God Is in His Holy Temple
Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is in His holy temple:
Earthly thoughts, be silent now,
While in reverence we assemble,
And before His Presence bow.
2 He is with us now and ever,
When we call upon His name
Aiding every good endeavor
Guiding every upward aim.
3 God is in His holy temple;
In the pure and holy mind,
In the reverent heart and simple,
In the soul from sense refined.
4 Then let every low emotion
Banished far and silent be,
And our souls in pure devotion,
Lord, be temples worthy Thee!
Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Scripture: Habakkuk 2:20 Used With Tune: STUTTGART Text Sources: "Hymns of the Spirit," 1864

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,241 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

Hither by Thy help, I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.

For your Prophet, Priest and King.

Learn His name and taste His joy,

Of our great Redeemer’s birth;
Spread the brightness of His glory,
Till it cover all the earth.

Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 348-c. 413; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city -
Bethlehem alone excels:
from it came the Lord from heaven,
came to rule his Israel.

was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing
seen in human form on earth.

make their offerings rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion,
gold and frankincense and myrrh:
4 sacred gifts of mystic meaning -
frankincense to God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaiming,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5 Jesus, whom the gentiles worshipped
at your glad epiphany,
now to you with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be. Topics: Epiphany; Jesus Christ Incarnation Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: STUTTGART
