Before Sermon

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Come worship at Immanuel's feet Lyrics: 1 Come worship at Immanuel's feet, See in his face what wonders meet! Words are too feeble to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. 2 When shall we climb those higher skies, Where storms and tempests never rise; Where he unveils his lovely face, And shines and reigns the God of grace? 3 Nor earth, nor air nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace Till we behold him, face to face.

Master Builder

Author: James Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Ye are God's building, is the word Lyrics: 1 Ye are God's building, is the word, Rais'd for the glory of the Lord, Where he delights to dwell: In Jesus, rais'd by his own hand, This building ever shall withstand The hostile gates of hell. 2 As skilful builders always care Proper materials to prepare, Needful for strength and grace; So did he choose us in our head, Ere time commenc'd, or worlds were made, To build his dwelling place. 3 Such no untemper'd mortar use, But justly will the same refuse For what's more excellent; All human daubings God despis'd; When he his noble building rais'd, Christ was the strong cement. 4 Would you the stately pile survey, Its beauty, strength and harmony? Then Christ Immanuel see! Where all perfections in him meet, There is the building seen complete, The sum of all is He. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9

Or keep the captives of his blood? Not earth, nor hell. More strong than they, Christ conquers as the mighty God. Scripture: Psalm 50:1

Meter: Irregular Appears in 553 hymnals First Line: Hail the day that sees him rise Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise, Ravish'd from our wishful eyes! Christ a while to mortals giv'n, Reascends his native heav'n: There the pompous triumph waits, Lift your heads, eternal gates! Wide unfold the radiant scene, Take the King of glory in! 2 Him tho' highest heaven receives, Still he loves the earth he leaves; Tho' returning to his throne, Still he calls mankind his own: Still for us he intercedes, Prevalent his death he pleads; Next himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 3 Master (may we ever say) Taken from our head to day; See thy faithful servants, see, Ever gazing up to thee! Grant, tho' parted from our sight, High above yon azure height: Grant our souls may thither rise, Foll'wing thee beyond the skies. 4 Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the wings of love; Looking when our Lord shall come, Longing, gasping after home, There we shall with thee remain, Partners of thine endless reign; There thy face unclouded see, Find our heav'n of heav'n in thee.

Author: John Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: My Redeemer, let me be Lyrics: 1 My Redeemer, let me be Quite happy at thy feet, Still to know myself and thee, Be this my bitter sweet: Look upon my infant state, And with a father's yearning bless; Don't thy ransom'd child forget, Nor leave me in distress. 2 I have foolishly abus'd My Saviour's bleeding love; All my gifts, my God, misus'd, When by temptation drove: Justly I deserve to be Forsaken by my Lord and God; Yet shall justice plead for me, For whom thou shedd'st thy blood. 3 Thy blest smiles, my gracious Lord, Shall cheer my drooping heart; I'm instructed in thy word That thou unchanging art: Draw me to the Depth profound Of all thy sorrows, blood and sweat, Passing on, thro' ev'ry wound, Unto thy mercy seat: 4 There, reclining on thy breast, Th' eternal Sabbath find; Proving in thee perfect rest To my poor lab'ring mind! Waiting 'till my Lord I see, And be like him forever pure, At the heav'nly jubilee, This bliss to me is sure.
