O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #117 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; Christian Year New Year; The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Funeral and Memorial Service; Adoration and Praise; Assurance; Christian Year New Year; Courage; Eternal Life; Funerals and Memorial Services; Hope; Processionals Lyrics: 1. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2. Under the shadow of thy throne,
still may we dwell secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4. A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
5. Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all who breathe away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.
Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE (Croft)

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #299 (1899) Topics: Church Beauty and Glory of; Church nature of; Churches Dedication; Churches Erection Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne,
Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face,
Enter this temple, now Thine own,
And let Thy glory fill the place,
And let Thy glory fill the place.
2 We praise Thee that to-day we see
Its sacred walls before Thee stand;
'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee;
Reared by Thy kind assisting hand,
Reared by Thy kind assisting hand.
3 Oft as returns the day of rest,
Let heartfelt worship here ascend;
With Thine own joy fill every breast,
With Thine own power Thy word attend,
With Thine own power Thy word attend.
4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day,
Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still;
Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away,
And give new strength to meet Thy will,
And give new strength to meet Thy will.
5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet,
And keep the feast of dying love,
Be our communion ever sweet
With Thee, and with Thy Church above,
With Thee, and with Thy Church above.
6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep;
In Thine own arms the lambs enfold;
Give help to climb the heavenward steep,
Till Thy full glory we behold,
Till Thy full glory we behold.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHWELL

When angry foes assailed,

Had overwhelmed our soul,
But, praised be God, the waves or wrath
Are under His control.
3 We are escaped, as from the snare
A bird in safety flies;
The snare is broken and our souls
In liberty arise.
4 Our help is in the glorious Name,
The Name of matchless worth,
Of Him to Whom all pow'r belongs,
The Lord of heav'n and earth. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: BOYNTON

If that the Lord had not our right maintained;
If that the Lord had not with us remained,
When cruel men against us rose to strive,
We surely had been swallowed up alive
2 Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose,
The swelling tide had o'er us spread its wave,
The raging stream had then become our grave,
The surging flood, in proudly selling roll,
Must surely then had overwhelmed our soul.
3 Blest be the Lord Who made us not their prey;
As from the snare a bird escapeth free,
Their net is rent and so escaped are we;
Our only help is in Jehovah's Name,
Who made the earth and all the heav'nly frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH

They Did Not Build in Vain
Author: Alan Luff Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #373 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Church Anniversaries and Dedications; Church Nature and Unity; Consecration; Year A Easter 4; Year A Pentecost; Year B Pentecost; Year C Pentecost Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church
as witness to God's love amid a world of pain;
They built upon the rock that is the risen Christ,
the one foundation laid, that stands each earthly shock.
2 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on as we now run our race;
Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end;
3 In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed,
the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled;
Yet still the Spirit's power in wind and fire of love
pours gifts upon the church for service in this hour.
4 Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith,
where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace;
Where God in Trinity is bridge from death to life,
from sin to holiness, time to eternity. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

we are Christ's new creation by water and the word;
From heaven Christ came and sought us in love to set us free;
with precious blood Christ bought us for all eternity.
2 Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth,
one charter of salvation, one God, one faith, one birth,
One name together blessing, one holy food we share,
to one hope we are pressing, at one in work and prayer.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation of peace forevermore,
Till with the vision glorious, our longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet we on earth have union with God, the Three-in-One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #545 (1989) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Church Anniversaries; The Nature of the Church United in Christ; Christian Year All Saints Day; Church Anniversaries; Church Community in Christ; Church Dedication of a Building; Funerals and Memorial Services; Jesus Christ Blood; Processionals 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
we 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 meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.
