Lord Jesus Christ, the Church's Head
Author: Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734; William J. Schaefer, 1891-1976 Hymnal: Christian Worship #861 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.5.6.6.7 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, the Church's head,
you are her one foundation;
in you she trusts, before you bows,
and waits for your salvation.
Built on this rock secure,
your Church shall endure
though all the world decay
and all things pass away.
O hear, O hear us, Jesus!
2 O Lord, let this your little flock,
your name alone confessing,
continue in your loving care,
true unity possessing.
Your sacraments, O Lord,
and your saving Word
to us e'er pure retain;
grant that they may remain
our only strength and comfort.
3 Help us to serve you evermore
with hearts both pure and lowly;
and may your Word, that light divine,
shine on in splendor holy
that we repentance show,
in faith ever grow;
the pow'r of sin destroy
and evils that annoy.
O make us faithful Christians.
4 And for your gospel let us dare
to sacrifice all treasure;
teach us to bear your blessed cross,
to find in you all pleasure.
O grant us steadfastness
in joy and distress.
Lord, for your mercy's sake,
let us by grace partake
of endless joy and glory. Topics: Church Scripture: Matthew 16:16-18 Languages: English Tune Title: REUTER
