I GREAT God, before thy throne we bow Descend on all assembled here! 2 Diffuse thy love and peace abroad, 3 Though poor the offering, thou wilt own. And when our Sabbaths here decay, Retreat. L. M. 98. I GREAT God, and wilt thou condescend 2 Art thou my Father?- let me be 4 Art thou my Father?- then, at last, 99. 1 FROM every stormy wind that blows, 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds 3 There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagles' wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more; And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. PRAISE God, from whom all blessings flow ! 3 Thy praises, Lord, I will resound Praise him, all creatures here below! To all the listening nations round; Harmony Grove. L. M. Praise ye the Lord, around whose throne All heav'n in ceaseless worship waits, Whose glory fills the worlds unknown,-Praise ye the Lord from Zion's gates. 103. 2 Each joy and blessing time affords, Light, life, and health, and all below, I PRAISE ye the Lord, around whose throne 3 All-gracious God, to thee we owe 2 With mingling souls and voices join; Spring from thy presence, Lord of lords. 4 Thine be the praise, for thine the love That freely all our sins forgave, Pointed our dying eyes above, And showed us life beyond the grave. I THY will be done! In devious way The hurrying stream of life may run; Yet still our grateful hearts shall say, "Our Father, may thy will be done!" 2 Thy will be done! If o'er us shine A gladdening and a prosperous sun, This prayer will make it more divine: "Our Father, may thy will be done!" 105. I Lo, God is here! Let us adore, And humbly bow before his face! Let all within us seek his grace. 2 Lo, God is here! Him, day and night, United choirs of angels sing; Missionary Chant. L. M. 3 Thy will be done! Though shrouded o'er Our path with gloom, all prayers in one Our souls before thy throne shall pour, "Our Father, let thy will be done!" 4 Thy will be done! The living way To thine own kingdom is begun, Continued, ended, when we pray, "Our Father, let thy will be done!" To him, enthroned above all height, 3 Being of beings! may thy praise Ye Christian heralds! go, proclaim Salvation thro' Immanuel's name: To distant climes the tidings bear, And plant the Rose of Sharon there. 107. 0, in what di - vers pains they met! 0, with what joy they went I AT even, ere the sun was set, O, with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 't is eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near: What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel ! For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free; St. Crispin. L. M. Lord of all being, throned a far, Thy glory flames from sun and star; Centre and soul of every sphere, Yet to each loving heart how near! 108. I LORD of all being, throned afar, Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign: 4 Lord of all life, below, above, Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before thy ever-blazing throne We ask no lustre of our own. 5 Grant us thy truth to make us free, Till all thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame. OB God is in his holy tem-ple: Thoughts of earth, be silent now, While with reverence we as-semble, D. S.- Aid-ing ev'ry good en-deav-or, 6 FINE. Pure, un-bounded grace is thine; Hail the God of our sal-va-tion, Praise him for his love di-vine. 110. I PRAISE to thee, thou great Creator, Praise him for his love divine. 2 For ten thousand blessings given, For the hope of future joy, Sound his praise through earth and heaven, Sound Jehovah's praise on high. Joyfully on earth adore him, Till in heaven our song we raise ; There, enraptured, fall before him, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. |
