Before Sermon

Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 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.

Holy Walk

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 497 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: So let our lips and lives express Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express, The holy gospel we profess; So let our walks and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine. 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad, The honours of our Saviour God: When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd; Passion and envy, lust and pride; Whilst justice, temp'rance, truth, and love Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the LORD, And faith stands leaning on his word.

Fear Not

Author: Beddome Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Ye trembling souls dismiss your fears Lyrics: 1 Ye trembling souls dismiss your fears Be mercy all your theme; Mercy which like a river flows, In one continued stream. 2 Fear not the powers of earth and hell, God will these powers restrain; His mighty arm their rage repel, And make their efforts vain, 3 Fear not the want of outward good, He will for his provide; Grants them supplies of daily food, And gives them heaven beside. 4 Fear not that he will e'er forsake, Or leave His work undone; He's faithful to his promises, And faithful to his son. 5 You in his wisdom, power and grace, May confidently trust; His wisdom guides, his power protects, His grace rewards the just.

The Joys of Heaven

Author: Steel Appears in 160 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come, LORD, and warm each languid heart Lyrics: 1 Come, LORD, and warm each languid heart, Inspire each lifeless tongue; And let the joys of heaven impart Their influ'nce to our song. 2 Then to the shining seats of bliss The wings of faith shall soar, And all the charms of paradise Our raptur'd thoughts explore. 3 Pleasures unsully'd flourish there, Beyond the reach of time; Not blooming Eden smil'd so fair In all her flow'ry prime. 4 Sorrow and pain, and ev'ry care, And discord there shall cease; And perfect joy and love sincere Adorn the realms of peace. 5 The soul, from sin for ever free, shall mourn its pow'r no more; But cloth'd in spotless purity, Redeeming love adore. 6 There shall the followers of the Lamb, Join in immortal songs; And endless honours to his name Employ their tuneful tongues. 7 LORD, tune our hearts to praise and love Our feeble notes inspire; Till in thy blissful courts above We join th' angelic choir.

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. Text Sources: Lyric Poems

Breathing after the holy Spirit

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 1,243 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls can neither fly, nor go To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear LORD, and shall we ever lie At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? 5 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Come shed abroad a Saviour’s love, And that shall kindle ours.

A blessed Gospel

Scripture: Psalm 79

Obedience and Death of Christ

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Father, I sing thy wond'rous grace Lyrics: 1 Father, I sing thy wond'rous grace, I bless my Saviour's name. He bought salvation for the poor, And bore the sinners shame. 2 His deep distress has rais'd us high; His duty and his zeal. Fulfill'd the law which mortals broke, And finish'd all thy will. 3 His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God, Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goats or bullocks blood. 4 This shall his humble foll'wers see, And set their hearts at rest; They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest. 4 Let heav'n, and all that dwell on high, To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join'd t' advance the praise. Scripture: Psalm 69
