Speak, O Lord, Your Servant Listens
Author: Anna Sophia von Hessen-Darmstadt, 1638-83, ; George A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Ordination, Installation Lyrics: 1 Speak, O Lord, Your servant listens,
Let Your Word to me come near;
Newborn life and spirit give me,
Let each promise still my fear.
Death's dread pow'r, its inward strife,
Wars against Your Word of life;
Fill me, Lord, with love's strong fervor
That I cling to You forever!
2 Oh, what blessing to be near You
And to listen to Your voice;
Let me ever love and hear You,
Let Your Word be now my choice!
Many hardened sinners, Lord,
Flee in terror at Your Word;
But to all who feel sin's burden
You give words of peace and pardon.
3 Lord, Your words are waters living
When my thirsting spirit pleads.
Lord, Your words are bread life-giving;
On Your words my spirit feeds.
Lord, Your words will be my light
through death's cold and dreary night;
Yes, they are my sword prevailing
And my cup of joy unfailing!
4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me;
Let Your words in me take root.
May Your Spirit e'er be near me
That I bear abundant fruit.
May I daily sing Your praise,
From my heart glad anthems raise,
Till my highest praise is given
In the endless joy of heaven.

God Everlasting, at Your Word
Author: David Mowbray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Ordination and/or Installation Lyrics: 1 God everlasting, at your word
the hills in splendor rise;
they overshadow human life
whose glory swiftly dies.
2 Our days like dreams come to an end,
our story soon is told,
when strength is spent, and beauty fades,
and bodies have grown old.
3 Teach us, good Lord, to count our days,
to cherish every hour,
to seek your will, to do your work,
and trust your mighty power.
4 Lord, at your hand we have received
the cup of joy and pain;
pour out the fullness of your grace
and we shall sing again! Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Days in the Sanctuary
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Installation Psalms First Line: How lovely, Lord of Hosts, to me Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord of hosts, to me
The tabernacles of Thy grace;
O how I long, yea, faint to see
Thy hallowed courts, Thy dwelling-place;
For Thee my heart and spirit sign,
For Thee, O living God, I cry.
2 The sparrow has her place of rest;
The swallow thro' Thy kindly care,
Has found where she may build her nest
And brood her young in safety there;
Thy altars as my rest I sing,
O Lord of Hosts, my God, my King.
3 Blest they who in Thy house abide,
They still to Thee shall render praise;
Blest they who in Thy strength confide,
And in whose hearts are Zion's ways;
Tho' passing thro' the vale of tears,
Like springs of joy Thy grace appears.
4 Advancing still from strength to strength,
They onward go where saints have trod,
Till ev'ry one appears at length
In Zion's courts before his God;
Jehovah God of Hosts, give ear,
Our father's God, in mercy hear.
5 Upon us look, O God, our shield,
The face of Thy anointed see;
A thousand other days can yield
No gladness like one day with Thee;
Tho' only at Thy door I wait,
No tents of sin give joy so great.
6 Jehovah, God our Shield and Sun,
Will grace and glory surely give;
No good will He withhold from one
Who in His sight shall rightly live;
O Lord of Hosts, most blest is he
Who puts his steadfast trust in Thee.

How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Ordination and/or Installation Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest,
and so your temple calls us
with in its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I’d rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
the ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE
How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
We Turn To You
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Installation Services First Line: We turn to you, O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation,
giver of good and origin of life;
your love is at the heart of all creation,
your hurt is people's pain in war and death.
2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven
for crucifying Christ on earth again.
We know that we have never wholly striven
to share with all the promise of your reign.
3 Free every heart from haughty self-reliance,
our ways of thought inspire with simple grace;
break down among us barriers of defiance,
speak to the soul of all the human race.
4 On all who rise on earth for right relations,
we pray the light of love from hour to hour.
Grant wisdom to the leaders of the nations,
the gift of carefulness to those in power.
5 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others,
help us to give and not to count the cost.
Unite us all to live as sisters, brothers,
defeat our Babel with your Pentecost!
