When the great sun sinks to his rest
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #72a (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God the Father God in Nature; Adoration; Creation, The; God Nature, His Glory in; Nature Services; Prayer and Intercession; Worship Lyrics: 1 When the great sun sinks to his rest,
His golden glories thrilling me,
And voiceless longings stir my breast,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
2 And when the stars— the daylight fled—
In serried, shining ranks I see,
Filling the splendid vault o’erhead,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
3 Or if in solemn forest shades
The calm of nature steals o’er me,
And silence all my soul pervades,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
4 Not in the sacred shrines alone,
Which chime their summons unto me,
Would I look upward to Thy throne,
But everywhere would worship Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. VENANTIUS

To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heaven to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.
2 There the great Monarch of the skies
His saving power displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quickening rays.
3 With his rich gifts the heavenly Dove
Descends, and fills the place,
While Christ reveals his wondrous love,
And sheds abroad his grace.
4 There, mighty God, thy words declare
The secrets of thy will:
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.
Pause.
5 My heart and flesh cry out for thee,
While far from thine abode;
When shall I tread thy courts and see
My Saviour and my God!
6 The sparrow builds her self a nest,
And suffers no remove;
Oh make me like the sparrows, blest,
To dwell but where I love.
7 To set one day beneath thine eye,
And hear thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity
Employ'd in carnal joys.
8 Lord, at thy threshold I would wait,
While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Among the tents of sin.
9 Could I command the spacious land,
And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away. Scripture: Psalm 84:1-3 Languages: English

Thee God, we praise, Thy name we bless
Author: Niceta of Remesiana Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #1 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Thee God, we praise, Thy name we bless,
Thee Lord of all we do confess;
The whole creation worships Thee,
The Father of eternity.
2 To Thee aloud all angels cry,
The heavens and all the powers on high,
The cherubs and the seraphs join,
And thus they hymn Thy praise divine:
3 O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Thou God of hosts, by all adored;
Earth and the heavens are full of Thee,
Thy light, thy power, thy majesty.
4 The apostles join the glorious throng,
The prophets swell the immortal song,
The white-robed hosts of martyrs bright
All serve and praise Thee day and night.
5 Thy holy Church in every place
Throughout the world exalts Thy praise,
And ever doth acknowledge Thee,
Father of boundless majesty.
6 O God eternal, mighty King,
We unto Thee or praises bring;
And to Thy true and only Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
7 O King of glory, Christ the Lord,
God's everlasting Son--the Word,
To rescue mankind from its doom,
Thou didst our very flesh assume.
8 Thou overcamest death's sharp sting,
Believers unto heaven to bring;
At God's right hand, exalted there,
Thou dost the Father's glory share.
9 And we believe Thou wilt descend
To be our judge, when comes the end;
Thy servants help, whom Thou, O God,
Hast ransomed with Thy precious blood.
10 Among Thy saints let us be found
With glory everlasting crowned;
Thy people save from age to age,
And bless Thy chosen heritage.
11 O guide them, lift them up for aye;
We magnify Thee day by day,
Thy name we worship and adore,
World without end, for evermore.
12 Vouchsafe, O Lord, we humbly pray,
To keep us safe from sin this day;
O Lord, have mercy on us all,
Have mercy on us, when we call.
13 Thy mercy, Lord, to us extend,
As on Thy mercy we depend:
Lord, I have put my trust in Thee,
Confounded let me never be. Tune Title: [Thee God we praise, Thy name we bless]
Thee God, we praise, Thy name we bless
