Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him Who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless. Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Amen.

At the font my vows were spoken By my parents in the Lord; That my vows shall be unbroken, At the altar I record. 2 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, O my only Guard from harm! Meet me now with Thy salvation, In the Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that, faith and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining Steadfast in the true belief, Resting in my Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.

Savior, sprinkle many nations

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 3 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give the Word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Topics: The Church Year Mission Used With Tune: RIPLEY

The Apostles' Creed

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I believe in God the Father Lyrics: 1 I believe in God the Father, Maker of the heav'n and earth, and in Jesus Christ, our Savior, God's own Son, of matchless worth; by the Holy Ghost conceived, virgin Mary bore God's Son, he in whom I have believed: God Almighty, Three in One. 2 Suffered under Pontius Pilate, crucified, enduring hell, laid within the grave so silent, as the prophets did foretell. But the stone-sealed tomb was emptied on the third day; he arose: into heaven made his entry, Mighty Conqueror of his foes. 3 At God's right hand he is seated, 'til his coming, as he said; final judgment will be meted to the living and the dead. I confess the Holy Spirit has been sent thro' Christ the Son to apply salvation's merit; God the Spirit, Three in One. 4 I believe the church of Jesus holy, catholic remains; we are one thro' all the ages, the communion of the saints. I believe sins are forgiven, that our bodies will be raised, life with God is never ended. Amen, let his name be praised!

Heav'nly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here; May they all, Thy Name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. 2. Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouch-safe a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms, and at Thy breast; Thro' life's desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heav'nly rest. 3. Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.
