And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee?

Author: Jean Ingelow (1820-1897) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #330 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Lyrics: 1 And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee? And didst Thou take to Heaven a human brow? Dost plead with man’s voice by the marvelous sea? Art Thou his kinsman now? 2 O God, O Kinsman loved, but not enough; O Man, with eyes majestic after death, Whose feet have toiled along our pathways rough, Whose lips drawn human breath: 3 By that one likeness which is ours and Thine, By that one nature which doth hold us kin, By that high Heaven where, sinless, Thou dost shine To draw us sinners in; 4 By Thy last silence in the judgment hall, By long foreknowledge of the deadly Tree, By darkness, by the wormwood and the gall, I pray Thee visit me. 5 Come, lest this heart should, cold and cast away, Die ere the Guest adored she entertain— Lest eyes which never saw Thine earthly day Should miss Thy heavenly reign.

The Church's one Foundation

Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: HPAG1933 #333 (1950) 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 '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. 4 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: HPAG1933 #339 (1950) 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 thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou mayst 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 to 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. Amen. Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Church; Processionals; Zion Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
