#400 Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken Glorious things are said of you, O city of God. --Psalm 87:3 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may st smile at all thy foes. See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, never fails from age to age. Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov ring, showing that the Lord is near! Thus they march, the pillar leading, Light by night and shade by day, Daily on the manna feeding Which He gives them when they pray. Savior, since of Zion s city I thro grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity; I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the world s best pleasure, All its boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasures None but Zion s children know. Text: John Newton; Music: Franz Haydn In the Public Domain #404 Faith of Our Fathers Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. --Jude 3 Faith of our fathers, living still In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword. O how our hearts beat high with joy When-e er we hear that glorious word! Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death! Faith of our fathers! we will strive To win all nations unto thee, And through the truth that comes from God, Mankind shall then be truly free. Faith of our fathers, holy faith, We will be true to thee till death! Faith of our fathers! we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife, And preach thee, too, as love knows how, By kindly words and virtuous life. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death! Text: Frederick W. Faber; Music: Henri F. Hemy; Arranged by James G. Walton Public Domain CCLI License No. 563168 1 John 2:3-11 New International Version We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, I know him, but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and
sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. The Word of the Lord: Thanks be to God! #79 My Jesus, I Love Thee We love because He first loved us. --1 John 4:19 My Jesus, I love Thee; I know Thou art mine. For Thee all the follies of sin I resign. My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus tis now. I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me And purchased my pardon on Calvary s tree. I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now. I ll love Thee in life; I will love Thee in death And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath. And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now. In mansions of glory and endless delight, I ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright. I ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now. Text: William R.
