"The sacred fire"

Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Prayer is the breath of God in man Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the breath of God in man, Returning whence it came; Love is the sacred fire within, And prayer the rising flame. 2 It gives the burdened spirit case, And soothes the troubled breast; Yields comfort to the mourning soul, And to the weary rest. 3 When God inclines the heart to pray, He hath an ear to hear; To him there's music in a sigh, And beauty in a tear. 4 The humble suppliant cannot fail To have his wants supplied, Used With Tune: FARRANT

O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Opening of Services Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, how lovely, Thy tabernacles are; For them my heart is yearning In banishment afar. My souls is longing, fainting, Thy sacred courts to see; My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for Thee. 2 Beneath Thy care the sparrow Finds place for peaceful rest; To keep her young in safety The swallow finds a nest; Then, Lord, my King Almighty, Thy love will shelter me; Beside Thy holy altar My dwelling-place shall be. 3 Blest they who dwell in Zion, Whose joy and strength Thou art; Forever they will praise Thee, Thy ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers Shall fill the springs with peace, And all the way to Zion Their strength shall still increase. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: ST. EDITH (ST. HILDA)

The mercy seat

Author: Hugh Stowell Appears in 1,307 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service 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 skin 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.
