Father, again in Jesus' Name we Meet

Author: Lucy E. G. Whitmore Hymnal: CCHS1916 #1 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet: Again to Thee our feeble voices raise To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise. 2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care, And all Thy work from day to day declare; Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now, encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in Whom all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in.

Love Divine, all Love Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CCHS1916 #2 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heav'n to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown: Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

My Heart its Incense Burning

Author: H. Mills Hymnal: CCHS1916 #3 (1918) Lyrics: 1 My heart its incense burning, I'll offer thanks and praise, Now, with return of morning, And through all future days; I'll praise Thee on Thy throne, Great Source of ev'ry blessing, My song to Thee addressing Through Christ, Thy only Son. 2 Thy mercy claims my praises! This kept me through the night; And now from sleep it raises, To greet the dawning light. This, too, it is that hath My many sins forgiven, Which, in the face of heaven, So oft provoked Thy wrath. 3 In mercy still direct me Throughout the coming day: From Satan's wiles protect me, From sin, and from dismay: Defend from fire and storm, From want and ev'ry weakness, From sorrows and from sickness, From sudden death's alarm. 4 Let angels keep their stations, Nor cease their guard of me, Averting all temptations Which draw my soul from Thee! Thy shield hold Thou above! Then nothing shall distress me, To duty I'll address me, Rejoicing in Thy love. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: JEG VIL DIN PRIS

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CCHS1916 #6 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee, the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing Holy, Holy, Holy! To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee, our Lord, victorious, The Spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee, most glorious, A triple light was given. 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain, In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4 To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises; To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

O Bread of Life from Heaven

Author: Philip Schaff Hymnal: CCHS1916 #7 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O Bread of life from heaven, To weary pilgrims given, O Manna from above: The souls that hunger feed Thou, The hearts that seek Thee lead Thou, With Thy most sweet and tender love. 2 O Fount of grace redeeming, O River ever streaming From Jesus' holy side: Come Thou, Thyself bestowing On thirsting souls, and flowing Till all their wants are satisfied. 3 Jesus, this feast receiving, Thy word of truth believing, We Thee unseen adore: Grant, when our race is ended, That we, to heaven ascended, May see Thy glory ever more.

Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word

Author: Catherine Winkworth; T. Clausnitzer Hymnal: CCHS1916 #8 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy word We are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee; By Thy teachings sweet and holy, Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till Thy spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded. Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart! Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading; Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear, and bless our pray'rs and praises.

Lord, We Come before Thee Now

Author: William Hammond Hymnal: CCHS1916 #9 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Lord, we come before Thee now, At Thy feet we humbly bow; O do not our suit disdain, Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain? 2 Lord, on Thee our souls depend; In compassion, now descend, Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise. 3 In Thine own appointed way, Now we seek Thee, here we stay; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing Thou bestow. 4 Send some message from Thy Word, That may joy and peace afford; Let Thy Spirit now impart Full salvation to each heart. 5 Comfort those who weep and mourn, Let the time of joy return: Those that are cast down lift up, Strong in faith, in love, and hope. 6 Grant that those who seek may find Thee a God sincere and kind: Heal the sick, the captive free, Let us all rejoice in Thee.

Dayspring of Eternity

Author: J. R. Hopkins; Chr. K. Von Rosenroth Hymnal: CCHS1916 #10 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Dayspring of eternity, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night. 2 Let Thy grace, like morning dew, Fall on hearts in Thee confiding; Thy sweet comfort, ever new, Fill our souls with strength abiding, And Thy quick'ning eyes behold Thy dear fold. 3 Give the flame of love, to burn Till the bands of sin it breaketh, Till, at each new day's return, Purer light my soul awaketh: O ere twilight come, let me Rise to Thee. 4 Thou who hast gone up on high, Grant that, when Thy trumpet soundeth, When with glory, in the sky, Thee Thy cloud of saints surroundeth,-- We may stand among Thine own, Round Thy throne. 5 Light us to the golden shore, O Thou rising Sun of morning! Lead where tears shall flow no more, Where all sighs to songs are turning, Where Thy glory sheds alway Perfect day. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: DAYSPRING
