Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,900 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress, helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly, wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone (1839-1900) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 858 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 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 Called forth 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, and shares one holy food, as to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 In 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. 4 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in one, and mystical 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.

Hymn 9

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 First Line: Let all our tongues be one Lyrics: [Let all our tongues be one To praise our God on high, Who from his bosom sent his Son To fetch us strangers nigh. Nor let our voices cease To sing the Savior's name; Jesus, th' ambassador of peace, How cheerfully he came! It cost him cries and tears To bring us near to God; Great was our debt, and he appears To make the payment good.] [My Savior's pierced side Poured out a double flood; By water we are purified, And pardoned by the blood. Infinite was our guilt, But he, our Priest, atones; On the cold ground his life was spilt, And offered with his groans.] Look up, my soul, to him Whose death was thy desert, And humbly view the living stream Flow from his breaking heart. There, on the cursed tree, In dying pangs he lies, Fulfils his Father's great decree, And all our wants supplies. Thus the Redeemer came By water and by blood; And when the Spirit speaks the same, We feel his witness good. While the eternal Three Bear their record above, Here I believe he died for me, And seal my Savior's love. [Lord, cleanse my soul from sin Nor let thy grace depart; Great Comforter, abide within, And witness to my heart.]

[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c] 6 I bind unto myself the name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, of whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word. Praise to the Lord of my salvation: salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.
