Psalm 23

Author: James Merrick Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service First Line: To thy pastures fair and large Lyrics: 1 To thy pastures fair and large, Heavenly Shepherd, lead thy charge, And my couch, with tenderest care, 'Mid the springing grass prepare. 2 When I faint with summer's heat, Thou shalt guide my weary feet To the streams that, still and slow, Through the verdant meadows flow. 3 Safe the dreary vale I tread, By the shades of death o'erspread, With thy rod and staff supplied, This my guard--and that my guide. 4 Constant to my latest end, Thou my footsteps shalt attend; And shalt bid thy hallowed dome Yield me an eternal home.

Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me, at my Father's throne, Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And, since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Scatter all my unbelief; More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day. Used With Tune: HALLE

To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing; To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares shall seize my breast; Oh! may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound! 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels! how divine! 4 Lord! I shall share a glorious part, When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ, In that eternal world of joy.

Evening Song

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Upward where the stars are burning Lyrics: 1 Upward where the stars are burning, Silent, silent in their turning, Round the never changing pole; Upward where the sky is brightest, Upward where the blue is lightest, Lift I now my longing soul. 2 Far beyond the arch of gladness, Far beyond these clouds of sadness, Are the many mansions fair: Far from pain and sin and folly, In that palace of the holy I would find my mansion there. 3 Where the Lamb on high is seated, By ten thousand voices greeted: Lord of lords, and King of kings! Son of man, they crown, they crown him, Son of God, they own, they own him, With his name the palace rings. 4 Blessing, honor, without measure, Heavenly riches, earthly treasure, Lay we at his blessed feet: Poor the praise that now we render, Lord shall be our voices yonder, When before his throne we meet.
