Address to the Holy Spirit

Appears in 183 hymnals Topics: At the Opening of Public Worship First Line: Once more we come before our God Lyrics: 1 Once more we come before our God, Once more His blessings ask; O may not duty seem a load; Nor worship prove a task! 2 Father, thy quick'ning Spirit send From heav'n in JESUS name, To make our waiting minds attend, And put our souls in frame. 3 To seek thee all our hearts dispose, To each thy blessings suit; And let the seed thy servant sows Produce a plenteous fruit. 4 Bid the refreshing north-wind wake; Say to the south-wind, blow; Let ev'ry plant the pow'r partake, And all the garden grow. 5 Revive the parch'd with heav'nly show'rs, The cold with warmth divine; And as the benefit is ours, Be all the glory thine.

Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Worship public Lyrics: 1 Where shall we go to seek and find An Habitation for our GOD; A Dwelling for th' eternal Mind, Among the Sons of Flesh and Blood? 2 The GOD of Jacob chose the Hill Of Sion for his ancient Rest; And Sion is his Dwelling still, His Church is with his Presence blest. 3 Here will I fix my gracious Throne, And reign for ever, saith the Lord; Here shall my Pow'r and Love be known, And Blessings shall attend my Word. 4 Here will I meet the hungry Poor, And fill their Souls with living Bread; Sinners that wait before my Door With sweet Provision shall be fed. 5 Girded with Truth, and cloth'd with Grace, My Priests, my Ministers shall shine; Not Aaron, in his costly Dress Made an Appearance so divine. 6 The Saints, unable to contain Their inward Joys, shall shout and sing, The Son of David here shall reign, And Sion triumph in her King. 7 [Jesus shall see a num'rous Seed Born here t'uphold his glorious Name; His Crown shall flourish on his Head, While all his Foes are cloath'd with Shame.] Scripture: Psalm 132:5

Pause. 4 Arise, O King of Grace, arise, And enter to thy Rest; Lo! thy Church waits with longing Eyes Thus to be own'd and blest. 5 Enter with all thy glorious Train, Thy Spirit and thy Word; All that the Ark did once contain Could no such Grace afford. 4 Here, mighty GOD, accept our Vows, Here let thy Praise be spread: Bless the Provisions of thy House, And fill thy Poor with Bread. 7 Here let the Son of David reign, Let GOD's Anointed shine; Justice and Truth his Court maintain, With Love and Pow'r divine. 8 Here let him hold a lasting Throne, And as his Kingdom grows, Fresh Honours shall adorn his Crown, And Shame confound his Foes. Scripture: Psalm 132:4-8

My Spirit sinks within me, Lord

Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Complaint of the Absence from Public Worship Lyrics: 1 My Spirits sink within me, Lord, But I will call thy Name to mind; And Times of past Distress record, When I have found my GOD was kind. 2 Huge Troubles, with tumultuous Noise, Swell like a Sea, and round me spread; Thy Water-spouts drown all my Joys, And rising Waves roll o'er my Head. 3 Yet will the Lord command his Love, When I address his Throne by Day, Nor in the Night his grace remove; The Night shall hear me sing and pray. 4 I'll cast myself before his Feet, And say, "My GOD, my heav'nly Rock, "Why doth thy Love so long forget "The Soul that groans beneath thy Stroke?" 5 I'll chide my Heart that sinks so low, Why should my Soul indulge her Grief? Hope in the Lord, and praise him too; He is my Rest, my sure Relief. 6 Thy Light and Truth shall guide me still, Thy Word shall my best Thoughts employ, And lead me to thine heav'nly Hill, My GOD, my most exceeding Joy. Scripture: Psalm 42:6-11
