God is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #90 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
Our ever present aid,
And, therefore, though the earth remove,
We will not be afraid;
Though hills amidst the seas be cast,
Though foaming waters roar,
Yea, though the mighty billows shake
The mountains on the shore.
2 A river flows whose streams make glad
The city of our God,
The holy place wherein the Lord
Most High has His abode;
Since God is in the midst of her,
Unmoved her walls shall stand,
For God will be her early help,
When trouble is at hand.
3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved,
But when His voice was heard
The troubled earth was stilled to peace
Before His mighty word.
The Lord of Hosts is on our side,
Our safety to secure;
The God of Jacob is for us
A refuge strong and sure.
4 O come, behold what wondrous works
Jehovah's hand has wrought;
Come, see what desolation great
He on the earth has brought.
To utmost ends of all the earth
He causes war to cease;
The weapons of the strong destroyed,
He makes abiding peace.
5 Be still and know that I am God,
O'er all exalted high;
The subject nations of the earth
My Name shall magnify.
The Lord of Hosts is on our side,
Our safety to secure;
The God of Jacob is for us
A refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #390 (1934) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Church on Earth 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
Men 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. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Everlasting is Thy throne;

Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (ELVEY)

Lord, Hear My Prayer, and Let My Cry
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #209 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry
Have ready access unto Thee;
When in distress to Thee I fly,
O hide not Thou Thy face from me.
Attend, O Lord, to my desire,
O haste to answer when I pray;
For grief consumes my strength like fire,
My days as smoke pass swift away.
2 My heart is withered like the grass,
And I forget my daily bread;
In lonely grief my days I pass
And sad my thoughts upon my bed.
My foes reproach me all the day,
My drink is tears, my bread is grief,
For in Thy wrath I pine away,
My days are like a fading leaf.
3 But Thou, Jehovah, shalt endure,
Thy throne forever is the same;
And to all generations sure
Shall be Thy great memorial Name.
The time for Zion’s help is near,
The time appointed in Thy love;
O let Thy gracious aid appear,
Look Thou in mercy from above.
4 O Lord, regard the prayer of those
Who love the walls of Zion well,
Whose hearts are heavy for her woes,
Who sad amid her ruins dwell.
Thy power and glory shall appear,
And Zion’s walls shall be restored;
Then all the kings of earth shall fear
And heathen nations serve the Lord.
5 The Lord, exalted on His throne,
Looked down from heaven with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive’s moan
And save His people doomed to die.
All men in Zion shall declare
His gracious Name with one accord,
When kings and nations gather there
To serve and worship God the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY COMMUNION

Gracious Lord, Remember David
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #291 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, remember David,
How he made Thy house his care,
How he vowed to seek no pleasure
Till Thy house he should prepare.
Lord, remember his devotion;
Restless in his courts he trod
Till he found a habitation
Fit for Israel's mighty God,
Till he found a habitation
Fit for Israel's mighty God.
2 Far away God's ark was resting;
It is with His people now;
We will go into His temple,
At His footstool we will bow.

Enter, Lord, into Thy rest;
Let Thy priests be clothed with justice,
Let Thy joyful saints be blest,
Let Thy priests be clothed with justice,
Let Thy joyful saints be blest.

For Thy servant David's sake,
Unto whom a sacred promise,
Sure and faithful, Thou didst make.
If his children keep Thy covenant
And Thy testimony own,
Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,
They shall sit upon his throne,
Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,
They shall sit upon his throne.
4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion,
Thou hast ever loved her well;
This My resting-place forever,
Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell.
Surely I will bless and help her,
Feed her poor, her saints make glad,
And her priest shall stand before Me
In salvation's garments clad,
And her priests shall stand before Me
In salvation's garments clad.
5 I will cause the might of David
Ever more and more to grow;
On the path of My Anointed
I will make a lamp to glow.
All His enemies shall perish,
I will cover them with shame;
But His crown shall ever flourish;
Blessed be His holy Name,
But His crown shall ever flourish;
Blessed be His holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 132 Languages: English Tune Title: ULSTER

God Saved His People from Distress
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #130 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 God saved His people from distress
And led them through the wilderness;
Then mountains trembled in their place,
The heavens were bowed before His face.
With copious showers Thou didst assuage
The thirsting of Thy heritage;
Thy congregation dwelt secure;
Thou, God, art gracious to the poor.
2 The Lord sent forth His mighty word,
And shouts of victory were heard;
The women came, a mighty throng,
To join the glad triumphant song.
When God His chosen people led,
The kings and armies turned and fled;
The hosts of God victorious fought,
And home their spoils and trophies brought.
3 God's people rested, free from care,
In glorious peace and beauty fair;
Their mighty King did overthrow
The hostile kings like driven snow.
All mountains unto God belong,
But Zion's holy mountains strong
Above them all the Lord loves well,
And there He will forever dwell.
4 Great hosts to holy wars have trod,
The armies of the living God;
Among them He reveals His face,
The God of justice and of grace.
Thou hast ascended up on high
And captive led captivity;
They come with gifts who did rebel,
That with them God the Lord might dwell.
5 Blest be the Lord! for us He cares
And daily all our burden bears;
Our God is mighty, strong to save;
Jehovah frees us from the grave.
God's unrelenting enemies
No peace shall find in earth or seas;
His people shall triumphant go,
Victorious over every foe.
6 With glorious pomp our King and God
Has entered into His abode
With sacred minstrelsy and song,
While maidens with their timbrels throng.
Assemble ye before His face,
All ye that spring from Israel’s race;
Ye chosen tribes, with one accord
Come ye, and bless your God, the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 68 Languages: English Tune Title: VANDER WERP

O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #150 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 O wherefore hast Thou cast us off,
O God, our God of old?
Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep,
The sheep of Thy own fold,
The sheep of Thy own fold?
2 Remember Thy inheritance,
Thy Church, redeemed by grace;
Remember Zion's mount profaned,
Thy ancient dwelling-place,
Thy ancient dwelling-place.
3 In ruin long Thy temple lies;
Arise, o God of grace,
And see the ruin foes have wrought
Within Thy holy place,
Within Thy holy place.
4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high
The standards of the foe,
And impious hands with axe and fire
Have laid Thy temple low,
Have laid Thy temple low.
5 They have profaned the holy place
Where Thou hast set Thy Name,
The sanctuaries of our God
Are given to the flame,
Are given to the flame.
6 We see no signs of power divine,
No prophet speaks for Thee,
And none can tell, and none can know,
How long these woes shall be,
How long these woes shall be.
7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy
And shame reproach our land?
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes
With Thy almighty hand,
With Thy almighty hand?
8 O God, Thou art our King of old;
Salvation Thou hast wrought;
In safety through the mighty sea
Our fathers Thou hast brought,
Our fathers Thou hast brought.
9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy
The pride of boastful man,
And for Thy people made a path
Where mighty waters ran,
Where mighty waters ran.
10 The day is Thine, and Thine the night,
And Thine the shining sun;
At Thy command earth's bounds are set
And changing seasons run,
And changing seasons run.
11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord,
Against Thee proudly speak;
Preserve Thy saints from wicked men,
Be mindful of the meek,
Be mindful of the meek.
12 Fulfil, O Lord, Thy covenant,
Our strong Protector be,
For in the earth are dark abodes
Of crime and cruelty,
Of crime and cruelty.
13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame,
No longer in Thy sight
Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves;
Lord, vindicate the right,
Lord, vindicate the right. Scripture: Psalm 74 Languages: English Tune Title: LEAF
O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off
