Lord, for ever at Thy side
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
Lord, for ever at thy side
Let my place and portion be:
Strip me of the robe of pride,
Clothe me with humility.
Meekly may my soul receive,
All thy Spirit hath revealed;
Thou hast spoken; I believe,
Though the oracle be sealed.
Humble as a little child,
Weanèd from the mother's breast,
By no subtleties beguiled,
On thy faithful word I rest.
Israel now and evermore,
In the Lord Jehovah trust;
Him, in all his ways, adore,
Wise, and wonderful, and just.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One!
Glory, as of old, to thee,
Now and evermore shall be.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 131 Used With Tune: SEYMOUR
Lord, for ever at Thy side
Call Jehovah thy salvation
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
Call Jehovah thy salvation,
Rest beneath the Almighty's shade;
In his secret habitation
Dwell, and never be dismayed.
There no tumult can alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare;
Guile nor violence can harm thee,
In eternal safeguard there.
God shall charge his angel legions
Watch and ward o'er thee to keep:
Though thou walk through hostile regions,
Though in desert wilds thou sleep.
Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection,
He will shield thee from above.
Thou shalt call on him in trouble,
He will hearken, he will save;
Here for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.
Praise the Father, earth and heaven,
Praise the Son, the Spirit praise,
As it was, and is, be given
Glory through eternal days.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 91 Used With Tune: TRUST
Call Jehovah thy salvation
O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,387 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
280
So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
Amen.
Used With Tune: BEATITUDO
O for a closer walk with God
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 558 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noonday walks he shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.
When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary, wandering steps he leads,
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscape flow.
291
Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
Amen.
O God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be glory in the highest given,
By all in earth, and all in heaven,
As was through ages heretofore,
Is now, and shall be evermore.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: CAREY
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,258 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
406
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our Guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
O God, our help in ages past
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,011 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
When all thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
O how shall words with equal warmth
The gratitude declare,
That glows within my ravished heart?
But thou canst read it there.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
When nature fails, and day and night
Divide thy works no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercy shall adore.
Through all eternity, to thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
But O eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise!
Amen.

When all Thy mercies, O my God
O God of Bethel, by Whose hand
Author: Philip Doddridge; John Logan Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 389 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led:
Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before thy throne of grace:
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
O spread thy sheltering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace!
Such blessings from thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And thou shalt be our chosen God,
And portion evermore.
Amen.

O God of Bethel, by Whose hand
O Thou to Whose all-searching sight
Author: N. L. von Zinzendorf; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 391 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
O Thou to whose all-searching sight
The darkness shineth as the light,
Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee:
O burst these bonds, and set it free!
Wash out its stains, refine its dross,
Nail my affections to the cross;
Hallow each thought; let all within
Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean.
If in this darksome wild I stray,
Be thou my Light, be thou my Way;
No foes, no evils need I fear,
No harm, while thou, my God, art near.
When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
Jesus, thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head, and cheer my heart.
Savior, where'er thy steps I see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee:
O let thy hand support me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill!
Amen.

O Thou to Whose all-searching sight
How wondrous and great
Author: Henry U. Onderdonk Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
How wondrous and great
Thy works, God of praise!
How just, King of saints,
And true are thy ways!
O who shall not fear thee,
And honour thy Name?
Thou only art holy,
Thou only supreme.
To nations long dark
Thy light shall be shown;
Their worship and vows
Shall come to thy throne:
Thy truth and thy judgments
Shall spread all abroad,
Till earth's every people
Confess thee their God.
Amen.

How wondrous and great
Pleasant are thy courts above
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics:
Pleasant are thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe.
O my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of thy saints,
For the brightness of thy face,
For thy fullness, God of grace!
Happy birds that sing and fly
Round thy altars, O Most High!
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like the wandering dove, that found
No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair
And enjoy it ever there.
425
Happy souls! their praises flow
Ever in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies:
On they go from strength to strength
Till they reach thy throne at length,
At thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by thy saving grace;
Give me at thy side a place.
Sun and shield alike thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart.
Grace and glory flow from thee;
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me!
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: MAIDSTONE
Pleasant are thy courts above
