Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Christmas Bells
Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Church Militant & Trumphant First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of earth, good will to men.
2 I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
3 And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
5 Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Christ is made the sure foundation
Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: The Church Church Buildings Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion's help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
2 All that dedicated city,
Dearly loved of God on high,
In exultant jubilation
Pours perpetual melody;
God the one in Three adoring
In glad hymns eternally.
3 To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts today:
With Thy tender loving-kindness
Hear Thy people as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
5 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
One in might, and One in glory,
While unending ages run. Used With Tune: [Christ is made the sure foundation] Text Sources: Latin, 6th or 7th Century

In Zion's gloomy hour,
And make her dying graces live
By thy restoring power.

To fervent earnest prayer;
Again may they their vows renew,
Thy blessed presence share.
3 Thy Spirit then will speak
Through lips of feeble clay,
And hearts of adamant will break,
And rebels will obey.

Oh, listen to our cry;
Oh, come and bring salvation here:
Our hopes on thee rely. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised land.
2. Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
3. One the light of God’s own presence
O’er his ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
4. One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires;
5. 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:
6. One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the one Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward with the Cross our aid!
Bear its shame and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade;
8. Soon shall come the great awakening,
Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom. Used With Tune: MARCHING
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,257 hymnals Topics: Christ Founder of the Church First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake."
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION
