The Church's One Foundation ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation, by His pure, holy 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!



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 in one Lord she rests now, with every grace endued.

Midst toils and tribulations, and tumults of her wars,
She's reached the consummation, of peace forevermore!
Now with the vision glorious, her troubled eyes are blest,
Since the great Church victorious, is now the Church at rest.

She on earth doth dwell, with God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion with those who have passed on:
O happy we, and holy! Lord, thanks for grace that we,
As all the meek and lowly, on high do dwell with Thee!

May Jesus Christ be Praised ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

When morning guilds the sky, our hearts awaking cry;
May Jesus Christ be praised! Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus we repair: May Jesus Christ be praised!

Does sadness fill our minds? Great solace here we find;
May Jesus Christ be praised! Or fades our earthly bliss?
Our comfort still is this; may Jesus Christ be praised!

In heav'n's eternal bliss, the loveliest strain is this;
May Jesus Christ be praised! The pow'rs of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear; May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this, since Life is ours, our hymn of greatest power,
May Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th' eternal song
Throughout the age, tho' long; May Jesus Christ be praised!

Jesus, We Are Resting ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS

Jesus, we are resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art;
We are finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid us gaze upon Thee, and Thy beauty fills our souls,
For by Thy transforming power, Thou hast made us whole!

chorus;

Jesus, we are resting, resting, in the joy of what Thou art,
We are finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart!


Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, we behold Thee as Thou art,
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, satisfies our hearts-
Satisfies their deepest longings, meets, supplies their every need,
Compasseth us 'round with blessings; Thine is love indeed!

chorus;


Ever shine Thy face upon us, as we serve and worship Thee;
Resting 'neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, earth's dark shadows flee.
Brightness of our Father's glory, sunshine of our Father's face,
Keep us ever trusting, resting, Fill us with Thy grace!

chorus:

This is Our Father's World ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

This is our Father's world, and to our listening ears,
All nature sings, and 'round us rings the music of the spheres.
This is our Father's world: we rest us in the thought ,
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-His hand the wonders wrought!

This is our Father's world-the birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white, declare their maker's praise.
This is our Father's world: He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass, we hear Him pass-He speaks to us everywhere!

This is our Father's world-O let us ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong; God is the ruler yet!
This is our Father's world: the battle has been won;
Jesus who died has been satisfied, and heav'n and earth are One!

All Hail the Power ( a fulfilled rev. by CHS )

All hail the power of Jesus Name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Behold the royal diadem, God's crowned Him Lord of all!
Behold the royal diadem, God's crowned Him Lord of all!

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who's saved you by His grace; God's crowned Him Lord of all!
Hail Him who's saved you by His grace; God's crowned Him Lord of all!

Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe; God's crowned Him Lord of all!
To Him all majesty ascribe; God's crowned Him Lord of all!

Now with God's sacred throng, we at His feet do fall,
We've joined the everlasting song: We hail Him Lord of all!
We've joined the everlasting song: We hail Him Lord of all!
