Lord Jesus Christ, Be Present Now
Author: C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Invocation Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
And let Thy Holy Spirit bow
All hearts in love and fear today
To hear the truth and keep Thy way.
2 Open our lips to sing Thy praise,
Our hearts in true devotion raise,
Our faith increase, our minds enlight
That we may know Thy name aright
3 Until we join the host that cry
"Holy art Thou, O Lord most High!"
And 'mid the light of that blest place
Shall gaze upon Thee face to face.
4 Glory to God, the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To Thee, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise throughout eternity!

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 605 hymnals Topics: Invocation Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours His own,
Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad
And praise surround the throne.

And Satan's empire fell;
Today the saints His triumphs spread
And all His wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to th'anointed King,
To David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
Salvation from the throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace,
Who comes in God His Father's Name
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heav'ns in which He reigns
Shall give Him nobler praise.

The dullness of our blinded sight.

With the abundance of your grace.
Keep far our foes; give peace at home;
Where you guide us, no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And you, of both, to be but one
That, as the ceaseless ages throng,
Your praise may be our endless song!

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco da Siena (d. 1434); Richard Frederick Littledale (1833-1890) Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Invocation of Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: John 13:31-35 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
