Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HOoS1926 #271 (1926) 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 to assuage; Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, if 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.

With God and His mercy, His Spirit, and Word

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, (1816-1868) Hymnal: HOoS1926 #272 (1926) Meter: 11.11.11.6.6.11 Lyrics: 1 With God and His mercy, His Spirit, and Word, And loving communion at altar and board, We meet with assurance the dawn of each day: The Shepherd is with us, The Shepherd is with us, To lead and protect us, and teach us the way. 2 In perilous times, amid tempests and night, A band presses on through the gloom toward light; Though humble, and meek, and disowned by the world, They follow the Saviour, They follow the Saviour, And march on to glory, with banners unfurled. 3 While groveling worldlings with dross are content, And ever on sin and transgression are bent, I follow, victorious hosts, at your word, And march on to glory, And march on to glory, We march on to glory, our captain the Lord. 4 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear, Though none of my kindred that emblem may wear; I joyfully follow the champions of right, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, with weapons of might. 5 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will; And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Names and Office of Christ Shepherd Languages: English Tune Title: ACK, SALIGA STUNDER

My Church! My Church!

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #276 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: My Church! my Church! my dear old Church! 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! 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. 3 My Church! my Church! I love my Church, For she doth lead me on To Zion’s palace beautiful, Where Christ my Lord hath gone. From all below she bids me go To Him, the Life, the Way, The Truth to guide my erring feet From darkness into day. 4 Then here, my Church! my dear old Church! Thy child would add a vow, To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow:-- Assault who may, kiss and betray, Dishonor and disown, My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own!
