Psalm 92
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: LD1888 #27 (1888) First Line: Sweet is the work, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, O Lord,
Thy glorious name to sing;
To praise and pray--to hear thy word,
And grateful offerings bring.
2 Sweet--at the dawning light,
Thy boundless love to tell;
And when approach the shades of night,
Still on the theme to dwell.
3 Sweet--on this day of rest,
To join in heart and voice,
With those who love and serve thee best,
And in thy name rejoice.
4 To songs of praise and joy
Be every Sabbath given,
That such may be our blest employ
Eternally in heaven. Topics: Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: AILEEN

The eternal Sabbath
Author: S. G. Bulfinch Hymnal: LD1888 #28 (1888) First Line: Hail to the Sabbath day! Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Sabbath day!
The day divinely given,
When men to God their homage pay,
And earth draws near to heaven.
2 Lord, in this sacred hour,
Within thy courts we bend,
And bless thy love, and own thy power,
Our Father and our Friend.
3 But thou art not alone
In courts by mortals trod;
Nor only is the day thine own
When man draws near to God.
4 Thy temple is the arch
Of yon unmeasured sky;
Thy Sabbath, the stupendous march
Of vast eternity.
5 Lord, may that holier day
Dawn on thy servants' sight;
And purer worship may we pay
In heaven's unclouded light. Topics: Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: MORNINGTON

O thou almighty King;
Here we present the solemn vow,
And hymns of praise we sing.
3 While in thy house we kneel,
With trust and holy fear,
Thy mercy and thy truth reveal,
And lend a gracious ear.
4 Lord, teach our hearts to pray,
And tune our lips to sing;
Nor from the presence cast away
The sacrifice we bring. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Ezekiel 36:37 Languages: English Tune Title: PACKINGTON

Ye pilgrims! in Jehovah's ways,
With music pass along.

In rich profusion, spring;
The sun of glory gilds the path,
And dear companions sing.

In beauteous prospect, rise;
And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
Which sparkle through the skies.

Who marks the shining way,--
To him who leads the pilgrims on
To realms of endless day.

Psalm 63
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #31 (1888) First Line: My God! permit my tongue Lyrics: 1 My God! permit my tongue
This joy, to call thee mine;
And let my early cries prevail
To taste thy love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting soul
Thy mercy doth implore;
Not travelers, in desert lands,
Can pant for water more.
3 For life, without thy love,
No relish can afford;
No joy can be compared to this,--
To serve and please the Lord.
4 In wakeful hours at night,
I call my God to mind;
I think how wise thy counsels are,
And all thy dealings kind.
5 Since thou hast been my help,
To thee my spirit flies;
And, on thy watchful providence,
My cheerful hope relies.
6 The shadow of thy wings
My soul in safety keeps;
I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my steps. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Psalm 42:1 Languages: English Tune Title: VIGIL

That saw the Lord arise!
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here may we sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day, amid the place
Where my dear Lord hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Psalm 84:1 Languages: English Tune Title: LISBON

Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads--
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
4 While thy word is heard with awe,
While we tremble at thy law,
Let thy gospel's wondrous love
Every doubt and fear remove.
5 From thy house when we return,
Let our hearts within us burn;
That at evening we may say--
"We have walked with God to-day." Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Jeremiah 23:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CHAPEL

In compassion now descend;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 In thine own appointed way,
Now we seek thee; here we stay;
Lord, we know not how to go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.

Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up;
Make them strong in faith and hope.
5 Grant that all may seek and find
Thee a God supremely kind;
Heal the sick; the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in thee. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Genesis 32:26 Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON

Psalm 23
Author: James Merrick Hymnal: LD1888 #35 (1888) 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. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Psalm 23:1 Languages: English Tune Title: DIJON

Twilight
Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: LD1888 #36 (1888) First Line: Softly fades the twilight ray Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life's setting sun,
When the Christian's course is run.
2 Peace is on the world abroad;
'Tis the holy peace of God--
Symbol of the peace within
When the spirit rests from sin.
3 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshiper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize.
4 Saviour! may our Sabbaths be
Days of joy and peace in thee,
Till in heaven our souls repose,
Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close. Topics: Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: DIJON
