Evening Song
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #26 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Upward where the stars are burning Lyrics: 1 Upward where the stars are burning,
Silent, silent in their turning,
Round the never changing pole;
Upward where the sky is brightest,
Upward where the blue is lightest,
Lift I now my longing soul.
2 Far beyond the arch of gladness,
Far beyond these clouds of sadness,
Are the many mansions fair:
Far from pain and sin and folly,
In that palace of the holy
I would find my mansion there.
3 Where the Lamb on high is seated,
By ten thousand voices greeted:
Lord of lords, and King of kings!
Son of man, they crown, they crown him,
Son of God, they own, they own him,
With his name the palace rings.
4 Blessing, honor, without measure,
Heavenly riches, earthly treasure,
Lay we at his blessed feet:
Poor the praise that now we render,
Lord shall be our voices yonder,
When before his throne we meet. Languages: English Tune Title: BONAR

"Immanuel's Ground"
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #27 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Come, we who love the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, we who love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song of sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad.
3 The men of grace have found
Glory begun below;
Celestial fruits on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
5 Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Immanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high. Languages: English Tune Title: GLORY

"Worthy the Lamb"
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #28 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Sing we the song of those who stand Lyrics: 1 Sing we the song of those who stand
Around the eternal throne,
Of every kindred, clime, and land,
A multitude unknown.
2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here:
To-day the young, the old,
Our Saviour and his flock appear
One Shepherd and one fold.
3 Toil, trial, sufferings still await
On earth the pilgrim throng;
Yet learn we in our low estate
The Church Triumphant's song.
4 "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain,"
Cry the redeemed above;
"Blessing and honor to obtain,
And everlasting love!"
5 "Worthy the Lamb," on earth we sing,
"Who died our souls to save!
Henceforth, O Death! where is thy sting?
Thy victory, O Grave!" Languages: English Tune Title: OAKSVILLE

The Sanctuary
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #29 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: How charming is the place Lyrics: 1 How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer, God,
Unvails the beauty of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!
2 Not the fair palaces,
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.
3 Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit
And smile on all around.
4 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS

Psalm 63

This joy, to call thee mine;
And let my early cries prevail
To taste thy love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting soul
Thy mercy doth implore;
Not travelers, in desert lands,
Can pant for water more.
3 For life, without thy love,
No relish can afford;
No joy can be compared to this,
To serve and please the Lord.
4 In wakeful hours at night,
I call my God to mind;
I think how wise thy counsels are,
And all thy dealings kind.
5 Since thou hast been my help,
To thee my spirit flies;
And, on thy watchful providence,
My cheerful hope relies.
6 The shadow of thy wings
My soul in safety keeps;
I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my steps. Languages: English Tune Title: VIGIL

From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all his promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Languages: English Tune Title: WOODSTOCK

Prayer has power
Author: John A. Wallace Hymnal: Laudes Domini #32 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light.
2 There is an arm that never tires,
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails,
When earthly loves decay.
3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a power which man can wield
When mortal aid is vain,
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
5 That power is prayer, which soars on high,
Through Jesus, to the throne;
And moves the hand which moves the world,
To bring salvation down! Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHPORT
Prayer has power

Bending beneath thy mercy-seat,
This promise they may claim:

To bless the hallowed place;
The Saviour will himself attend,
And show his smiling face.

Fountain of peace and love,
Fulfill to us thy precious word,
Thy loving-kindness prove. Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHPORT

To him there's music in a sigh,
And beauty in a tear.
4 The humble suppliant cannot fail
To have his wants supplied, Languages: English Tune Title: FARRANT
