I Love Thy Zion, Lord

Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: HOoS1926 #261 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion, Lord, The house of Thine abode; The Church our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious blood. 2 I love Thy Church, O God; Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend: To her my cares and toil be given Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 5 Jesus, Thou Friend divine, Our Saviour and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. 6 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

Zion Stands with Hills Surrounded

Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure, Their triumph cannot long endure, Let not thy courage fail thee. 2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call, And to His hand commit thine all; Fear thou no ill impending; His Gideon shall arise for thee, God's Word and people manfully, In God's own time, defending. 3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might; Against themselves the godless fight, Themselves, not us, distressing; Shame and contempt their lot shall be; God is with us, with Him are we; To us belongs His blessing.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: HOoS1926 #264 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Church's one Foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord: She is His new creation By water and the Word; From heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By conflicts rent asunder, By heresies distrest, 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 forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

Thy Scepter, Jesus, Shall Extend

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Claude W. Foss Hymnal: HOoS1926 #265 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Thy scepter, Jesus, shall extend As far as day prevaileth; Thy glorious kingdom, without end, Shall stand when all else faileth; Thy blessed Name shall be confessed, And round Thy cross, forever blest, Shall kings and people gather. 2 The child when born to Thee we take, To Thee in death we hasten; In joy we often Thee forsake, But not when sorrows chasten. Where truth and virtue are oppressed, Where sorrow dwells, pain and unrest, Thy help alone availeth. 3 Come, Jesus, then, in weal and woe, In life and death be near us; Thy grace upon our hearts bestow, And let Thy Spirit cheer us, For every conflict strength afford, And gather us in peace, O Lord, When all the world Thou judgest. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Kingdom of Christ; Missions Foreign Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: HOoS1926 #266 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon, He helps us in our ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Ere means us deadly woe: Deep guile and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Jesus Christ, it is He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpower us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fiercely as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit. Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, yea, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth. Amen.

Chosen Seed and Zion's Children

Author: Andreas Carl Rutström, (1721-1772); Claude W. Foss Hymnal: HOoS1926 #267 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Chosen seed and Zion’s children, Ransomed from eternal wrath, Trav'ling to the heav'nly Canaan On a rough and thorny path; Church of God in Christ elected, Thou to God art reconciled, But on earth thou art a stranger, Persecuted and reviled. 2 Still rejoice amid thy trials, Nor regard thy lot amiss; For the kind and loving Saviour Is the source of all our bliss. May He ever be thy portion, He who gave thee life and breath: In His keeping fear no evil Now or in the hour of death. 3 Pleasantly thy lines have fallen Underneath the tree of life; For the Lord is thy salvation, And thy shield in all thy strife: Here the timid bird finds shelter, Here the sparrow finds a nest, Trembling fugitive a refuge, And the weary pilgrim rest. 4 And upon this blest foundation, Lord, our Lord, and Saviour King, May Thy Spirit e’er unite us, To it may we ever cling. May we, members of one body, Grow into a perfect whole; Grant, O Lord, that in Thy people There may be one heart and soul. Amen.

Abide with Us, O Saviour Dear

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Claude W. Foss Hymnal: HOoS1926 #268 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, O Saviour dear, For dark and low'ring clouds appear; And let Thy light, Thy Word divine, Continue in Thy church to shine. 2 This is a dark and evil day, Forsake us not, O Lord, we pray; And let us in our grief and pain They Word and sacraments retain. 3 Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold, For we are weak, indifferent, cold; Give us Thy Spirit and Thy grace, And spread Thy truth in every place. 4 And keep us steadfast in Thy Word, Stay Satan's fatal wiles, O Lord; To us Thy grace and power reveal, And let Thy Church Thy presence feel. 5 And since the cause is Thine, we pray, Do Thou the arm of evil stay; And grace and power and wisdom lend To those who would Thy Word defend. 6 Thy Word is in distress and need Our comfort and defense indeed; By it Thy Church keep pure within And free from error, shame, and sin. 7 Grant that Thy Word may light our way, That we in darkness may not stray, But, through this vale of sin and woe, May to the heavenly mansions go. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: BROOKFIELD

On the Mountain's Top Appearing

Cease thy mourning; Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee; He Himself appears thy Friend; All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliverance Zion's King will surely send. 4 Enemies no more shall trouble; All thy wrongs shall be redressed: For thy loss thou shalt have double, In thy Maker's favor blest: All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest.

Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad, 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands. Amen.
