1. MP 50 Be still for the presence of the Lord

    1. Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
      the Holy One, is here;
      come bow before Him now
      with reverence and fear:
      in Him no sin is found –
      we stand on holy ground.
      Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
      the Holy One, is here.

    2. Be still, for the glory of the Lord
      is shining all around;
      He burns with holy fire,
      with splendour He is crowned:
      how awesome is the sight –
      our radiant King of light!
      Be still, for the glory of the Lord
      is shining all around.

    3. Be still, for the power of the Lord
      is moving in this place:
      He comes to cleanse and heal,
      to minister His grace -
      no work too hard for Him.
      In faith receive from Him.
      Be still, for the power of the Lord
      is moving in this place.

  2. MP 428 Lord for years

    1. Lord, for the years
      Your love has kept and guided,
      urged and inspired us,
      cheered us on our way,
      sought us and saved us,
      pardoned and provided:
      Lord of the years,
      we bring our thanks today.

    2. Lord, for that word,
      the word of life which fires us,
      speaks to our hearts
      and sets our souls ablaze,
      teaches and trains,
      rebukes us and inspires us:
      Lord of the word,
      receive Your people’s praise.

    3. Lord, for our land
      in this our generation,
      spirits oppressed by pleasure,
      wealth and care:
      for young and old,
      for commonwealth and nation,
      Lord of our land,
      be pleased to hear our prayer.

    4. Lord, for our world where men
      disown and doubt You,
      loveless in strength,
      and comfortless in pain,
      hungry and helpless,
      lost indeed without You:
      Lord of the world,
      we pray that Christ may reign.

    5. Lord, for ourselves;
      in living power remake us –
      self on the cross
      and Christ upon the throne,
      past put behind us,
      for the future take us:
      Lord of our lives,
      to live for Christ alone.
