Ye Messengers of Christ

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #552 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Ye Messengers of Christ, His sov'reign voice obey; Arise! and follow where he leads, And peace attend your way. 2 The Master, whom ye serve, Will needful strength bestow; Depending on his promis'd aid, With sacred courage go. 3 Mountains shall sink to plains, And hell in vain oppose; The cause is God’s, and must prevail, In spite of all his foes. 4 Go, spread a Saviour’s fame; And tell his matchless grace, To the most guilty and deprav'd Of Adam’s num'rous race. 5 We wish you, in his name, The most divine success; Assur'd that he who sends you forth Will your endeavours bless.

By the holy hills surrounded

Author: C.J.P. Spitta Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #80 (1913) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 By the holy hills surrounded, On her firm base securely rounded, Stands fast the city of the Lord; None shall rend her, walls asunder; On her men look with fear and wonder; And mark who here keeps watch and ward. He slumbers not, nor sleeps, Who His loved Israel keeps, Hallelunah! Happy the race Who through God's grace Shall have in her their dwelling place! 2 Zion's gates Jehovah loveth, And with especial grace approveth; He maketh fast her bolts and bars; Those who dwell in her He blesses, And comforts them in their distresses Who cast on Him their griefs and cares. How wonderful the grace With which He doth embrace All His people! City of God, How sweet the abode On which such blessings are bestowed! 3 Taught in thee is a salvation Unknown to every other nation; There great and holy things are heard; In the midst of thee abiding, Enlightening, comforting, and guiding, Thou hast the Spirit and the word; There breathing peace around Is heard the joyful sound, Grace and mercy! How sweet that is Which here speaks peace, There crowns with everlasting bliss. 4 Mother thou of every nation Which here hath sought and found salvation, O Zion, yet on earth shalt be: Hark, what shouts the air are rending? What cries to heaven's gates ascending! All our fresh springs shall be in thee. From thee the waters burst, To slake our burning thirst, Hallelujah! From sin and death God's own word saith That He alone delivereth. Tune Title: [By the holy hills surrounded]

Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #81 (1913) Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth; Present pardon, peace, and blessing, While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above, Freely given us with salvation, By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies: In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory, Jesus Christ is all in all. Tune Title: [Christ alone is our salvation]

I love Thy kingdom, Lord

Dwight Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #89 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 I love Thy kingdom, Lord; The house of Thine abode; The Church our blessed Redeemer saved With His own precious blood. 2 I love Thy church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall, For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 5 Jesus, Thou Friend divine, Our Savior and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. 6 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven. Tune Title: [I love Thy Kingdom, Lord]

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #427 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide; Nor let Thy word, that heavenly light, For us be ever veiled in night. 2 While sin and death around we see, O grant that we may constant be; And pure retain, till life is spent, Thy precious word and sacrament. 3 Dear Savior, help, Thy Church uphold; For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold; Indue Tyy word with power and grace And spread its truth in every place. 4 Yes, leave us but Thy word, we pray; The fatal wiles of Satan stay; O smile upon Thy Church; give grace, Give courage, patience, love, and peace. 5 O God! how sin's dread works abound, Throughout the earth no rest is found; And wide has falsehood's spirit spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 And ever is there something new Devised to change Thy doctrine true; Lord Jesus! as Thou still dost reign, Those vain, presumptuous minds restrain; 7 And as the cause and glory, Lord, Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford Us help and strength and constancy, And keep us ever true to Thee. 8 Thy word shall fortify us hence, It is Thy Church's sure defense; O let us in its power confide, That we may seek no other guide. 9 Here on Thy Word in faith we lean There Thou shalt be forever seen; And when our journey endeth here, Receive us, Lord, in glory there. Tune Title: [Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide]
