Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
God Is Here
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us, as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 God of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe! Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

Blessed Jesus, at thy word
we are gathered all to hear thee;
let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear thee,
by thy teachings sweet and holy,
drawn from earth to love thee solely.
2. All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till thy spirit breaks our night
with the beams of truth unclouded.
Thou alone to God canst win us;
thou must work all good within us.
3. Glorious Lord, thyself impart!
Light of light, from God proceeding,
open thou our ears and heart;
help us by thy spirit's pleading;
hear the cry thy people raises;
hear, and bless our prayers and praises.

O God, My Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Discipleship; God's Gifts; God's Will; Hymns That Are Prayer; Elements of Worship Confession Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
true fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing:
give me a healthy frame,
and may I have within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
with ready heart and willing
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling.
Help me do what I should
in all that comes my way;
I know that you are good,
you bless those who obey.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when within my place
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
O keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems dark and cheerless.
Help me, as you have taught,
to love both great and small,
to speak the truth in love,
to live at peace with all. Scripture: Psalm 141:3 Used With Tune: DARMSTADT

How Pleasant
Author: Watts Appears in 357 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Worship Opening Hymns; Hymns for Worship Opening Hymns First Line: How pleasant, how divinely fair Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair,
O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are!
With long desire my spirit faints
To meet th' assemblies of the saints.
2 Blest are the souls that find a place
Within the temple of thy grace;
There they behold thy gentle rays,
And seek thy face and learn thy praise.
3 Blest are the men whose hearts are set
To find the way to Zion's gate;
God is their strength; and thro' the road
They lean upon their helper, God. Used With Tune: BURTON

Come, ye that fear the Lord
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that fear the Lord,
And love him while ye fear,
Come, and with heart and hand record
Your vow and covenant here.
2 Here to his altar brought,
Your holy vows renew,
To be in heart, and deed, and thought,
Faithful to him, and true.
3 And true and faithful he
To you will ever prove,
Though hills were swept into the sea,
And mountains should remove.
4 Then be his paths your choice,
The joy of young and old;
As sheep that hear their shepherd's voice,
And follow to the fold.
Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
