O Father, All Creating

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-93 Hymnal: LW1982 #251 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Tune Title: AURELIA Lyrics: 1 O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and pow'r First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, Today to these your children Your earliest gifts renew: A home by you made happy, A love by you kept true. 2 With good wine, Lord, at Cana The wedding feast you blessed. Grant also these your presence, And be their dearest guest. Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heav'nly wine, And teach them, in the testing, To know the gift divine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in your pureness, So tender in your love That, guarded by your presence And kept from strife and sin, Their hearts may heed your guidance And know you dwell within. 4 Unless you build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Unless you, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain. But nothing breaks a marriage Of hearts in you made one; The love your Spirit hallows Is endless love begun. Topics: Marriage Languages: English

Teach them, as faithful servants You rightly to adore, And fill them with your fullness Both now and evermore. Topics: Evangelism; Mission, Missions; Ordination, Installation Languages: English

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: LW1982 #289 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Tune Title: AURELIA 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 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 ev'ry grace endued. 3 Through 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. 4 Yet she on earth has union With God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won. O blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us be your grace That we, like saints before us, May see you face to face.

Let me with holy food be fed, In hunger I address you. Prepare me well for you, O Lord, And, humbly by my prayer implored, Give me your grace and mercy. 2 To pastures green, Lord, safely guide, To restful waters lead me; Your table well for me provide, Your wounded hand now feed me. Though weary, sinful, sick, and weak, Refuge in you alone I seek, To share your cup of healing. 3 O bread of heav'n, my soul's delight, For full and free remission I come with prayer before your sight In sorrow and contrition. Your rightousness, Lord, cover me That I receive you worthily, Assured of your full pardon. 4 I do not merit favor, Lord, My weight of sin would break me; In all my guilty heart's discord, O Lord, do not forsake me. In my distress this comforts me That you receive me graciously, O Christ, my Lord of mercy! Topics: The Lord's Supper Languages: English

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: LW1982 #294 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUSTRIA Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed you for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, You may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply your sons and daughters And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever will their thirst assuage-- Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the worldlings' pleasures, All their boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasures None but Zion's children know.

His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood avails for me. 5 Look to the Lord, who did atone For sin, O fallen race. Look and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace. 6 See all our sins on Jesus laid; The Lamb has made us whole.
