We Come with Songs of Gladness

Author: Anon. Hymnal: WSR1921 #2 (1921) Refrain First Line: Sing the songs of gladness Lyrics: 1 We come with songs of gladness To praise our God and King, And for his love and mercy Our grateful tribute bring. The blessings of his bounty Have crowned with joy our days; Then sing we Alleluia, And thankful voices raise. Refrain: Sing the songs of gladness, Uplift the shout of praise; Let every voice and heart rejoice In God always. 2 We praise thee for earth’s beauty, And for the sky’s blue dome; We praise thee for our country; We praise thee for our home; We praise thee for thy gospel, And for a Saviour’s love; We praise thee for the promise Of endless life above. [Refrain] 3 The angels lift their anthems Of heav’nly joy on high, And fill thy courts with music In songs that never die. And when beyond the river We reach the city fair, We’ll sing the song of gladness With sweeter rapture there. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We come with songs of gladness]

Father Most Merciful! Glad in the Dawning

Author: Marianne Hearn Hymnal: WSR1921 #3 (1921) Lyrics: 1 Father most merciful! Glad in the dawning All things awake to sing praises to thee; Thou art the giver of joy in the morning, Spreading thy sunlight o’er meadow and sea. 2 Bright birds soar up in the thin air to greet thee, Sweet-scented blossoms look forth for thy face; Thy children go out into daylight to meet thee, Finding thy footprints in every new place. 3 Father most merciful, give for our guerdon Joy in thy presence whate’er may befall, Courage to fight, or to carry the burden, Faith to be cheerful and quiet through all.

At Thy Feet, Our God and Father

Author: J. D. Burns, 1823-1864 Hymnal: WSR1921 #4 (1921) Lyrics: 1 At Thy feet, our God and Father, Who has blest us all our days, We with grateful hearts would gather, To begin this hour with praise; Praise for light so brightly shining On our steps from Heaven above; Praise for mercies, daily twining Round us golden cords of love. 2 Jesus, for thy love most tender, On the cross for sinners shown, We would praise thee and surrender All our hearts to be thine own. With so blest a friend provided, We upon our way would go, Sure of being safely guided, Guarded well from every foe. 3 Every day will be the brighter When thy gracious face we see; Every burden will be lighter When we know it comes from thee, Spread thy love’s broad banner o’er us, Give us strength to serve and wait, Till the glory breaks before us Through the City’s open gate.

We Gather Together

Author: Anon. Hymnal: WSR1921 #5 (1921) First Line: We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing Lyrics: 1 We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing; He chastens and hastens his will to make known. The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing, Sing praises to His Name,—he forgets not his own. 2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning; Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine! 3 We all do extol thee, thou Leader in battle, And pray that thou still our Defender will be. Let thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free! Tune Title: [We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing]

O God, Thy World Is Sweet with Prayer

Every Morning Mercies New

Author: Greville Phillimore Hymnal: WSR1921 #7 (1921) Lyrics: 1 Every morning mercies new Fall as fresh as morning dew; Every morning let us pay Tribute with the early day; For thy mercies, Lord, are sure; Thy compassion doth endure. 2 Still the greatness of thy love Daily doth our sins remove; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast, Gives unbought, to those who pray Strength to stand in evil day. 3 Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter’s power within, Every morning, for the strife, Feed us with the Bread of Life.
