Invitation

Author: Emily Taylor Hymnal: BHPPD866 #1 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Come to the house of prayer Lyrics: Come to the house of prayer, O ye afflicted, come! The God of peace shall meet you there, He makes that house His home. Come to the house of praise, Ye who are happy now; In sweet accord your voices raise, In kindred homage bow. Ye aged, hither come, For ye have felt His love; Soon shall ye lift a holier song In fairer courts above. Ye young, before His throne, Come, bow; your voices raise; Let not your hearts His praise disown, Who gives the power to praise. Thou, whose benignant eye In mercy looks on all; Who seest the tear of misery, And hear’st the mourner’s call; Up to Thy dwelling-place Bear our frail spirits on, Till they outstrip time’s tardy pace, And heaven on earth be won.

Cheerful Worship

Author: Watts Hymnal: BHPPD866 #3 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Come, ye who love the Lord! Lyrics: Come, ye who love the Lord! And let your joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround His throne. The sorrows of the mind Be banished from this place! Religion never was designed To make our pleasures less. The sons of God have found That heaven begins below: Celestial fruits, on earthly ground, From faith and hope may grow. Then let our sorrows cease, And every tear be dry; We’re travelling through the paths of peace To fairer worlds on high. Languages: English

The Place of Prayer

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #12 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Here, in this place of prayer Lyrics: Here, in this place of prayer, Father! Thy face we seek: Grant us that blessed peace to share, Known to the pure and meek. Come then to holy prayer, Souls that seem lost in night; Leave to the Lord your heavy care, Who giveth life and light. Come with a trusting prayer, Though fears press down your souls; The Saviour’s promise, “I am there,” Each saddening fear controls. Here, in this place of prayer, Let hearts in union meet: Come, cast the load you cannot bear Low at the Saviour’s feet. Then from this house of prayer Shall mingling praise be given, And angels, ’mid the holy air, Shall bear the notes to heaven. Languages: English

“After This Manner Pray Ye.”

Thy kingdom come; Thy will On earth be done in love, As saints and seraphim fulfil Thy perfect law above. Our daily bread supply, While by Thy word we live; The guilt of our iniquity Forgive as we forgive. From dark temptation’s power Our feeble hearts defend; Deliver in the evil hour, And guide us to the end. Thine, then, forever be Glory and power divine; The sceptre, throne, and majesty Of heaven and earth are Thine. Languages: English

Christianity

Author: Moore Hymnal: BHPPD866 #170 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Behold the sun, how bright Lyrics: Behold the sun, how bright From yonder east he springs, As if the soul of life and light Were breathing from his wings. So bright the gospel broke Upon the souls of men; So fresh the dreaming world awoke In truth’s full radiance then. Before yon sun arose, Stars clustered through the sky; But, O, how dim, how pale, were those, To his one burning eye! So truth lent many a ray, To bless the Pagan’s night; But, Lord, how faint, how cold, were they, To Thy one glorious light! Languages: English

The Coming of Christ in Power

Author: H. Martineau Hymnal: BHPPD866 #173 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Lord Jesus, come! for here Lyrics: Lord Jesus, come! for here Our path through wilds is laid; We watch, as for the dayspring near, Amid the breaking shade. Lord Jesus, come! for hosts Meet on the battle-plain; Our holiest hopes seem vainest boasts, And tears are shed like rain. Lord Jesus, come! the slave Still bears his heavy chains; Their daily bread the hungry crave, While teem the fruitful plains. Hark! herald voices near Lead on thy happier day; Come, Lord, and our hosannas hear! We wait to strew thy way. Come, as in days of old, With words of grace and power; Gather us all within thy fold, And let us stray no more! Languages: English
