The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 858 hymnals Topics: Ecumenism / Interfaith Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the word;
From heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry grace endued.
3 '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.
4 Yet she on earth hath union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 Used With Tune: AURELIA

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, b. 1923 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Ecumenism First Line: O God of ev'ry nation Lyrics: 1 O God of ev'ry nation,
Of ev'ry race and land,
Redeem your whole creation
With your almighty hand;
Where hate and fear divide us
And bitter threats are hurled,
In love and mercy guide us
And heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
And scorn of truth and right,
From trust in bombs that shower
Destruction through the night,
From pride of race and station
And blindness to your way,
Deliver ev'ry nation,
Eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen all who labor
That we may find release
From fear of rattling saber,
From dread of war's increase;
When hope and courage falter,
Your still small voice be heard;
With faith that none can alter,
Uphold us by your word.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
Of days when war shall cease,
When hatred and division
Give way to love and peace,
Till dawns the morning glorious
When Christ alone shall reign
And he shall rule victorious
O'er all the world's domain. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:12 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE
O God of Every Nation
God Is Here
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Church Ecumenism First Line: God is here! As we you people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us, as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe!

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess him
King of Glory now:
'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners,
Unto whom He came,
Faithfully He bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When from death He passed;
3 Bore it up triumphant,
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures,
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
4 Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With His Father's glory
O'er the earth to reign;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 2:9-10 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,238 hymnals Topics: Ecumenism / Interfaith Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last
And our eternal home.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90:1 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Loving the whole human race.

Son of God and Mary's Son,

who from both fore'er proceeds;
who upholds and comforts us
in all trials, fears, and needs.

praise forever be to thee!
