O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
Author: Dr. J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 99 hymnals Topics: Church Laying foundation; Foundation Of a Church; Foundation Stone; Church Laying foundation; Foundation Of a Church; Foundation Stone Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
The bounds of the eternal hills,
And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands,
To dwell in temples made with hands.
2 Grant that all we who here to-day
Rejoicing this foundation lay,
May be in very deed Thine own,
Built on the precious Corner-Stone.
3 Endue the creatures with the grace
That shall adorn Thy dwelling place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them Thine.
4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee
The treasures of the earth and sea;
And when we bring them to Thy throne
We but present Thee with Thine own.
5 The heads that guide endue with skill;
The hands that work preserve from ill;
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day. Used With Tune: SAMSON
O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
Only in Thee
Author: T. O. Chisholm Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Christ Christ as a Foundation First Line: Only in Thee, O Savior mine Lyrics: 1 Only in Thee, O Savior mine,
Dwelleth my soul in peace divine,
Peace that the world, tho' all combine,
Never can take from me.
Pleasures of earth, so seemingly sweet,
Fail at the last my longings to meet;
Only in Thee my bliss is complete,
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
2 Only in Thee a radiance bright,
Shines like a beacon in the night,
Guiding my pilgrim bark aright,
Over life’s trackless sea.
Only in Thee, when troubles molest,
When with temptation I am oppressed,
There is a sweet pavilion of rest,
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
3 Only in Thee, when days are drear,
When neither sun nor stars appear,
Still I can trust and feel no fear,
Sing when I cannot see.
Only in Thee, whatever betide,
All of my need is freely supplied;
There is no help nor helper beside,
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
4 Only in Thee, dear Savior, slain,
Losing Thy life my own to gain,
Trusting, I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain;
Thou art my only plea.
Only in Thee my heart will delight,
Till in that land where cometh no night
Faith will be lost in heavenly sight,
Only, dear Lord, in Thee!
Used With Tune: [Only in Thee, O Savior mine]
Only in Thee
Psalm 118
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Christ the church's foundation First Line: Lo! what a glorious corner-stone Lyrics:
Lo! what a glorious corner-stone
The Jewish builders did refuse;
But God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envy and the Jews.
Great God, the work is all divine,
The joy and wonder of our eyes;
This is the day that proves it thine,
The day that saw our Savior rise.
Sinners, rejoice; and saints, be glad;
Hosanna, let his name be blest;
A thousand honors on his head,
With peace, and light, and glory rest!
In God's own name he comes to bring
Salvation to our dying race;
Let the whole church address their King
With hearts of joy and songs of praise.
Scripture: Psalm 118:22-27

When loud the tempest rages.

On visions of earthly treasure;
Some build on the waves of sin and strife,
Of fame, and worldly pleasure. [Chorus]

The firm and the true foundation;
Its hope is the hope which shall endure,
The hope of our salvation. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We'll build on the Rock, the living Rock]

Christ is the foundation
Author: Dr. John S. Monsell, 1811-1875 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Christ Foundation; Christ Foundation Lyrics: 1 Christ is the foundation
Of the house we raise;
Be its walls salvation,
And its gateways praise;
May its threshold lowly
To the Lord be dear,
May the hearts be holy
That shall worship here.
2 Here the vow be sealed
By Thy Spirit, Lord;
Here the sick be healed,
And the lost restored;
Here the broken-hearted
Thy forgiveness prove;
Here the friends long parted
Be restored to love.
3 Here may every token
Of Thy presence be;
Here may chains be broken,
Prisoners here set free;
Here may light illumine
Every soul of Thine,
Lifting up the human
Into the divine.
4 Here may God the Father,
Christ the Saviour--Son,
With the Holy Spirit,
Be adored as One;
Till the whole creation
At Thy footstool fall,
And in adoration
Own Thee Lord of all. Used With Tune: FOUNDATION
Christ is the foundation
Deliverance from a Tumult
Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Christ the church's foundation; Christ the church's foundation First Line: The Lord appears my helper now Lyrics: 1 The Lord appears my helper now,
Nor is my faith afraid
What all the sons of earth can do,
Since heaven affords its aid.
2 'Tis safer, Lord, to hope in thee,
And have my God my friend,
Than trust in men of high degree,
And on their truth depend.
3 'Tis thro' the Lord my heart is strong,
In him my lips rejoice;
While his salvation is my song,
How cheerful is my voice!
4 Like angry bees they girt me round;
When God appears they fly;
So burning thorns with crackling sound
Make a fierce blaze, and die.
5 Joy to the saints and peace belongs;
The Lord protects their days:
Let Israel tune immortal songs
To his Almighty grace. Scripture: Psalm 118:6-15
Deliverance from a Tumult
Corner-Stone
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Christ Foundation First Line: Lord, dost thou shew a corner-stone Lyrics: 1 Lord dost thou shew a corner-stone,
For us to build our hopes upon,
That the fair Edifice may raise
Sublime in light beyond the skies?
2 We own the work of sovereign love;
Nor death nor hell these hopes shall move,
Which fix'd on this foundation stand,
Laid by thy own almighty hand.
3 Thy people long this stone have tried,
And all the powers of hell defy'd;
Floods of temptation beat in vain;
Well doth this rock the house sustain.
4 When storms of wrath around prevail,
Whirlwind and thunder, fire and hail,
'Tis here our trembling souls shall hide,
And here securely they abide:
5 While they that scorn this precious stone,
Fond of some Quicksand of their own,
Borne down by weighty vengeance die,
And buried deep in ruin lie.
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6

he chose you through mercy free
to show forth his matchless praises
and rich fruit, blessed for the Master's use,

2 Gracious Lord,
gracious Lord,
blessed is our lot indeed
in your ransomed congregation;
here we on your merits feed,
and the well-springs of salvation,
all the needy to revive and cheer,
stream forth here,
forth here.
3 We entreat,
we entreat,
Lord, lift up your countenance
on your ransomed congregations;
grace to ev'ry soul dispense.
May we in our situations
daily in your great salvation share.
Hear our prayer,
hear our prayer.
