Author: Samuel Johnson Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: Close of Service First Line: Father! in thy mysterious presence kneeling Lyrics: 1 Father! in thy mysterious presence kneeling, Fain would our souls feel all thy kindling love; For we are weak, and need some deep revealing Of trust, and strength, and calmness from above. 2 Lord! we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow, And thou hast made each step an onward one; And we will ever trust each unknown morrow; Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done. 3 In the heart's depths, a peace serene and holy Abides; and, when pain seems to have her will, Or we despair, oh! may that peace rise slowly, Stronger than agony, and we be still. 4 Now, Father! now in thy dear presence kneeling, Our spirits yearn to feel thy kindling love; Now make us strong; we need thy deep revealing Of trust, and strength, and calmness from above.

The head that once was crowned with thorns

A-men. 3 Lead on, O King eternal: We follow, not with fears, For gladness breaks like morning Where'er thy face appears: Thy Cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might.

What various stores of good, Diffused from our Redeemer's hand, And purchased with his blood. 4 Jesus, our living Head, We bless thy faithful care; Our Advocate before the throne, And our Forerunner there. 5 Here fix, my roving heart! Here wait, my warmest love! Till the communion be complete, In nobler scenes above. Used With Tune: SHIRLAND

Who, though filling all the skies, Yet dost make this house Thy dwelling, And to us dost here dispense Thy pure word and sacraments. 3 Hitherto upon this house Hath salvation surely rested. Here our God hath been with us, And Himself hath manifested. Here His Spirit He hath given To reveal the way to heaven. 4 O how lovely, meet and right In His temple to adore Him!

Keep Thy Church on earth secure While the earth itself endure. Used With Tune: [O how holy is this place]
