Christ is our corner-stone

Author: John Chandler, 1806-1876 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Lent III Year B Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone, on him alone we build; with his true saints alone the courts of heaven are filled: on his great love our hopes we place of present grace and joys above. 2 O then with hymns of praise these hallowed courts shall ring; our voices we will raise the Three in One to sing; and thus proclaim in joyful song, both loud and long, that glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do thou for evermore draw nigh; accept each faithful vow, and mark each suppliant sigh; in copious shower on all who pray each holy day thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven the grace which we implore; and may that grace, once given, be with us evermore, until that day when all the blest to endless rest are called away. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6 Used With Tune: HAREWOOD Text Sources: Latin, before 9th century

My God, I love thee; not because

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Topics: Lent III Year A Lyrics: 1 My God, I love thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby, nor yet because who love thee not are lost eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me upon the cross embrace; for me didst bear the nails and spear, and manifold disgrace; 3 And griefs and torments numberless, and sweat of agony; yea, death itself — and all for me who was thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ, should I not love thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, nor of escaping hell; 5 Not from the hope of gaining aught, not seeking a reward; but as thyself hast lovèd me, O ever-loving Lord. 6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord, and in thy praise will sing; solely because thou art my God, and my most loving King. Scripture: 1 John 4:19 Used With Tune: SOLOMON Text Sources: Latin, 17th century

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 362 hymnals Topics: Lent III Year A Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we ought to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love, fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Lent III Year A Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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? *3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, 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. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: 1 John 2:17 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
