The Church's One Foundation
Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #78 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General; Processionals and Recessionals Trinity 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 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And soon the Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth hath union
With 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. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

And her strength is this alone:
God hath laid His choice upon her
And her work will not disown,
And her work will not disown.
2 He His Church has firmly founded,
He will guard what He began;
We, by sin and foes surrounded,
Build her bulwarks as we can,
Build her bulwarks as we can.
3 Onward, then, for naught despairing,
Calm we follow at His Word,
Thus thro' joy and sorrow bearing
Faithful witness to our Lord,
Faithful witness to our Lord.
4 Though we here must strive with weakness,
Though in tears we often bend,
What His might began in meekness
Shall achieve a glorious end,
Shall achieve a glorious end.

O Day Of Rest And Gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #8 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,

The silver trumpet calls,
Where Gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,

From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.

And wipe my tears away;

In me canst find Thy love below

Beautiful Upon The Mountain
Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #93 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Beautiful upon the mountain
Are the feet of shepherds true,
Who from out the living Fountain
Grace dispense each day anew.
Precious is the peace they offer
In the Savior's own dear name,
Who, for us His life to proffer,
From His throne in heav'n He came.
2 Earthly chains must not enslave him
Who would serve our gracious Lord;
In the strength the Master gave him
He must preach His holy Word,
Gladly bearing pain and sorrow,
Self-forgetful evermore.
Hoping that a brighter morrow
God has kept for him in store.
3 Let him speak to ev'ry nation
Of the Savior's boundless love;
Let him tell of God's salvation,
Of the blissful home above.
Let him comfort hearts that languish
In the throes of sin and pain,
That, relieved from all their anguish,
Peace and rest they may obtain.
4 Be it told to sinners stricken
With the fear of death and hell:
Christ your fainting hearts will quicken
And all mortal fears dispel.
Be it told to those in prison,
Chained by tho'ts of doubt and care:
Christ, Who died, again is risen
And with you His home will share. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though ev'ry prospect pleases
And only man is vile:
In vain, with lavish kindness,
The gifts of God are strewn;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
By wisdom from on high--
Shall we to man benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation, O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story;
And you, ye waters, roll
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
Returns in bliss to reign.

Hasten The Time Appointed

Prove our faith by works of love;
Saved to serve, be this our watchword,
Till we join the hosts above.

O My Savior, I Adore Thee
Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #196 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 O my Savior, I adore Thee,
Who hast sealed me with Thy seal;
Hear me as I come before Thee,
And Thy tender grace reveal;
Show the way of love to me
Lest my feet should stray from Thee.
2 I was blind, no token seeing
Of Thy boundless love for me;
I was deaf, a wretched being,
Lame, enslaved, and lost to Thee;
Now I feel Thy love's caress,
Robed in Thine own righteousness.
3 But Thy love, so strong and tender,
Also kindles love in me,
That I willingly may render
Heart and soul and all to Thee;
Help me, then, Thy will to do
As Thy servant good and true.
4 This is what Thou, Lord, demandest
Of Thy servant evermore;
Wanton sinners Thou withstandest
Who will not Thy grace implore;
Only what Thy grace has wrought
In Thy sight will count for aught.
5 O Lord Jesus, I will rest me
In Thy love thro'out life's day;
Of all selfishness divest me,
Fill my heart with love's bright ray;
Let Thy Spirit purge my heart
And each day new life impart.
Amen.

All thine ills must vanish.

Safely then thy course will run,
Naught thy soul distressing.

While on earth residing,
And for thee God's sun will shine

Trains his host in all his art.

Lean upon His mighty arm;

Aims to do you naught but harm.

Press ye onward in the strife.

Fills the faintest heart with life,

Balm is found
In the joy of victors crowned.

And have yet no solace found.
Men to God but partly turning
Find that fear and woes abound.
God will bless
When the flesh
By His Spirit we suppress.
5 Crowns are won by true endeavor,
As all saints have testified.
They have overcome forever,
Strengthened by the Lamb that died.
Likewise we
Cannot be
From the Christian's trials free.
6 Though our flesh to dust be turning,
If our souls in God remain,
On a glorious Easter morning
Day for us shall break again.

Holding sway,
Death must yield its mighty prey.

At His throne a ransomed throng,
Offering thanks to God, the Father,
And to Christ salvation's song.

Over trifles, or regretting
Things not destined to remain;
I shall strive to win a treasure
That will bring me lasting pleasure
And a joy that ne'er shall wane.

Things that pain or that enchant me;
All events must have their day.
What to do I may not tell Him,
Nor to grant my wish compel Him;
When He speaks, I will obey.

He my weary soul will strengthen
In the years that now look dim;
Earthly things are ever going,
Like a river onward flowing;
But I rest in peace on Him.

Him whom heav'n and earth adore;
So may we, with willing feet,
Ever seek Thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare,
So may we, with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to Thee, our heav'nly King.
4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #375 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye, who sang creation's story.
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Refrain:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King. A-men.
2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night;
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the heav'nly light: [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations;
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star: [Refrain]
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear: [Refrain]
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
