1 WITH One consent, let all the earth
To God their cheerful voices raise;
Glad homage pay, with hallowed mirth,
And sing before him songs of praise; -

2 Convinced that he is God alone,

From whom both we and all proceed,
We, whom he chooses for his own,
The flock which he vouchsafes to feed.

3 O enter then his temple gate,

Thence to his courts devoutly press;
And still your grateful hymns repeat,
And still his name with praises bless.

4 For he's the Lord supremely good;
His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth, which always firmly stood,
To endless ages shall endure.

Solemn Invocation.

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!

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.

For God's Blessing on Worship.

1 LORD, from thine inmost glory send,
Within these courts to bide,

The peace that dwelleth without end
Securely by thy side.

2 May erring minds that worship here
Be taught the better way,

And they who mourn, and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.

3 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise,

While round these hallowed walls the storm Of earth-born passion dies.

Invitation to the House of God.

COME to the house of prayer,

O thou afflicted, come;

The God of peace shall meet thee there,
He makes that house his home.

Come to the house of praise,

Ye who are happy now;

In sweet accord your voices raise,

In kindred homage bow.

3 Ye aged, hither come,

For ye have felt his love;

Soon shall your trembling tongues be dumb, Your lips forget to move.

4 Ye young, before his throne,

Come, bow; your voices raise;
Let not your hearts his praise disown,
Who gives the power to praise.

Thou, whose benignant eye
In mercy looks on all;

Who see'st the tear of misery,
And hear'st the mourner's call;

6 Up to thy dwelling-place
Bear our frail spirits on,

Till they outstrip time's tardy pace,
And heaven on earth be won.

Worship in Truth.

1 ALMIGHTY God! before whose throne
The secrets of all hearts are known;
Who dost approve the vow sincere,
And hear and answer earnest prayer, -

2 Thou the vain homage wilt despise
Of heedless lips and wandering eyes,
And spurn the sacrifice that brings
To heavenly aims terrestrial things.

3 O grant us, in this sacred hour,
To feel thy love, to own thy power,
And, from the world's allurements free,
To raise each thought in truth to thee.

Te Deum.

1 O GOD! we praise thee, and confess
That thou the only Lord
And everlasting Father art,
By all the earth adored.

2 To thee all angels cry aloud;
To thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
Continually do cry,-
