And blessed peace to cheer us,

And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no op'ning skies,
But take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear:
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
4 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove.
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
Amen. Topics: Consecration; Encopragement; Faithfulness; Gospel Call and Response; Holy Spirit; Obedience; Patience; Prayer / Petition; Presence of God; Temptation; Worship Scripture: Galatians 5:25 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

Wing your flight o'er all the earth;

Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Watching o'er Your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
4 Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Amen.

The National Anthem (The Star Spangled Banner)
Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Meter: Irregular Appears in 446 hymnals First Line: O say can you see by the dawn's early light Lyrics: 1 O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dead silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses?
And catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream,
'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
3 O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Topics: Adoration and Praise; Freedom; Justice; Nation; Peace Scripture: Psalm 68:4 Used With Tune: STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Amen. Topics: Assurance; Consolation; Eternal Life; Funeral; Guidance; Lent; Prayer / Petition; Presence of God Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

To be with Him forever blest.

When, in Our Music, God Is Glorified

And adoration leaves no room for pride,
It is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!
2 How often, making music, we have found
A new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!

In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue:
Alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
When utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom He won the fight:
Alleluia!
5 Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Topics: Adoration and Praise; Commissioning; Creation; Witness Scripture: Mark 14:26 Used With Tune: ENGLEBERG
