Hark! the Church Proclaims her Honor
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Preiswerk Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #461 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Church Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Hark, the Church proclaims her honor,
And her strength is only this:
God hath laid His choice upon her,
And the work she doth is His.
2 He His Church hath firmly founded,
He will guard what He began;
We, by sin and foes surrounded,
Build her bulwarks as we can.
3 Frail and fleeting are our powers,
Short our days, our foresight dim,
And we own the choice not ours,
We are chosen first by Him.
4 Onward, then! For naught despairing,
Calm we follow at His word,
Thus through joy and sorrow bearing
Faithful witness to our Lord.
5 Tho’ we here must strive in weakness,
Though in tears we often bend,
What His might began in meekness
Shall achieve a glorious end.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4 Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT DEN HERRN, DIE MORGENSONNE
Hark! the Church Proclaims her Honor
Built on the Rock the Church doth Stand
Author: Carl Döving; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #467 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Communion of Saints 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 distrest,
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 covenant 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 saving faith may come
Where Christ 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.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN DEN ER ET

The church of Christ, in every age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #486 (1997) Topics: The Church Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating Word.

Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
Author: Edward Osler Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #489 (1941) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: The Church Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way
And speak Thy holy Word.
With love divine their hearts inspire
And touch their lips with hallowed fire
And needful strength afford.
2 Help them to preach the Truth of God,
Redemption thro' the Savior's blood,
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to show'r--
To them a messenger of pow'r;
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to Thee alone,
Then hear the welcome word,"Well done,"
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master's joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise and bliss and love.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 6:7 Languages: English Tune Title: KOMMT HER ZU MIR

The Church of Christ

to be his house, is scattered far and near
in north, and south, and east, and west abroad;
and yet in earth and heav'n, thro' Christ, her Lord,
the church is one.
2 One member may not know another here,
and yet their fellowship is true and near;
one is their Savior, and their Father one;
one Spirit rules them, and among them none
lives to one's self.
3 They live to him who bought them with his blood,
baptized them with his Spirit, pure and good;
and in true faith and ever burning love,
their hearts and hopes ascend to seek above
th'eternal good.
4 O Spirt of the Lord, all life is yours;
now on your church your pow'r and strength out-pour,
that many children may be born to you
and through your knowledge may be brought anew
to sing Christ's praise. Scripture: Romans 12 Languages: English Tune Title: FIDEI UNITAS
