Thy presence, gracious God, afford

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #494 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Before Sermon Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, gracious God, afford, Prepare us to receive thy word: Now let thy voice engage our ear, And faith be mixt with what we hear: 2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove, And fix our hearts and hopes above: With food divine may we be fed, And satisfied with living bread: 3 To us thy sacred word apply, With sovereign power and energy; And may we, in thy faith and fear, Reduce to practice what we hear: 4 Father, in us thy Son reveal; Teach us to know and do thy will: Thy saving power and love display; And guide us to the realms of day.

Jesus, thou dear redeeming Lord

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #495 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Before Sermon Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou dear redeeming Lord, Thy blessing we implore. Open the door to preach thy word, The great, effectual door. 2 Gather the outcasts in, and save From sin and satan's power! And let them now acceptance have, And know their gracious hour. 3 Lover of souls! thou know'st to prize What thou hast bought so dear; Come then, and in thy people's eyes With all thy wounds appear! 4 Appear, as when of old confest The suffering Son of God; And let us see thee in thy vest But newly dipt in blood. 5 The hardness of our hearts remove, Thou who for sin hast died; Show us the tokens of thy love, Thy feet, thy hands, thy side.
Jesus, thou dear redeeming Lord
