my Church,
For she exalts my Lord;
She speaks, she breathes, she teaches not
But from His written Word;
And if her voice bids me rejoice,
From all my sins released,
‘Tis thro’ th’atoning sacrifice,
And Jesus is the Priest.
4 My Church! my Church! I love my Church,
For she doth lead me on
To Zion’s palace Beautiful,
Where Christ my Lord hath gone.
From all below she bids me go
To Him, the Life, the Way,
The Truth to guide my erring feet
From darkness into day. Languages: English Tune Title: [My Church! my Church! my dear old Church]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "My Church! My Church! My dear old Church" in Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
