God's word is our great heritage
Author: Ole G. Belsheim, 1861 - 1925; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig, 1783 - 1872 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: The Holy Scriptures Lyrics: God's Word is our great heritage,
And shall be ours forever;
To spread its light from age to age

In death it is our stay;

Thy Church may hold it fast
Throughout all generations.

God's word is our great heritage
The church's one Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 905 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures 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 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 The church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
To guide, sustain and cherish
Is with her to the end;
Though there be those that hate her,
And false sons in her pale,
Against or foe or traitor
She ever shall prevail.
5 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
6 Yet she on earth hath union
With the 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: Romans 12:5 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 475 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning;
Zion in triumph begins her mild reign.
2 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Long by the prophets of Israel foretold!
Hail to the millions from bondage returning!
Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold.
3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing,
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain tops echoes are ringing,
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.
4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean,
Praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion,
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-2 Used With Tune: WESLEY

Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love,

How Beauteous Are Their Feet
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!.

How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Savior, King;
He reigns and triumphs here!"

That hear this joyful sound
Which kings and prophets waited for
And sought, but never found!

That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.

And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.

Through all the earth abroad;

Their Savior and their God! Scripture: Isaiah 52:7-10 Used With Tune: DENNIS

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Scriptures, The Holy Lyrics: 1 O come, my people, to my law
Attentively give ear;
With willing heart and teachable
The words of wisdom hear.
2 My mouth shall speak in parables
Of hidden truths of old,
Which, handed down from age to age,
To us our fathers told.
3 We will not from their children hide
Jehovah's worthy praise,
But tell the greatness of His strength,
His wondrous works and ways.
4 A testimony and a law
The Lord our God decreed,
And bade our fathers teach their sons,
That they His ways might heed.
5 He willed that each succeeding race
His deeds might learn and know,
That children's children to their sons
Might all these wonders show.
6 Let children learn God's righteous ways
And on Him stay their heart,
That they may not forget His works,
Nor from His ways depart.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 78:1-8 Used With Tune: HEBER (Kingsley) Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
