Sincerity

Author: Jos. Dacre Carlyle Appears in 331 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service First Line: Lord! when we bend before thy throne Lyrics: 1 Lord! when we bend before thy throne, And our confessions pour, Oh, may we feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2 Our contrite spirits pitying see; True penitence impart: And let a healing ray from thee Beam hope on every heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; Nor let a thought our bosom share, Which is not wholly thine. 4 Let faith each meek petition fill, And waft it to the skies; And teach our heart 'tis goodness still That grants it or denies. Scripture: Ezekiel 14:3 Used With Tune: BEMERTON

"Let thy servants hear"

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service First Line: In thy name, O Lord! assembling Lyrics: 1 In thy name, O Lord! assembling, We, thy people, now draw near; Teach us to rejoice with trembling; Speak, and let thy servants hear,-- Hear with meekness,-- Hear thy word with godly fear. 2 While our days on earth are lengthened, May we give them, Lord! to thee; Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened, May we run, nor weary be, Till thy glory Without clouds in heaven see. 3 There, in worship purer, sweeter, Thee thy people shall adore; Tasting of enjoyment greater Than they could conceive before; Full enjoyment, Full, unmixed, and evermore.

Psalm 122

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 304 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service First Line: How did my heart rejoice to hear Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear My friends devoutly say, "In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day." 2 I love her gates, I love the road; The Church, adorned with grace, Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face. 3 Up to her courts, with joys unknown, The holy tribes repair; The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there. 4 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest; With holy gifts and heavenly grace, Be her attendants blest. 5 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; There my best friends, my kindred dwell, There God, my Saviour reigns.

Author: James Merrick Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service First Line: To thy pastures fair and large Lyrics: 1 To thy pastures fair and large, Heavenly Shepherd, lead thy charge, And my couch, with tenderest care, 'Mid the springing grass prepare. 2 When I faint with summer's heat, Thou shalt guide my weary feet To the streams that, still and slow, Through the verdant meadows flow. 3 Safe the dreary vale I tread, By the shades of death o'erspread, With thy rod and staff supplied, This my guard--and that my guide. 4 Constant to my latest end, Thou my footsteps shalt attend; And shalt bid thy hallowed dome Yield me an eternal home.
