Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals 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 and stay;
With all your loving-kindness
hear you people as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls today.
3. Grant, we pray, to all your faithful
all the gifts they ask to gain;
what they gain from you forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with thee to reign.
4. Praise and honor to the Father,
praise and honor to the Son,
praise and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one;
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run!

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release;
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find.

Virgin pure, behold him lie,
While his aged saints adore him
Ere in faith and hope they die.

See th' incarnate God most high!

Lo! He Comes, with Clouds Descending
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 768 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
once for our salvation slain;
thousand thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
2 Every eye shall now behold him,
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at naught and sold him
pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.
3 Those dear tokens of his passion
still his dazzling body bears,
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshipers;
with what rapture, with what rapture
gaze we on those glorious scars!
4 Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
high on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory,
claim the kingdom for thine own:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone.

Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 539 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious,
see the Man of Sorrows now,
from the fight returned victorious,
ev'ry knee to him shall bow.
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crowns become the Victor's brow.
2. Crown the Savior, angels, crown him,
rich the triumphs Jesus brings;
in the seat of pow'r enthrone him
while the vault of heaven rings:
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.
3. Sinners in derision crowned him,
mocking thus the Savior's claim;
saints and angels throng around him,
own his title, praise his name.
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.
4. Hark, those bursts of acclamation,
hark, those loud triumphant chords,
Jesus takes the highest station,
oh, what joy the sight affords.
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords!
