HYMNS:
3
ANGEL voices, ever singing
round Thy throne of light,
angel harps, for ever ringing,
rest not day nor night;
thousands only live to bless Thee,
and confess Thee
Lord of might.
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest
mortal eye can scan,
can it be that Thou regardest
songs of sinful man?
Can we know that Thou art near us
and wilt hear us?
Yes, we can.
3 In Thy house, great God, we offer
of Thine own to Thee,
and for Thine acceptance proffer,
all unworthily,
hearts, and minds, and hands, and voices
in our choicest
psalmody.
4 Honour, glory, might, and merit
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
blessèd Trinity.
Of the best that Thou hast given
earth and heaven
render Thee.
Francis Pott, 1832-1909

When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will sing as David sang.
When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will sing as David sang.
I will sing, I will sing, / I will sing as David sang.
I will sing, I will sing, / I will sing as David sang.
When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will clap as David clapped.
When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will clap as David clapped
I will clap, I will clap, / I will clap as David clapped.
I will clap, I will clap, / I will clap as David clapped.
When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will dance as David danced.
When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will dance as David danced.
I will dance, I will dance, / I will dance as David danced.
I will dance, I will dance, / I will dance as David danced.

I will praise as David praised.
When the Spirit of the Lord / is within my heart
I will praise as David praised.

COME down, O Love divine,
and seek this soul of mine,
and visit it with Your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, Your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let Your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward garment be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o’er its own shortcomings weeps with
loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling.
Bianco da Siena, c. 1350-1434; tr. by Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90

AS the deer pants for the water,
so my soul longs after You,
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.
You alone are my strength, my shield,
to You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.
2 I want You more than gold or silver,
only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy-giver
and the apple of my eye.
3 You’re my Friend and You are my Brother,
even though You are a King.
I love You more than any other,
so much more than anything.
