Open Now Thy Gates Of Beauty

Author: Catherine Winkworth; B. Schmolk Hymnal: ALH1930 #1 (1930) 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 on Him who answers prayer. O how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light and grace! 2 Lord, my God, I come before Thee, Come Thou also down to me. Where I find Thee and adore Thee, There a heav'n on earth must be. With Thy grace O enter Thou, Make my heart Thy temple now. 3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, Thy blessing granted, Precious sheaves bring forth alone. Grant that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep that gift divine; When temptations come and thicken, Make Thy Word forever shine As my guiding star thro' life, As my comfort in the strife. 5 Speak, O Lord, 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: Opening of Worship Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER

For the day to God is holy; Come, Thou glorious Majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Nothing else my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

O Day Of Rest And Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: ALH1930 #8 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care 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 triple light was giv'n. 3 Today on weary nations The heav'nly 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. 4 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.

Sing those angel voices; In His glory each rejoices. Lend Thine ear, Lord, to hear: We are also singing And our tributes bringing. 3 O Thou Light eternal, All things penetrating, For Thy rays my soul is waiting. As the tender flowers, Willingly unfolding, To the sun their faces holding: Even so Would I do, Light for Thee obtaining And in verdure gaining. 4 Come, celestial Being, Make my heart Thy dwelling, Ev'ry carnal thought dispelling. Make Thy Holy Spirit Sanctify me truly, Teaching me to love Thee duly. Where I go Here below, Let me bow before Thee And in truth adore Thee.
