Come, O Thou God of Grace
Author: William E. Evans Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou God of grace,
Dwell in this holy place,
E’en now descend!
This temple, reared to thee,
O may it ever be
Filled with thy majesty,
Till time shall end!
2 Be in each song of praise
Which here thy people raise
With hearts aflame!
Let every anthem rise
Like incense to the skies,
A joyful sacrifice
To thy blest Name!
3 Speak, O eternal Lord,
Out of thy living Word,
O give success!
Do thou the truth impart
Unto each waiting heart;
Source of all strength thou art,
Thy gospel bless!
4 To the great One in Three
Glory and praises be
In love now given!
Glad songs to thee we sing,
Glad hearts to thee we bring,
Till we our God and King
Shall praise in heaven!

O God, Beneath Your Guiding Hand
Author: Leonard Bacon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Stewardship Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath your guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And echoed o'er the wintry strand,
Their psalms and prayers in worship free.
2 You heard, well-pleased, the song, the prayer:
Your blessing came, and still its power
Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves,
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here your name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 8 Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

O Spirit of the Living God
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
In all the fullness of your grace,
Where'er the foot of man has trod,
Descend on our rebellious race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and blessing from above,
Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at your coming, light;
Confusion, order in your path;
Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
All the round earth her God to meet;
And breathe abroad like morning air,
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call him Lord.

O Spirit of the Living God
O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 501 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 O Word of God Incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky,
We praise you for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light is lifted
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chest so precious,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floats e'er like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shines out like a beacon
Above the darkening world.
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides to Christ who saves.
4 O make your Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Your true light, as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see you face to face.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23-25 Used With Tune: MUNICH

Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity. [Refrain]
3 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus
Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail. [Refrain]
4 Onward, then, you people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing. [Refrain]

Praise We Our Maker While We've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8 D Appears in 534 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Mission Lyrics: 1 Praise we our Maker while we've breath;
And when our voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ our nobler powers.
Our days of praise shall ne'er be past
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
2 The Lord gives vision to the blind;
The Lord supports the fainting mind;
He sends the laboring conscience peace.
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
3 Blest is the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God, who made the sky
And earth and seas, with all their train.
His truth forever stands secure;
He saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light.

The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night
Author: John Bowring Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 882 hymnals Topics: Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height,
See that glory-beaming star.
Watchman, doth its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night,
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See, it bursts o'er all the earth!
3 Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let your wanderings cease;
Hasten to your quiet home.
Traveler, lo, the Prince of Peace,
Lo, the Son of God, is come!

Before the Lord Jehovah's Throne
Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 985 hymnals Topics: Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord Jehovah's throne,
All nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and he destroy;
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We'll crowd his gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill his courts with sounding praise,
Shall fill his courts with sounding praise.
4 Wide as the world is his command,
Vast as eternity his love;
Firm as a rock his truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: PARK STREET
