The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 905 hymnals Topics: The Church, The Saints Community in Christ 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
we 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 '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.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
with 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. Scripture: Numbers 6:24-26 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Jesus, United by Thy Grace
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals Topics: Church Community in Christ Lyrics: 1. Jesus, united by thy grace
and each to each endeared,
with confidence we seek thy face
and know our prayer is heard.
2. Help us to help each other, Lord,
each other's cross to bear;
let all their friendly aid afford,
and feel each other's care.
3. Up unto thee, our living Head,
let us in all things grow;
till thou hast made us free indeed
and spotless here below.
4. Touched by the lodestone of thy love,
let all our hearts agree,
and ever toward each other move,
and ever move toward thee.
5. To thee, inseparably joined,
let all our spirits cleave;
O may we all the loving mind
that was in thee receive.
6. This is the bond of perfectness,
thy spotless charity;
O let us, still we pray, possess
the mind that was in thee.

Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: James E. Seddon Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Church Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God's own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace:
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all God's mighty deeds;
tell of love which knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
into this most marvelous light;
bringing truth to live within you,
turning blindness into sight;
let your light so shine around you
that God's name is glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God's heart of love;
Christ has brought you home in mercy,
citizens of heav'n above;
let his love flow out to others,
let them feel the Savior's care;
that they too may know his welcome
and his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
be the people Christ intends,
strong in faith and swift to answer
each command your master sends:
royal priests, fulfill your calling
through your sacrifice and prayer,
give your lives in joyful service,
sing his praise, his love declare. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-7 Used With Tune: RIPLEY

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 277 hymnals Topics: Church Community in Christ Lyrics: 1. Blest be the dear uniting love
that will not let us part;
our bodies may far off remove,
we still are one in heart.

where he appoints we go,
and still in Jesus' footsteps tread,
and do his work below.
3. O may we ever walk in him,
and nothing know beside,
nothing desire, nothing esteem,
but Jesus crucified!
4. We all are one who him receive,
and each with each agree,
in him the One, the Truth, we live;
blest point of unity!
5. Partakers of the Savior's grace,
the same in mind and heart,
nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
nor life, nor death can part.

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow
Author: Bernhardt S. Ingemann, 1787-1862; Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 327 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow,
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
Clear before us through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim
stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God's own presence
on the ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
bright'ning all the path we tread.
One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires.
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun.
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love forevermore.
4 Onward, therefore, sisters, brothers;
onward, with the cross our aid.
Bear its shame, and fight its battle
till we rest beneath its shade.
Soon shall come the great awaking;
Soon the rending of the tomb!
Then the scatt'ring of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom. Used With Tune: EBENEZER

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,339 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He whose word cannot be broken
formed you for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply your sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a cov'ring,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name.
Fading are the world's vain pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know.

Author: Maxwell J. Blacker, 1822-1888 Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Only-begotten, Word of God eternal,
Lord of creation, merciful and mighty:
Hear us, your servants, as our tuneful voices
Rise in your presence.
2 Holy this temple where our Lord is dwelling;
This is none other than the gate of heaven.
Ever your children, year by year rejoicing,
Chant in your temple.
3 This is your palace; here your presence-chamber.
Here may your servants, at the mystic banquet
Daily adoring, take your body broken,
Drink of your chalice.
4 Here for your children stands the holy laver,
Fountain of pardon for the guilt of nature;
Cleansed by whose water, springs a race anointed,
Faithful to Jesus.
5 Hear us, O Father, as we throng your temple.
By your past blessings, by your present bounty,
Smile on your children, and in grace and mercy
Hear our petition.
6 God in three Persons, Father everlasting,
Son co-eternal, ever-blessed Spirit:
To you be praises, thanks, and adoration,
Glory forever. Used With Tune: ISTE CONFESSOR Text Sources: Bern, 9th cent.
