(137) Opening of Service.

In thy name, O Lord! assembling,

We, thy people, now draw near;

Teach us to rejoice with trembling;

Speak, and let thy servants hear--

Hear with meekness--

Hear thy word with godly fear.

2 While our days on earth are lengthened,

May we give them, Lord, to thee;

Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,

May we run, nor weary be,

Till thy glory

Without clouds in heaven we see.

3 There, in worship, purer, sweeter,

Thee thy people shall adore;

Tasting of enjoyment greater

Far than thought conceived before;

Full enjoyment,

Full, unmixed, and evermore.

Thomas Kelly, 1809.
