For God’s Presence

Author: H. Ware, Jr Hymnal: BHPPD866 #41 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father in heaven, to whom our hearts Lyrics: Father in heaven, to whom our hearts Would lift themselves in prayer, Drive from our souls each earthly thought, And show Thy presence there. Each moment of our lives renews The mercies of the Lord; Each moment is itself a gift To bear us on to God. Help us to break the galling chains This world has round us thrown; Each passion of our hearts subdue, Each cherished sin disown. O Father! kindle in our souls A never-dying flame Of holy love, of grateful trust, In Thine almighty name. Languages: English

Doing All to God

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: BHPPD866 #42 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Shine on our souls, Eternal God Lyrics: Shine on our souls, Eternal God, With rays of beauty shine; O, let Thy favor crown our days, And all their round be Thine! Did we not raise our hands to Thee, Our hands might toil in vain; Small joy success itself could give If Thou Thy love restrain. With Thee let every week begin, With Thee each day be spent, For Thee each fleeting hour improved, Since each by Thee is lent. Midst hourly cares may love present Its incense at Thy throne; And while the world our hands employs, Our hearts be Thine alone. Languages: English

Prayer for Wisdom

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #43 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty God, in humble prayer Lyrics: Almighty God, in humble prayer To Thee our souls we lift; Do Thou our waiting minds prepare For Thy most needful gift. We ask not golden streams of wealth Along our path to flow; We ask not undecaying health, Nor length of years below: We ask not honors, which an hour May bring and take away; We ask not pleasure, pomp, or power, Lest we should go astray: We ask for wisdom: Lord, impart The knowledge how to live: A wise and understanding heart To all before Thee give. The young remember Thee in youth, Before the evil days! The old be guided by Thy truth In wisdom’s pleasant ways! Languages: English

Manliness and Freedom

Author: H. Moore Hymnal: BHPPD866 #44 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Supreme and universal Light! Lyrics: Supreme and universal Light! Fountain of reason! Judge of right! Parent of good! whose blessings flow On all above, and all below: Assist us, Lord, to act, to be, What nature and Thy laws decree; Worthy that intellectual flame, Which from Thy breathing spirit came. Our moral freedom to maintain, Bid passion serve, and reason reign, Self-poised and independent still On this world’s varying good or ill. No slave to profit, shame, or fear, O, may our steadfast bosoms bear The stamp of heaven,—an upright heart, Above the mean disguise of art! May our expanded souls disclaim The narrow view, the selfish aim; But with a Christian zeal embrace Whate’er is friendly to our race. O Father! grace and virtue grant; No more we wish, no more we want: To know, to serve Thee, and to love, Is peace below,—is bliss above. Languages: English

Made Perfect in Love

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #45 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, united by Thy grace Lyrics: Father, united by Thy grace, And each to each endeared, With confidence we seek Thy face, And know our prayer is heard. Touched by the loadstone of Thy love, Let all our hearts agree; And ever towards each other move, And ever move towards Thee. Grant this, and then from all below Insensibly remove! Our souls their change shall scarcely know, Made perfect first in love. To us the ministry be given, Which angels have above; For love can make on earth a heaven, And heaven is only love. Languages: English

Prayer for Strength

Author: J. F. Clarke Hymnal: BHPPD866 #46 (1866) First Line: Father, to us Thy children, humbly kneeling Lyrics: Father, to us Thy children, humbly kneeling, Conscious of weakness, ignorance, sin and shame, Give such a force of holy thought and feeling, That we may live to glorify Thy name: That we may conquer base desire and passion That we may rise from selfish thought and will, O’ercome the world’s allurement, threat, and fashion, Walk humbly, gently, leaning on Thee still. Let all Thy goodness by our minds be seen, Let all Thy mercy on our souls be sealed, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thy power can make us clean, O, speak the word! Thy servants shall be healed.

Thrice Holy

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #47 (1866) First Line: Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven Lyrics: “Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven; Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord!” Heaven is still with anthems ringing; Earth takes up the angels’ cry, “Holy, holy, holy,” singing, “Lord of hosts, the Lord most High!” Ever thus in God’s high praises, Brethren, let our tongues unite, Whilst our thoughts His greatness raises, And our love His gifts excite. With His seraph train before Him, With His holy church below, Thus unite we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow:— “Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven; Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord! 58 Thus, Thy glorious name confessing, We adopt the angels’ cry, ‘Holy, holy, holy,’—blessing Thee, the Lord our God most High!” Languages: English

Songs of Praise

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #48 (1866) First Line: Songs of praise the angels sang Lyrics: Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When, Creation’s work begun, Spake the Lord, and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose, when he Captive led captivity. Heaven and earth must pass away, Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens and earth, Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; his heart delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. Languages: English

Thrice Holy

Author: Heber Hymnal: BHPPD866 #49 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty! Lyrics: Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth, sky, and sea. Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Thou who wast, and art, and evermore shalt be! Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see, Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, Infinite in power, in love, and purity! Languages: English

Te Deum

To Thee all angels cry aloud; To Thee the powers on high, Both cherubim and seraphim, Continually do cry: “O holy, holy, holy Lord, Whom heavenly hosts obey, The world is with the glory filled Of Thy majestic sway.” The apostles’ glorious company, And prophets crowned with light, With all the martyrs’ noble host, Thy constant praise recite. The holy church throughout the world, O Lord, confesses Thee, That Thou the Eternal Father art, Of boundless majesty. Languages: English
