Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Worshipbook #325 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Acts of the Church Ordination Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today!
With your wonted loving-kindness
Hear your people as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
3 Here bestow on all your servants
What they ask of you to gain:
What they gain from you forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.
4 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
One in might, and One in glory,
While unending ages run.

Author: Richard F. Littledale; Bianco da Siena Hymnal: The Worshipbook #334 (1972) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: Acts of the Church Ordination Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
Seek out this soul of mine,
And visit it with your own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
Till earthly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let your glorious light
Shine ever on my sight,
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the yearning strong
With which the soul will long
Shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
For none can guess its grace,
Till he become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #338 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ordination Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
4 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down:
did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Unto each waiting heart;
Source of all strength thou art,
Thy gospel bless!

Her lader du det kjende,
Hvorfor dig Gud af Himlen ned
Til Jorden vilde sende:
At Syndere du kunde med
Din Fader vel forlige,
Og give dem ei Blive-Sted
Hos dig i Ærens Rige.

Dem styrker du med Raad og Fred
Og deres Synd forsoner,

Og store Naade kroner.

Og salvet uden Maade
Med Aand og Kraft, som vel er kjendt,

Hos dem med Aand og Styrke staa,

Og om i hele Verden gaa,

Det Embede at ære,
Som du saa høit selv hædre vil,
At jeg dit Ord og Lære
Ei blæser hen i Veir og Vind,
Saa jeg forstokket bliver,
Og i mit flinte-haarde Sind
Til Døden bundet bliver!
5 Det Trøste-Ord, som du har sendt
Til Angergivne alle,
Som har sin Synd med sorg bekjendt,
Lad paa mit Hjerte falde!
Lad mig min Synds Afløsning faa,
Løs her min Synde-Kjæde!
Saa er jeg fri, at jeg kan staa
For Domstol din med Glæde. Languages: Norwegian

Thy tents shall be our home:

The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords' loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly Kingdom comes.

For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.

Listen, let your heart keep seeking
O Spirit of the living God
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #401 (1997) Topics: Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
in all the fullness of thy grace,
wherever human feet hath trod,
descend on our fallen race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
to preach the reconciling word;
give power and unction from above,
whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light,
confusion order, in thy path;
souls without strength in spire with might;
bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
all the round earth its God to meet;
breathe thou abroad like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
the triumphs of the cross record;
the name of Jesus glorify,
till every kindred call him Lord. Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
