Thy presence, gracious God, afford
Author: John Fawcett Appears in 173 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, gracious God, afford;
Prepare us to receive thy word;
Now let thy voice engage our ear,
And faith be mixed with what we hear.
2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove,
And fix our hearts on things above;
With food divine may we be fed,
And satisfied with living bread.
3 To each thy sacred word apply
With sovereign power and energy,
And may we in thy faith and fear
Reduce to practice what we hear.
4 Father, in us thy Son reveal;
Teach us to know and do thy will:
Thy saving power and love display,
And guide us to the realms of day. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Used With Tune: BURTON
Thy presence, gracious God, afford
Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 181 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray
In this thy house, on this thy day;
Accept, as grateful sacrifice,
The songs which from thy temple rise.
2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our laboring souls aspire
With ardent hope and strong desire.
3 No more fatigue, no more distress,
No sin nor death can reach that place;
No tears shall mingle with the songs
That warble from immortal tongues.
4 No rude alarm of raging foes,
No cares to break the long repose,
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.
5 O long-expected day, begin!
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin;
Fain would I leave this weary road,
And go to meet my blessed Lord. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: BURTON

Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest
Author: T. R. Williamson Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest
We lift to thee our earnest praise,
Obedient to the high behest
Which thou didst give to guide our ways.
2 We thank thee for the holy light
That from thy law shines full and clear,
Directing our weak steps aright
Through earth's low path of doubt and fear.
3 For Jesus, too, whom thou didst send
To teach the way of grace and truth,
We bow before thy throne, and blend
The thanks of age, the love of youth.
4 O, write thy word on every heart!
In us let thy pure Spirit live,
That his rich presence may impart
Such peace as thou alone canst give. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: BURTON

This day the Lord has called his own

And seek his face with fervent prayer.
2 Lord, in thy love we would rejoice,
Which bids the burdened soul be free;
And with united heart and voice,
Devote these sacred hours to thee.
3 Now let the world's delusive things
No more our groveling thoughts employ,
But faith be taught to stretch her wings
In search of heaven's unfading joy.
4 O, let these earthly Sabbaths, Lord,
Be to our lasting welfare blessed!
The purest comfort here afford,
And fit us for eternal rest. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: BURTON
