Ask, and ye shall receive
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #67 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Ask, and ye shall receive;
On this my hope I build:
I ask forgiveness, and believe
My prayer shall be fulfill'd.
Seek, and expect to find:
Wounded to death in soul,
I seek the Saviour of mankind;
His touch can make me whole.
Knock, and with patience wait,
Faith shall free entrance win:
I stand and knock at mercy's gate;
Lord Jesus! let me in.
How should I ask in vain?
Seek, and not find Thee, Lord?
Knock, and yet no admittance gain?
Is it not in Thy word?
Time, ruin, change, decay,
The lines can never blot,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away,
Thy Word, O God! shall not.

Ask, and ye shall receive
Assembled in Thy house of prayer
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #98 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
Assembled in Thy house of prayer,
On every mind instruction seal;
Preacher and people, Lord, prepare
To seek Thy face, Thy presence feel.
From earthen vessels we receive
The living streams of truth divine;
The spirit with the letter give,
And turn the water into wine.
Enter we now Thy gates with praise,
With reverence at Thine altar bend,
With gladness our thanksgivings raise,
With meekness to Thy Word attend.
102
So, when the gospel, in Thy name,
From human lips salutes our ear,
May our responding hearts exclaim,
"Speak to us, Lord; Thy servants hear."
Paul then may plant the precious grain,
For Thine will be the quickening power;
Apollos water, not in vain,
For Thou wilt give the genial shower.
The scatter'd seed thus sown in hope
Shall spring and spread with large increase,
And yield on earth a heavenly crop
Of love, joy, righteousness and peace.

Assembled in Thy house of prayer
At every motion of our breath
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #224 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
At every motion of our breath,
Life trembles on the brink of death,
A taper's flame that upward turns,
While downward to the dust it burns.
A moment usher'd us to birth,
Heirs to the commonwealth of earth;
Moment by moment years are past,
And one ere long will be our last.
'Twixt that, long fled, which gave us light,
And that which soon shall end in night,
There is a point no eye can see,
Yet on it hangs eternity.
This is that moment,--who can tell
Whether it leads to heaven or hell?
This is that moment,--as we choose,
The immortal soul we save or lose.
224
Time past and time to come are not;
Time present is our only lot;
O God! henceforth our hearts incline
To seek no other love than thine.

At every motion of our breath
Be known to us in breaking bread
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #207 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
Thy table in our heart.
There sup with us in love divine;
Thy body and Thy blood,
That living bread, that heavenly wine,
Be our immortal food.

Behold the Book, whose leaves display
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #24 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
Behold the Book, whose leaves display
Jesus, the Life, the Truth, the Way;
Read it with diligence, with prayer,
Search it, and you shall find Him there.
So let me read, digest, and learn,
That all its truths I may discern;
The entrance of Thy Word gives light,
Lord, grant me to receive my sight.

Behold the Book, whose leaves display
Behold yon bright array
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #299 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Behold yon bright array,
Before the sapphire throne;
There, young nor old, nor rich nor poor,
There, bond nor free, are known.
At once they strike their lyres,
At once break off,--and all,
With trembling joy, and silent love,
In adoration fall.
Whate'er their lot below,
As fellow-heirs of bliss,
In heaven their services are one:
Let earth be heaven in this.
As brethren, thus may we
Worship with one accord;
In stillness wait, in prayer bow down,
Stand up, and bless the Lord.
319
As pilgrims on their way,
Thousands these courts shall fill,
And travel on from strength to strength,
Abreast to Zion's hill.
May all those pilgrims meet,
When faith is changed to sight
Where the Lord God Himself shall be
The temple and the light:--
Where on the sea of glass,
The ransom'd nations sing,
And to the Lamb that once was slain
Eternal glory bring.

Behold yon bright array
Blessed be Thy name
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #194 (1854) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics:
Blessed be Thy name,
Jesus Christ!--the same
Yesterday, to-day, for ever,
What from Thee my soul shall sever,
While I hear Thy voice,
And in Thee rejoice?
Guide me with Thine eye;
Warn to fight or fly,
When the foe, a lion raging,
Or, with serpent guile assuaging,
Comes in wrath to tear,
Or by fraud ensnare.
Hold me with Thine hand,
For by faith I stand;
On Thy strength my sole reliance,
In Thy truth my whole affiance;
Then where'er I roam,
I am travelling home.
Lord, Thy word is light;
Led by it aright,
When a pilgrim, like my Fathers,
Life's last shadow round me gathers,
May its brightening ray
Shine to perfect day.
With my latest breath,
Overcoming death,
198
From the body disencumber'd
With thy Saints in glory number'd,
Jesus, may I be
Found in peace with Thee.
Scripture: Matthew 15:25 Languages: English
Blessed be Thy name
Body and soul to Thee I give
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #180 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Body and soul to Thee I give,
As a thank-offering free,
Living,--to Thee, my God, to live,
Dying,--to die to Thee.
183
Then shall my tongue confess
The virtue of Thy name,
My heart believe to righteousness,
My life Thy love proclaim.
Yea, death itself shall be
My passport of release,
And the grave's vaunted victory,
The sign and seal of peace,--
The end of mortal strife;
In Jesus I shall sleep,
Who, till I wake to endless life,
My soul will safely keep.
Sing--blessed are the dead,
Who from their labours rest,
Through Him who was their life, their head,
Of perfect bliss possest.

Body and soul to Thee I give
Bow every knee at Jesus' name
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #75 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Bow every knee at Jesus' name,
And every tongue confess;
Let the Redeem'd with joy proclaim
"The Lord our Righteousness."
To Him through all the rounds of time
Perpetual prayer be made;
O'er sea and land, from clime to clime,
Homage to Him be paid.
From young and old with every breath
Let prayer and praise arise;
Life be the "daily offering"--Death
"The evening sacrifice."
Let heaven and earth reply "Amen!"
And all their hosts adore,
The Lord of Angels and of men
For ever evermore.

Bow every knee at Jesus' name
Bright and joyful is the morn
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #17 (1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics:
Bright and joyful is the morn,
For to us a child is born;
From the highest realms of heaven
Unto us a Son is given,
On His shoulder He shall bear
Power and majesty, and wear
On His vesture and His thigh
Names most awful, names most high.
Wonderful in counsel, He,
The incarnate Deity,
Sire of ages ne'er to cease,
King of kings, and Prince of Peace.
18
Come and worship at His feet,
Yield to Christ the homage meet;
From His manger to His throne,
Homage due to God alone.
