Built On The Rock The Church
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #133 (1927) Topics: The Church First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land,
Bells still are chiming and calling;
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distrest,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands,
God, the Most High, is not dwelling,
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet, He whom heav'ns cannot contain
Chose to abide on each with men
Built in our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Builded for His habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns,
Heirs of His wondrous salvation;
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell,
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Still we our earthly temples rear,
That we may herald His praises;
They are the homes where He draws near
And little children embraces;
Beautiful things in them are said,
God there with us His cov'nant made,
Making us heirs of His kingdom.
5 Here stands the font before our eyes
Telling how God did receive us;
Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
And what His table doth give us;
Here sounds the word that doth proclaim
Christ yesterday, today the same,
Yea, and for aye our Redeemer.
6 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam,
That when the church bells are ringing,
Many in Jesus' faith may come
Where He His message is bringing:
I know mine own, my own know me,
Ye, not the world, my face shall see:
My peace I leave with you, Amen.

The Church is one.

One is their Savior, and their Father one;

Lives to himself.

Baptized them with His Spirit, pure and good;
And in true faith and ever-burning love,
Their hearts and hopes ascend to seek above
The eternal good.

When the Church of Jesus

lest the roar of traffic drown the voice of prayer:
may our prayers, Lord, make us ten times more aware
that the world we banish is our Christian care.
2 If our hearts are lifted where devotion soars
high above this hungry suffering world of ours:
lest our hymns should drug us to forget its needs,
forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds.
3 Lest the gifts we offer, money, talents, time,
serve to salve our conscience to our secret shame:
Lord, reprove, inspire us by the way You give;
teach us, dying Savior, how true Christians live. Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #320 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live before they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread Christ's liberating word.
