Angel voices ever singing

Author: Francis Pott, 1832- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #44 (1917) Topics: Church Militant Lyrics: 1. Angel voices ever singing Round Thy throne of light, Angel harps for ever ringing Rest not, day nor night; Thousands only live to bless Thee, And confess Thee Lord of might! 2. Thou, who art beyond the farthest Mortal eye can scan Can it be that Thou regardest Songs of sinful man? Can we know that Thou art near us, And wilt hear us? Yes! we can. 3. Yes! we know that Thou rejoicest O'er each work of Thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For Thy praise design; Craftsman's art and music's measure For Thy pleasure All combine. 4. In Thy house, great God, we offer Of Thine own to Thee; And for Thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds, and hands and voices, In our choicest Psalmody. 5. Honour, glory, might, and merit, Thine shall ever be! Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity! Of the best that Thou hast given, Earth and heaven Render Thee.

Built on the Rock

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; C. Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #211 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Church Militant First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land, Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the Most High, is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling. Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forthtelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 6 Here stands the font before our eyes, Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today, the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That, when the church-bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: "I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see; My peace I leave with you, Amen."
