We lift our hearts to thee
Author: John Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #557 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 We lift our hearts to thee,
O Day-star from on high!
The sun itself is but thy shade,
Yet cheers both earth and sky.
2 O let thy rising beams
The night of sin disperse,
The mists of error and of vice
Which shade the universe.
3 How beauteous nature now!
How dark and sad before!
With joy we view the pleasing change,
And nature's God adore. Tune Title: VESPER
We lift our hearts to thee
Our days are as the grass
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #558 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower;
When blasting winds sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
2 But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
The words of promise sure. Tune Title: BOYSTON
Our days are as the grass
The day, O Lord, is spent
Author: John Neal Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #560 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The day, O Lord, is spent;
Abide with us, and rest;
Our hearts' desires are fully bent
On making thee our Guest.
2 We have not reached that land,
That happy land, as yet,
Where holy angels round thee stand,
Whose sun can never set.
3 Our sun is sinking now,
Our day is almost o'er;
O Sun of Righteousness, do thou
Shine on us evermore! Tune Title: BOYSTON
The day, O Lord, is spent
The light of Sabbath eve
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #561 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The light of Sabbath eve
Is fading fast away;
What record will it for us leave,
To crown the closing day?
2 Is it a Sabbath spent
Of fruitless time destroyed?
Or have these moments to us lent
Been sacredly employed?
3 To waste these Sabbath hours,
O may we never dare;
Nor desecrate with words of ours
These sacred days of prayer.
4 But may our Sabbaths here
Inspire our hearts with love;
And prove a blessed foretaste clear,
Of that sweet rest above. Tune Title: BOYLSTON
The light of Sabbath eve
The Saviour kindly calls
Author: Henry U. Onderdonk Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #562 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The Saviour kindly calls
Our children to his breast;
He folds them in his gracious arms;
Himself declares them blest.
2 "Let them approach," he cries,
"Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heir of heaven are such as these;
For such as these I came."
3 With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to thee;
Imploring that, as we are thine,
Thine may our offspring be. Tune Title: BOYSTON
The Saviour kindly calls
Softly now the light of day
Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #563 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon our sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, we would commune with thee.
2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon from us the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us, Lord, to dwell with thee. Tune Title: MERCY
Softly now the light of day
Now the shades of night are gone
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #565 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Now the shades of night are gone,
Now is past the early dawn;
Lord, we would be thine to-day;
Drive the shades of sin away.
2 Make our souls as noonday clear,
Banish every doubt and fear;
In thy vineyard, Lord, to-day,
We would labor, we would pray.
3 When our work of life is past,
O receive us all at last;
Labor then will all be o'er,
Sin's dark night will be no more. Tune Title: MERCY
Now the shades of night are gone
Saviour, breathe an evening blessing
Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #566 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breathe an evening blessing
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing;
Thou canst save, and thou canst heal.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrows past us fly,
Angel guards from thee surround us;
We are safe if thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from thee;
Thou art he, who, never weary,
Watchest where thy people be.
4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And command us to the tomb,
May the morn of glory wake us,
Clad in bright, eternal bloom. Tune Title: MERCY
Saviour, breathe an evening blessing
Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #568 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide,
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou, who changest not, abide with me!
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Though cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me. Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide
Great God, to thee my evening song
Author: Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #713 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Great God, to thee my evening song
With humble gratitude I raise;
Oh let thy mercy tune my tongue,
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 My days, unclouded as they pass,
And every gentle, rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to thy love and power.
3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of thy love,
Ungrateful, can from thee depart,
And, fond of trifles, vainly rove.
4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Jesus; his dear name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God!
And kind acceptance at thy throne.
5 Let this blest hope mine eyelids close;
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to thy name. Scripture: Psalm 127:2
Great God, to thee my evening song
