O Wondrous Kingdom Here On Earth

Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: ALH1930 #81 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous Kingdom here on earth That Jesus Christ has founded, Thy glory, peace and precious worth No tongue has fully sounded. 2 Invisible as mind and soul, And yet of light the fountain, Thy brightness shines from pole to pole Like beacons from the mountain. 3 Thy secret is the Word of God, Which does what it proposes, Which lowers mountain high and broad And clothes the waste with roses. 4 Thine is the glory of the King, Who bore affliction solely That He the crown of life might bring To sinners poor and lowly. 5 And when His advent comes to pass, The Christian's strife is ended; What here we see as in a glass Shall then be comprehended. 6 Then shall the kingdom bright appear With glory true and vernal And usher in the golden year Of peace and joy eternal.

Great Is The Lord Our God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: ALH1930 #82 (1930) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the Church His abode, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress: How bright has His salvation shone Thro' all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been. 5 In ev'ry new distress We’ll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace And seek deliverance there. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: DURHAM (DOVER)

Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: ALH1930 #85 (1930) 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 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 t'assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity. I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen.

How Blessed Is The Little Flock

Author: C. Doving; N. J. Holm Hymnal: ALH1930 #86 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How blessed is the little flock, Whom Jesus calls His own! He is their Savior and their rock, They trust in Him alone; They walk by faith and hope and love, But they shall dwell with Him above, When hope and faith shall pass away, And love shall last for aye. 2 My Jesus, am I in that band, And wilt Thou call me Thine? Do I among the chosen stand Whose lamps so brightly shine? O let me not lie down to rest Till this I know, my Savior blest, Till I can say, by grace restored: Thou know'st I love Thee, Lord! 3 And even if with tears it be, That this to Thee I say, Yet Thou in grace wilt look on me And wipe my tears away; Yea, when but Thou who all dost know, In me canst find Thy love below And own me Thine, then well is me,-- My all I have in Thee.

My Church, My Church, My Dear Old Church

Hymnal: ALH1930 #87 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Church, my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own! On Prophets and Apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone; All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own. 2 My Church, my Church, my dear old Church, My glory and my pride! Firm in the faith Immanuel taught, She holds no faith beside. Upon this rock, ‘gainst ev'ry shock, Tho' gates of hell assail, She stands secure, with promise sure, They never shall prevail. 3 My Church, my Church, my dear old Church, I've heard the tale of blood, Of hearts that loved her to the death: The great, the wise, the good. Our martyred sires defied the fires For Christ the Crucified; The once delivered faith to keep, They burned, they bled, they died. 4 My Church, my Church, my dear old Church, I love her ancient name; And God forbid, a child of hers Should ever do her shame! Her mother-care I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He Who gave me to her arms Shall call me to His own. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: ATHENS

Praise The Lord That He Has Built

Author: J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: ALH1930 #88 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built Here on earth a sanctuary, Where the soul, oppressed by guilt, Safe beneath His wings may tarry, While His mercy, love and grace All its guilty stains efface. 2 Built upon the rock it stands Firmly through the passing ages, Heeding not the world's demands, Nor the storm that round it rages, But to souls with cares replete It remains a blest retreat. 3 There the wounded hearts are healed, Grace to yearning souls imparted, Light to sightless eyes revealed, Strength renewed in feeble-hearted, So that souls, from weakness prone, Grow like trees in Lebanon. 4 Send us, Lord, Thy heav'nly dove, Open wide Thy living fountain, Deck Thine altar with Thy love, Teach us from Thy holy mountain, Shield us all beneath Thy wing Till, at home, Thy praise we sing.

Jesus, Whom Thy Church Doth Own

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Gerhard Tersteegen Hymnal: ALH1930 #89 (1930) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own As her Head and King alone, Bless me, Thy poor member too, And Thy Spirit's influence give, That to Thee henceforth I live; Daily Thou my strength renew. 2 Let Thy living Spirit flow Thro' Thy members all below, With its warmth and pow'r divine; Scattered far apart they dwell, Yet in ev'ry land, full well, Lord, Thou knowest who is Thine. 3 Those who serve Thee I would serve, Never from their union swerve, Here I cry before Thy face-- Zion, God give thee good speed, Christ thy footsteps ever lead, Make thee steadfast in His ways. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: SULLIVAN

Thou Little Flock, Be Not Afraid

Author: M. Loy; Joh. Mich. Altenburg Hymnal: ALH1930 #90 (1930) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Thou little flock, be not afraid, Tho' foes against thee stand arrayed, All ready to destroy thee; Although thy ruin they prepare And fill thee oft with anxious care, They shall not long annoy thee. 2 Thy cause is God's; this comfort thee; May His, not thine, the vengeance be; Let Him perform His pleasure; The needful help thou shalt obtain; Thee and His Word He will sustain Thro' Christ, His own dear Treasure. 3 As God is God, and true His Word, Fierce Satan and his hellish herd, The world and all their powers Shall reap but shame beneath His rod: God is with us, and we with God: The vict'ry must be ours.
