A-men. 3 We in part our weakness know, And in part discern our foe; Well for us, before thine eyes All our danger open lies; Turn not from us, while we plead Thy compassions and our need. 4 Fain would we thy Word embrace, Live each moment on thy grace, All our selves to thee consign, Fold up all our wills in thine, Think, and speak, and do, and be Simply that which pleases thee. 5 Hear us, Lord, and that right soon; Hear, and grant the choicest boon That thy love can e’er impart, Loyal singleness of heart; So shall this and all our days, Christ our God, show forth thy praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BARMOUTH

With grateful hearts to you we sing! Earth and heaven tell the story Of your eternal might and glory, And all your works their incense bring. Lo, hosts of cherubim And countless seraphim Sing hosanna! Holy is God, almighty God, All-merciful and all-wise God! 2 God of light, exalted, holy! Your tender care protects the lowly, Leaves not your children to their fate. You are gracious, God, our Father; Your chosen people still you gather Within your arms compassionate. You gave us Christ, your Son, Through whom your grace is won; And your Spirit Will dwell within to cleanse from sin The ones your Son has died to win. 3 Bless us, Lord, and keep us ever; Reveal your face and show your favor; Upon your people smile with peace. Here we sing our hymns, rejoicing, Until in heav'n we shall be voicing Your praise in strains that never cease; Where hosts of cherubim And countless seraphim Sing hosanna! Holy is God, almighty God, All-merciful and all-wise God! Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

Here, blessed Jesus, we appear!

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Beginning of Public Worship Lyrics: 1 Here, blessed Jesus, we appear! Thy sacred word of truth to hear; Draw from this world our minds to thee, And faithful hearers we shall be. 2 How wretched is our state of mind! Our hearts how stupid, deaf and blind; the way of life we do not know Nor have we pow'r therein to go. 3 Thy grace to us, dear Lord afford, To hear and understand thy word! Lo, here we wait for grace divine, Till eery heart be truly thine. 4 Without thy grace we hear in vain, In doubts and darkness we remain, Till thou art pleas'd that light to give, That light in which our souls may live. 5 We pray thee Lord, to us draw near; Our feeble prayer and praises hear-- According to thy promise Lord! We wait thy spirit with the word. Languages: English
