Give to our God immortal praise!
Author: I. Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #28 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Give to our God immortal praise!
Mercy and truth are all His ways:
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat His mercies in your song.
2 Give to the Lord of lords renown,
The King of kings with glory crown:
His mercies ever shall endure,
When lords and kings are known no more.
3 He built the earth, He spread the sky,
And fixed the starry lights on high:
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat His mercies in your song.
4 He fills the sun with morning light;
He bids the moon direct the night:
His mercies ever shall endure,
When sun and moon shall shine no more.
5 He sent His Son with power to save
From guilt and darkness, and the grave:
Wonders of grace to God belong;
Repeat His mercies in your song.
6 Through this vain world He guides our feet,
And leads us to His heavenly seat:
His mercies ever shall endure,
When this vain world shall be no more.

Blessed Jesus, at Thy word
Author: T. Clausnitzer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #34 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Topics: Worship in General Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy word
We are gathered all to hear Thee;
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
Now to seek and love and fear Thee;
By Thy teachings sweet and holy,
Drawn from earth to love Thee solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
Till Thy Spirit breaks our night
With the beams of truth unclouded.
Thou alone to God canst win us,
Thou must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Savior, Thyself impart!
Light of light, from God proceeding,
Open Thou our ears and heart,
Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading;
Hear the cry Thy people raises;
Hear, and bless our prayers and praises.

Blessed Jesus, at Thy word
Open now thy gates of beauty

Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul, in joyful duty,
Waits for Him who answers prayer;
O how blessed is this place,
Filled with solace, light, and grace.
2 Lord, my God, I come before Thee,
Do not hide Thy face from me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee
There a heaven on earth must be;
To my heart, O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted,
Here Thy seed is duly sown:
Let my soul, where it is planted,
Bring forth precious sheaves alone,
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken,
Let me keep Thy gift divine;
Howsoe'er temptations thicken,
May Thy word forever shine
As my guiding star through life,
As my comfort in the strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee;
Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thou dost Thy people feed;
Here of living waters flow,
Here is balm for all our woe.

Lord Jesus Christ, be present now
Author: Wilhelm II. Duke of Sachse-Weimar Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #36 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship in General Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
And let Thy Holy Spirit bow
All hearts in love and fear today,
To hear the truth and keep Thy way.

Our hearts in true devotion raise;
Our faith increase, our minds enlight,
That we may know Thy name aright:
3 Until we join the host that cry,
"Holy art Thou, O Lord most High!"
And 'mid the light of that blest place
Shall gaze upon Thee face to face.

Lord Jesus Christ, be present now
Safely through another week
Author: J. Newton Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #38 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty power,
Fed and guided by His hand,
Though ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciléd face;
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.

Wherein Thine honor dwelleth;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excelleth;
It is the house of prayer,
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.
2 We love Thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth so dearer?
For there, in faith adored,
We find Thy presence nearer'
We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
And joys that never cease.
3 We love to sing below
For mercies freely given;
But most we long to know
The triumph-song of heaven.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.

O how holy is this place
Author: B. Schmolk Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #45 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Worship in General Close of Service Lyrics: 1 O how holy is this place
Where the Lord a house hath given!
Here we come before His face;
This must be the gate of heaven.
Here His Word proclaims His grace.
O how holy is this place!
2 Thousand thanks, great God, arise
Unto Thee, in grace excelling.
Who, though filling all the skies,
Yet dost make this house Thy dwelling,
And to us dost here dispense
Thy pure word and sacraments.
3 Hitherto upon this house
Hath salvation surely rested.
Here our God hath been with us,
And Himself hath manifested.
Here His Spirit He hath given
To reveal the way to heaven.
4 O how lovely, meet and right
In His temple to adore Him!
Let us now in Him delight,
And with gladness come before Him.
Treasures lasting, precious, pure,
From above we here secure.
5 Dearest Guest, with us abide,
With Thy holy word still feed us;
Hitherto by Thee supplied,
Still be living waters lead us!
Keep Thy Church on earth secure
While the earth itself endure.

How blest are they who hear God's word
Author: J. N. Brun Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #46 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: Worship in General Close of Service Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who hear God's word,
And keep and heed what they have heard:
They wisdom daily gather;
Their light shines brighter day by day,
And while they tread life's weary way,
They have the oil of gladness
To soothe their pain and sadness.
2 God's word a treasure is to me,
Through sorrow's night my sun shall be,
The shield of faith in battle;
The Father's hand hath written there
My title as His child and heir,
"The kingdom's thine forever;"
That promise faileth never.
3 Today I was my Savior's guest,
My soul was here so richly blest,
The bread of Life receiving.
O may thereby my faith prevail,
So that its fruits shall never fail
Till my account is given
Before the throne in heaven. Tune Title: [How blest are they who hear God's word]

Fill our hearts with joy and peace!
Let us each, Thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us, O refresh us,
Traveling through this wilderness.
2 Thanks we give and adoration
For Thy gospel's joyful sound.
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound.
May Thy presence: May Thy presence:
With us evermore be found.
3 So, whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Born on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we ready, may we ready,
Rise and reign in endless day. Tune Title: [Lord dismiss us with Thy blessing]
Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing
