How pleasant, how divinely fair
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #3 (1886) 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 thy saints.
2 I long to rest in thine abode
My panting heart cries out for God;
My God, my King, why should I be
So far from all my joys and thee?
3 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.
4 Blest are the men whose hearts are set
To find a way to Zion's gate:
God is their strength; and through the road
They lean upon their helper, God.
5 Cheerful they walk, with growing strength,
Till all shall meet in heaven at length;
Till all before thy face appear,
And join in nobler worship there. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: BURTON

And favor that shall never cease.

His path of light we long to tread;
May here his holy word be taught,
And here its purest influence shed.

Our sins and errors be forgiven;
And we, from day to day, be found
Children of God and heirs of heaven. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: BURTON

How sweet to leave the world awhile

And seek the presence of our Lord!
Dear Saviour, on thy people smile,
And come according to thy word.

That we may here converse with thee:
Dear Lord, behold us at thy feet!
Let this the gate of heaven be.

That we by faith may see thy face;
O speak, that we thy voice may hear!
And let thy presence fill this place. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: BURTON
How sweet to leave the world awhile
Thy presence, gracious God, afford

Prepare us to receive thy word;
Now let thy voice engage our ear,

And fix our hearts on things above;
With food divine may we be fed,
And satisfied with living bread.

With sovereign power and energy,
And may we in thy faith and fear
Reduce to practice what we hear.

And guide us to the realms of day. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: BURTON

Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #223 (1886) 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 Tune Title: BURTON

Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest
Author: T. R. Williamson Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #224 (1886) 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 Tune Title: BURTON
Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest
This day the Lord has called his own
Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #225 (1886) Lyrics: 1 This day the Lord has called his own;
O, let us, then, his praise declare!
Fix our desires on him alone,
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 Tune Title: BURTON

For they are days of holy rest;
And thou hast passed thy changeless word,
That they shall be forever blest.
2 I love thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord,
That congregate thy people here,
To join their hearts in sweet accord,
And fit them for a higher sphere. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Tune Title: BURTON
