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.

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.

From sin have set me free,
Offer the sacrifice of praise

Praise the Saviour ye who know Him

Praise the Saviour ye who know Him

1. Praise the Saviour, ye who know Him;
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we have and are.

2. "Jesus” is the name that charms us;
He for conflicts fits and arms us;
Nothing move and nothing harm us,
When we trust Him.

3. Trust in Him, ye saints forever;
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He love from Him.

4. Keep us, Lord, oh, keep us cleaving
To Thyself and still believing,
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys in heaven.

5. Then we shall be where would be;
Then we shall be what we should be;
Things which are not now, nor could be,
Then shall be our own.

Father hear the prayer we offer

Father hear the prayer we offer 

1. Father, hear the prayer we offer
not for ease our prayer shall be,
but for strength that we may ever
live our lives courageously.

2. Not for ever n green pastures
do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.

3. Not for ever by still waters
would we idly rest and stay;
but would strike the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.

4. Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wanderings be out guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be there at our side.

Jesus, i my cross have taken

JESUS I MY CROSS HAVE TAKEN

1. Jesus, I my cross have taken.
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be:
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped and
known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heav'n are still my own!

2. Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.

3. Man may trouble and distress me.
“Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav’n will bring me sweeter rest.
O ‘tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee

4. Hasten on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heav’n’s eternal days before me,
God’s own hand shall guide me there.
Soon shall close my earthly mission,
Swift shall pass my pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

I lay my sins on Jesus

I lay my sins on Jesus 

1. I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accursed load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.

2. I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fulnes dwells in Him:
He heals all my diseases;
He doth my soul redeem.
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases;
He all my sorrows shares.

3. I rest my soul on Jesus,
This weary soul of mine;
His right hand me embraces;
I on His breast recline.
I love the name of Jesus,
Emmanuel, Christ the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes
His name abroad is pour'd.

4. I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild:
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's Holy Child.
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
And learn the angels' song

O Lord of heaven and earth and sea

O Lord of heaven and earth and sea 

1. O Lord of heaven, and earth, and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to thee,
Giver of all?

2. The golden sunshine, vernal air.
Sweet flowers and fruits, thy love declare;
Where harvests ripen, thou art there,
Giver of all!

3. For peaceful homes, and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe thee thankfulness and praise,
Giver of all!

4. Thou didst not spare thine only Son,
But gav’st him for a world undone,
And freely with that Blessed One
Thou givest all.

5. Thou giv’st the Spirit’s blessed dower,
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost his sevenfold graces
shower
Upon us all.

6. For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, what can to thee be given,
Who givest all?

7. We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have as treasure without end
Whatever, Lord, to thee we lend,
Who givest all;

8. To thee, from whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give:
O may we ever with thee live,
Giver of all!

Saviour again to thy dear name

Saviour again to thy dear name

1. Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we
raise With one accord
our parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee
ere our worship cease, Then, lowly
kneeling, wait Thy word of peace.

2. Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;
With Thee began,
with Thee shall end the day;
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy Name.

3. Grant us Thy peace, Lord, thro' the coming night,
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;
From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

4. Grant us Thy peace throughout
our earthly life, Our balm in
sorrow and our stay in strife; Then,
when Thy voice shall
bid our conflict cease, Call us, O
Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

Come ye thankful people come

Come ye thankful people come 

1. Come, ye thankful people come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin.
God, our maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God’s own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.

2. All the world is God’s own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield:
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Whole-some grain and pure may be.

3. For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home:
From His field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.

4. Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest home:
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, for ever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home
