Happy the Church, thou sacred place
Life's Railway to Heaven
Author: Eliza R. Snow; M. E. Abbey Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:14 First Line: Life is like a mountain railway Refrain First Line: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Lyrics: 1 Life is like a mountain railway,
With an engineer that’s brave;
We must make the run successful,
From the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.
Refrain:
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
Till we reach that blissful shore,
When the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise forevermore.
2 You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your conductor
On this lightning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail. [Refrain]
3 You will often find obstructions,
Look for storms and wind and rain;
On a fill, or curve, or trestle
They will almost ditch your train;
Put your trust alone in Jesus,
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail. [Refrain]
4 As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide;
There you’ll meet the Sup’rintendent,
God, the Father, God the Son,
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
“Weary Pilgrim, welcome home.” [Refrain] Topics: Exhortation Used With Tune: [Life is like a mountain railway] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Lifes_Railway_to_Heaven); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (189)

Christ and the Church
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:10 First Line: The king of saints, how fair his face Lyrics: 1 The king of saints, how fair his face,
Adorn'd with majesty and grace!
He comes with blessings from above,
And wins the nations to his love.
2 At his right hand, our eyes behold,
The queen array'd in purest gold;
The world admires her heav'nly dress;
Her robes of joy and righteousness.
3 He forms her beauties like his own,
He calls and seats her near his throne;
Fair stranger, let thine heart forget
The idols of thy native state.
4 So shall the king the more rejoice
In thee the fav'rite of his choice;
Let him be lov'd, and yet ador'd,
For he's thy maker and thy Lord.
5 O happy hour, when thou shalt rise
To his fair palace in the skies,
And all thy sons (a num'rous train)
Each like a prince in glory reign.
6 Let endless honours crown his head;
Let ev'ry age his praises spread;
While we with cheerful songs approve
The condescension of his love.

A safe stronghold our God is still
Thy hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:10 Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided
thy flock, from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on ev'ry page;
our forebears owned thy goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they bade them rise, and hasten
to share the great King's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, man restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
4 And we, shall we be faithless?
Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
Shall we evade the conflict,
and cast away our crown?
Not so: in God's deep counsels
some better thing is stored;
we will maintain, unflinching,
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
5 Thy mercy will not fail us,
nor leave thy work undone;
with thy right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
and then be all creation,
thy name shall be adored.
And this shall be their anthem:
One Church, one Faith, one Lord. Topics: All Saints; Christian unity; Faith, Trust and Commitment; Grace and Providence; Gradual Hymn; The Pilgrim Community; Year A Proper 23; Year B Proper 13; Year B Proper 9; Year C Epiphany 4 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

Heralds of creation! cry,--
Praise the Lord, the Lord most high!

Sprang the universe to light:
He commanded,--Nature heard,
And stood fast upon his word.

Spirits perfected in love;
Sun and Moon! your voices raise,
Sing, ye stars! your Maker's praise.

Earth! from all thy depths below,
Ocean's hallelujahs flow,
Lightning, Vapour, Wind and Storm,
Hail and Snow! His will perform.
Vales and Mountains! burst in song;
Rivers! roll his praise along;
Clap your hands, ye Trees! and hail
God, who comes in every gale.
Birds! on wings of rapture soar,
Warble at His Temple door,
Joyful sounds from Herds and Flocks,
Echo back, ye Caves and Rocks!
Kings! your Sovereign serve with awe;
Judges! own His righteous law;
Princes! worship Him with fear;
Bow the knee, all People! here.
Let His truth by Babes be told,
And His wonders by the old;
Youths and maidens! in your prime,
Learn the lays of heaven betime.
High above all height His throne,
Excellent His name alone;
Him let all His works confess,
Him let every Being bless.
