Christ is made the sure foundation

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Procession Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation, And the precious corner-stone, Who, the two walls underlying, Bound in each, binds both in one, Holy Sion's help for ever, and our confidence alone. 2 All that dedicated city, Dearly loved by God on high, In exultant jubilation Pours perpetual melody, God the One, in Threefold glory, Singing everlastingly. 3 To this temple, where we call thee, Come, O Lord of hosts, today; With thy wonted loving-kindness, Hear thy people as they pray; And thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls for ay. 4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants Gifts of grace by prayer to gain; Here to have and hold for ever, Those good things their prayers obtain, And hereafter, in thy glory, With thy blessèd ones to reign. 5 Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in love, and One in splendour, While unending ages run. Amen. Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Latin, c. 7th century

Alleluya! 3 O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old, And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Alleluya! Alleluya! 4 O blest communion! fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluya! Alleluya! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluya! Alleluya! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest: Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluya! Alleluya! 7 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The Saints triumphant rise in bright array: The King of glory passes on his way. Alleluya! Alleluya! 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluya! Alleluya!

The watery deep we pass, With Jesus in our view, And through the howling wilderness Our way pursue. 3 *The goodly land we see, With peace and plenty blest, A land of sacred liberty And endless rest; There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound, And trees of life for ever grow With mercy crowned. 4 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace: On Sion's sacred height His kingdom he maintains, And glorious with his saints in light For ever reigns. 5 *Before the Saviour's face The ransomed nations bow, O'erwhelmed at his almighty grace For ever new: He shows the prints of love-- They kindle to a flame, And sound through all the worlds above The slaughtered Lamb. 6 Before the great Three-One They all exulting stand, And tell the wonders he has done Throughout the land: The listening spheres attend, And swell the growing fame, And sing in songs which never end The wondrous name. 7 The God who reigns on high The great archangels sing, And 'Holy, holy, holy' cry 'Almighty King!' Who was, and is the same, And evermore shall be: Eternal Father, great I AM, We worship thee.' 8 The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high: 'Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost' They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine!

Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.
