Let all who truly bear

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #500 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let all who truly bear The bleeding Saviour's name, Their faithful hearts with us prepare, And eat the Paschal Lamb. 2 This eucharistic feast Our every want supplies, And still we by his death are blest, And share his sacrifice. 3 Who thus our faith employ, His suff'rings to record, E'en now we mournfully enjoy Communion with our Lord. 4 We too with him are dead, And shall with him arise; The cross on which he bows his head Shall lift us to the skies.

Blest be the tie that binds

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: VoP1873 #504 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

O praise our God to-day, His constant mercy bless

Author: Baker Hymnal: VoP1873 #509 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, praise our God to-day, His constant mercy bless, Whose love hath helped us on our way, And granted us success. 2 Oh, happiest work below, Earnest of joy above, To sweeten many a cup of woe By deeds of holy love! 3 Lord, may it be our choice This blessed rule to keep: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, And weep with them that weep.

Jesus, we look to thee

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #515 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we look to thee, Thy promised presence claim; Thou in the midst of us shalt be, Assembled in thy name. 2 We meet the grace to take Which thou hast freely given; We meet on earth for thy dear sake, That we may meet in heaven. 3 Present we know thou art, But, oh, thyself reveal! Now, Lord, let every bounding heart Thy mighty comfort feel. 4 Oh, may thy quickening voice The death of sin remove; And bid our inmost souls rejoice, In hope of perfect love.

And are we yet alive

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #517 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And are we yet alive, And see each other's face? Glory and praise to Jesus give, For his redeeming grace. 2 What troubles have we seen! What conflicts have we past! Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last! 3 But out of all, the Lord Hath brought us by his love; And still he doth his help afford, And hides our life above. 4 Then let us make our boast Of his redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more. 5 Let us take up the cross, Till we the crown obtain; And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain.

Let party names no more

Author: Beddome Hymnal: VoP1873 #518 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let party names no more The Christian world o'erspread; Gentile and Jew, and bond and free, Are one in Christ their head. 2 Among the saints on earth, Let mutual love be found; Heirs of the same inheritance, With mutual blessings crowned. 3 Thus will the church below Resemble that above; Where streams of pleasure ever flow, And every heart is love.

Welcome, sweet day of rest

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #526 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise; Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes. 2 The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to-day; Here we may sit and see him here, And love, and praise, and pray. 3 One day amidst the place Which Jesus dwells within, Is sweeter than ten thousand days Of pleasurable sin. 4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this, And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss.

Hail to the Sabbath day!

Author: Bulfinch Hymnal: VoP1873 #533 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Sabbath day! The day divinely given, When men to God their homage pay, And earth draws near to heaven. 2 Lord, in this sacred hour, Within thy courts we bend, And bless thy love, and own thy power, Our Father and our Friend. 3 But thou art not alone In courts by mortals trod; Nor only is the day thine own When man draws near to God. 4 Thy temple is the arch Of yon unmeasured sky; Thy Sabbath, the stupendous march Of grand eternity. 5 Lord, may that holier day Dawn on thy servants' sight; And purer worship may we pay In heaven's unclouded light.

I love thy kingdom, Lord

Author: Dwight Hymnal: VoP1873 #543 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love thy kingdom, Lord, The house of thine abode, The church our blest Redeemer saved With his own precious blood. 2 I love thy church, O God; Her walls before thee stand, Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graven on thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 5 Jesus, thou Friend divine, Our Saviour, and our King, Thy hand, from every snare and foe, Shall great deliverance bring. 6 Sure as thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

Our willing feet shall stand

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #544 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our willing feet shall stand Within the temple door, While young and old, in many a band, Shall throng the sacred floor. 2 Thither the tribes repair, Where all are wont to meet, And, joyful in the house of prayer, Bend at thy mercy-seat. 3 Within these walls may peace And harmony be found; Zion, in all thy palaces, Prosperity abound! 4 For friends and brethren dear, Our prayer shall never cease; Oft as they meet for worship here, God send his people peace!
