O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 832 hymnals Topics: Opening of Services Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee, the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing Holy, holy, holy, To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee, our Lord victorious, The Spirit sent from heaven, And thus on thee, most glorious, A triple light was given. 3 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 4 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Used With Tune: LORELEI (SALUTAS)

To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King Let earth, let heaven, Hosanna sing! Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 2 "Hosanna, Lord!" Thine angels cry; "Hosanna, Lord!" Thy saints reply; Above, beneath us, and around, The dead and living swell the sound: "Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" 3 O Saviour, with protecting care, Return to this Thy house of prayer; Assembled in Thy sacred name, Now we Thy parting promise claim: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 4 But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast, Eternal, bid Thy Spirit rest, And make our secret soul to be A temple pure, and worthy Thee: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! Amen. Used With Tune: HOSANNA

To Your Temple I Draw Near

Here are sacrament and Word; Here believers meet their Lord. 2 I through Christ am reconciled; I through Christ become your child. Abba, Father, give me grace In your courts to seek your face. 3 While your glorious praise is sung, Touch my lips, unloose my tongue, That my joyful soul may bless Christ the Lord, my righteousness. 4 While the prayers of saints ascend, God of love, to mine attend. Hear me, for your Spirit pleads; Hear, for Jesus intercedes. 5 While I listen to your law, Fill my soul with holy awe Till your gospel brings to me Life and immortality. 6 While your ministers proclaim Peace and pardon in your name, Through their voice, by faith, may I Hear you speaking from the sky. 7 From your house, when I return, May my heart within me burn, And at evening let me say, "I have walked with God today."

All People That on Earth Do Dwell

Author: William Kethe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 756 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service Hymns and Songs Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell, Come ye before Him and rejoice. 2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His flock He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take. 3 O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do. 4 For why? The Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. 5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom heaven and earth adore, From earth and from the angel host Be praise and glory evermore. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1565
