Frequent the day of God returns

Hymnal: BW1870 #45 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns, To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames. 2 Accept our faint attempts to love; Our frailties, Lord forgive: We would be like Thy saints above, And praise Thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The Sabbath ne'er shall end; 4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air, With heavenly lustre shine; Before the throne of God appear, And feast on love divine.

How pleasant, how divinely fair

Hymnal: BW1870 #46 (1870) 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 th'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 joy 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 of Zion's gate: God is their strength; and through the road They lean upon their helper, God.

Early, my God, without delay

Hymnal: BW1870 #47 (1870) 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 I’ve seen Thy glory and Thy power Through all Thy temple shine: My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine. 3 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. 4 Not life itself, with all its joys, Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As Thy forgiving love.

Lord of the worlds above

Hymnal: BW1870 #48 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above, How pleasant and how fair The dwellings of Thy love, Thine earthly temples are! To Thine abode My heart aspires With warm desires To see my God. 2 O happy souls that pray Where God appoints to hear! O happy men that pay Their constant service there! They praise Thee still; And happy they' Who love the way To Zion’s hill. 3 They go from strength to strength, Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length, Till each in heaven appears; O glorious seat, When God our King, Shall thither bring Our willing feet!

How lovely, how divinely sweet

Hymnal: BW1870 #49 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How lovely, how divinely sweet, O Lord, Thy sacred courts appear! Fain would my longing passions meet The glories of Thy presence there. 2 Oh, blest the men, blest their employ, Whom Thine indulgent favors raise To dwell in those abodes of joy, And sing Thy never-ceasing praise. 3 One day within Thy sacred gate Affords more real joy to me Than thousands in the tents of state; The meanest place is bliss with Thee. 4 God is a sun; our brightest day From His reviving presence flows; God is a shield through all the way, To guard us from surrounding foes. 5 O Lord of hosts, Thou God of grace, How blest, divinely best, is he Who trusts Thy love and seeks Thy face, And fixes all his hopes on Thee!

Fain would my soul with wonder trace

Hymnal: BW1870 #50 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fain would my soul with wonder trace Thy mercies, O my God; And tell the riches of Thy grace-- The merits of thy blood. 2 With Israel's king, my heart would cry, While I review Thy ways, Tell me, my Saviour, who am I, That I should see Thy face? 3 Form'd by Thy hand, and form'd for Thee, I would be ever Thine: My Saviour, make my spirit free, With beams of mercy shine. 4 Fain would my soul with rapture dwell On Thy redeeming grace; Oh for a thousand tongues to tell My dear Redeemer's praise.

While Thee I seek, protecting power!

Hymnal: BW1870 #51 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 While Thee I seek, protecting power! Be my vain wishes still'd; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be fill'd. 2 Thy love the powers of thought bestow'd; To Thee my thoughts would soar: Thy mercy o'er my life has flow'd; That mercy I adore. 3 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because bestow'd by Thee. 4 In ev'ry joy that crowns my days, In ev'ry pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. 5 When gladness wings my favor'd hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill: Resign'd, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet Thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The lowering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on Thee!

Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone

Hymnal: BW1870 #52 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone, Let my religious hours alone: Fain would my eyes my Saviour see; I wait a visit, Lord, from Thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire; Come, my dear Jesus, from above, And feed my soul with heavenly love. 3 Bless’d Jesus, what delicious fare! How sweet Thine entertainments are! Never did angels taste above Redeeming grace and dying love. 4 Hail, great Immanuel, all divine! In Thee Thy Father’s glories shine; Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest One, That eyes have seen, or angels known.

Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!

Hymnal: BW1870 #53 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet! When the saints together meet, When the Saviour is the theme, When they joy to sing of Him. 2 Sing we then eternal love, Such as did the Father move: He beheld the world undone, Loved the world, and gave His Son. 3 Sing the Son's amazing love; How He left the realms above, Took our nature and our place, Lived and died to save our race. 4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love; With our stubborn hearts He strove, Filled our minds with grief and fear, Brought the precious Saviour near. 5 Sweet the place, exceeding sweet, Where the saints in glory meet; Where the Saviour's still the theme, Where they see and sing of Him.

How did my heart rejoice to hear

Hymnal: BW1870 #54 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear My friends devoutly say, "In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day!" 2 I love her gates, I love the road; The Church, adorn'd with grace, Stands like a palace built for God, To show His milder face. 3 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest; With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest. 4 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; Here my best friends, my kindred dwell, Here God, my Saviour, reigns.
