Christ hath a garden walled around

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #273 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church The Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ hath a garden walled around, A Paradise of fruitful ground, Chosen by love and fenced by grace From out the world's wide wilderness. 2 Like trees of spice his servants stand, There planted by his mighty hand; By Eden's gracious streams, that flow To feed their beauty where they grow. 3 Awake, O wind of heav'n and bear Their sweetest perfume through the air: Stir up, O south, the boughs that bloom, Till the beloved Master come: 4 That he may come, and linger yet Among the trees that he hath set; That he may evermore be seen To walk amid the springing green. Amen. Scripture: Song of Solomon 4:16 Languages: English Tune Title: LEIGHTON

With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove; who can faint, while such a river ever flows their thirst t'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 he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name: fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #347 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Church The Church of Christ; Christ Head of the Church 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 men 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 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; though there be those that hate her, and false sons in her pale, against or foe or traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 '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. 6 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: Romans 12:5 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #424 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold, And let Thy pity waken! How few the flock within Thy fold, Neglected and forsaken! Men suffer not Thy Word to stand, And faith seems quenched on every hand Dark times have us o'ertaken. 2 With fraud which they themselves invent Thy truth they have confounded; Their hearts are not with one consent On Thy pure doctrine grounded; And, whilst they gleam with outward show, They lead Thy people to and fro, In error's maze astounded. 3 God surely will uproot all those Who with deceits now store us; with haughty tongue they God oppose, And say, "Who stands before us? By right or might we shall prevail; What we determine cannot fail, For who can lord it o'er us?" 4 Then saith our God: I will arise, These wolves My flock are rending; I've heard My people's bitter sighs To heaven, My throne, ascending: My saving Word shall fight And fearlessly and sharply smite, The poor with might defending. 5 As silver tried by fire is pure From all adulteration; So, through God's word, shall men endure Each trial and temptation: Its worth gleams brighter through the cross, And, purified from human dross, It shines through every nation. 6 Defend, O God, Thy truth, and stay This evil generation; And from the error of their way Keep Thine own congregation. The wicked everywhere abound, And would Thy little flock confound, Which, Lord, forbid them. Amen. Tune Title: [Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold]

Hark! what triumphant strains are these

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #531 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Hark! what triumphant strains are these, Which echo through the vault of heaven? "To Jesus once on Calvary slain, The kingdoms of the earth are given." 2 Hark! the new song before the throne, Which only the redeem'd can raise; Angels may tune their golden harps, But cannot reach these notes of praise. 3 They worship our exalted Lord, And hail him universal King; But saints--the purchase of his blood, Can strike a sweeter, nobler string. 4 The wonders of his dying love. Their hallelujahs loud proclaim, While with extatic joy they shout New honours to his sacred name. 5 From every kindred, every tongue, From barbarous nations long unknown, From polish'd Greeks and Scythians rude, A countless host surround the throne. 6 In robes of spotless white array'd, And palms of victory in their hand, With holy wonder and delight, The trophies of his grace they stand. 7 And still till time shall be mo more, The mighty concourse shall increase; And Jesus gain, in heathen lands, New subjects of the reign of peace. Scripture: Revelation 14:3

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #534 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, the Saviour reigns Among the sons of men; He breaks the pris'ners chains, And makes them free again: Let hell oppose God's only Son, In spite of foes his cause goes on. 2 The baffled prince of hell In vain new projects tries, The gospel to repel, By cruelties and lies: Th'infernal gates shall rage in vain; Conquest awaits the Lamb once slain. 3 He died, but soon arose Triumphant o'er the grave: And now himself he shows Omnipotent to save: Let rebels kiss the victor's feet; Eternal bliss his subjects meet. 4 All pow'r is in his hand, His people to defend; To his most high command Shall millions more attend: All heaven with smiles approve his cause; And distant isles receive his laws. 5 This little seed from heaven Shall soon become a tree; This ever blessed leaven Diffus'd abroad must be; Till God the Son shall come again, It must go on. Amen, amen!

Go, ye messengers of God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #545 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go, ye messengers of God, Like the beams of morning fly; Take the wonder-working rod, Wave the banner cross on high! 2 Go to many a tropic isle On the bosom of the deep; Where the skies for ever smile And the blacks for ever weep. 3 Where the golden gates of day Open on the balmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast. 4 Visit ev'ry heathen soil, Ev'ry barren, burning strans,-- Bid each dreary region smile, Lovely as the promis'd land. 5 In yon wilds of stream and shade, Many an Indian wigwam trace; And with words of love persuade Savages to sue for grace. 6 Cirumnavigate the Ball-- Visit ev'ry soil and sea; Preach the cross of Christ to all; Jesus’ love is full and free.

High on his everlasting throne
