Thou, whose almighty word

Author: J. Marriott Hymnal: LHPN1913 #123 (1913) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose almighty word Chaos and darkness heard, And took their flight: Hear us, we humbly pray, And where the gospel day Sheds not its glorious ray, Let there be light! 2 Thou who didst come to bring On Thy redeeming wing, Healing and sight, Health to the sick in mind, Sight to the inly blind, Oh now, to all mankind, Let there be light! 3 Spirit of truth and love, Life-giving, holy Dove, Speed forth Thy flight; Move on the waters' face Spreading the beams of grace, And in earth's darkest place, Let there be light! 4 Holy and blessed Three, Glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love, Might; Boundless as ocean's tide, Rolling in fullest pride, Through the world, far and wide, Let there be light!

O Spirit of the living God!

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #125 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God! In all the fullness of Thy grace, Where’er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race! 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above, Whene’er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light! Confusion, order in Thy path! Souls without strength inspire with might; Bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 O Spirit of the Lord! prepare All the round earth her God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad, like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 6 God from eternity hath willed All flesh shall His salvation see: So be the Father’s love fulfilled, The Savior’s sufferings crowned through Thee.

Unchanging God, hear from eternal heaven

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: LHPN1913 #126 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Unchanging God, hear from eternal heaven: We plead Thy gifts of grace, forever given, Thy call, without repentance, calling still, The sure election of Thy sovereign will. 2 Out of our faith in Thee, who canst not lie, Out of our heart’s desire, goes up the cry, From hope’s sweet vision of the thing to be, From love to those who still are loved by Thee. 3 Bring Thy beloved back, Thine Israel, Thine own elect who from Thy favor fell, But not from Thine election!--O forgive, Speak but the word, and lo! the dead shall live. 4 Father of mercies! these the long astray, These in soul-blindness now the far-away, These are not aliens, but Thy sons of yore, O, by Thy Fatherhood, restore, restore! 5 Breathe on Thy Church, that it may greet the day; Stir up her will to toil, and teach, and pray, Till Zionward again salvation come, And all her outcast children are at home. 6 Triune Jehovah, Thine the grace and power, Thine all the work, its past, its future hour; O Thou, who failest not, Thy gifts fulfill, And crown the calling of Thy changeless will.

Lord, Thine ancient people see

Author: E. Harland Hymnal: LHPN1913 #127 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thine ancient people see, Captive still, in darkness bound; Let Thy gospel set them free, Let them hear its joyful sound. 2 Still the veil is on their heart: Rend it, Lord, at length in twain; Bid their unbelief depart, Bring them to Thy fold again. 3 Let Thy love their blindness heal; God of Israel, hear our prayer; Let Thy grace their pardon seal, Still Thy covenant let them share. 4 Harp of Judah, long unstrung, Sound at length the Savior's praise; Jew and Gentile, old and young, Loud the glad Hosanna raise.

Eternal Son of God, O Thou

Author: A. J. Rambach Hymnal: LHPN1913 #128 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of prayer and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see; Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou,our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 Praise to the Father, and the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One; Blest Trinity whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.

Christ is made the sure foundation

Hymnal: LHPN1913 #129 (1913) 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 today: With Thy tender 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.

Christ is our cornerstone

Hymnal: LHPN1913 #130 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 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 Forevermore draw nigh: Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower On all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessing 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 Thou now, and be among us

Hymnal: LHPN1913 #131 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Come Thou now, and be among us, Lord and Maker, while we pray: Let Thy presence fill the temple Which we dedicate to-day; And, Thyself its consecrator, Dwell within its walls alway. 2 Grant that all Thy faithful people May Thy truer temple be; Neither flesh, nor soul, nor spirit, Know another Lord than Thee; But, to Thee once dedicated, Serve Thee everlastingly. 3 Bright be here Jehovah's altar With the presents that we bring, Held in holy veneration, Rich with many an offering; Ever hallowed, ever quiet, Ever dear to God, its king. 4 Here our souls, as Thy true altars, Deign to hallow and to bless, O Thou future Judge of all men, With Thy grace and holiness; That Thy gifts sent down from heaven, We may evermore possess.

Built on the Rock the Church doth stand

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: LHPN1913 #132 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land. Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distrest, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling, High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He who heavens cannot contain Chose to abide our earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Built for His own habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King; E'en in the lowliest dwelling: Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy foretelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 6 Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That when the church bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see: My peace I leave with you, Amen.
