Jesus, we look to Thee

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ; Presence, of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we look to Thee, Thy promised presence claim! Thou in the midst of us shalt be, Assembled in Thy name: Thy name salvation is, Which here we come to prove; Thy name is life, and health, and peace, And everlasting love. 2 Not in the name of pride Or selfishness we meet; From nature's paths we turn aside, And worldly thoughts forget. We meet, the grace to take Which Thou hast freely given; We meet on earth for Thy dear sake, That we may meet in heaven. 3 Present we know Thou art, But O Thyself reveal! Now, Lord, let every bounding heart The mighty comfort feel, O may Thy quickening voice The death of sin remove; And bid our inmost souls rejoice In hope of perfect love!

The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Christ Presence of Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows: O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now: Where Thou art present darkness cannot be; Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end; Onward to darkness and to death we tend; O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide, Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3 Thou who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succors fail; When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice: "Fear not, for it is I." 4 The weary world is mould'ring to decay, Its glories wane, its pageants fade away; In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall, May we arise, awakened by Thy call, With Thee, O Lord, forever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide! Amen. Used With Tune: CONWAY

Our wand'ring Feet, our Favours bring To the fair Chambers of the King. [4 Wonder and Pleasure tunes our Voice, To speak thy Praises and our Joys; Our Mem'ry keeps this Love of thine Beyond the Taste of richest Wine.] 5 Though in ourselves deform'd we are, And black as Kedar Tents appear, Yet when we put thy Beauties on, Fair as the Courts of Solomon. [6 While at his Table sits the King, He loves to see us smile and sing: Our Graces are our best Perfume, And breathe like Spikenard round the Room.] 7 As Myrrh new bleeding from the Tree, Such is a dying Christ to me; And while he makes my Soul his Guest, My Bosom, Lord, shall be thy Rest. [8 No Beams of Cedar, or of Fir, Can with thy Courts on Earth compare; And here we wait until thy Love Raise us to nobler Seats above.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:2-5

Lord, what a Heav'n of saving Grace

Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Presence of Christ in Worship Lyrics: 7 Lord, what a Heav'n of saving Grace Shines through the beauties of thy Face, And lights our Passions to a Flame!

When I can feel thy Glories shine, I tread the World beneath my Feet, And all that Earth calls Good or Great. 9 While such a Scene of sacred Joys Our raptur'd Eyes and Souls employs; Here we could sit, and gaze away, A long, an everlasting Day. 10 Well, we shall quickly pass the Night, To the fair Coasts of perfect Light; Then shall our joyful Senses rove O'er the dear Object of our Love. [11 There shall we drink full Draughts of bliss, And pluck new Life from heav'nly Trees: Yet now and then, dear Lord, bestow A drop of Heav'n on Worms below. 12 Send Comforts down from thy Right Hand, While we pass through this barren Land, And in thy Temple let us see A Glimpse of Love, a Glimpse of Thee.]
