Lord of nature, source of light
After Sermon
Author: Burnham Meter: 8.8.8. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Before and After Sermon First Line: The gospel's a message of peace Lyrics: 1 The gospel’s a message of peace,
We oft by experience have felt;
’Tis filled with Immanuel’s grace,
And sweeps away mountains of guilt.
O sweet revelation divine!
Delighted, we’ve heard its contents;
All through it our Jesus does shine.
A lover of all his dear saints.
2 Through various scenes of distress,
Perplexèd with sin, guilt, and fear;
This glorious message of grace
Has frequently yielded good cheer.
Dear Lord, may we prize the rich peace,
The peace so abundantly given;
It flows through the word of thy grace,
And makes us anticipate heaven.

To proclaim thy wondrous love!

Let us find thy promis'd rest.

Prayer for Minister and People
Looking upward
Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Earth has detain'd me prisoner long Lyrics: 1 Earth has detain'd me prisoner long
And I’m grown weary now
My heart, my hand, my ear my tongue,
There’s nothing here for you.
2 Lord in my thoughts, I stretch me down,
And upwards glance mine eyes;
Upward (my Father) to thy throne,
And to my native skies.
3 There the dear Man my Saviour sits,
The GOD, how bright he shines!
And scatters infinite delights
On all the happy minds.
4 Seraphs with elevated strains
Circle the throne around,
And move and charm the starry plains
With an immortal sound.
5 JESUS the Lord their harps employs,
JESUS my love they sing.
JESUS the name of both our joys
Sounds sweet from every string.

Looking upward
God's presence in his House
Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: My soul how lovely is the place Lyrics: 1 My soul how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heav'n to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.
2 There the great Monarch of the skies
His saving pow'r displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quick'ning rays.
3 With his rich gifts the heav'nly dove
Descends and fills the place,
While Christ reveals his wond'rous love
And sheds abroad his grace.
4 There mighty God thy words declare
The secrets of thy will;
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.
My heart and flesh cry out for thee,
While far from thine abode;
When shall I tread thy courts, and see
My Savior and my God?
The sparrow builds herself a nest,
And suffers no remove;
O make me, like the sparrows, blest,
To dwell but where I love.
To sit one day beneath thine eye,
And hear thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity
Employed in carnal joys.
Lord, at thy threshold I would wait
While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Or live in tents of sin.
Could I command the spacious land,
And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away.
Scripture: Psalm 84

The Pool of Bethesda
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: How long, thou faithful God, shall I Lyrics: 1 How long, thou faithful God, shall I
Here on thy ways forgotten lie?
When shall the means of healing be
The channels of thy grace to me?
2 Sinners on every side step in,
And wash away their pain and sin;
But I, an helpless sin-sick soul,
Still ie expiring at the Pool.
3 Thou cov'nant angel swift come down,
To-day thine own appointments crown;
Thy power into the means infuse,
And give them now their sacred use.
4 Thou seest me lying at the Pool.
I would, thou know'st I would be whole;
O let the troubled waters move,
And minister thy healing love. Scripture: John 5:2-4

Author: Burnham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Before and After Sermon First Line: O! bless thy servant, dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 O bless thy servant, dearest Lord,
While he shall preach thy gospel word;
May he declare delightful things,
Touching the glorious King of kings.
2 O grant him bright celestial views,
While he proclaims the gospel news;
With fiery zeal his soul inflame,
While he exalts the bleeding Lamb.
3 Give him clear light, and burning love;
Shower down thy blessings from above;
O may we hear the Saviour’s voice,
And in his precious name rejoice.

Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 183 hymnals Topics: Before and After Sermon First Line: Once more we come before our God Lyrics: 1 Once more we come before our God;
Once more his blessing ask;
O may not duty seem a load,
Nor worship prove a task.
2 Father, thy quickening Spirit send
From heaven, in Jesus’ name,
To make our waiting minds attend,
And put our souls in frame.
3 May we receive the word we hear,
Each in an honest heart;
Hoard up the precious treasure there,
And never with it part.
4 To seek thee all our hearts dispose;
To each thy blessings suit;
And let the seed thy servant sows
Produce a copious fruit.
5 Bid the refreshing north wind wake;
Say to the south wind, Blow;
Let every plant the power partake,
And all the garden grow.
6 Revive the parched with heavenly showers;
The cold with warmth divine;
And as the benefit is ours,
Be all the glory thine.

Casting the Gospel Net
Author: Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: Now while the gospel net is cast Lyrics: 1 Now while the gospel net is cast,
Do thou, O Lord, the effort own;
From numerous disappointments past,
Teach us to hope in thee alone.
2 May this be a much favor'd hour,
To souls in satan's bondage led;
O clothe thy word with sovereign power
To break the rocks and raise the dead!
3 To mourners speak a cheering word,
On seeking souls vouchsafe to shine;
Let poor backsliders be restor'd,
And all thy saints in praises join.
4 [O hear our prayer, and give us hope,
That when thy voice shall call us home,
Thou still wilt raise a people up
To love and praise thee in our room. Scripture: Luke 5:5

Encouragement to wait on God
Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord,
Bless'd is the man that hears my word;
Keeps daily watch before my gates,
And at my feet for mercy waits.
2 The soul that seeks me shall obtain
Immortal wealth, and heav'nly gain,
Immortal life is his reward,
Life, and the favour of the Lord.
3 But the vile wretch that flies from me,
Doth his own soul an injury;
Fools that against my grace rebel,
Seek death, and love the road to hell.
