How did my heart rejoice to hear
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:7-9 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear
My friends devoutly say,
In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day.
2 I love her gates--I love the road;
The church, adorned with grace,
Stands like a palace built for God,
To show his milder face.
3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown,
The holy tribes repair:
The Son of David holds his throne,
And sits in judgment there.
4 He hears our praises and complaints,
And while his awful voice
Divides the sinners from the saints,
We tremble and rejoice.
5 Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest;
With holy gifts and heavenly grace
Be her attendants blest!
6 My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains;
Here my best friends, my kindred dwell,
Here God, my Saviour, reigns. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; Delight in the Sabbath and Temple of God

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132 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 wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants 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 forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee 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 might and one in glory,
while unending ages run. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church; Gathering of the Community; Ordination Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Latin (7th cent.)

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 239 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy sev'nfold gifts impart.
2 Thy blessed Unction from above,
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dulness of our blinded sight:

With the abundance of thy grace:
Keep far our foes, give peace at home;
Where thou art Guide, no ill can come:
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee, of both to be but one:
That through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song.

Corner-stone
Author: John Chandler Appears in 187 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:8 First Line: Christ is our Corner-stone Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone;
On him alone we build;
With his true saints alone
The courts of heaven are filled:
On his great love
Of present grace
Our hopes we place,
And joys above.
2 Oh, then with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring!
Our voice we will raise,
The Three in One to sing;
And thus proclaim
Both loud and long,
In joyful song
That glorious Name.
3 Here may we gain from heaven
The grace which we implore,
And may that grace once given,
Be with us evermore,--
Until that day
To endless rest
When all the best
Are called away. Topics: Christ Corner-stone; Church Institutions of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Corner-Stone Used With Tune: WARSAW

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see:
crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest:
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne?
What are the peace and the joy that they own?
O that the blest ones, who in it have share,
all that they feel could as fully declare!
3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
vision of peace, that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er,
nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
6 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
praise to the Father, and praise to the Son,
praise to the Spirit, with them ever one. Topics: Communion of Saints Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

we to rule creation
from its first foundation. [Refrain]

so Christ came for us all--
not the righteous to call--
by his cross and passion,
bringing us salvation! [Refrain]

and his Spirit is given
to all those under heaven
who will walk beside him,
though they once denied him! [Refrain] Used With Tune: PERSONENT HODIE
