Here, in Thy name, eternal God

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #133 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; O choose it for Thy fixed abode, And guard it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed gospel of Thy Son, Still, by the power of Thy great name, Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 When children's voices raise the song, Hosanna to the heavenly King, Let heaven, with earth, the strain prolong, Hosanna let the angels sing. 5 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart; In every bosom fix Thy throne.

O Word of God incarnate

Author: W.W. How Hymnal: LHPN1913 #134 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky; We praise Thee for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lamp unto our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth O'er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored, It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word. 3 It floateth like a banner Before God's host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea, Amid the rocks and quicksands Still guides, O Christ, to Thee. 4 O make Thy Church, dear Savior, A lamp of burnished gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light as of old; O teach Thy wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see Thee face to face.

Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: C.B. Garve Hymnal: LHPN1913 #136 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to Thy garden ne’er refuse This heavenly balm of Thine. Watered by Thee, let every tree Then blossom to Thy praise, By grace of Thine bear fruit divine, Through all the coming days. 2 Thy word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o’er all the earth, To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan’s hour And break the night of sin. 3 Thy word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night; In every spirit shine, That none may miss heaven’s final bliss, Led by Thy light divine.
