The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #746 (2012) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Scripture: John 3:5 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 '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.
4 Yet she on earth hath union
With God, the Three-in-One,
And with the saints, communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with thee.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Glory to God #121 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Scripture: John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the king,
and peace to all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin and enter in;
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us; abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel!

Hark, the glad sound
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #265 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: John 3:3 First Line: Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
and ev'ry voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to bless the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heav'n's eternal arches ring
with thy belovèd name. Topics: Advent; Year B Advent 3 Languages: English Tune Title: BRISTOL

Crown him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1893; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #274 (1997) Scripture: John 3:13-16 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon the throne:
hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died to be
your Saviour and your matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Son of God,
before the worlds began;
let all who tread where he has trod,
crown him the Son of Man,
who every grief has known
that wrings the human breast,
and takes and bears them for his own,
that all in him may rest.
3 Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o’er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing
who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace
whose kingdom is at hand;
from pole to pole let warfare cease
and Christ rule every land!
A city stands on high;
Christ's glory it displays,
and there the nations "Holy" cry
in joyful hymns of praise.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
the Source, the End of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres
in majesty sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail,
for you have died for me;
your praise shall never, never fail
through all eternity!

There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: Together in Song #350 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: John 3:14-17 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin,
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do.
