On opening a place of Worship

Author: B. Francis Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: Ordination hymns 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.

Lord of the living harvest

Author: Dr. J. S. Monsell, 1811-1875 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain; Accept these hands to labour, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As labourers in Thy vineyard, Lord send them out to be Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; To ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 O come, Thou Holy Spirit! And fill their souls with light, Clothe them in spotless raiment, In linen clean and white; Beside Thy sacred altar Be with them where they stand, To sanctify Thy people Through all this happy land.
