Hymn 43 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:21 First Line: How vast the treasure we possess! Lyrics: How vast the treasure we possess! How rich thy bounty, King of grace! This world is ours, and worlds to come; Earth is our lodge, and heav'n our home. All things are ours: the gifts of God; The purchase of a Savior's blood; While the good Spirit shows us how To use, and to improve them too. If peace and plenty crown my days, They help me, Lord, to speak thy praise; If bread of sorrows be my food, Those sorrows work my lasting good. I would not change my blest estate For all the world calls good or great; And while my faith can keep her hold, I envy not the sinner's gold. Father, I wait thy daily will; Thou shalt divide my portion still; Grant me on earth what seems thee best, Till death and heav'n reveal the rest.

They Did Not Build in Vain

Author: Alan Luff (1928-) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10-23 Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain, for still, to those who wish to see, this place proclaims God's mystery. 2 They built upon the rock that is the risen Lord, the one foundation laid which stands each earthly shock; that, Spirit filled, we here might raise, as living temples, prayer and praise. 3 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race, and so we lay aside each sin in our desire to strive and win. 4 Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end; in him alone our faith shall stand who waits for us at God's right hand. 5 In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed; the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled; yet still the Spirit's wind and fire pour gifts for service in this hour. 6 Here is our meeting place, where doubt finds grounds of faith; where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace; where bridging time to eternity is God the holy Trinity.
