Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 151 hymnals Topics: Church, Dedications Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty;
Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul in joyful duty
Waits for Him who answers prayer;
O how blessed is this place,
Filled with solace, light and grace!
2 Gracious God, I come before Thee,
Come Thou also down to me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee,
There a heaven 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 temptation thicken,
May Thy Word still o'er me shine,
As my guiding star through life,
As my comfort in all strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee,
Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thy people Thou dost feed:
Here of life the fountain flows,
Here is balm for all our woes.
Amen. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER, UNSER KÖNIG

O Lord of Hosts, Whose Glory Fills
Author: John M Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Dedication Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
The bounds of the eternal hills,
And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands,
To dwell in temples made with hands.
2 Grant that all we, who here today
Rejoicing this foundation lay,
May be in very deed Thine own,
Built on the precious Corner Stone.
3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace
That shall adorn Thy dwelling place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them Thine.
4 To thee they all belong, to thee
The treasures of the earth and sea;
And when we bring them to thy throne
We but present thee with thine own.
5 The heads that guide endue with skill;
The hands that work preserve from ill;
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day.
AMEN. Used With Tune: ALSACE

And while the wave-notes fall on my ear,
Ev'rything false will disappear.

Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Gladly the warm truth ev'rywhere;
Open my heart, and let me prepare
Love with Thy children, thus to share.

Ready, my God, Thy will to see;

Who is on the Lord's side
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Dedication of Life Lyrics: 1 Who is on the Lord's side?
Who will serve the King?
Who will be His helpers,
Other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world's side?
Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who for Him will go?
By Thy call of mercy,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.
2 Not for weight of glory,
Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But for Love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died:
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.
3 Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can overthrow:
Round His standard ranging,
Victory is secure;
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.
Amen. Used With Tune: ARMAGEDDON
