How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,127 hymnals Topics: Church Nature and Foundation First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not! I am with thee; O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
4 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose;
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: Rippon's Selection of Hymns, 1787
How Firm a Foundation
The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone; Laurence Hall Stookey Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: God's Church Foundation; God's Church The Foundation Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are his new creation
by water and the Word;
from heaven he came and sought us
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought us,
and for our life he died.
[Stanza 2 under copyright]
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees us 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 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore,
till with the vision glorious
our longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.
5 We now on earth have union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Used With Tune: AURELIA

Clad in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [My hope is built on nothing less]

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Church--Foundation and nature Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken,
formed you for his own abode;
on the rock of ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded
you may smile at all your foes.
2 Blessed inhabitants of Zion,
washed in the Redeemer's blood!
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
makes them kings and priests to God;
'tis his love his people raises
in his courts to reign as kings,
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thankoff'ring brings.
3 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name.
Fading are the worldling's pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show,
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 9:11 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

bells still are chiming and calling,
calling the young and old to rest,
calling the souls of those distressed,
longing for life everlasting.
2 Not just in temples made with hands
God, the Most Holy, is dwelling.
Hidden from sight God's temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
The one whom heavens cannot contain
chose here among us to remain,
built in our bodies a temple.
3 We are a house of living stones
built for God's own habitation;
God fills our hearts, these humble thrones,
granting us life and salvation.
Were two or three to pray for grace,
Christ in their midst would show his face,
blessings upon them bestowing. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-10 Used With Tune: KIRKEN DEN ER ET

Nor shall they suffer shame.

Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.

Yet must this Building rise:

And wondrous in our eyes. Scripture: Psalm 118 Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA
