My Church, My Church, My Dear Old Church

Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #87 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian 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'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. 4 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ATHENS

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #88 (1982) Topics: Church, Family of Believers Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord, She is His new creation By water and the word; From heaven 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 every 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 every grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [The Church's one foundation]

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SULLIVAN

Built On The Rock, The Church Doth Stand

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #92 (1930) Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the Church doth stand, Even though steeples be falling; Crumble may spires in ev'ry land; Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest. But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest in the Savior. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God the Most High is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He who dwells in heav'n above Deigns to descend to us in love, Making our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house, of living stones Built for His own habitation; He in our hearts as Sov'reign thrones, Granting us life and salvation; Were there but two to seek His face, He would draw near them with His grace, Blessings upon them bestowing. 4 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, Bounteous mercy forth-telling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Grant then, O God, who dwell'st on high, That when the church bells are ringing Many to Jesus may draw nigh Where He His message is bringing: I know Mine own, Mine own know Me, Ye, not the world, My face shall see; My peace I leave with you. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MIRKEN
