Master, No Offering
Author: Edwin P. Parker Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at Thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
2 Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to thee.
3 Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears;
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footstep led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide.
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen.
Master, No Offering
O Holy Spirit, Enter In
Author: Michael Schirmer Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in,
And cleanse our hearts of ev'ry sin;
Thy temple deign to make us;
Sun of the soul, Thou Light divine,
Around and in us brightly shine;
To strength and gladness wake us.
Where Thou shinest, life from heaven
There is given.
We before Thee
For that precious gift implore Thee.
2 Left to ourselves we shall but stray;
O lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us,
And give us steadfastness, that we
May henceforth truly follow Thee,
Whatever woes betide us:
Heal Thou gently hearts now broken,
Give some token
Thou art near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us.
3 O mighty Rock! O Source of Life!
Let thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning,
That we be faithful unto death,
In Thy pure love and holy faith,
From Thee true wisdom learning!
Lord, Thy graces on us shower,
By Thy power
Christ confessing,
Let us win his grace and blessing.
4 O gentle Dew, from heaven now fall
With power upon the hearts of all,
Thy tenderness instilling;
That heart to heart more closely bound,
Fruitful in kindly deeds be found,
The law of love fulfilling;
No wrath, no strife, here shall grieve Thee,
We receive Thee,
Where Thou livest,
Peace and love and joy Thou givest.
5 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In purest holiness be past;
Our minds so rule and strengthen
That they may rise o'er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth;
And if our course Thou lengthen,
Keep Thou pure, Lord, from offenses,
Heart and senses;
Blessèd Spirit,
Bid us thus true life inherit.
Amen.
O Holy Spirit, Enter In

On Thee this house to bless,
Give wisdom, strength, and grace to all
Who here Thy Name confess.
2 Spirit of mercy, bring
Thy balm the sick to heal;
And make the weary ones to sing,
Who shall Thy presence feel.
3 Spirit of peace, descend,
Thyself the heavenly Dove;
Let care for souls and bodies blend
In ministries of love.
4 Spirit of Christ, abide
In every heart alway;
And crown, O Jesus crucified,
The work begun to-day.
Amen.
Spirit of Truth, We Call

Great God, What Do I See and Hear!
Appears in 298 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated.
The trumpet sounds: the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing,
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing;
The day of grace is past and gone;
They trembling stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.
4 Thou who hast died and yet dost live,
To me impart Thy merit;
My pardon seal, my sins forgive,
And cleanse me by Thy Spirit.
Beneath Thy cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Thee.
Amen.
Great God, What Do I See and Hear!
Hail to the Lord's Anointed!
Author: James Mongtomery Appears in 851 hymnals First Line: Hail to the Lord's Anointed Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong:
To give them songs for sighing;
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 To Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever,--
That Name to us is Love.
Amen.
Hail to the Lord's Anointed!
Great Joy and Consolation
Author: Johan Olaf Wallin Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great joy and consolation
I find, O Christ, in Thee,
For Thou art my Salvation,
Thy passion sets me free;
Upon the cross Thy precious blood
Was sacrificed for sinners
To give me peace with God.
2 Beneath Thy cross I tarry,
O teach me in Thy death
Humbly my own to carry
Along the hallowed path
That Thou for all mankind hast trod
To purchase our salvation
And give us peace with God.
3 I see Thee serve and labor
In love to save mankind;
So may I help my neighbor
Whom needy I may find;
And though ungrateful he may prove,
O let me not grow weary
In Christlike deeds of love.
4 And when my days are ended,
And all my struggles cease,
Thine arms I see extended
To give eternal peace.
Whoever here confesses Thee
Shalt Thou confess in glory
Where we shall dwell with Thee.
Amen.
Great Joy and Consolation
Guardian of Pure Hearts, and Hearer
Author: Johan Olaf Wallin Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer,
Lord, of ev'ry faithful prayer,
In Thy courts one day is dearer
Than a thousand days elsewhere.
Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet
In Thy temple fair to meet!
There to sing away each sorrow
That from life and toil we borrow!
2 With the righteous oft it fareth
Here as if his deeds were ill;
Blight fair virtue's flow'rs impaireth,
Weeds of vice do flourish still;
Joy and fortune haste away,
Friends with friends--how short their stay!
Rachel still her children mourneth,
And her soul from comfort turneth.
3 But when here devoutly soareth
High the temple-anthem sweet,
Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth,
Hearts with holy rapture beat:
Free from earthly clouds, the soul
Presses toward a higher goal,
Takes from hope the comfort given,
Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven.
4 O my soul, on wings ascending,
Thou on Salem's mount shalt rest;
There where cherub-harps are blending
With the singing of the blest;
Let thy note of praise and prayer
To thy God precede thee there,
While e'en yet a careworn mortal,
Still without Thy Father's portal.
5 Christians, while on earth abiding,
Let us ever praise and pray,
Firmly in our God confiding,
As our fathers in their day;
Be the children's voices raised
To the God their fathers praised.
Let Thy bounty, failing never,
Be on us and all forever.
6 Bless us, Father, and protect us,
Be our souls' sure hiding-place,
Let Thy wisdom still direct us,
Light our darkness with Thy grace!
Let Thy countenance on us shine,
Fill us all with peace divine.
Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit,
Praise Him all that life inherit.
Amen.
Guardian of Pure Hearts, and Hearer
