- All Those Who Trust in Christ (Jerusalem) - H. Parry: All those who trust in Christ are blest And find in Him eternal rest; This world’s allurements we despise And fix on Christ alone our eyes. Through Him we heirs of heav’n are made; O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid That we may firmly trust in Thee, And through Thee live eternally. O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend, Be with us till our journey’s end. In mercy guide us by Thy grace Till we behold Thy glorious face. Though Satan rage, His pow’r is gone His thundering roar can harm us none Our strong Defender hurls him down, And wins for us a heav’nly crown. - Author unknown, 1607; 2. K. Stolshagen, 1550-94; H. Parry, 1916
- Colossians 2:6-10: As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
