Our voice, in choral singing;
We come, with prayer and praise,
Our hearts' oblations bringing;
Thou art our fathers' God,
And ever shalt be ours:
Our lips and lives shall laud
Thy name, with all our powers.
2 Thy goodness, like the dew
On Hermon's hill descending,
Is every morning new,
And tells of love unending.
We bless Thy tender care
That led our wayward feet,
Past every fatal snare,
To streams and pastures sweet.
3 We bless Thy Son, who bore
The cross, for sinners dying;
Thy Spirit we adore,
The precious blood applying.
Let work and worship send
their incense unto Thee,
Till song and service blend,
Beside the crystal sea. Tune Title: [To Thee, O God, we raise Our voice]

We are gathered all to hear Thee;
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
Now to seek and love and fear Thee;
By Thy teachings sweet and holy,
Drawn from earth to love Thee solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
Till Thy Spirit breaks our night
With the beams of truth unclouded.
Thou alone to God canst win us,
Thou must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Savior, Thyself impart!
Light of light, from God proceeding,
Open Thou our ears and heart,
Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading;
Hear the cry Thy people raises;
Hear, and bless our prayers and praises.

Do not hide Thy face from me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee
There a heaven on earth must be;
To my heart, O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted,
Here Thy seed is duly sown:
Let my soul, where it is planted,
Bring forth precious sheaves alone,
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken,
Let me keep Thy gift divine;
Howsoe'er temptations thicken,
May Thy word forever shine
As my guiding star through life,
As my comfort in the strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee;
Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thou dost Thy people feed;
Here of living waters flow,
Here is balm for all our woe.

Safely through another week
Author: J. Newton Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #38 (1913) Topics: Beginning of Service; Worship in General Beginning of Service; Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty power,
Fed and guided by His hand,
Though ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciléd face;
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.

Father, who the light this day
Author: Julia Anne Elliott Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #40 (1913) Topics: Beginning of Service; Worship in General Beginning of Service; Beginning of Service Lyrics: 1 Father, who the light this day
Out of darkness didst create,
Shine upon us now, we pray,
While within Thy courts we wait;
Wean us from the works of night,
Make us children of the light.
2 Savior, who this day didst break
From the bondage of the tomb,
Bid our slumbering souls awake,
And dispel their doubt and gloom;
Let us, from our bonds set free,
Rise from sin and live to Thee.
3 Blessed Spirit, Comforter,
Sent this day from Christ on high,
Lord, on us Thy gifts confer,
Cleanse, illumine, sanctify;
All Thine influence shed abroad;
Lead us to the truth of God.

Wherein Thine honor dwelleth;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excelleth;

Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.

O what on earth so dearer?
For there, in faith adored,
We find Thy presence nearer'
We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
And joys that never cease.
3 We love to sing below
For mercies freely given;
But most we long to know
The triumph-song of heaven.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.

Learn Thy will, and keep Thy way.

When to Thee we lift our cry;
Pardon speak for each transgression;
To our suppliant soul draw nigh:

Thy good grace our steps protecting;
Look on us with pitying eye,
All we need, O Lord, supply. Tune Title: [Lord, we humbly bow before Thee, in Thy courts on this Thy day]
