Psalm 100

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 986 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations! bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone: He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame; What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker! to thy name? 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity, thy love, Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

"The blessed Trinity"

Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts, eternal King, By the heavens and earth adored; Angels and archangels sing, Chanting everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 2 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before the throne, Speeding thence at thy command, And, when thy commands are done, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 3 Cherubim and seraphim Vail their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the blessed Trinity. 4 Thee apostles, prophets thee, Thee the noble martyr band, Praise with solemn jubilee, Thee, the church in every land; Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 5 Hallelujah! Lord, to thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Godhead one, and Persons three; Join us with the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. Used With Tune: DIX

The Babe of Bethlehem

Author: William C. Dix Appears in 663 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: As with gladness men of old Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to thy manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy cradle rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide.

"The sacred fire"

Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Prayer is the breath of God in man Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the breath of God in man, Returning whence it came; Love is the sacred fire within, And prayer the rising flame. 2 It gives the burdened spirit case, And soothes the troubled breast; Yields comfort to the mourning soul, And to the weary rest. 3 When God inclines the heart to pray, He hath an ear to hear; To him there's music in a sigh, And beauty in a tear. 4 The humble suppliant cannot fail To have his wants supplied, Used With Tune: FARRANT

Who, O Lord, with Thee Abiding

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Opening of Services Lyrics: 1 Who, O Lord, with Thee abiding, In Thy house shall be Thy guest? Who, his feet to Zion turning, In Thy holy hill shall rest? He that ever walks uprightly, Does the right without a fear, When he speaks, he speaks not lightly, But with truth and love sincere. 2 He that slanders not his brother, Does no evil to a friend; To reproaches of another He refuses to attend. Wicked men win not his favor, But the good who fear the Lord; From his vow he will not waver, Tho' it bring him sad reward. 3 Freely to the needy lending, No excess he asks again; And the innocent befriending, He desires not praise of men. Doing this, and evil spurning, He shall nevermore be moved; This the man with Thee sojourning, This the man by Thee approved. Scripture: Psalm 15 Used With Tune: HELEN
