How Charming Is the Place

Samuel Stennett·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unveils the glories of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!

Verse 2

Here, on the mercy seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit,
And smile on all around.

Verse 3

To him their prayers and cries,
Each contrite soul presents;
And while he hears their humble sighs
He grants them all their wants.

Verse 4

Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode;
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.

Lord! We Come Before Thee Now

William Hammond·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

Lord! we come before thee now;
At thy feet we humbly bow;
Oh, do not our suit disdain;
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

Verse 2

Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Let thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

Verse 3

Comfort those who weep and mourn;
Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up,
Strong in faith, in love, and hope.

Verse 4

Grant that those who seek may find
Thee, a God sincere and kind;
Heal the sick, the captive free,
Let us all rejoice in thee.

Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing

Walter Shirley·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace;
Oh! refresh us,
Traveling through this wilderness.

Verse 2

Thanks we give and adoration,
For thy gospel’s joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May thy presence
With us, evermore, be found.

Verse 3

So, whene’er the signal’s given,
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angel’s wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
We shall surely
Reign with Christ in endless day.

Thy Presence, Gracious God! Afford

John Fawcett·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

Thy presence, gracious God! afford:
Prepare us to receive thy word;
Now let thy voice engage our ear,
And faith be mixed with what we hear.

Verse 2

Distracting thoughts and cares remove,
And fix our hearts and hopes above;
With food divine may we be fed
And satisfied with living bread.

Verse 3

To us thy sacred word apply,
With sovereign power and energy;
And may we, in thy faith and fear,
Reduce to practice what we hear.

Verse 4

Father, in us thy Son reveal;
Teach us to know and do thy will;
Thy saving power and love display.
And guide us to the realms of day.

Again Our Earthly Cares We Leave

John Newton·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

Again our earthly cares we leave,
And in thy courts appear;
Again, with joyful feet, we come
To meet our Savior here.

Verse 2

Within those walls let holy peace.
And love, and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease--
The wounded spirit heal.

Verse 3

The feeling heart, the melting eye.
The humble mind bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.

Verse 4

May we in faith receive thy word,
In faith present our prayers;
And in the presence of our Lord,
Unbosom all our cares.

Verse 5

Shew us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hope to raise;
And pour thy blessing from above,
That we may render praise.
