Invocation

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LD1888 #56 (1888) First Line: Light of life, seraphic Fire Lyrics: 1 Light of life, seraphic Fire, Love divine, thyself impart; Every fainting soul inspire; Enter every drooping heart; Every mournful sinner cheer; Scatter all our guilty gloom; Father! in thy grace appear, To thy human temples come. 2 Come, in this accepted hour, Bring thy heavenly kingdom in; Fill us with thy glorious power, Set us free from all our sin: Nothing more can we require, We will covet nothing less; Be thou all our heart's desire, All our joy, and all our peace.

Psalm 84

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: LD1888 #57 (1888) First Line: Pleasant are thy courts above Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are thy courts below In this land of sin and woe. Oh, my spirit longs and faints For the converse of thy saints, For the brightness of thy face, King of glory, God of grace! 2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls that find a rest, In their 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. 3 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. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through this 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.

The mercy-seat

Author: Hugh Stowell Hymnal: LD1888 #65 (1888) First Line: From every stormy wind that blows Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads-- A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet, Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagle wings we soar, And sense and sin molest no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat! 5 Oh! let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This throbbing heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.
