Saviour, when in dust to Thee

Author: Sir Robert Grant Appears in 444 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee Low we bow the adoring knee, When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes, O by all the pains and woe Suffered once for man below,-- Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy helpless infant years, By Thy life of want and tears, By Thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's power,-- Turn, O turn a favoring eye, Hear our solemn litany. 3 By the sacred griefs that wept O'er the grave where Lazarus slept, By the boding tears that flowed Over Salem's loved abode, By the anguished sigh that told Treachery lurked within Thy fold,-- From Thy seat above the sky, Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thine hour of dire despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn, By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice,-- Listen to our humble cry, Hear our solemn litany. 5 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault, whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God,-- O from earth to heaven restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Listen, listen to the cry Of our solemn litany. Amen. Used With Tune: BLUMENTHAL

The Church's one Foundation

Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Appears in 871 hymnals 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 for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 5 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.

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts; Rev. John Wesley Appears in 971 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy Name? Almighty Maker, to Thy Name? 4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. When rolling years shall cease to move. Amen.

O Fire of love! The sweet Anointing from above! 3 The sacred sevenfold grace is Thine, Dread Finger of the hand Divine: The promise of the Father Thou, Who dost the tongue with power endow. 4 Our senses touch with light and fire; Our hearts with charity inspire; And with endurance from on high The weakness of our flesh supply. 5 Far back our enemy repel, And let Thy peace within us dwell; So may we, having Thee for Guide, Turn from each hurtful thing aside. 6 O may Thy grace on us bestow The Father and the Son to know, And ever more to hold confessed Thyself of each the Spirit blest.
