As Thou, dear Lord, on me.
’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold,
As Thou, dear Lord, on me.

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee!

The Church's One Foundation

Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word;
From heaven 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 every 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 every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore 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 her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore,
Till with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah!
'Tis good our God to praise;
'Tis pleasant and becoming
To Him our songs to raise;
He builds the walls of Zion,
He seeks her wand'ring sons,
He binds their wounds and comforts
The brokenhearted ones.
2 The starry host He numbers,
He calls them all by name;
His greatness and His wisdom
His wondrous works proclaim;
The meek He lifts to honor,
he humbles sinful pride;
Give thanks to Him and utter
His praises far and wide.
3 The heav'ns with clouds He covers,
He sends the cheering rain;
The slopes of all the mountains
He fills with grass and grain;
To beast and bird His goodness
Their daily food supplies;
He cares for all His creatures,
Attentive to their cries.
4 No human pow'r delights Him,
No earthly pomp or pride;
He loves the meek who fear Him
And in His love confide;
Then praise thy God, O Zion,
His gracious aid confess;
He gives thee peace and plenty,
His gifts thy children bless.
5 He sends His swift commandment,
And snow and ice enfold
The world, and none are able
To stand before His cold.
Again He gives commandment;
The winds of summer blow,
The snow and ice are melted,
Again the waters flow.
6 His statutes and His judgments
He makes His people know;
To them as to no others
His grace He loves to show;
For matchless grace and mercy
Your grateful praises bring;
To Him give thanks forever,
And Hallelujah sing.

whom we, that have not seen your face,
by faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
2 You will not leave us in the dust;
you gave us life, we know not why.
We trust we were not made to die,
for you have made us, you are just.
3 In you meet human and divine,
the highest, holiest union known.
We falsely call our powers our own
until our wills with yours combine.
4 Our little systems have their day;
they have their day and cease to be;
They are but fleeting certainty,
and you, O Christ, are more than they.
5 We have but faith; we cannot know,
for knowledge is of things proved true;
And yet we trust it comes from you,
a sign of promise; let it grow.
6 Let knowledge grow from more to more,
but more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
may make one music as before. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM

Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean!

Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way;
No foes, no violence I fear,
No fraud, while Thou, my God, art near.
4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
Jesus, Thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head, and cheer my heart.

Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee;
O let Thy hand support me still,
And lead me to Thy holy hill!

My strength proportion to my day;
Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease,
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace. Languages: English Tune Title: OMBERSLEY

My spirit looks to God alone
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #473 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: or, Faith in Divine Grace and Power Lyrics: 1 My spirit looks to God alone;
My rock and refuge is his throne;
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on his salvation waits.
2 Trust him, ye saints, in all your ways,
Pour out your hearts before his face:
When helpers fail, and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
3 False are the men of high degree,
The baser sort are vanity;
Laid in the balance, both appear
Light as a puff of empty air.
4 Make not increasing gold your trust,
Nor set your hearts on glittering dust;
Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke,
And not believe what God hath spoke?
5 Once has his awful voice declared,
Once and again my ears have heard,
"All power is his eternal due:
He must be fear'd and trusted too."
6 For Sovereign power reigns not alone,
Grace is a partner of the throne:
Thy grace and justice, mighty Lord,
Shall well divide our last reward.
My spirit looks to God alone

My calling to fulfil;
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL

who, praising him, finds energy and rest.
All who praise God with unaffected joy
give back to us the wisdom we destroy.

while praising him we offer all we have.
New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,
when Jesus leads us upward into light.
3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns;
who praises God all human wrath disowns.
Love knows what rich complexities of sound
God builds upon a simple, common ground.
4 God is our silence when no songs are sung,
when ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.
Glorious the faith which silently obeys
until we find again the voice of praise. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-10 Languages: English Tune Title: MORESTEAD
