Author: John A. Wallace Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires, When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails, When earthly loves decay. 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high. 4 But there's a power which man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain. 5 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down!

Psalm 100

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 979 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations! bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone: He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame; What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker! to thy name? 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity, thy love, Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Gen. 32:26

Author: John Newton Appears in 168 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Lord! I cannot let thee go Lyrics: 1 Lord! I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Once a sinner, near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free Lord! that mercy came to me. 3 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now, Who could hold me up but thou? 4 Thou hast helped in every need This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 5 No--I must maintain my hold; 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, Since I plead for Jesus' sake.

"The blessed Trinity"

Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts, eternal King, By the heavens and earth adored; Angels and archangels sing, Chanting everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 2 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before the throne, Speeding thence at thy command, And, when thy commands are done, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 3 Cherubim and seraphim Vail their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the blessed Trinity. 4 Thee apostles, prophets thee, Thee the noble martyr band, Praise with solemn jubilee, Thee, the church in every land; Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 5 Hallelujah! Lord, to thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Godhead one, and Persons three; Join us with the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. Used With Tune: DIX

The Babe of Bethlehem

Author: William C. Dix Appears in 654 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: As with gladness men of old Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to thy manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy cradle rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide.
