God in his temple let us meet

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #101 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: God in his temple let us meet: Low on our knees before Him bend, Here hath He fix'd his Mercy-seat, Here on his worship we attend. Arise into thy resting-place, Thou, and thine ark of strength, O Lord! Shine through the veil, we seek Thy face; Speak, for we hearken to Thy word. With righteousness Thy priests array; Joyful Thy chosen people be; Let those who teach, and hear, and pray, Let all be Holiness to Thee! Scripture: Psalm 22:7-9 Languages: English

Again, on this rejoicing day

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #102 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Again, on this rejoicing day, God's people in his temple meet, To learn his will,--to praise and pray,-- For praise is comely, prayer is sweet: And meek obedience to his will Is perfect freedom to their mind, Who love his service and fulfil, With heart and hand, the work assign'd. One day, Lord God! within thy courts, Is better than a thousand spent In vain delights, or wanton sports, That leave remorse and discontent. Rather we'll choose the lowest place, The keepers of Thy doors to be, Than dwell where sinners, void of grace, Forget themselves, forgetting Thee. Our willing souls we now would yield To Thee, as Thine alone to live, Assured Thou wilt, our sun and shield, No good withhold,--all blessing give. So, from Thy sanctuary shower On young and old, with large increase, Thy heavenly gifts, and from this hour, Lord! send prosperity and peace.

Father of Jesus Christ our Lord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #103 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, Our Father too through Him art Thou, 106 Met in his Name, with one accord, Own and accept thy Children now. A part of Thy great family, Who in Thy House have found their home, Here it is good for us to be; Hence let no more our footsteps roam. All we like sheep have gone astray, Scatter'd, and torn, and tempest-tost, Each one had turn'd to his own way, And each in his own way was lost. But the good Shepherd from above Came into the wilderness, In his omnipotence of love, To seek and save, to heal and bless. He call'd us with His gentle voice, Now to that call may we reply, And make His staff and rod our choice, Amidst His flock to live and die. For His soul's travail may He see Our names with His redeem'd enroll'd, At that great day, when there shall be, In Heaven, one Shepherd and one fold. Topics: Good Shepherd Languages: English

With reverence and with godly fear

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #104 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: With reverence and with godly fear, Father of mercies! may we now In spirit and in truth draw near, And humbly at thy footstool bow. 107 Such worshippers Thou dost require, Such, round Thine altar make us all; Thou, God, that answerest by fire! Let that baptismal blessing fall. All gods beside Thee we disown, Henceforth all idols we forsake; Thou Lord art God, thou, Lord, alone; Thy vows upon our souls we take. Bind Thou in Heaven what thus we bind On earth, in great infirmity, But put Thy laws within our mind, These shall our strength, our safeguard be. We seek salvation, in the name Of Jesus thy beloved Son; We plead His prayer; we urge His claim; With Thee and Him let us be One. Now, while in fellowship we meet, The earnest of thy Spirit send, And here our union to complete, Seal it on high, world without end. Topics: Spiritual worship Languages: English

How amiable, how fair

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #105 (1854) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: How amiable, how fair O Lord of Hosts! to me Thy tabernacles are! My flesh cries out for Thee; My heart and soul, with heavenward fire, To Thee, the living God, aspire, 108 The sparrow finds a place To build her little nest, The swallows' wandering race Hither return to rest; Beneath Thy roof their young ones cry, And round Thine Altar learn to fly. Thrice blessed they who dwell Within Thy house, my God! Where daily praises swell, And still the floor is trod By those, who in Thy presence bow; By those whose King and God art Thou. Through Baca's arid vale, As pilgrims when they pass The well-springs never fail; Fresh rain renews the grass; From strength to strength they journey still, Till all appear on Zion's hill. Lord God of Hosts! give ear, A gracious answer yield; O God of Jacob! hear; Behold, O God! our shield; Look on Thine own Anointed One And save through thy beloved Son. Lord, I would rather stand A keeper at Thy gate, Than on the king's right hand In tents of earthly state; One day within Thy courts, one day Is worth a thousand cast away. 109 God is a sun of light, Glory and grace to shed, God is a helm of might To guard the faithful head. O Lord of Hosts! how happy he, The man who puts his trust in Thee. Languages: English

