The church's one foundation
Author: S. J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 856 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 1:2 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 opprest,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distrest;
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 for evermore;
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. Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year A; Proper 5 Year C; Proper 16 Year A Used With Tune: AURELIA

How Long, O God, Will My Prayers Be in Vain?
Author: Barbara Hamm Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Habakkuk 1:2-4 Lyrics: 1 How long, O God, will my prayers be in vain?
Why must I languish in sorrow and pain?
Do not abandon a child you have made;
you are my shelter, my solace and shade.
2 When evil prospers and hope is long gone,
do not forsake me, your presence withdrawn.
Shield and protect those who call on your name;
you are my God, and your blessing I claim.
3 Early and late will my tongue sing your praise;
you will uphold me the length of my days.
You are a stronghold for all the oppressed;
hear us, O God! Let your people be blessed.

Forgive, Forgive Us, Holy God
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Habakkuk 1:2-4 First Line: Forgive us, forgive us, holy God! Lyrics: 1 Forgive, forgive us, holy God!
Your children call on you to hear!
Our blood is on each other’s hands,
we die from hunger, lies and fear.
2 Forgive us that our souls are numb
to scenes of terror, screams of pain;
that while we pray “Your kingdom come”
our world is still a battle plain.
3 Forgive the minds no longer shocked
by homeless poor, by lives abused,
forgive us that the earth is stacked
with weapons waiting to be used.
4 Forgive us that our household gods
are self and safety, private need,
forgive us all our fitful prayers,
the token gift, the token deed.
5 Give us this day the bread of peace,
the hands to share a common good,
the hearts to ache for justice's sake,
the will to stand where Jesus stood. Topics: Abuse; Forgiveness From God; Housing; Justice Economic; Lent; Peace and Justice; Peace Conflict and War; Stewardship Used With Tune: ROUGH SEAS
