At a choice of deacons
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Fair Sion's King, we suppliant bow Lyrics: 1 Fair Sion's King, we suppliant bow,
And hail the grace thy church enjoys;
Her holiest deacons are thy own,
With all the gifts thy love employs.
2 Up to thy throne, we lift our eyes
For blessings to attend our choice,
Of such whose generous, prudent zeal
Shall make thy favor'd ways rejoice.
3 Happy in Jesus their own Lord,
May this his sacred table spread,
The table of their pastor fill,
And fill the holy poor with bread!
4 [When pastor, saints, and poor they serve,
May their own hearts with grace be crown'd!
While patience, sympathy, and joy
Adorn, and thro' their lives abound.]
5 By purest love to Christ, and truth,
O may they win a good degree
Of boldness in the christian faith,
And meet the smile of thine and thee!
6 And when the work to them assign'd—
The work of love is fully done,
Call them from serving tables here,
To sit around thy glorious throne. Topics: The Church; Church Choosing deacons; At a choice of Deacons Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:8-13

At a Marriage-Solemnity
Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: It is not good, JEHOVAH said Lyrics: 1 It is not good, JEHOVAH said,
For Man new form'd to be alone;
Then of his Rib an Help-meet made,
And Man and Wife pronounc'd but one.
2 From near his Heart this Rib he took,
To shew the Favour should be priz'd:
Not from his Head to overlook;
Nor from his Foot to be dispis'd.
3 Beneath his Arm, to signify
Wives should Authority disclaim,
And that Protection and Supply
Are from the Husbands due to them.
4 Bless, Lord, this newly-married Pair,
And make the Match a Blessing prove;
Their Int'rest one, their Joys, their Care,
Made happy in each other's Love.
5 May each to each an Help-meet be,
And bend their Necks to Jesu's Yoke:
Banded to seek Felicity
With Christ's despised little Flock.
6 Should Olive Plants, around their Board,
To them the Gift of Heav'n be,
Help them to give them back, dear Lord;
Help them to bring them up for thee.
7 Jesus we ask thy Presence here;
O may thy Face upon us shine:
Thy Goodness more our Hearts can chear
Than costliest Food or richest Wine.

At a Marriage-Solemnity
At a minister's leaving his people—Paul's farewell charge
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals First Line: When Paul was parted from his friends Lyrics: 1 When Paul was parted from his friends,
It was a weeping day;
But Jesus made them all amends,
And wip'd their tears away.
2 In heaven they met again with joy
(secure no more to part)
Where praises every tongue employ,
And pleasure fills each heart.
3 Thus all the preachers of his grace
Their children soon shall meet;
Together see their Savior's face,
And worship at his feet.
4 But they who heard the word in vain,
Tho' oft and plainly warn'd;
Will tremble when they meet again,
The ministers they scorn'd.
5 On your own heads you blood will fall
If any perish here;
The preachers who have told you all
Shall stand approv'd and clear.
6 Yet, Lord to save themselves alone,
Is not their utmost view;
O! hear their prayer, thy message own,
And save their hearers too.

At All Times Praise the Lord
Author: Johann S. Howson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. At all times praise the Lord;
His promises are sure;
What if thou doubt? His steadfast Word
Unchanging shall endure.
Praise Him when skies are bright,
And gladness fills thy days;
Heav’n shames thee with its glorious light,
And calls thee to His praise.
2. Praise Him when clouds are dark;
True faith waits not to prove;
Tho’ hope no bright’ning gleam may mark,
His meaning still is love.
Praise Him when drear and lone
The shadows ’round thee fall,
No eye upon Thy sins but One—
Fear not, He pardons all.
3. Praise Him when home is sweet,
As tho’ we ne’er should part;
But pray—while kindred spirits meet—
Pray for a thoughtful heart.
Praise Him when far away
On mountain or on sea;
Each place is home to them who pray;
The Father guardeth thee.
4. Praise Him when joyful songs
The saints on earth unite,
In sacred chorus, with the throngs
Of angels in the height.
At all times praise the Lord;
His promises are sure;
Fear not, doubt not; His steadfast Word
Unchanging shall endure. Used With Tune: PASTOR BONUS
At All Times Praise the Lord
