Jehovah, God, Who Dwelt of Old

Author: Lewis R. Amis, (1856-1940) Hymnal: HOoS1926 #281 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, God, who dwelt of old In temples made with hands, Thy pow'r display, Thy truth unfold, Where this new temple stands; Thy pow'r display, Thy Truth unfold, Where this new temple stands. 2 Vouchsafe to meet Thy children here, Nor ever hence depart; From sorrow’s eye wipe ev'ry tear, And bless each longing heart; From sorrow’s eye wipe ev'ry tear, And bless each longing heart. 3 The rich man’s gift, the widow’s mite, Are blended in these walls; These altars welcome all alike Who heed God’s gracious calls, These altars welcome all alike Who heed God’s gracious calls. 4 From things unholy and unclean We separate this place; May naught here ever come between This people and Thy face, May naught here ever come between This people and Thy face. 5 Now with this house we give to Thee Ourselves, our hearts, our all, The pledge of faith and loyalty, Held subject to Thy call, The pledge of faith and loyalty, Held subject to Thy call. 6 And when at last the blood-washed throng Is gathered from all lands, We’ll enter with triumphant song The house not made with hands, We’ll enter with triumphant song The house not made with hands. Amen. Topics: The Church Dedication Languages: English Tune Title: CORONATION

Thou Who the Night in Prayer Didst Spend

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #282 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend, And then the twelve to preach didst send; And bidst us pray the harvest's Lord To send forth sowers of Thy Word, Hear, and Thy chosen servants bless With sev'nfold gifts of holiness. 2 O may Thy pastors faithful be, Not lab'ring for themselves, but Thee; Give grace to feed with wholesome food The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood; To tend Thy flock, and thus to prove How dearly they the Shepherd love! 3 O may Thy people faithful be, And in Thy pastors honor Thee, And with them work, and for them pray, And gladly Thee in them obey; Receive the prophet of the Lord, And gain the prophet's own reward! 4 So may we, when our work is done, Together stand before Thy throne, And joyful hearts and voices raise In one united song of praise, With all the bright celestial host, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

How Beauteous are Their Feet

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #283 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here. 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessèd are our eyes, That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Lord of the Living Harvest

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Hymnal: HOoS1926 #285 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain, Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As lab'rers in Thy vineyard, Still faithful may they be, Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; To ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 Come down, Thou Holy Spirit, And fill their souls with light, Clothe them in spotless raiment, In vesture clean and white; Within Thy sacred temple Be with them where they stand, To guide and teach Thy people In this and every land. 4 Be with them, God the Father! Be with them, God the Son! And God the Holy Spirit! Most blessèd Three in One! Make them Thy chose heralds, On them the Spirit pour, And fill them with Thy fullness Both now and evermore! Amen.

Father, Be Thy Blessing Shed

Author: Samuel Gilman Hymnal: HOoS1926 #286 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Father, be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Saviour, needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit, with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy truth thro' him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandate keep, "Feed My lambs," and "Feed My sheep!" By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy Word and Sacrament, May he so proclaim the Word That who hear him hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toll, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him in his charge to find Listening ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deepening peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ, their Head, And at last together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church The Ministry-Installation; Church Installation Languages: English Tune Title: SCHWING DICH AUF ZU DEINEM GOTT

Before Jehovah's Awful Throne

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #290 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.
