Acceptable Offerings

Author: J. Taylor Hymnal: BHPPD866 #11 (1866) First Line: Lord! what offering shall we bring Lyrics: Lord! what offering shall we bring, At Thine altars when we bow? Hearts, the pure, unsullied spring, Whence the kind affections flow: Willing hands, to lead the blind, Heal the wounded, feed the poor; Love, embracing all our kind, Charity, with liberal store. Teach us, O thou Heavenly King, Thus to show our grateful mind, Thus the accepted offering bring, Love to Thee and all mankind. Languages: English

The Place of Prayer

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #12 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Here, in this place of prayer Lyrics: Here, in this place of prayer, Father! Thy face we seek: Grant us that blessed peace to share, Known to the pure and meek. Come then to holy prayer, Souls that seem lost in night; Leave to the Lord your heavy care, Who giveth life and light. Come with a trusting prayer, Though fears press down your souls; The Saviour’s promise, “I am there,” Each saddening fear controls. Here, in this place of prayer, Let hearts in union meet: Come, cast the load you cannot bear Low at the Saviour’s feet. Then from this house of prayer Shall mingling praise be given, And angels, ’mid the holy air, Shall bear the notes to heaven. Languages: English

The Lord is in His Holy Temple

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #13 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lo! God is here; let us adore Lyrics: Lo! God is here; let us adore, And humbly bow before His face; Let all within us feel His power, Let all within us seek His peace. Lo! God is here; Him day and night United choirs of angels sing; To Him, enthroned above all height, Heaven’s host their noblest praises bring. Being of beings! may our praise Thy courts with grateful incense fill: Still may we stand before thy face, Still hear and do thy sovereign will. More of Thy presence, Lord! impart; More of Thine image may we bear: O, fix Thy throne in every heart, And reign without a rival there. Languages: English

The Temple

Author: Bowring Hymnal: BHPPD866 #14 (1866) First Line: In Thy courts let peace be found Lyrics: In Thy courts let peace be found, Be Thy temple full of love; Here we tread on holy ground, All serene, around, above. While the knee in prayer is bent, While with praise the heart o’erflows, Tranquillize the turbulent! Give the weary one repose! Be the place for worship meet, Meet the worship for the place; Contemplation’s blest retreat, Shrine of guilelessness and grace! As an infant knows its home, Lord! may we Thy temples know; Hither for instruction come, Hence by Thee instructed go. Languages: English

Supplication

Author: Gray Hymnal: BHPPD866 #15 (1866) First Line: Suppliant, lo! Thy children bend Lyrics: Suppliant, lo! Thy children bend, Father, for Thy blessing now; Thou canst teach us, guide, defend; We are weak, almighty Thou! With the peace Thy word imparts Be the taught and teacher blessed; In our lives, and in our hearts, Father! be Thy laws impressed. Pour into each longing mind, Light and knowledge from above: Charity for all mankind, Trusting faith, enduring love. Languages: English

How Amiable are Thy Tabernacles

Author: Watts Hymnal: BHPPD866 #16 (1866) First Line: Lord of the worlds above Lyrics: 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. The sparrow for her young With pleasure seeks a nest, And wandering swallows long To find their wonted rest: My spirit faints, With equal zeal To rise and dwell Among Thy saints. O happy souls that pray To Him that heareth prayer! O happy men that pay Their constant service there! They praise Thee still; And happy they Who love the way To Zion’s hill. They go from strength to strength, Though oft through pain and tears, Till each arrives at length, Till each in heaven appears: O glorious seat! Our God and King Shall thither bring Our willing feet. Languages: English

Devotion

Author: J. Taylor Hymnal: BHPPD866 #17 (1866) First Line: Lord, before Thy presence come Lyrics: Lord, before Thy presence come, Bow we down with holy fear; Call our erring footsteps home, Let us feel that Thou art near. Wandering thoughts and languid powers Come not where devotion kneels; Let the soul expand her stores, Glowing with the joy she feels. At the portals of Thine house, We resign our earth-born cares; Nobler thoughts our souls engross, Songs of praise and fervent prayers. Languages: English

Hundredth Psalm

Author: Watts Hymnal: BHPPD866 #18 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. His sovereign power, without our aid, Gave life to clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name? We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love, Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Languages: English

The Heart’s Worship

Author: Bowring Hymnal: BHPPD866 #19 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The offerings to Thy throne which rise Lyrics: The offerings to Thy throne which rise, Of mingled praise and prayer, Are but a worthless sacrifice, Unless the heart be there. Upon Thine all-discerning ear Let no vain words intrude; No tribute but the vow sincere,— The tribute of the good. Our offerings will indeed be blest, If sanctified by Thee; If Thy pure spirit touch the breast With its own purity. O, may that spirit warm each heart To piety and love, And to life’s lowly vale impart Some rays from heaven above. Languages: English

Worship in Spirit

Author: Barton Hymnal: BHPPD866 #20 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: Our God is a spirit, and they who aright Lyrics: Our God is a spirit, and they who aright Would offer the worship He loveth, In the heart’s holy temple will seek with delight The spirit the Father approveth. This, this is the worship the Saviour made known When she of Samaria found him By the Patriarch’s well, sitting weary, alone, With the stillness of noontide around him. He having once entered hath shown us the way, O God! how to worship before Thee, Not with the vain forms of that earlier day, But in spirit and truth to adore Thee. Languages: English
