Christ is made the sure Foundation

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 290 hymnals 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, to-day; With Thy wonted loving-kindness, Hear Thy people 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 blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 5 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Amen. Text Sources: Latin, 7th cent.; Hy. Anc. and Mod. 1861, alt.

Christ is our Cornerstone

Author: Rev. John Chandler Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Cornerstone, On Him alone we build: With His true saints alone 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. Amen. Text Sources: Anon. (Latin, 6th or 7th Century)

Christ, of all my hopes the Ground

Author: Rev. Ralph Wardlaw Appears in 173 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the Ground, Christ the Spring of all my joy, Still in Thee may I be found, Still for Thee my powers employ. 2 Fountain of o'erflowing grace, Freely from Thy fulness give; Till I close my earthly race, May I prove it "Christ to live." 3 Firmly trusting in Thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Emmanuel's ground. 4 When I touch the blessèd shore, Back the closing waves shall roll; Death's dark stream shall nevermore Part from Thee my ravished soul. 5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky; Having known it "Christ to live," Let me know it "gain to die." Amen.

For watchful is our foe, And sin is strong, and death is near, And short our time below. 4 Another day of hope! For Thou art with us still, And Thine almighty strength can cope with all who seek our ill. 5 Another day of grace To help us on our way! One step towards the resting-place, The eternal Sabbath-day.

Once He died, our souls to save: Where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head: Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. 5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given: Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Amen.

Days and moments quickly flying

Author: Rev. Edward Caswall Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying Speed us onward to the dead: O how soon shall we be lying Each within his narrow bed! 2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, o wake, each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice. 3 As a shadow life is fleeting; As a vapor so it flies; For the old year now retreating Pardon grant, and make us wise; 4 Wise that we our days may number, Strive and wrestle with our sin, Stay not in our work, nor slumber Till Thy glorious rest we win. 5 Soon before the Judge all glorious We with all the dead shall stand: Saviour, over death victorious, Place us then on Thy right hand. 6 Life passeth soon: Death draweth near: Keep us, good Lord, Till Thou appear; With Thee to live, With Thee to die, With Thee to reign through eternity. Amen. Text Sources: Church Hymns, 1871, recast in

Depth of mercy,! can there be

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Appears in 813 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Depth of mercy! can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear, Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2. I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 3. Kindled His relentings are: Me He now delights to spare; Cries, "How shall I give Thee up?" Lets the lifted thunder drop. 4. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds and spreads His hands. God is Love; I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, but loves me still. Amen.
