My Church! my Church! my dear old Church!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #483 (1908) Topics: The Church Year Reformation 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'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 one delivered faith to keep, They burned, they bled, they died. 4 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.

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #601 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Love in Action; Church Anniversaries; Church Ecumenism; Church Permanence 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 until 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.

Shall the strong retain the spoil? 2 Tidings, sent for ev'ry creature, Millions yet have never heard; Can they hear without a preacher? Lord Almighty, give the word; Give the word; in ev'ry nation Let the gospel trumpet sound, Witnessing of Thy salvation To the earth's remotest bound. 3 Then the end: Thy Church completed, All Thy chosen gathered in, With their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; Gone forever, parting, weeping, Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain; Lo! her watch Thy church is keeping, Come, Lord Jesus; come to reign.

The Lord will build his church again

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCCX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hopes of the Church Revival Lyrics: 1 The Lord will build his church again, And in his holy temple reign, And let his waiting people see, Her increase and prosperity. 2 Tho' Zion's walls are broken down, The Lord still claims he4r as his own; Not all the pow'rs of hell below Can cause her final overthrow. 3 Should God appear to hide his face, As if he would withdraw his grace; Yet he beholds with pitying eye, And hears his people when they cry. 4 God will return to their relief, Remove their sorrows and their grief: They who his precious absence mourn, Shall be rejoic'd at his return. 5 They who are griev'd when they behold The church, declining, dead and cold: Shall find, that God will still revive His work, to keep his church alive. 6 His wisdom and his providence, Will ever prove her sure defence; His promis'd aid, his promis'd pow'r Will guard his church for evermore. 7 Remember us, O gracious Lord, Who wait thy promises and word: O cause thy gospel light to shine, That many thousands may be thine.

The Kingship of Jesus Christ

Hymnal: The Psalter #3 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Church Christ the Head of First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers, plotting, say: Their dominion let us break Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm, He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain; And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take.
