in grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before thee, we kneel and adore thee,
we bless thy holy name, glad praises we sing.
2 We worship thee, God of the ages, we bless thee;
through life's storm and tempest our guide thou hast been.
When perils o'ertake us, escape thou wilt make us,
and with thy help, O Lord, life's battles we win.
3 With voices united our praises we offer,
and gladly our song of true worship we raise;
our sins now confessing, we pray for thy blessing;
to thee, our great Redeemer, ever be praise.

Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 152 hymnals Topics: Beginning of Worship Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty;
Zion, let me enter there,
where my soul in joyful duty
waits for him who answers prayer;
O how blessed is this place,
filled with solace, light, and grace!
2 Here, my God, I come before thee,
come thou also down to me;
where we find thee and adore thee,
there a heav'n on earth must be;
to my heart O enter thou,
let it be thy temple now!
3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted;
here thy seed is duly sown;
let my soul, where it is planted,
bring forth precious sheaves alone,
so that all I hear may be
fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken;
let me keep thy gift divine;
howsoe'er temptations thicken,
may thy word still o'er me shine
ss my guiding star through life,
as my comfort in all strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee;
let thy will be done indeed;
may I undisturbed draw near thee
while thou dost thy people feed;
here of live the fountain flows;
here is balm for all our woes.

Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
Safely through another week
Author: J. Newton Appears in 1,016 hymnals Topics: Worship in General Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty power,
Fed and guided by His hand,
Though ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciléd face;
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.

Holy God, We Praise Your Name
Author: I. Franz; R. Birch Hoyle Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Beginning of Worship Lyrics: 1 Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you.
All on earth your scepter claim;
all in heav'n above adore you.
Infinite your vast domain;
everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heav'ns with sweeet accord--
"Holy, holy, holy, Lord!"
3 Lo! the apostolic train
join your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun
through the church the song goes on.
4 Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name you,
though in essence only One,
undivided God, we claim you,
and, adoring, bend the knee,
while we own the mystery.
5 Glory through eternity:
Spirit, Son, and blessed Father,
God of gracious tenderness,
at thy feet we sinners gather.
All thy great and wondrous love
we shall through the ages prove.