All hearts are open to Thy view

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #106 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: All hearts are open to Thy view, All things are naked in Thy sight; Now may the Eye that looks us through, Show us ourselves in its pure light. Then, while with awe we look to Thee, The High, the Holy One, the Just, With self-abhorrence, Lord, may we Repent in ashes and in dust. But, lest we perish in Thine ire, --For woe are we, unclean, undone! Our God is a consuming fire,-- May we behold Thee through Thy Son. In Him love, merct, truth, and grace, The fulness of the Godhead dwells; And the bright shining of His face Darkness, and doubt, and fear dispels. So be it:--round Thy throne we meet, With faith and hope, in self-despair, To pour our souls Out at Thy feet; Hear us, O Thou that hearest prayer! Languages: English

God is in His holy temple

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #107 (1854) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: God is in His holy temple, All the earth keep silence here; Worship Him in truth and spirit, Reverence Him with godly fear; Holy, holy, Lord of Hosts, our Lord, appear. God in Christ reveals His presence, Throned upon the Mercy-seat: Saints, rejoice! and sinners, tremble! Each prepare his God to meet: Lowly, lowly, Bow adoring at His feet. Hail Him here with songs of praises, Him with prayers of faith surround; Hearken to His glorious gospel, While the preacher's lips expound; Blesséd, blesséd, They who know the joyful sound. Though the heaven, and heaven of heavens, O Thou Great Unsearchable! Are too mean to comprehend Thee, Thou with man art pleased to dwell; Welcome, welcome, God with us, Immanuel. Languages: English

Here young and old, here great and small

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #108 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Here young and old, here great and small, Here rich and poor together meet: 111 The Lord, the Maker of them all, Gives audience from the Mercy-seat. While faith may see Him eye to eye, And guilt in vain would shun the light, The hidden things of darkness lie Naked and open to His sight. Not as to others we may seem, Who look but on the outward guise; Or of ourselves we fondly dream, A foolish people and unwise:-- But what we are in heart and soul, His sin-abhorring eyes discern; On Him we wait, the true, the whole Sad secret of ourselves to learn. Taught by His Son, may we believe In Him our Father reconciled; Led by His Spirit, each receive His kingdom as a little child. With reverence, then, and godly fear, While prayer and praise our tongues employ, O that we all may now draw near To God, as our exceeding joy!

Not to the Mount that burn'd with fire

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #109 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Not to the Mount that burn'd with fire, To darkness, tempest, and the sound Of trumpet sounding higher and higher, Nor voice of words that rent the ground, 112 While Israel heard with trembling awe Jehovah thunder forth His law:-- But to Mount Zion we are come, The city of the living God, Jerusalem our heavenly home, The courts by angel-legions trod; Where meet in everlasting love The Church of the first-born above:-- To God, the judge of quick and dead, The perfect spirits of the just, Jesus, our great new covenant Head, The blood of sprinkling,--from the dust, That better things than Abel's cries, And pleads a Saviour's sacrifice. O hearken to the healing voice, That speaks from heaven, in tones so mild; To-day, are life and death our choice; To-day, through mercy reconciled, Our all to God we yet may give; Now let us hear His voice, and live.

The peace of God surpassing thought

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #110 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: The peace of God surpassing thought, From heaven into our minds come down; That peace on earth which Jesus brought, When for the cross He left his crown:-- That peace with God, which Jesus made, Our daysman and our surety He, 113 Whose outstretch'd hands on both were laid, The sinner and the Deity:-- That peace be ours; so shall we prove, As faith, and hope, and love increase, That Christ's disciples live and move In the pure element of peace. Assembling here, an humble band, Our covenantal pledge to take, We pass the cup from hand to hand, From heart to heart, for His dear sake. Jesus, Thyself to us draw nigh, And speak Thy salutation-word, Say "Peace be with you!" while we cry, Like those of old,--"It is the Lord!" Our Lord! our God! Thy Spirit's seal Impress on our recorded vow, And may our peaceful lives reveal The truth of what we witness now. Topics: Covenant of peace Languages: English
