Built on the Rock the Church Doth Stand

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving; Fred C.M. Hansen Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #351 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church The Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church doth stand, even when steeples are falling; crumbled have spires in every land, bells still are chiming and calling; calling the young and old to rest, calling the souls of men distressed, longing for life everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the Most High is not dwelling; high in the heav'ns his temple stands, all earthly temples excelling. Yet he who dwells in heav'n above deigns to abide with us in love, making our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for his own habitation; he fills our hearts, his humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Were two or three to seek his face, he in their midst would show his grace, blessings upon them bestowing. 4 Yet in this house, an earthly frame, Jesus his children is blessing; higher we come to praise his name, faith in our Savior confessing. Jesus to us his Spirit sent, making with us his covenant, granting his children the kingdom. 5 Now we may gather with our King e'en in the lowliest dwelling; praises to him we there may bring, his wondrous mercy forth-telling. Jesus his grace to us accords, spirit and life are all his words; his truth doth hallow the temple. Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN DEN ER ET

Hark! the song of Jubilee

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #530 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of Jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fullness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore:-- Hallelujah! for the Lord, God omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the depths unto the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around All creation's harmonies;-- See Jehovah's banner furl'd, Sheath'd his sword: he speaks--'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign, when like a scroll Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away:-- Then the end;--beneath his rod Man's last enemy shall fall; Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ is all in all. Scripture: Revelation 14:2

Go through the gates ('tis God commands)

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #549 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Go through the gates ('tis God commands) Workers with God, the charge obey, Remove whate'er his work withstands, Prepare, prepare his people's way. 2 Lift up for all mankind to see The standard of their Saviour god, And point them to the shameful tree, The cross all stain'd with hallow'd blood. 3 Sion, thy suffering Prince behold, Thy Saviour and Salvation too, He comes, he comes, so long foretold, Cloth'd in a vest of bloody hue. 4 Himself prepares his people's hearts, Breaks and binds up, and wounds and heals, A mystic death and life imparts, Empties the full, the emptied fills. 5 He fills whom first he hath prepar'd, With him all needful grace is given, Himself is here their great reward, Their future and their present heaven. Scripture: Isaiah 42:10

What contradictions meet

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #558 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 What contradictions meet In ministers' employ! It is a bitter sweet-- A sorrow full of joy; No other post affords a place For equal honour or disgrace! 2 Who can describe the pain Which faithful preachers feel, Constrain'd to preach in vain, To hearts as hard as steel? Or who can tell the pleasures felt, When stubborn hearts begin to melt? 3 The Saviour's dying love, The soul's amazing worth, Their utmost efforts move, And draw their bowels forth: They pray and strive--their rest departs, Till Christ be form'd in sinners hearts. 4 If some small hope appear, They still are not content; But with a jealous fear, They watch for the event: Too oft they find their hopes deceiv'd; Then how their inmost souls are griev'd! 5 But when their pain succeed, And from the tender blade The rip'ning ears proceed, Their toils are overpaid: No harvest-joy can equal theirs, To find the fruit of all their cares. 6 On what has now been sown Thy blessing, Lord bestow; The power is thine alone, To make it spring and grow; Do thou the gracious harvest raise, And thou, alone, shalt have the praise. Scripture: Galatians 4:16

Fair Sion's King, we suppliant bow

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #593 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ For eletion of Church Officers Lyrics: 1 Fair Sion's King, we suppliant bow, And hail the grace thy church enjoys; Her holy officers are thine With all the gifts thy love employs. 2 Up to thy throne we lift our eyes, For blessings to attend our choice, Of such whose generous, prudent zeal, Shall make thy favour'd ways rejoice. 3 Happy in Jesus, their own Lord, May they his sacred table spread, The table of their pastor fill, And fill the holy poor with bread! 4 When pastor, saints, and poor they serve; May their own hearts with grace be crown'd! While patience, sympathy, and joy, Adorn, and through their lives abound. 5 By purest love to Christ, and truth, O may they win a good degree Of boldness in the Christian faith, And meet the smile of thine and thee! 6 And when the work to them assign'd-- The work of love, is fully done, Call them from serving tables here, To sit around thy glorious throne.
