My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,085 hymnals Refrain First Line: On Christ the solid rock I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand: all other ground is sinking sand; all other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace; in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain] 3 His oath, his covenant, his blood, support me in the whelming flood; when all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain] 4 When he shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in him be found: dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Worship and Rejoice (2003) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response

Would Jesus Have the Sinner Die?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs He then on yonder tree? What means that strange expiring cry? (Sinners, He prays for you and me) Forgive them, Father, O forgive, They know not that by Me they live, They know not that by Me they live! 2. Jesus descended from above, Our loss of Eden to retrieve, Great God of universal love, If all the world through Thee may live, In us a quickening Spirit be, And witness Thou hast died for me, And witness Thou hast died for me! 3. Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb, Thee—by Thy painful agony, Thy bloody sweat, Thy grief and shame, Thy cross and passion on the tree, Thy precious death and life—I pray, Take all, take all my sins away, Take all, take all my sins away! 4. O let me kiss Thy bleeding feet, And bathe and wash them with my tears! The story of Thy love repeat In every drooping sinner’s ears, That all may hear the quickening sound, Since I, even I, have mercy found, Since I, even I, have mercy found. 5. O let Thy love my heart constrain! Thy love for every sinner free, That every fallen soul of man May taste the grace that found out me; That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign everlasting love, Thy sovereign everlasting love.

Eternity! Eternity!

Author: Wülffer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! And yet to thee Time hastes away, Like as the warhorse to the fray, Or swift as couriers homeward go, Or ship to port, or shaft from bow. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! For ever as on a perfect sphere End nor beginning can appear, Even so, Eternity, in thee Entrance nor exit can there be. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! A circle infinite art thou, Thy centre an Eternal Now, Never, we name thy outer bound, For never end therein is found. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! A little bird with fretting beak Might wear to nought the loftiest peak, Though but each thousand years it came, Yet thou wert then, as now, the same. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! As long as God is God, so long Endure the pains of sin and wrong, So long the joys of heaven remain; Oh lasting joy, Oh lasting pain! Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! O man, full oft thy thoughts should dwell Upon the pains of sin and hell, And on the glories of the pure, That both beyond all time endure. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! How terrible art thou in woe, How fair where joys for ever glow! God's goodness sheddeth gladness here, His justice there wakes bitter fear. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! They who lived poor and naked rest With God, for ever rich and blest, And love and praise the Highest Good, In perfect bliss and gladsome mood. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! A moment lasts all joy below, Whereby man sinks to endless woe, A moment lasts all earthly pain, Whereby an endless joy we gain. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! Who ponders oft on thee, is wise, All fleshly lusts will he despise, The world finds place with him no more; The love of vain delights is o'er. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! Who marks thee well would say to God, Here judge, burn, smite me with Thy rod, Here let me all Thy justice bear, When time of grace is past, then spare! Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! Lo, I, Eternity, warn thee, O Man, that oft thou think on me, The sinner's punishment and pain, To them who love their God, rich gain! Ponder, O Man, Eternity!

You only do such wondrous things, the whole wide world your glory sings; your outstretched arm your people saved, though sore distressed and long enslaved. 2 O God, from you the waters fled, the depths were moved with mighty dread, the swelling clouds their torrents poured, and o'er the earth the tempest roared; 'mid lightning's flash and thunder's sound great trembling shook the solid ground. 3 Your way was in the sea, O God, through mighty waters, deep and broad. None understood but God alone, to man your footsteps were unknown; but safe your people you did keep, almighty Shepherd of your sheep.

Aaberg Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: Jesus, the name without compare; Honored on earth and in heaven, Wherein the Father’s love and care Are to His children now given. Saviour of all that saved would be, Fount of salvation full and free Is the Lord Jesus forever. Jesus, the name alone on earth For our salvation afforded. So on His cross of precious worth Is in His blood it recorded. Only in that our prayers are heard, Only in that when hearts are stirred Doth now the Spirit us comfort. Jesus, the name above the sky Wherein, when seasons are ended, Peoples shall come to God on high, And every knee shall be bended, While all the saved in sweet accord Chorus the praise of Christ, the Lord, Savior beloved by the Father.

Built on a rock the church of God

Author: Nikolai Frederick Severin Grundtvig, 1783-1872; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Built on a rock the church of God Stands though its towers be falling; Many have crumbled beneath the sod, Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to come, But above all the souls that roam, Weary for rest everlasting. God, the most high, abides not in Temples that hands have erected. High above earthly strife and sin, He hath his mansions perfected. Yet He, whom heavens cannot contain, Chose to abide on earth with man Making their body His temple. We are God’s house of living stones, Built for the Spirit’s indwelling. He at His font and table owns Us for His glory excelling. Should only two confess His name, He would yet come and dwell with them, Granting His mercy abounding. Even the temples built on earth Unto the praise of the Father, Are like the homes of hallowed worth Whence we as children did gather. Glorious things in them are said, God there with us His covenant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. There we behold the font at which God as His children received us; There stands the altar where His rich Mercy from hunger relieved us. There His blest word to us proclaim: Jesus is now and e’er the same, So is His way of salvation. Grant then, O Lord, where’er we roam, That, when the church bells are ringing, People in Jesus’ name may come, Praising His glory with singing. “Ye, not the world, my face shall see; I will abide with you,” said He. “My peace I leave with you ever.”

Christmas Song

Author: Eliza C. Cannell Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Come now, and let us, once again Lyrics: 1 Come now, and let us, once again, Twine wreaths of holly and of hay; And with glad hearts in lofty strain, Sing, "Christ is born anew today." Then loud and long we’ll raise the song, Our Christ is born anew today, Our Christ is born anew today. 2 As to the shepherds on the plain, The voice of angels from on high Bore the glad song, "Good will to men," On earth let peace be ever nigh: The peace of Heav’n to mortals giv’n, When Christ was born on Christmas day, When Christ was born on Christmas day. 3 To Him above, all glory yield, Whose greatest gift has crowned our days; And as we twine our Christmas wreath, We’ll weave therein both love and praise: Our hearts we’ll bring to Christ our king, Who’s born anew for us today, Who’s born anew for us today.
