Open Now Thy Gates Of Beauty

Author: B. Schmolck Hymnal: HCH11927 #21 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there, Where my soul, in joyful duty, Waits for Him who answers pray'r; O how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace. 2 Lord, my God, I come before Thee, Do not hide Thy face from me; Where we find Thee, and adore Thee There a heav'n on earth must be; To my heart, O enter Thou, Let it be Thy temple now. 3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown: Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy gift divine; Howsoe'er temptations thicken, May Thy word forever shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in the strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee; Let Thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near Thee While Thou dost Thy people feed; Here the living waters flow, Here is balm for all our woe.

O Day Of Rest And Gladness

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: HCH11927 #22 (1927) Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee, the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing Holy, Holy, Holy! To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee, our Lord, victorious, The Spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee, most glorious, A triple light was given. 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain, In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4 To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises; To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [O day of rest and gladness]

Who, though filling all the skies, Yet dost make this house Thy dwelling, And to us dost here dispense Thy pure word and sacraments. 3 Hitherto upon this house Hath salvation surely rested And our God hath been with us, And Himself hath manifested. Here His Spirit He hath given To reveal the way to heaven. 4 Oh how lovely, meet and right In His temple to adore Him! Let us now in Him delight, And with gladness come before Him. Treasures lasting, precious, pure, From above we here secure. 5 Dearest Guest, with us abide, With Thy holy Word still feed us; Hitherto by Thee supplied, Still by living waters lead us! Keep Thy Church on earth secure While the earth itself endure. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, how holy is this place]

Day Is Breaking, Night Is Ended

Author: Casper Johannes Boye Hymnal: HCH11927 #24 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Day is breaking, night is ended, And the Lord's day hath ascended Over church and countryside; As this day of grace increases, Light from God the heart appeases, Heaven’s portal opens wide, Heaven's portal opens wide. 2 Oh, what joy this day is bringing, When the solemn bells are ringing, Calling men to pray'r and praise; All the angel host rejoices, And with gladsome, mellow voices Praises God for light and grace, Praises God for light and grace. 3 Sin and death, with fear and sorrow, And the burden of the morrow Shall not fill my heart with care; Unto all in tribulation Doth the Lord who wrought salvation, On this day His peace declare, On this day His peace declare. 4 Be it hushed in solemn stillness, Must I weep in grief and illness And confess my sin and shame, It is blessed to be weeping, When the yearning heart is reaping Grace and peace in Jesus’ name. 5 Oh, Thou Fount of grace unbounded, Who the wise men hast confounded, Whom but faith can comprehend, In Thy love my soul reposes, Heaven’s portal never closes, Till before Thy throne I stand.

Love Divine, All Love Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HCH11927 #26 (1927) Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heav'n to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown: Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be: Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
