My Church! My Church!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E39 (1913) Topics: Church First Line: My church! my church! my dear old church! Lyrics: 1 My church! my church! my dear old church! My fathers’ and my own! On Prophets and Apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone! All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown: But not my church, my dear old church, My fathers’ and my own! 2 My church! my church! my dear old church! My glory and my pride! Firm in the faith Immanuel taught, She holds no faith beside. Upon this rock, ‘gainst ev'ry shock, Tho' gates of hell assail, She stands secure, with promise sure, “They never shall prevail.” 3 My church! my church! my dear old church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid, a child of hers Should ever do her shame! Her mother-care, I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms Shall call me to His own. 4 My church! my church! my dear old church! I've heard the tale of blood, Of hearts that loved her to the death-- The great, the wise, the good. Our martyred sires defied the fires For Christ the crucified; The once delivered faith to keep, They burned, they bled, they died. 5 My church! my church! I love my church! For she exalts my Lord! She speaks, she breathes, she teaches not, But from His written Word; And if her voice bids me rejoice, From all my sins released, 'Tis thro' th'atoning sacrifice, And Jesus is the Priest.

The Lord will build his church again

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCCX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hopes of the Church Revival Lyrics: 1 The Lord will build his church again, And in his holy temple reign, And let his waiting people see, Her increase and prosperity. 2 Tho' Zion's walls are broken down, The Lord still claims he4r as his own; Not all the pow'rs of hell below Can cause her final overthrow. 3 Should God appear to hide his face, As if he would withdraw his grace; Yet he beholds with pitying eye, And hears his people when they cry. 4 God will return to their relief, Remove their sorrows and their grief: They who his precious absence mourn, Shall be rejoic'd at his return. 5 They who are griev'd when they behold The church, declining, dead and cold: Shall find, that God will still revive His work, to keep his church alive. 6 His wisdom and his providence, Will ever prove her sure defence; His promis'd aid, his promis'd pow'r Will guard his church for evermore. 7 Remember us, O gracious Lord, Who wait thy promises and word: O cause thy gospel light to shine, That many thousands may be thine.

Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [The Church's one foundation]
