Father of mercies, bow Thine ear

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #271 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, bow Thine ear, Attentive to our earnest prayer: We plead for those who plead for Thee; Successful pleaders may they be. 2 How great their work, how vast their charge! Do Thou their anxious souls enlarge: Their best acquirements are our gain; We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe, then, with energy divine Their words, and let those words be Thine; To them,Thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them Thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain -- Souls that will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains Thy grace implore, And feel Thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressèd souls forget their pains; Let light through distant realms be spread, And Sion rear her drooping head.

Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #272 (1871) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Come pure hearts, in sweetest measures Sing of those who spread the treasures In the holy Gospels shrined; Blessèd tidings of salvation, Peace on earth their proclamation, Love from God to lost mankind. 2 See the Rivers four that gladden, With their streams the better Eden Planted by our Lord most dear; Christ the Fountain, these the waters; Drink, O Sion's sons and daughters, Drink, and find salvation here. 3 O that we, Thy truth confessing, And Thy holy word possessing, Jesu, may Thy love adore; Unto Thee our voices raising, Thee with all Thy ransomed praising, Ever and for evermore.

Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #273 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name, Sweetly the Gospel trumpet sound; The glorious jubilee proclaim, Where'er the human race is found. 2 The joyful news to all impart, And teach them where salvation lies; With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 3 Be wise as serpents, where you go, But harmless as the peaceful dove; With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 4 Freely from Me ye have received, Freely, in love, to others give; Thus shall your doctrines be believed, And, by your labours, sinners live.

How beautiful the feet that bring

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #274 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beautiful the feet that bring The gladsome tidings here! What gracious messengers e'en now To our blest eyes appear! These are the stars which God appoints For guides unto our way, To lead to the true Bethlehem, Where Christ is found alway. 2 these are our God's ambassadors, By whom His mind we know; God's angels in His nether heaven; His heralds here below! Sprinkled by them, the souls arise That did in Adam die, And, fed by them with bread from heaven, Were train'd for rest on high. 3 Thy servants speak; Thou only dost The hearing ear bestow: They smite the rock, but Thou alone Dost bid the waters flow. They seek, but only Thou hast skill To bring the wanderers home: They call, but Thy love must compel, And then the invited come. 4 Lord, Thou art in them of a truth, Lest we should go astray: The twelve bright banners march before, And show us Canaan's way. Bless we Thy Name Who granst us here To sing in Sion's ways, And then on heavenly Sion's hill, To sing eternal praise. Topics: Offices of the Church The Consecration of Bishops Languages: English

This stone to Thee in faith we lay

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #275 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This stone to Thee in faith we lay; We build the temple, Lord, to Thee; Thine eye be open night and day To guard this house and sanctuary. 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, O forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed Gospel of Thy Son, Still by the power of His great Name Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Hosanna! to their heavenly king, When children's voices raise that song, Hosanna! let their angels sing And heaven with earth the strain prolong. 5 But will, indeed, Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest? Here will the world's Redeemer reign? And here the Holy Spirit rest? 6 That glory never hence depart! Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone: Thy kingdom come to every heart, In every bosom fix Thy throne. Topics: Offices of the Church Laying of a Conrer-Stone Languages: English

O Lord of Hosts, Whose glory fills

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #276 (1871) Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, Whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made of hands; 2 Grant that all we who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious Corner-stone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace, That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The heads that guide endue with skill; The hands that work preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the topstone in its day. .

Christ is our corner-stone

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #279 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone, On Him alone we build; With His true saints above The courts of heaven are filled, On His great love our hopes we place Of present grace and joys above. 2 O then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing; And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long that glorious Name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower on all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore; And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.
