A Psalm for the Lord's Day
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXVII (1791) Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns First Line: Sweet is the Work, my God, my King Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the Work, my God, my King,
To praise thy Name, give Thanks and sing;
To shew thy Love by morning Light,
And talk of all thy Truth at Night.
2 Sweet is the Day of sacred Rest;
No mortal Cares shall seize my Breast;
O may my Heart in Tune be found
Like David's Harp of solemn Sound!
3 My Heart shall Triumph in my Lord,
And bless his Works, and bless his Word;
Thy Works of Grace, how bright they shine!
How deep thy Counsels! how Divine!
4 Fools never raise their Thoughts so high:
Like Brutes they live, like Brutes they die;
Like Grass they flourish, till thy Breath
Blast them in everlasting Death.
5 But I shall share a glorious part
When Grace hat well refin'd my Heart,
And fresh Supplies of Joy are shed
Like holy Oil to chear my Head.
6 Sin (my worst Enemy before)
Shall vex my Eyes and Ears no more;
My inward Foes shall all be slain,
Nor Satan break my Peace again.
7 Then shall I see, and hear, and know
All I desir'd or wish'd below;
And ev'ry Pow'r afind sweet Employ
In that Eternal World of Joy

A Psalm for the Lord's Day
Lord's Day Morning
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXCIX (1791) Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns First Line: To Day God bids the Faithful rest Lyrics: 1 To Day God bids the Faithful rest,
To Day he show'rs his Grace;
"Seek ye my Face," the Lord hath said,
Lord, we will seek thy Face.
2 Come, let us leave the Things on Earth,
With God's Assembly join;
Lo! Heav'n descends to welcome Man,
To taste the Things divine!
3 We come, dear Saviour, lo! we come,
Lord of our Life and soul;
We come diseas'd, and faint, and sick,
Be pleas'd to make us whole.
4 We thirst, and fly to thee, O Lord,
Thou Fountain-Head of Good;
Filthy we come, and all Unclean,
O cleanse us in thy Blood.
5 O may we please our God to day,
May that be all our Care!
Give, Lord, thy Grace, lest evil Thoughts
Should mingle in our Pray'r.
6 Amid th' Assembly of thy Saints,
Let us be faithful found;
And let us join in humble Pray'r,
And in thy Praise abound.
7 Let thy good Spirit help our souls,
With Faith thy Word to hear;
Be with us in thy Temple, Lord,
And let us find the near. Languages: English

God Is Here
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #389 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us, as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 God of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe! Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENWERN
God Is Here
How Great the Mystery of Faith
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #390 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 How great the mystery of faith,
how deep the purposes of God,
in birth and ageing, life and death,
unveiled, yet never understood!
2 Attracted by life's deepest claim
we wait, assembled in this place,
with needs and hopes we cannot name,
athirst for healing, truth, and grace.
3 The best that we can do and say,
the utmost care of skill and art,
are sweepers of the Spirit's way
to reach the depths of every heart.
4 Come, walk among us, Holy Friend,
as all are gathered and prepared,
that scattered lives may meet and mend
through open Word and table shared. Tune Title: OTTERSPOOR

and with awe appear before you.

all within keep silence,
gather now with deepest reverence.
You alone
God we own,
you, our God and Saviour:
praise your name for ever.
2 God, reveal your presence:
hear the harps resounding;
see the crowds the throne surrounding.
"Holy, holy, holy!"
Hear the hymn ascending,
angels, saints, their voices blending.
Bow your ear
to us here;
hearken, O Lord Jesus,
to our humble praises.
3 O great Fount of blessing,
purify my spirit,
trusting only in your merit;
like the holy angels
gathered all before you,
may I ceaselessly adore you.
Let your will
ever still
rule your church terrestrial,
as the hosts celestial. Languages: English Tune Title: ARNSBERG
