Hymnal: Laudes Domini #37 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Far from the world, O Lord, I flee Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
From strife and tumult far;
From scenes where Satan wages Still
His most successful war.
2 The calm retreat, the silent shade,
With prayer and praise agree;
And seem by thy great bounty made
For those who follow thee.
3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul,
And grace her mean abode;
Oh! with what peace, and joy, and love,
She then communes with God.

The hour of prayer
Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Laudes Domini #39 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: My God, is any hour so sweet Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet,
From blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to thy feet
The hour of prayer?
2 Then is my strength by thee renewed;
Then are my sins by thee forgiven;
Then dost thou cheer my solitude,
With hopes of heaven.
3 No words can tell what sweet relief
Here for my every want I find;
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind!
4 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heaven to stay;
And ev'n the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
5 Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RISEHOLME

Breathe on us her balm.

Let it close on sin forgiven;
Fold us in the peace of heaven,
Shed a vesper calm.

Hope to bear the palm. Languages: English Tune Title: GREY

To the streams that still and slow,
Through the verdant meadows flow.

By the shades of death o'erspread,
With thy rod and staff supplied,
This my guard and that my guide.

Thou my footsteps shall attend;
And shalt bid thy hallowed dome
Yield me an eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: DIJON

All our darkness, doubts, and fears;
May thy light within us dwell,
Till eternal day appears.
4 Warm our hearts in prayer and praise,
Lift our every thought above;
Hear the grateful songs we raise,
Fill us with thy perfect love. Languages: English Tune Title: DIJON

Redeeming Love
Author: George Burder Hymnal: Laudes Domini #44 (1890) Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Sweet the time, exceeding sweet! Lyrics: 1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
When the saints together meet,
When the Saviour is the theme,
When they joy to sing of him.
2 Sing we then eternal love,
Such as did the Father move:
He beheld the world undone,
Loved the world, and gave his Son.
3 Sing the Son's amazing love;
How he left the realms above,
Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.
4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love;
With our stubborn hearts he strove,
Filled our minds with grief and fear,
Brought the precious Saviour near.
5 Sweet the place, exceeding sweet,
Where the saints in glory meet;
Where the Saviour's still the theme,
Where they see and sing of him. Languages: English Tune Title: INNOCENTS

At thy feet we humbly bow;

Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

In compassion now descend;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 In thine own appointed way,
Now we seek thee; here we stay;
Lord, we know not how to go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.
4 Comfort those who weep and mourn;
Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up;
Make them strong in faith and hope.
5 Grant that all may seek and find
Thee a God supremely kind;
Heal the sick; the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in thee. Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON

Set my conscience free from guilt.

And, without a rival, reign.

Lead me to my journey's end.

Let me die thy people's death. Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON
