Hymn. Church rejoicing. 1 ALL praise to our redeeming LORD, 2 He bids us build each other up; To our high calling's glorious hope 3 The gift which he on one bestows, The grace through ev'ry vessel flows, In purest streams of love. 4 E'en now we think and speak the same, 5 We all partake the joy of one, A peace to sensual minds unknown, 6 And if our fellowship below In JESUS be so sweet, What height of rapture shall we know, When round His throne we meet! Hymn. Church praying for the Weak. 1 AUTHOR of faith, we seek Thy face, 2 Thou seest their wants, Thou know'st their names; Be mindful of Thy youngest care; 3 The lion roaring for his prey, With rav'ning wolves on ev'ry side, 4 Satan his thousand arts essays, His agents all their pow'rs employ, To blast the blooming work of grace, The heav'nly offspring to destroy. 5 In safety lead Thy little flock, From hell, the world, and sin secure; And set their feet upon the rock, And make in Thee their goings sure. Hymn. Church praying for Mourners. 1 O LET the pris'ners' mournful cries, 2 Show them the blood that bought their peace, 4 Pity the day of feeble things; Ŏ gather ev'ry fainting soul! And drop salvation from Thy wings, Hymn. Church praying for the Flock. 1 JESUS, great Shepherd of Thy sheep, 2 He comes, of hellish malice fall, 3 Us into Thy protection take, 4 We laugh to scorn his cruel pow'r, 5 O do not suffer him to part 6 Together let us sweetly live, And each a starry crown receive, Hymn. Church praying for the Flock. 1 TRY us, O GOD, and search the ground 2 When to the right or left we stray, But guide our feet into the way 3 Help us to help each other, LORD; 4 Help us to build each other up, Our little stock improve; Increase our faith, confirm our hope, 5 Up into Thee, our living Head, Till Thou hast made us free indeed, 6 Then when the mighty work is wrought, Hymn. Church praying for the Flock. 1 LET us all join hand in hand, 2 Giver of peace and unity, Send down Thy mild, pacific Dove; We all shall then in one agree, And breathe the spirit of Thy love. |
