Christ is made the sure foundation

Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the Head and Corner-stone, Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one, Holy Sion'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, to-day; 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, for ever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 5 Praise and honour to the Father, Praise and honour to the Son, Praise and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, One in might, and one in glory, While unending ages run.

Christ is our corner-stone

Appears in 187 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone, On Him alone we build; With His true saints above The courts of heaven are filled, On His great love our hopes we place Of present grace and joys above. 2 O then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing; And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long that glorious Name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower on all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore; And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Appears in 710 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare; Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 Thou art coming to a King,-- Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. 3 With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy Blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 4 Lord, I come to Thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There Thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. 5 While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey's end. 6 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people's death.

Come see the place where Jesus lay

Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, see the place where Jesus lay, And hear angelic watchers say, "He lives, Who once was slain: Why seek the living 'midst the dead? Remember how the Saviour said That he would rise again." 2 O joyful sound! O glorious hour, When by His own Almighty power He rose, and left the grave! Now let our songs His triumph tell, Who burst the bands of death and hell, And ever lives to save. 3 The First-begotten of the dead, For us He rose, our glorious Head, Immortal life to bring; What though the saints like Him shall die, They share their Leader's victory, And triumph with their King. 4 No more they tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save, And raise their slumbering dust: O risen Lord, in Thee we live, To Thee our ransom'd souls we give, To Thee our bodies trust.
