Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 909 hymnals Topics: Body of Christ; Confessing Faith; Unity; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, our Lord; we are a new creation by water and the Word. From heav’n he came and taught us what perfect love can be; through life and death he sought us, and rose to set us free. 2 The church in ev’ry nation is one through all the earth; our charter of salvation, one God, one faith, one birth; one name together blessing, one holy food we share, to one hope ever pressing, at one in work and prayer. 3 Still, schisms, tribulation, and hatred fuel our war; we wait the consummation of peace forevermore. The saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 Yet we on earth have union with God, the Three in One, and mystic, sweet communion with those whose rest is won. Oh, happy ones and holy! God, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: Psalm 126 Used With Tune: AURELIA Text Sources: Lyra Fidelium, 1866, alt.

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-67 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Confession of Faith Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, the house of God not made with hands, a great High Priest our nature wears, the Saviour of the world appears. 2 He who for us our surety stood, and poured on earth his precious blood, pursues in heaven his plan of grace, the Saviour of the human race. 3 Though now ascended up on high, he bends on earth a brother's eye; partaker of the human name, he knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains a fellow-feeling of our pains, and still remembers in the skies his tears, his agonies and cries. 5 In every pain that rends the heart the Man of Sorrows has a part; he sympathizes with our grief, and to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at God's throne let us make all our sorrows known, and ask the aid of heavenly power to help us in the evil hour.
