25. S. M. Pleasures of Spiritual Worship. URWICK'S COLL 1 HOW sweet to bless the Lord, 2 These seasons of delight The dawn of glory seem, 3 0, blest assurance this; Bright morn of heavenly day; 26. L. M. Worship acceptable from every Place. PIERPONT 1 O THOU, to whom, in ancient time, 2 Not now on Zion's height alone Thy favored worshipper may dwell, Nor where, at sultry noon, thy Son Sat, weary, by the patriarch's well. 3 From every place below the skies, The grateful song, the fervent prayer, The incense of the heart, may rise To heaven, and find acceptance there. 4 O Thou, to whom, in ancient time, The lyre of prophet-bards was strung, To thee, at last, in every clime, The acceptable Worship. 1 FATHER of our feeble race, Or the busy walks of men, J. TAYLOR. 2 Lord, what offerings shall we bring, By the melting eye expressed; Sorrow leaves the wounded breast; 28. C. M. RIPPON'S COLL. Worship. 1 HOLY and reverend is the name Of our Eternal King; "Thrice holy Lord!" the angels cry ; 2 The deepest reverence of the mind 3 With sacred awe pronounce his name, 4 Thou holy God! preserve my soul The pure in heart are thy delight, 29. S. M. SPIRIT OF THE PSALMS. Enjoyment in Worship. 1 SWEET is the task, O Lord, To praise thy name, and hear thy word, 2 Sweet, at the dawning hour, Thy boundless love to tell ; And, when the night-wind shuts the flower, 3 Sweet, on this day of rest, To join, in heart and voice, With those who love and serve thee best, 4 To songs of praise and joy Be every Sabbath given, That such may be our blest employ 30. Eternally in heaven. 1 THE offerings to thy throne which rise, Of mingled praise and prayer, Are but a worthless sacrifice 2 Upon thine all-discerning ear 3 My offerings will indeed be blest, If thy pure spirit touch my breast 4 O, may that spirit warm my heart 31. And to life's lowly vale impart L. M. Delight in the Sabbath. 1 SWEET is the work, my God, my King, 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, WATTS. And bless his works, and bless his word 4 When shall I see, and hear, and know, And every power find sweet employ Anticipating Worship. 1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear To thee will I direct my prayer, 2 Thou art a God before whose sight Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, 3 But to thy house will I resort, 4 O, may thy spirit guide my feet Invoking God's Aid. 1 WATTS. H. WARE, JR. 1 FATHER in heaven, to thee my heart Drive from my soul each earthly thought, 2 Each moment of my life renews Each moment is itself a gift 3 O, help me break the galling chains This world has round me thrown, 4 O Father, kindle in my breast |
