Be not dismayed, thou little flock

Author: Johann Michael Altenberg; Anonymous; Elizabeth Rundle Charles; Luther D. Reed Hymnal: LHTC1918 #196 (1917) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock, Although the foe's fierce battle shock, Loud on all sides, assail thee. Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure, Their triumph cannot long endure: Let not thy courage fail thee. 2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call, And to His hand commit thine all; Fear thou no ill impending: His Gideon shall arise for thee, God's Word and people manfully, In God's own time, defending. 3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might; Against themselves the godless fight, Themselves, not us, distressing; Shame and contempt their lot shall be; God is with us, with Him are we: To us belongs His blessing. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, hear our cry; Stir up Thy power, come from on high, Defend Thy congregation; So shall Thy Church, through endless days, Give thanks to Thee and chant Thy praise In joy and adoration. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: KOMMT HER ZU MIR, SPRICHT GOTTES SOHN

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #197a (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, City of our God; He, Whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove, Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst assuage, Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near; Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading are the worldling's pleasures, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: LHTC1918 #198 (1917) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word; From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy Bride, With His own Blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one Faith, one Birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy Food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though, with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till, with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Zion stands with hills surrounded

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: LHTC1918 #200 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Zion stands with hills surrounded; Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine; Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine! 2 Every human tie may perish, Friend to friend unfaithful prove, Mothers cease their own to cherish, Heaven and earth at last remove; But no changes Can attend Jehovah’s love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in His sight; God is with thee, God, thine Everlasting Light. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLBORN

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Bernhardt Severin Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: LHTC1918 #201 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light: Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 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: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires; 3 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: 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! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon the rending of the tomb; Then the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

Rise, ye children of salvation

Author: Justus Falckner; Emma Frances Bevan Hymnal: LHTC1918 #202 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Rise, ye children of salvation, All who cleave to Christ the Head! Wake, arise, O mighty nation, Ere the foe on Zion tread; He draws nigh, and would defy All the hosts of God Most High. 2 Saints and heroes, long before us, Firmly on this ground have stood; See their banner waving o’er us, Conquerors through the Saviour’s Blood! Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the Blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great name; we cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward,-- When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord,-- "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER

O where are kings and empires now

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: LHTC1918 #203 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O where are kings and empires now, Of old, that went and came? But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2 We mark her goodly battlements And her foundations strong; We hear, within, the solemn voice Of her unending song. 3 For not like kingdoms of the world Thy Holy Church, O God! Though earthquake shocks are threatening And tempests are abroad. 4 Unshaken as th'eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made with hands. Amen.

Far down the ages now

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: LHTC1918 #204 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Far down the ages now, Her journey not yet done, The pilgrim Church pursues her way, And longs to reach her crown. 2 No wider is the gate, No broader is the way, No smoother is the ancient path That leads to light and day. 3 No feebler is the foe, No slacker grows the fight, Nor less the need of armor tried, Of shield and helmet bright. 4 Thus onward still we press, Through evil and through good, Through pain, or poverty, or want, Through peril or through blood. 5 Still faithful to our God, And to our Captain true, We follow where He leads the way, The Kingdom still in view. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NARENZA
