Blessed Jesus, At Thy Word

Author: H. Brueckner; T. Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy word We are gathered now to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee, By Thy teachings sweet and holy Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded Till the Spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded. Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious God, Thyself impart! Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading; Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Give us what our hearts need most, Be Thy Word our consolation! For Thy blessings we implore Thee Till in heaven we adore Thee. Topics: Opening of Worship Used With Tune: NUREMBERG

Rock of ages! cleft for me

Appears in 3,037 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages! cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy side, a healing flood. Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath, and make me pure. 2 Should my tears for ever flow, Should my zeal no language know, This for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and thou alone; In my hand no price I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eye-lids close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne,-- Rock of ages! cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee!

Hymn 6--The Accepted Offering

Appears in 79 hymnals First Line: Lord, what off'ring shall we bring Lyrics: 1 Lord, what off'ring shall we bring, At thine altars when we bow? Hearts, the pure unsullied spring, Whence the kind affections flow; 2 Soft compassion's feeling soul, By the melting eye expressed; Sympathy, at whose control Sorrow leaves the wounded breast; 3 Willing hands to lead the blind, Bind the wounded, feed the poor; Love, embracing all our kind; Charity, with liberal store:-- 4 Teach us, O thou heavenly King, Thus to show our grateful mind, Thus th' accepted offering bring, Love to thee and all mankind.

Backsliding confessed

Appears in 116 hymnals First Line: Once I thought my mountain strong Lyrics: 1 Once I thought my mountain strong, Firmly fixed no more to move; Then my Saviour was my song, Then my soul was filled with love: Those were happy, golden days, Sweetly spent in prayer and praise. 2 Little then myself I knew, Little thought of Satan's power; Now I feel my sins anew; Now I feel the stormy hour! Sin has put my joys to flight; Sin has turned my day to night. 3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul, Bid my dying hopes revive; Make my wounded spirit whole, Far away the tempter drive; Speak the word and set me free, Let me live alone to thee.

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Sing, O Heavens! O Earth, rejoice! Lyrics: 1 Sing, O Heavens! O Earth, rejoice! Angel harp, and human voice, Round Him, as He rises, raise Your ascending Savior’s praise. 2 Bruisèd is the serpent’s head, Hell is vanquished, Death is dead; And to Christ, gone up on high, Captive is captivity. 3 All His work and warfare done, He into His Heaven is gone, And, beside His Father’s throne, Now is pleading for His own. 4 Asking gifts for sinful men, That He may come down again, And, the fallen to restore, In them dwell forevermore. 5 Sing, O Heavens! O Earth, rejoice! Angel harp, and human voice, Round Him, as He rises, raise Your ascending Savior’s praise. Used With Tune: NUREMBERG Text Sources: Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863

For Thy mercy and Thy grace

Author: Henry Downton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace Constant through another year, Hear our song of thankfulness; Jesus, our Redeemer, hear. 2 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength, be Thou our stay; In the pathless wilderness Be our true and living way. 3 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread, With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying bed. 4 Keep us faithful, keep us pure, Keep us evermore Thine own; Help Thy servants to endure, Fit us for Thy promised crown. 5 So within Thy palace gate We shall praise, on golden strings, Thee the only Potentate, Lord of lords, and King of kings. Amen. Topics: God Mercies of; New Year Used With Tune: NUREMBURG
