Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolck Hymnal: LH1941 #1 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there, Where my soul in joyful duty Waits for Him who answers prayer. Oh, how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace! 2 Lord, my God, I come before Thee, Come Thou also unto me; Where we find Thee and adore Thee, There a heav'n on earth must be. To my heart, oh, 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 still o'er me shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in my 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 life the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes. Amen. Topics: Adoration Opening of Service Scripture: Psalm 100:4 Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: LH1941 #9 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of cure and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee the high and lowly Before th'eternal throne Sing "Holy, holy, holy," To the great Three in One. 2 On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n, And thus, on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3. Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Nebo's mountain, We view our Promised Land; A day of sweet reflection, A day of holy love, A day of resurrection From earth to things above. 4 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Amen. Topics: Adoration Lord's Day Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

In Jesus' name I fearless seek Thy face, And take from Thee, my Father, grace for grace. Amen.

I Will Sing My Maker's Praises

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: LH1941 #25 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 I will sing my Maker's praises And in Him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces Of His tender love to me. Nothing else than love could move Him With such sweet and tender care Evermore to raise and bear All who try to serve and love Him. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 2 Yea, so dear did He esteem me That His Son He loved so well He hath given to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell. O Thou Spring of boundless blessing, How could e'er my feeble mind Of Thy depth the bottom find Tho' my efforts were unceasing? All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 3 All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides, Nor of that is He unheedful Which my body needs besides. When my strength cannot avail me, When my powers can do no more, Doth my God His strength outpour; In my need He doth not fail me. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 4 When I sleep, He still is near me, O'er me rests His guardian eye; And new gifts and blessings cheer me When the morning streaks the sky. Were it not for God's protection, Had His countenance not been Here my Guide, I had not seen E'er the end of my affliction. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 5 As a father never turneth Wholly from a wayward child, For the prodigal still yearneth, Longing to be reconciled, So my many sins and errors Find a tender, pardoning God, Chastening frailty with His rod, Not, in vengeance, with His terrors. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 6 Since, then, neither change nor coldness In my Father's love can be, Lo! I lift my hands with boldness, As Thy child I come to Thee. Grant me grace, O God, I pray Thee, That I may with all my might, All my lifetime, day and night, Love and trust Thee and obey Thee And, when this brief life is o'er, Praise and love Thee evermore.

When in distress to Him I cried, He to my rescue came. 4 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliv'rance He affords to all Who on His succor trust. 5 Oh, make but trial of His love! Experience will decide How blest are they, and only they, Who in His truth confide. 6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then Have nothing else to fear: Make you His service your delight, He'll make your wants His care.

Oh, that I had a Thousand Voices

Author: Johann Mentzer Hymnal: LH1941 #30 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I had a thousand voices To praise my God with thousand tongues! My heart, which in the Lord rejoices, Would then proclaim in grateful songs To all, wherever I might be, What great things God hath done for me. 2 O all ye pow'rs that He implanted, Arise, and silence keep no more; Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore. O soul and body, be ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet! 3 Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow grasses, bright and slender; Ye flow'rs, so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, With me now make His glory known. 4 All creatures that have breath and motion, That throng the earth, the sea, the sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high, My utmost pow'rs can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 5 Lord, I will tell, while I am living, Thy goodness forth with every breath And greet each morning with thanksgiving Until my heart is still in death; Yea, when at last my lips grow cold, Thy praise shall in my sighs be told. 6 O Father, deign thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud hallelujahs to my King. Amen. Topics: Adoration Worship and Praise Scripture: Psalm 126:3 Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND

When All Thy Mercies, O My God

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: LH1941 #31 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the last a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Thro' ev'ry period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue, And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 4 When nature fails and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 5 Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise; But, oh! eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise.

Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: LH1941 #32 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven, Thro' Jesus’ precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven, Oh, praise our pard'ning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sev'nfold treasures Enrich and sanctify. 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side; But Jesus sought and found us And washed our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye. 3 Dear Master, Thine the glory Of each recovered soul. Ah! who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days. 4 Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore.

My Soul, Now Bless thy Maker

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Gramann Hymnal: LH1941 #34 (1941) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 First Line: My soul, now bless thy Maker! Lyrics: 1 My soul, now bless thy Maker! Let all within me bless His name Who maketh thee full partaker Of mercies more than thou dar'st claim. Forget Him not whose meekness Still bears with all thy sin, Who healeth all thy weakness, Renews thy life within; Whose grace and care are endless And saved thee thro' the past; Who leaves no suff'rer friendless, But rights the wronged at last. 2 He shows to man His treasure Of justice, truth, and righteousness, His love beyond all measure, His yearning pity o'er distress, Nor treats us as we merit, But lays His anger by. The humble, contrite spirit Finds His compassion nigh; And high as heav'n above us, As dawn from close of day, So far, since He doth love us, He puts our sins away. 3 For as a tender father Hath pity on his children here, He in His arms will gather All who are His in childlike fear. He knows how frail our powers Who but from dust are made; We flourish like the flowers, And even so we fade; The wind but o'er them passes, And all their bloom is o'er, We wither like the grasses, Our place knows us no more. 4 God's grace alone endureth, And children's children yet shall prove How He with strength assureth The hearts of all that seek His love. In heav'n is fixed His dwelling, His rule is over all; Angels, in might excelling, Bright hosts, before Him fall. Praise Him who ever reigneth, All you who hear His Word, Nor our poor hymns disdaineth-- My soul, O bless the Lord! Amen.

Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LH1941 #35 (1941) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n with alleluias rang, When creation was begun, When God spake and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. 3 Heav'n and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day. God will make new heav'ns and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Lord, 'Tis Not that I did Choose Thee

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: LH1941 #37 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis not that I did choose Thee; That, I know, could never be; For this heart would still refuse Thee Had Thy grace not chosen me. Thou hast from the sin that stained me Washed and cleansed and set me free And unto this end ordained me, That I ever live to Thee. 2 'Twas Thy grace in Christ that called me, Taught my darkened heart and mind; Else the world had yet enthralled me, To Thy heav'nly glories blind. Now my heart owns none above Thee; For Thy grace alone I thirst, Knowing well that, if I love Thee, Thou, O Lord, didst love me first. 3 Praise the God of all creation; Praise the Father's boundless love. Praise the Lamb, our Expiation, Priest and King enthroned above. Praise the Spirit of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live. Undivided adoration To the great Jehovah give. Amen.
