The happiness of humble worship
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship Public Worship; Public Religion First Line: How lovely, how divinely sweet Lyrics: 1 How lovely, how divinely sweet
O Lord, thy sacred courts appear
Fain would my longing passions meet
The glories of thy presence there.
2 O, blest the men, blest their employ,
Whom thy indulgent favors raise
To dwell in these abodes of joy,
And sing thy never-ceasing praise.
3 Happy the men whom strength divine,
With ardent love and zeal inspires;
Whose steps to thy blest way incline,
With willing hearts and warm desires.
4 One day within thy sacred gate,
Affords more real joy to me,
Than thousands in the tents of state;
The meanest place is bliss with thee.
5 God is a sun; our brightest day
From his reviving presence flows;
God is a shield, thro' all the way,
To guard us from surrounding foes.
6 He pours his kindest blessings down,
Profusely down on souls sincere;
And grace shall guide, and glory crown
The happy favorites of his care.
7 O Lord of hosts, thou God of grace,
How blest, divinely blest, is he,
Who trusts thy love and seeks thy face,
And fixes all his hopes on thee! Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English

The unctious word of God,
Which preaches Jesus Christ, our Lord,
His suff'rings, death and blood.
2 How it reveals his mystery!
Who did our souls redeem;
Explains the sacred unity,
And shouts us, sav'd in him.
3 It shews us ev'ry law command,
Dear Lamb, fulfill'd in thee;
And bids us, fast and fearless stand,
Where thou hast made us free.
4 Dear, glorious Lamb, we thee adore;
We praise thee, for thy word:
But for thyself, we praise thee more,
O! holy, holy Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:21 Languages: English

On opening a place of Worship
Author: B. Francis Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXXVIII (1792) Topics: Worship Public Worship; Public Religion First Line: In sweet exalted strains Lyrics: 1 In sweet exalted strains
The king of glory praise;
O'er heaven and earth he reigns,
Thro' everlasting days;
He with a nod, the world controls,
Sustains or sinks the distant poles.
2 To earth he bends his throne,
His throne of grace divine;
Wide is his bounty known,
And wide his glories shine;
Fair Salem, still his chosen rest,
Is with his smiles and presence blest.
3 Then, king of glory come,
And with thy favor crown
This temple as thy dome,
This people as thy own:
Beneath this roof, O deign to show,
How God can dwell with men below.
4 Here, may thine ears attend
Our interceding cries,
And grateful praise ascend
All fragrant to the skies:
Here may thy word melodious sound,
And spread celestial joys around.
5 Here, may th' attentive throng
Imbibe thy truth and love,
And converts join the song
Of seraphims above,
And willing crowds surround thy board
With sacred joy and sweet accord,
6 Here, may our unborn sons
And daughters sound thy praise,
And shine like polish'd stones,
Thro' long succeeding days;
Here, Lord, display thy saving power,
While temples stand, and men adore. Languages: English
On opening a place of Worship
Delight in God's house and confidence in him
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship Public Worship; Public Religion First Line: Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my Light Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my light,
What danger shall my soul affright?
Strength of my life! what arm shall dare
To hurt whom thou hast own'd thy care?
2 One wish, with holy transport warm,
My heart has form'd, and yet shall form;
One gift I ask; that to my end
Fair Sion's dome I may attend;
3 There joyful find a sure abode,
And view the beauty of my God;
For he within his hallow'd shrine
My secret refuge shall assign.
4 When thou with condescending grace,
Hast bid me seek thy shining face,
My heart reply'd to thy kind word,
Thee will I seek, all-gracious Lord.
5 Should every earthly friend depart,
And nature leave a parent's heart;
My God, on whom my hopes depend,
Will be my father and my friend.
6 Ye humble souls, in every strait
On God with sacred courage wait;
His hand shall life and strength afford,
O ever wait upon the Lord.

To seek and do thy will.

With reverence and fear,
Cause us to seek until we find
Thy spirit with us here.
4 Extend to us, thy gracious hands,
Bless us with heavenly grace--
So shall we live to thy commands,
And walk in all thy ways.

So shall we know that thou art love,
And feel thy grace at heart. Languages: English

Thanksgiving
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCCIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns, adapted to Particular Parts of Public Worship First Line: Ye sons of men, with joy record Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, with joy record
The various wonders of the Lord;
And let his pow'r and goodness sound
Thro' all your tribes, the earth around.
2 Let the high heav'ns your songs invite,
Those spacious fields of brilliant light;
Where sun, and moon, and planets roll,
And stars, that glow from pole to pole.
3 Sing, earth, in verdant robes array'd,
Its herbs and flow'rs, its fruits and shade;
Peopled with life of various forms,
Of fish, and fowl, and beasts, and worms.
4 View the broad sea's majestic plains,
And think how wide its maker reigns;
That band remotest nations joins,
And on each wave, his goodness shines.
5 But O! that brighter world ab ove,
Where lives and reigns incarnate love!
God's only Son in flesh array'd,
For man, a bleeding victim made.
6 Thither, my soul with rapture soar;
There in thee land of praise adore;
The theme demands an angel's lay,
Demands an everlasting day. Scripture: Psalm 25:8 Languages: English
