Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory

Author: W. C. Doane Hymnal: LHPN1913 #74 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory; To Thee all knees are bent, all voices pray; Thy love hath blest the wide world’s wondrous story With light and life since Eden’s dawning day. 2 O Holy Father, who hast led Thy children In all the ages, with the Fire and Cloud, Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering; To Thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed. 3 O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace, and Savior, To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails, Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior, And calming passion’s wild and stormy gales. 4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-Giver, Thine is the quickening power that gives increase; From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river, Our plenty, wealth, prosperity, and peace. 5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring, Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days; Pray we, that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

Praise the Rock of our salvation

Author: B. Webb Hymnal: LHPN1913 #77 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Praise the Rock of our salvation, Laud His name from zone to zone; On that rock the Church is builded, Christ himself the corner-stone; Vain against our rock-built Zion Winds and waters, fire and hail; Christ is in her midst; against her Sin and hell shall not prevail. 2 Built of living stones, cemented By the Spirit's unity, Based on prophets and apostles, Firm in faith and stayed on Thee, May Thy Church, O Lord Incarnate, Grow in grace, in peace, in love; Emblem of the heavenly Zion, The Jerusalem above. 3 Where Thou reignest, King of Glory, Throned in everlasting light, Midst Thy saints, no more is needed Sun by day, nor moon by night: Soon may we those portals enter When this earthly strife is o'er; There to dwell with saints and angels, In Thy presence evermore.

The Church's one foundation

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: LHPN1913 #78 (1913) 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 forevermore; 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 seek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee!

Spitta Hymnal: LHPN1913 #80 (1913) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 By the holy hills surrounded, On her firm base securely rounded, Stands fast the city of the Lord; None shall rend her, walls asunder; On her men look with fear and wonder; And mark who here keeps watch and ward. He slumbers not, nor sleeps, Who His loved Israel keeps, Hallelunah! Happy the race Who through God's grace Shall have in her their dwelling place! 2 Zion's gates Jehovah loveth, And with especial grace approveth; He maketh fast her bolts and bars; Those who dwell in her He blesses, And comforts them in their distresses Who cast on Him their griefs and cares. How wonderful the grace With which He doth embrace All His people! City of God, How sweet the abode On which such blessings are bestowed! 3 Taught in thee is a salvation Unknown to every other nation; There great and holy things are heard; In the midst of thee abiding, Enlightening, comforting, and guiding, Thou hast the Spirit and the word; There breathing peace around Is heard the joyful sound, Grace and mercy! How sweet that is Which here speaks peace, There crowns with everlasting bliss. 4 Mother thou of every nation Which here hath sought and found salvation, O Zion, yet on earth shalt be: Hark, what shouts the air are rending? What cries to heaven's gates ascending! All our fresh springs shall be in thee. From thee the waters burst, To slake our burning thirst, Hallelujah! From sin and death God's own word saith That He alone delivereth.

Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #81 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth; Present pardon, peace, and blessing, While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above, Freely given us with salvation, By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies: In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory, Jesus Christ is all in all.

Behold the sure Foundation-stone

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #82 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure Foundation-stone Which God in Zion lays, To build our heavenly hopes upon, And His eternal praise. 2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear, Let saints adore the Name; They trust their whole salvation here Nor shall they suffer shame. 3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest, Reject it with disdain; Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest, And envy rage in vain. 4 What though the gates of hell withstood Yet must this building rise; ’Tis Thine own work, almighty God, And wondrous in our eyes.
