A glory gilds the sacred page
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #310 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Charles Jeffereys Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun:
It gives a light to every age,
It gives, but borrows none.
2 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set.
3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine,
For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
4 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
Amen. Topics: Bible; Church The Word; Gospel Excellency of; Holy Scriptures; Means of Grace; The Word Languages: English Tune Title: BOARDMAN
A glory gilds the sacred page
Happy the heart where graces reign
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #454 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Charles Jeffereys Lyrics: 1 Happy the heart where graces reign,
Where love inspires the breast;
Love is the brightest of the train,
And strengthens all the rest.
2 Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
3 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet
In swift obedience move;
The devils know, and tremble too;
But devils do not love.
4 This is the grace that lives and sings
When faith and hope shall cease;
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet, realms of bliss.
Amen.

Happy the heart where graces reign
The day of resurrection
Author: John M. Neale; St. John of Damascus Hymnal: BWHT1899 #263 (1899) Person Name: St. John of Damascus Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection,
Earth, tell it out abroad:
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over,
With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection light;
And, listening to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All hail!" and, hearing,
May raise the victor-strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin,
The round world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes of gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,
Our Joy that hath no end.
Amen. Topics: Christ Conqueror; Christ Joy of believers in; Christ The Life; Christ Our Passover; Christ Resurrection of; Christ Triumph of; Death Conquered; Easter Languages: English Tune Title: ROTTERDAM

Inspirer and Hearer of prayer
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: BWHT1899 #32 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8. Person Name: James A. Johnson Lyrics: 1 Inspirer and Hearer of prayer,
Thou Shepherd and Guardian of Thine,
My all to Thy covenant care
I, sleeping or waking, resign.
2 If Thou art my Shield and my Sun,
The night is no darkness to me;
And fast as my minutes roll on,
They bring me but nearer to Thee.
3 A sovereign Protector I have,
Unseen, yet forever at hand;
Unchangeably faithful to save,
Almighty to rule and command.
4 His smiles and His comforts abound,
His grace, as the dew, shall descend;
And walls of salvation surround
The soul He delights to defend.
Amen. Topics: Covenant; Evening; God Defender; God Faithfulness of; God Our Guardian Languages: English Tune Title: DEVOTION

God is love; His mercy brightens
Author: John Bowring Hymnal: BWHT1899 #102 (1899) Person Name: Darius E. Jones Lyrics: 1 God is love; His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes and woe He lightens:
God is wisdom, God is love.
2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is wisdom, God is love.
3 Even the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom His brighness streameth:
God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is wisdom, God is love.

God is love; His mercy brightens
Always with us, always with us
Author: Edwin H. Nevin Hymnal: BWHT1899 #430 (1899) Person Name: Darius E. Jones Lyrics: 1 Always with us, always with us--
Words of cheer and words of love;
Thus the risen Saviour whispers,
From His dwelling place above.
2 With us when we toil in sadness,
Sowing much and reaping none;
Telling us that in the future
Golden harvests shall be won.
3 With us when the storm is sweeping
O'er our pathway dark and drear;
Waking hope within our bosoms,
Stilling every anxious fear.
4 With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream;
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation's radiant beam.
Amen. Topics: Christ Presence of; Communion With Christ; Consolation; Fellowship with God Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL
Always with us, always with us
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #173 (1899) Person Name: William Jones Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 See, how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys;
Our souls, how heavily they go
To reach eternal joys!
3 Dear Lord! and shall we always live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so cold, so faint to Thee,
And Thine to us so great?
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit Mocked; Holy Spirit Worshiped; Lukewarmness; Praise To the Holy Spirit; Revival; Witness of the Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: STEPHENS
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
To Thee this temple we devote
Author: Jacob R. Scott Hymnal: BWHT1899 #297 (1899) Person Name: William Jones Lyrics: 1 To Thee this temple we devote,
Our Father and our God;
Accept it Thine, and seal it now
Thy Spirit's blest abode.
2 Here may the prayer of faith ascend,
The voice of praise arise;
Oh, may each lowly service prove
Accepted sacrifice.
3 Here may the sinner learn his guilt,
And weep before his Lord;
Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour's love,
And here his vows record.
4 Here may affliction dry the tear,
And learn to trust in God;
Convinced it is a Father smites,
And love that guides the rod.
5 Peace be within these sacred walls,
Prosperity be here,
Still smile upon Thy people, Lord,
And evermore be near.
Amen. Topics: Churches Dedication Languages: English Tune Title: STEPHENS
To Thee this temple we devote
