Glory to thee, who safe has kept

Glory to thee, who safe hast kept

1. Glory to Thee, who safe hast kept
And hast refreshed me whilst I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake
I may of endless life partake.

2. Lord, I my vows to Thee renew;
Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with Thyself my spirit fill.

3. Direct, control, suggest, this day
All I design or do or say;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite.

4. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below,
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Thought the night thy angels kept it

Thought the night thy angels kept

1. Through the night thy angels kept
Watch beside me while I slept;
Now the dark has passed away,
Thank thee, Lord, for this new day.

2. North and south and east and west
May thy holy name be blest;
Everywhere beneath the sun,
As in heaven, thy will be done.

3. Give me food that I may live;
Every naughtiness forgive;
Keep all evil things away
From thy little child this day.

New every morning is the love

New every morning is the love

1. New every morning is the love
Our wakening and uprising prove;
Through sleep and darkness safely brought,
Restored to life and power and thought.

2. New mercies, each returning day,
Hover around us while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven.
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3. If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.

4. The trivial round, the common task,
Will furnish all we need to ask,
Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.

5. Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
Fit us for perfect rest above;
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.

Christ whose glory fills the skies

Christ whose glory fills the skies

1. Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o’er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.

2. Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day’s return,
Till thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

3. Visit then this soul of mine,
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, radiancy divine,
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.

At thy feet, o Christ, we lay

At the feet, o Christ we lay

1. At thy feet, O Christ, we lay
Thine own gift of this new day;
Doubt of what it holds in store
Makes us crave Thine aid the more;
Lest it prove a time of loss,
Mark it, Saviour, with Thy cross.

2. If it flow on calm and bright,
Be Thyself our chief delight;
If it bring unknown distress,
Good is all that Thou canst bless;
Only, while its hours begin,
Pray we, keep them clear of sin.

3. We in part our weakness know.
And in part discern our foe;
Well for us, before Thine eyes
All our danger open lies;
Turn not from us, while we plead
Thy compassions and our need.

4. Fain would we Thy word embrace.
Live each moment on Thy grace,
All our selves to Thee consign,
Fold up all our wills in Thine,
Think, and speak, and do, and be
Simply that which pleases Thee.

5. Hear us, Lord, and that right soon;
Hear, and grant the choicest boon
That Thy love can e’er impart,
Loyal singleness of heart;
So shall this and all our days,
Christ our God, show forth Thy praise.

Awaked from sleep we fall

Awakened from sleep we fall

1. Awaked from sleep we fall
Before thee. God of love,
And chant the praise the angels raise,
O God of might, above:
Holy, Holy, Holy! Thou art God adored!
In thy pitying mercy show us mercy, Lord.

2. As at thy call I rise,
Shine on this mind and heart,
And touch my tongue, that I among
Thy choir may take my part:
Holy, Holy, Holy! Trinity adored!
In thy pitying mercy show us mercy, Lord.

3. The Judge will come with speed,
And each man’s deeds be known;
Our trembling cry shall rise on high
At midnight to thy throne:
Holy, Holy, Holy! King of Saints

adored!

In the hour of judgement show us

mercy, Lord.

What shall i render my God

WHAT SHALL I RENDER TO MY GOD

1. What shall I render to my God
For all His mercy's store?
I’ll take gifts He hath bestowed,
And humbly ask for more.

2. The sacred cup of saving grace
I will with thanks receive,
And all his promises embrace,
And to His glory live.

3. My vows I will to his great name
Before His people pay,
And all I have and all I am
Upon His altar lay.

4. Thy lawful servant, Lord, I owe
To Thee whate’er is mine,
Born in Thy family below
And by redemption Thine.

5. Thy hands created me, Thy hands
From sin have set me free,
Offer the sacrifice of praise
And call upon His name.

6. Praise Him, ye saints, the God of love,
Who hath my sins forgiven,
Till, gathered to the church above,
We sing the songs of heaven.
