O Fearful Place, Where He Who Knows Our Heart

Author: Martin H. Franzmann, 1907- Hymnal: WSCW1969 #774 (1969) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 O fearful place, where he who knows our heart Lays bare our sins--O Lord, from us depart! We cannot live where thou, the Holy, art. Alleluia! Alleluia! 2 O house of God, where angel troops descend From heaven to man and on his saints attend; Here let us sing the song that knows no end: 3 O gate of heaven, where God's almighty Word, Big with forgiveness, constantly is heard, And God's elect to shouts of praise are stirred: 4 O Son of God, who diedst our life to win, Here in this house we died thy death to sin, And from the dead with thee have raisèd been. 5 Thy servants here took our young life in hand And taught us all that thy love did command And made us in thy Spirit's strength to stand. 6 Thy body given and thy blood outpoured In bread and wine here we have tasted, Lord; For this thy gift forever be adored! 7 O God Almighty, gracious Three in One, In this thy house let praise to thee be done Until we join in heaven's high unison: Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. Topics: The Church Anniversary Tune Title: MISSION

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #765 (1969) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, And all my weariness upon thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God; Here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear; The feast, though not the love, is passed and gone. The bread and wine remove, but thou art here-- Nearer than ever--still my Shield and Sun. 4 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness

Author: William Watkins Reid Sr., 1890- Hymnal: WSCW1969 #792 (1969) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness, For dull content with warmth and sheltered care, For songs of praise for food and harvest press, While of thy richer gifts we're unaware: 2 Teach us to thank thee, Lord, for love and grace, For life and vision and a purpose clear, For Christ, thy Son, and for each human face That shows thy message ever new and near. 3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise, For word that speaks at variance with deed; Forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways Unmindful of a broken brother's need: 4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine, That gives as Christ gave, never counting cost, That knows no barrier of "mine" and "thine," Assured that only what's withheld is lost. 5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast, For joy in things the while we starve the soul, For walls and wars that hide thy mercies vast And mar our vision of the kingdom goal: 6 Open our eyes to glimpse thy love's intent, Our minds and hearts to plumb its depth and height; May thankfulness be days in service spent, Reflection of Christ's life and love and light. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Thanksgiving Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
