How beauteous are their feet
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #148 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Word and the Church Glory of the Word Lyrics: 1 HOW beauteous are at their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal.
2 How charming is their voice!
How sweet their tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Saviour King;
He reigns and triumphs here."
3 How happy are our ears,
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
4 How blessèd are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
6 The Lord makes bare His arm
Through all the earth abroad;
Let all the nations now behold
Their Saviour and their God!
Languages: English
How beauteous are their feet
I love Thy Zion Lord!
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #151 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Word and the Church Loyalty Lyrics: 1 I lOVE Thy Zion Lord!
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
2 I love Thy church, O God!
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3 Should I with scoffers join
Her altars to abuse?
No! better far my tongue were dumb,
My hand its skill should lose.
4 For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers ascend:
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
5 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
6 Jesus, Thou Friend divine,
Our Saviour and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.
7 Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven. Languages: English
I love Thy Zion Lord!
In vain would boasting reason find
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #153 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Word and the Church Glory of the Word Lyrics: 1 IN vain would boasting reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living Way:
Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise,
To shake my faith with treacherous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Languages: English

But give me steadfastness,
And for such grace forever
Thy holy name I'll bless.

My Light, my Life divine,
My only Consolation,
O make me wholly Thine!
For Thou hast dearly bought me
With blood and bitter pain;
Let me, since Thou hast sought me,
Eternal life obtain.

My Comforter and Guide,
Grant that in Jesus' merit
I always may confide,
Him to the end confessing,
Whom I have known by faith.
Give me Thy constant blessing,
And grant a Christian death. Languages: English

With blessings rich provide us,
And may the brightness of His face,
To life eternal guide us;
That we His gracious work may know,
And what is His good pleasure,
And also to the heathen show
Christ's riches without measure,
And unto God convert them.
2 Thine over all shall be the praise
And thanks of every nation,
And all the world with joy shall raise
The voice of exultation;
For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord,
Nor suffer sin to flourish;
Thy people's pasture is Thy Word
Their souls to feed and nourish,
In righteous paths to keep them.

In all good works increasing;
The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth.
Thy Word is rich in blessing.

Let solemn awe possess us.

Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord!
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #168 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Word and the Church Protection of Lyrics: 1 THINE honor rescue, Christ our Lord!
Hear Zion’s sighs, and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of mighty foes,
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.
2 Their craft of vaunting pomp are great;
High beat their hearts, with power elate;
Our dearest hopes they but deride,
They deem us nothing in their pride.
3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive,
Grant us Thy grace and let us live;
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.
4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace,
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
Let it to all the world appear
That Thy true Church indeed is here.
5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim,
Who put'st our enemies to shame,
Dost all their haughtiness suppress,
And help Thine own in their distress.
Languages: English
Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord!
When Israel through the desert passed
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #169 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Word and the Church Power Lyrics: 1 WHEN Israel through the desert passed,
A fiery pillar went before,
To guide them through the dreary waste,
And lessen the fatigues they bore.
2 Such is Thy glorious Word, O God!
'Tis for our light and guidance given;
It sheds its luster all abroad,
And points the path to bliss and heaven
3 It fills the soul with sweet delight,
And quickens its inactive powers;
It sets our wand'ring footsteps right,
Displays Thy love, and kindles ours.
4 Its promises rejoice our hearts;
Its doctrines are divinely true;
While highest wisdom it imparts,
It comforts and instructs us too.
5 Ye favored lands, that have this Word,
Ye saints, who feel its saving power,
Unite your tongues to praise the Lord,
And His distinguished grace adore! Languages: English

Behold the sure Foundation-stone

Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heavenly hopes upon,
And His eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
Let saints adore the name;
They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest
And envy rage in vain
4 What though the gates of hell withstood;
Yet must this building rise:
’Tis Thine own work, Almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes. Languages: English

Christ, Thou art the sure Foundation
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #140 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Topics: The Word and the Church Cornerstone Laying Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, Thou art the sure Foundation,
Thou the Head and Corner-stone;
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Thou Thy Zion’s help forever,
And her Confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts, to-day!
With Thy wonted loving-kindness
Hear Thy servants as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within these walls alway.
3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee forever
With the blessèd to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
4 Praise and honor to the Father,
Praise and honor to the Son,
Praise and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
One in might, and one in glory,
While eternal ages run. Languages: English
Christ, Thou art the sure Foundation
Glorious things of Thee are spoken
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #145 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Topics: The Word and the Church Protection of 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 your 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 Saviour, since 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.
