Vain, delusive world, adieu

Appears in 291 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vain, delusive world, adieu, With all of creature good! Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with His blood: All thy pleasures I forego; I trample on thy wealth and pride; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 2 Other knowledge I disdain; 'Tis all but vanity: Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,-- He tasted death for me. Me to save from endless woe The sin-atoning Victim died: Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 3 Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness, On Jesus to depend; Daily in His grace to grow, And ever in His faith abide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified.

O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made of hands; 2 Grant that all we who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious Corner-stone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace, That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The heads that guide endue with skill; The hands that work preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the topstone in its day. 6 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of Thine own elect; Be Thou in them, and they in Thee, O ever-blessed Trinity!

Whose love secures them all the way, And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ divine and human; Christ exalted in heaven and on earth; Exaltation of Christ; Head of the Church
