Humble Worship

BOWRING.

1 WHEN before thy throne we kneel, Filled with awe and holy fear,

Teach us, O our God! to feel

All thy sacred presence near.

2 Check each proud and wandering thought
When on thy great name we call ;
Man is nought-is less than nought:
Thou, our God, art all in all.

3 Weak, imperfect creatures, we
In this vale of darkness dwell;
Yet presume to look to thee,
'Midst thy light ineffable.

4 O, receive the praise that dares
Seek thy heaven-exalted throne;
Bless our offerings, hear our pray'rs,
Infinite and Holy One!

Solemn Invocation.

ANONYMOUS

1 COME, thou Almighty King!
Help us thy name to sing;
Help us to praise!

Father all glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,
Ancient of days!

3.

2 Come, thou all gracious Lord!
By heaven and earth adored,
Our prayer attend!

Come, and thy children bless;
Give thy good word success;
Make thine own holiness
On us descend!

3 Never from us depart;
Rule thou in every heart,
Hence, evermore!
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

S. M.

Exhortation to Praise.

MONTGOMERY,

1 STAND up and bless the Lord,
Ye people of his choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your
With heart, and soul and voice.

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud and magnify?

30 for the living flame

God,

From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought '

4 There, with benign regard,
Our hymns he deigns to hear;
Though unrevealed to mortal sense,
The spirit feels him near.

4.

5 Stand up and bless the Lord,
The Lord your God adore;
Stand up and bless his glorious name,
Henceforth for evermore.

L. M.

Public Worship.

1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone:
He can create, and he destroy.

WATTS.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when, like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 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?

4 We'll crowd thy gates, with thankful songs
High as the heaven our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

5 Wide as the world is thy command;
Vast as eternity thy love;

5.

Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

[blocks in formation]

1 0, COME, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our Almighty King;
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's Rock we praise.
