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.

A-men. 2 O may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts And blessèd peace to cheer us; And keep us in his grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. 3 All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given, The Son, and him who reigns With them in highest heaven; The one eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #448 (1917) Topics: House of God First Line: When the weary, seeking rest Lyrics: 1 When the weary, seeking rest, To Thy goodness flee; When the heavy-laden cast All their load on Thee; When the troubled, seeking peace, On Thy name shall call; When the sinner seeking life, At Thy feet shall fall. 2 When the worldling, sick at heart, Lifts his soul above; When the prodigal looks back To his Father's love; When the proud man from his pride Stoops to seek Thy face; When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace. 3 When the stranger asks a home, All his toils to end; When the hungry craveth food, And the poor a friend; When the sailor on the wave Bows the fervent knee; When the soldier on the field Lifts his heart to Thee. 4 When the man of toil and care, In the city crowd; When the shepherd on the moor, Names the name of God; When the learned and the high, Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent, Name the blessed name. 5 When the child, with grave, fresh lip, Youth, or maiden fair; When the aged, weak and grey, Seek Thy face in prayer; When the widow weeps to Thee, Sad and lone and low; When the orphan brings to Thee All his orphan woe.

Oh, bow thine ear, Eternal One!

Author: Pierpont Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #569 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The House of God Lyrics: 1 Oh, bow thine ear, Eternal One! On thee our heart adoring calls; To thee the followers of thy Son Have raised, and now devote these walls. 2 Here let thy holy days be kept; And be this place to worship given, Like that bright spot where Jacob slept, The house of God, the gate of heaven. 3 Here may thine honor dwell; and here, As incense, let thy children's prayer, From contrite hearts and lips sincere, Rise on the still and holy air. 4 Here by thy praise devoutly sung; Here let thy truth beam forth to save, As when, of old, thy Spirit hung, On wings of light, o'er Jordan's wave. 5 And when the lips, that with thy name Are vocal now, to dust shall turn, On others may devotion's flame Be kindled here, and purely burn!
