Invocation
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,217 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127:1 First Line: Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove! Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look! how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys!
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs;
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate--
Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?
5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours. Topics: The Holy Spirit Used With Tune: STEPHENS
Invocation
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 656 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127:2 Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
4 Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound. Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar; Memorials of Divine Grace
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Revival Implored
Author: John Newton Appears in 460 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127:1 First Line: Saviour, visit thy plantation! Lyrics: 1 Saviour, visit thy plantation!
Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain:
All will come to desolation,
Unless thou return again.
2 Keep no longer at a distance,
Shine upon us from on high,
Lest, for want of thine assistance,
Every plant should droop and die.
3 Once, O Lord, thy garden flourished;
Every part looked gay and green;
Then thy word our spirits nourished
Happy seasons we have seen.
4 But a drought has since succeeded,
And a sad decline we see:
Lord, thy help is greatly needed:
Help can only come from thee.
5 Let our mutual love be fervent;
Make us prevalent in prayer;
Let each one esteemed thy servant
Shun the world's bewitching snare.
6 Break the tempter's fatal power,
Turn the stony heart to flesh,
And begin from this good hour
To revive thy work afresh. Topics: Church Missions of; Church Work of Used With Tune: RATHBUN

Great God, to thee my evening song
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127:2 Lyrics: 1 Great God, to thee my evening song
With humble gratitude I raise;
Oh let thy mercy tune my tongue,
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 My days, unclouded as they pass,
And every gentle, rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to thy love and power.
3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of thy love,
Ungrateful, can from thee depart,
And, fond of trifles, vainly rove.
4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Jesus; his dear name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God!
And kind acceptance at thy throne.
5 Let this blest hope mine eyelids close;
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to thy name. Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar; For Daily Blessings
Great God, to thee my evening song

To God Be the Glory
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: To God be the glory, great things he has done Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 To God be the glory, great things he has done;
so loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord; let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord; let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory; great things he has done.
2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. [Refrain]
3 Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer and higher and greater will be
our wonder, our *transport, when Jesus we see. [Refrain]

Giver and guardian of our sleep
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127:2 Lyrics: 1 Giver and guardian of our sleep,
To praise thy name we wake;
Still, Lord, thy chosen servants keep,
For thine own mercy's sake.

We thankfully receive;
O may we only thee obey,
And to thy glory live.
3 Upon us by thy mighty hand,
Our words and thoughts restrain;
Bow every soul to thy command,
Nor let our faith be vain.
4 Subject of hope, we wait thy hour
Which shall salvation bring;
When all we are shall own thy power
And dwell with Christ, our King.
Amen.
