Old Hundred

Hymnal: BW1867 #1 (1867) First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And, when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name! 4 We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command; Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Oh 'twas a joyful sound to hear

Hymnal: BW1867 #2 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh ’twas a joyful sound to hear Our tribes devoutly say: "Up, Israel! to the temple haste, And keep your festal day!" 2 At Salem’s courts we must appear, With our assembled powers, In strong and beauteous order ranged, Like her united towers. 3 'Tis thither by divine command, The tribes of God repair, Before His ark to celebrate His name with praise and prayer. 4 Oh pray we then for Salem’s peace! For they shall prosperous be, Thou holy city of our God, Who bear true love to thee. 5 May peace within Thy sacred walls A constant guest be found: With plenty and prosperity Thy palaces be crowned.

How pleasant, how divinely fair

Hymnal: BW1867 #4 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, Thy dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints, To meet the assemblies of Thy saints. 2 My flesh would 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 saints who sit on high, Around Thy throne above the sky: Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 4 Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of Thy grace; There they behold Thy gentler rays, And seek Thy face and learn Thy praise. 5 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion’s gate; God is their strength; and through the road They lean upon their helper, God. 6 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in Heav’n at length; Till all before Thy face appear, And join in a nobler worship there.

Humble Request

Hymnal: BW1867 #5 (1867) First Line: Lord, we come before Thee now Lyrics: 1 Lord, we come before thee now; At Thy feet we humbly bow: Oh do not our suit disdain: Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain? 2 In thine own appointed way, Now we seek thee, here we stay; Lord, we cannot let Thee go Till a blessing Thou bestow. 3 Send some message from Thy word, That may joy and peace afford; Let Thy Spirit now impart, Full salvation to each heart. 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!

God is in this Place

Hymnal: BW1867 #6 (1867) First Line: Lo, God is here! let us adore Lyrics: 1 Lo, God is here! let us adore, And own how dreadful is this place; Let all within us feel His power, And silent bow before His face; Who know His power, His grace who prove, Serve him with awe, with reverence love. 2 Lo! God is here, him day and night United choirs of angels sing: To Him, enthroned above all height, Heaven's host their noblest praises bring: Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a stammering tongue. 3 Being of beings! may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill; Still may we stand before Thy face, Still hear and do Thy sovereign will; To Thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.

Early, my God, without delay

Hymnal: BW1867 #7 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Early, my God, without delay, I haste to seek Thy face; My thirsty spirit faints away Without Thy cheering grace. 2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand, Beneath a burning sky, Long for a cooling stream at hand, And they must drink or die. 3 I’ve seen Thy glory and Thy power Through all Thy temple shine; My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine. 4 Not all the blessings of a feast Can please my soul so well, As when Thy richer grace I taste, And in Thy presence dwell. 5 Not life itself, with all her joys, Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As Thy forgiving love.
