O Thou who dwellest up on high
Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O Thou who dwellest up on high,
To whom our prayers and praises fly,
Once more our voices all unite
In song to thee, O God of light!
2 Our humble gratitude we speak,
For all the blessings of the week,
As at thy throne of grace we bow
And ask thee for a blessing now.
3 O bless us as we meet to-day,
While unto thee we sing and pray;
O bless the word of truth we hear,
And to each heart be very near.
4 'Tis vain within these walls to kneel
Unless our need of thee we feel;
'Tis vain to lift the voice in praise
Unless devotion tunes our lays.
5 Help us to worship thee aright;
Let self be banished from our sight,
Unless thy Spirit prompts the view
To search our motives through and through. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: OLD HUNDRED
O Thou who dwellest up on high
Father supreme, whose wondrous love
Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #2 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Father supreme, whose wondrous love
Our utmost thought so far exceeds,
We seek thy blessing from above,
A rich supply for all our needs.
2 On thee alone our hopes we rest,
To thee alone we lift our eyes;
Regard our prayer, though unexpressed,
Accept our spirit's sacrifice.
3 'Tis not for present power or wealth,
Or worldly fame, we look to thee;
We ask thy gift of heavenly health,
The gift of immortality.
4 Fulfil in us thy faithful word,
Through Him who died to make it sure,
Our Mercy-seat, our Righteousness,
Who lives again to die no more. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: OLD HUNDRED
Father supreme, whose wondrous love
How pleasant, how divinely fair
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #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
How pleasant, how divinely fair
Lord, grant thy blessing here to-day
Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #4 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, grant thy blessing here to-day;
O give thy people joy and peace!
The tokens of thy love display,
And favor that shall never cease.
2 We seek the truth which Jesus brought;
His path of light we long to tread;
May here his holy word be taught,
And here its purest influence shed.
3 May faith and hope and love abound,
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
Lord, grant thy blessing here to-day
How sweet to leave the world awhile
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: SDAH1886 #5 (1886) Lyrics: 1 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.
2 From busy scenes we now retreat,
That we may here converse with thee:
Dear Lord, behold us at thy feet!
Let this the gate of heaven be.
3 Chief of ten thousand, now appear,
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
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: SDAH1886 #6 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, gracious God, afford;
Prepare us to receive thy word;
Now let thy voice engage our ear,
And faith be mixed with what we hear.
2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove,
And fix our hearts on things above;
With food divine may we be fed,
And satisfied with living bread.
3 To each thy sacred word apply
With sovereign power and energy,
And may we in thy faith and fear
Reduce to practice what we hear.
4 Father, in us thy Son reveal;
Teach us to know and do thy will:
Thy saving power and love display,
And guide us to the realms of day. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: BURTON
Thy presence, gracious God, afford
Again our earthly cares we leave
Author: John Newton Hymnal: SDAH1886 #7 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Again our earthly cares we leave,
And to Thy courts repair;
Again with joyful feet we haste,
To meet our Saviour there.
2 Great Shepherd of thy people, here
Thy presence now display:
We bow within thy house of prayer;
O give us hearts to pray!
3 The clouds which vail thee from our sight,
In pity, Lord, remove;
Dispose our minds to hear aright
The message of thy love.
4 The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind, bestow;
And shine upon us from above,
To make our graces grow. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Tune Title: MANOAH
Again our earthly cares we leave
Jesus, our Lord, make no delay
Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #8 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, make no delay
To meet us with thy love;
Drive interposing clouds away,
And make our guilt remove.
2 What do we here without thy grace,
O blessed Lamb of God?
'Twill be a dark and tiresome place
Unless we feel thy word.
3 Come in with power to every soul,
O thou immortal Dove;
Make every wounded spirit whole
With thy redeeming love.
4 We long to meet our God to-day,
And taste his grace divine;
That every soul with joy may say,
"My Lord, my God, I'm thine."

Jesus, our Lord, make no delay
Come, thou Desire of all thy saints!
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: SDAH1886 #9 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Desire of all thy saints!
Our humble strains attend,
While with our praises and complaints,
Low at thy feet we bend.
2 Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine,
And fill thy dwellings here,
Till life, and love, and joy divine,
A heaven on earth appear.
3 Show us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hopes to raise;
And pour thy blessing from above,
To aid our feeble praise.
4 Then shall our hearts enraptured say,
"Come, great Redeemer! come,
And bring the bright, the glorious day,
That calls thy children home." Topics: Hymns Opening Hymns Tune Title: MANOAH
Come, thou Desire of all thy saints!
When, as returns this solemn day
Author: Anna L. Barbauld Hymnal: SDAH1886 #10 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When, as returns this solemn day,
Man comes to meet his God,
What rites, what honors shall he pay?
How spread his praise abroad?
2 From marble domes and gilded spires
Shall clouds of incense rise?
And gems, and gold, and garlands deck
The costly sacrifice?
3 Vain, sinful man! creation's Lord
Thy offerings well may spare;
But give thy heart, and thou shalt find
Thy God will hear thy prayer.
