Come in, thou blessed of the Lord
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #483 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Admission of Members Lyrics: 1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord;
Stranger nor foe art thou:
We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother now.
2 The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee:
Leaving the world, thou dost but part
From lies and vanity.
3 The cup of blessing which we bless,
The heavenly bread we break,
Our Saviour's blood and righteousness,
Freely with us partake.
4 In weal or woe, in joy or care,
Thy portion shall be ours;
Christians their mutual burdens bear;
They lend their mutual powers.
5 Come with us, we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;
Stand but in him, as those have stood
Whose faith the vict'ry won.
6 And when, by turns, we pass away,
As star by star grows dim,
May each, translated into day,
Be lost and found in him. Scripture: Genesis 24:31
Come in, thou blessed of the Lord
Planted in Christ, the living vine
Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #488 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Constitution Lyrics: 1 Planted in Christ, the living vine,
This day, with one accord,
Ourselves, with humble faith and joy,
We yield to thee, O Lord.
2 Joined in one body may we be;
One inward life partake;
One be our heart; one heavenly hope
In every bosom wake.
3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils,
One wisdom be our guide;
Taught by one Spirit from above,
In thee may we abide.
4 Complete in us, whom grace hath called,
Thy glorious work begun,
O thou in whom the church on earth
And church in heaven are one.
5 Around this feeble, trusting band
Thy sheltering pinions spread,
Nor let the storms of trial beat
Too fiercely on our head.
6 Then, when, among the saints in light,
Our joyful spirits shine,
Shall anthems of immortal praise,
O Lamb of God, be thine. Scripture: John 15:5
Planted in Christ, the living vine
With stately towers and bulwarks strong
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #489 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Constitution Lyrics: 1 With stately towers and bulwarks strong,
Unrivalled and alone--
Loved theme oft for the sacred song--
God's holy city shone.
2 Thus fair was Zion's chosen seat,
The glory of all lands;
Yet fairer, and in strength complete,
The Christian temple stands.
3 The faithful of each clime and age
This glorious church compose;
Built on the Rock--with idle rage
The threat'ning tempest blows.
4 Fear not: though hostile bands alarm,
Thy God is thy defense:
And weak and powerless every arm
Against Omnipotence.
With stately towers and bulwarks strong
Oh, it is joy for those to meet
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #506 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Oh, it is joy for those to meet
Whom one communion blends,
Counsel to hold in converse sweet,
And talk as Christian friends.
2 'Tis joy to think the angel train,
Who 'mid heaven's temple shine,
To seek our earthly temples deign,
And in our anthems join.
3 But chief, 'tis joy to think, that he,
To whom his church is dear,
Delights her gathered flock to see,
Her joint devotions hear.
4 Then who would choose to walk abroad,
While here such joys are given?
This is indeed the house of God,
And this the gate of heaven!
Scripture: Psalm 133:1
Oh, it is joy for those to meet
Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake
Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #511 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake,
A hearty welcome here receive;
May we together now partake
The joys which only he can give.
2 May he, by those kind care we meet,
Send his good Spirit from above,
Make our communications sweet,
And cause our hearts to burn with love.
3 Forgotten be each worldly theme,
When Christians see each other thus;
We only wish to speak of him
Who lived, and died, and reigns for us.
4 We'll talk of all he did and said,
And suffered for us here below;
The path he marked for us to tread,
And what he's doing for us now.
5 Thus, as the moments pass away,
We'll love, and wonder, and adore;
And hasten on the glorious day
When we shall meet to part no more. Scripture: Psalm 133:1
Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake
Softly fades the twilight ray
Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #529 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life's setting sun,
When the Christian's course is run.
2 Night her solemn mantle spreads
O'er the earth, as daylight fades;
All things tell of calm repose
At the holy Sabbath's close.
3 Peace is on the world abroad;
'Tis the holy peace of God--
Symbol of the peace within,
When the spirit rests from sin.
4 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshipper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize. Scripture: Matthew 14:23
Softly fades the twilight ray
The heathen perish; day by day
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #578 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Church Missionary Lyrics: 1 The heathen perish; day by day
Thousands on thousands pass away!
O Christians! to their rescue fly,
Preach Jesus to them ere they die.
2 Wealth, labor, talents, freely give,
Yea, life itself, that they may live;
What hath your Saviour done for you!
And what for him will ye not do?
3 Thou Spirit of the Lord! go forth;
Call in the south, wake up the north;
Of every clime, from sun to sun,
Gather God's children into one.
The heathen perish; day by day
Praise The Lord That He Has Built
Author: J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #88 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built
Here on earth a sanctuary,
Where the soul, oppressed by guilt,
Safe beneath His wings may tarry,
While His mercy, love and grace
All its guilty stains efface.
2 Built upon the rock it stands
Firmly through the passing ages,
Heeding not the world's demands,
Nor the storm that round it rages,
But to souls with cares replete
It remains a blest retreat.
3 There the wounded hearts are healed,
Grace to yearning souls imparted,
Light to sightless eyes revealed,
Strength renewed in feeble-hearted,
So that souls, from weakness prone,
Grow like trees in Lebanon.
4 Send us, Lord, Thy heav'nly dove,
Open wide Thy living fountain,
Deck Thine altar with Thy love,
Teach us from Thy holy mountain,
Shield us all beneath Thy wing
Till, at home, Thy praise we sing. Languages: English Tune Title: HARTMANN
Praise The Lord That He Has Built
Now in holy convocation
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #202 (1854) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Topics: Centenary of a Christian Church Lyrics:
Now in holy convocation,
Hands, and hearts, and voices raise,
In one hymn of jubilation,
To our great Redeemer's praise;
"Ebenezer!"
He hath led us all our ways.
"Ebenezer!" Those before us,
Sang at every onward stage;
This to-day shall swell the chorus
In our house of pilgrimage:
May our children
Sing the same from age to age!
So in heaven, when all the story
Of His love to us is shown,
Be our earliest song in glory,
"Ebenezer!" round the Throne
While for ever,
We shall know as we are known.

Now in holy convocation
Jesus, My Lord, How Rich Thy Grace
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #253 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Inner Missions Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, how rich Thy grace,
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall I count the matchless sum,
How pay the mighty debt?
2 High on a throne of radiant light,
Dost Thou exalted shine:
What can my poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are Thine?
3 But Thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of Thy grace,
And wilt confess their humble names
Before Thy Father’s face.
4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And in their accents of distress
My Savior’s voice is heard.
5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love,
We in Thy poor would see;
O let us rather beg our bread
Than keep it back from Thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO
