Lord of our life, and God of our salvation
Author: Philip Pusey; M. A. von Löwenstern Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #84 (1913) Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star of our night, and hope of every nation,
Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round Thine Ark the hungry billows curling,
See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us.
3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth;
Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Lord, o'er Thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant us Thy peace, Lord.
4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging,
Peace in Thy Church where brothers are engaging,
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging,
Send us, O Savior.
5 Grant us Thy help till foes are backward driven;
Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven,
Peace in Thy heaven. Tune Title: [Lord of our life, and God of our salvation]
Lord of our life, and God of our salvation
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #86 (1913) Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the Promised Land.
Clear before us, through the darkness,
Gleams and burns the guiding light.
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God’s own presence,
O’er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires.
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun:
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the One Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers!
Onward, with the cross our aid!
Bear its shame and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade!
Soon, shall come the great awaking,
Soon the rending of the tomb,
Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom. Tune Title: Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: J. Newton Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #88 (1913) Topics: Church of Christ 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 may'st 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, if 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 worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know. Tune Title: [Glorious things of thee are spoken]

Christ reigning
O Father, may Thy word prevail
Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #245 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Father, may Thy Word prevail
Against the gates of hell!
Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled
With thorns and thistles filled.
'Tis true, Thy plants are there;
But, ah, how weak and rare!
How slight the power and evidence
Of word and sacraments!
2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate
Thy vineyard's sad estate;
Baptized are millions in Thy name,
But where is faith's pure flame?
Of what avail that we
Know of Thine agony,
So long as we do not o'erthrow
In faith the wicked foe?
3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light,
We cry by day, by night:
Come, grant us of the light and powe'r
Our fathers had of yore;
When Thy dear Church did stand
A tree, deep-rooted, grand;
Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow,
With purple fruits aglow! Tune Title: [O Father, may Thy word prevail]
O Father, may Thy word prevail
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 may'st 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 t'assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring,
Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which he gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, if 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 worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know.

The church's one Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #270 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christ Head of the Church; The Church The Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 The church's one Foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the Word:
From heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men 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 The church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
To guide, sustain and cherish
Is with her to the end;
Though there be those that hate her,
And false sons in her pale,
Against or foe or traitor
She ever shall prevail.
5 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
6 Yet she on earth hath union
With the 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.
Amen. Scripture: Romans 12:5 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

How sweet and awful is the place
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #271 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church The Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,
"Lord, why was I a guest?
3 "Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there's room,
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come?"
4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, O our God,
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious Word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
6 We long to see thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May, with one voice and heart and soul,
Sing thy redeeming grace.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 14:14-24 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA
