Awake my soul! and with the sun
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #184 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul! and with the sun
Thy daily course of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart!
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing,
"Glory to Thee, eternal King!"
3 I wake, I wake, ye heavenly choir!
May your devotion me inspire;
That I like you my age may spend,
Like you may on my God attend.
4 May I like you in God delight,
Have all day long my God in sight
Perform like you my Maker's will:
Oh may I never more do ill!
5 Glory to Thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refreshed me while I slept!
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.
6 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew:
Scatter my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with Thyself my spirit fill.
7 Direct, control, suggest this day
All I design, or do, or say,
That all my power, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite. Languages: English
Awake my soul! and with the sun
Another six days' work is done
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #185 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Another six day's work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun:
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day thy God has blest.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Provides an antepast of heaven,
And gives this day the food of seven.
3 Oh that our thoughts and thanks may rise
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none, but he who feels it, knows.
4 With joy, great God! Thy works we view,
In various scenes both old and new;
With praise, we think on mercies past,
With hope, we future pleasures taste.
5 In holy duties let the day
In holy pleasures pass away:
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end! Languages: English
Another six days' work is done
Thou, gracious God, art my defence
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #186 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Thou, gracious God, art my defence;
On thee my hopes rely:
Thou art my glory, and shalt yet
Lift up my head on high.
2 Since whensoe'er, in my distress,
To god I made my prayer,
He heard me from His holy hill,
Why should I now despair?
3 Guarded by him I lay me down
My sweet repose to take;
For I through Him securely sleep,
Through Him in safety wake.
4 Salvationto the Lord belongs;
He only can defend;
His blessing He extends to all
That on His power depend. Languages: English
Thou, gracious God, art my defence
The day is past and gone
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #187 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear,
Oh may I ever keep in mind,
The night of death is near.
2 We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest;
So death will soon disrobe us all,
Of what is here possessed.
3 Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
4 And when we early rise,
To view th' unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run,--
5 That when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
Lord, we may in Thy bosom rest,
The bosom of Thy love. Languages: English
The day is past and gone
Evening
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #188 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Family Worship First Line: Now from the altar of our hearts Lyrics: 1 Now from the altar of our hearts,
Let flames of love arise;
Assist us, Lord, to offer up
Our evening sacrifice.
2 Minutes and mercies multiplied
Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More swift, more free than they.
3 New time, new favor, and new joys,
New songs of praise require;
Till I shall praise Thee as we would,
Accept my heart's desire. Languages: English
Evening
Softly now the light of day
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #189 (1867) Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee:
2 Thou, whose all pervading eye
Naught escapes without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall for ever pass away;
then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee:
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye. Scripture: Psalm 141 Languages: English
Softly now the light of day
The mellow eve is gliding
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #190 (1867) Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 the mellow eve is gliding
Serenely down the west;
So, every care subsiding,
My soul would sink to rest.
2 The woodland hum is ringing
The daylight's gentle close;
May angels round me, singing,
Thus hymn my last repose.
3 The evening star has lighted
Her crystal lamp on high;
So, when in death benighted,
May hope illume the sky.
4 In golden splendor dawning,
the morrow's light shall break;
Oh, on the last bright morning,
May I in glory wake! Languages: English
The mellow eve is gliding
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #191 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light:
Keep me, oh keep me, King of kings!
Beneath Thine own Almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself and Thee
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed:
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise, glorious, at the awful day.
4 Oh let my soul on thee repose!
And may sweet sleep my eyelids close--
Sleep that shall me more active make
To serve my God when I awake.
5 If in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply:
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest--
No powers of darkness me molest.
6 Oh when shall I, in endless day,
Forever chase dark sleep away,
And hymns divine with angels sing--
Glory to Thee, eternal King? Languages: English
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #192 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on;
Thus far His power prolongs my days:
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of His grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But He forgives my follies past,
And strength supplies for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head:
His ever watchful eye will keep
Its constant guard around my bed.
4 Faith in His name forbids my fear;
Oh may Thy presence ne’er depart!
And in the morning may I bear
Thy loving-kindness on my heart! Languages: English
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Another fleeting day is gone
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #193 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family Worship Lyrics: 1 Another fleeting day is gone,
Slow o'er the west the shadows rise;
Swift the soft-stealing hours have flown,
And night's dark mantle veils the skies.
2 Another fleeting day is gone;
In solemn silence rest, my soul!
Bow down before His awful throne,
Who bids the morn and evening roll.
3 Soon shall a darker night descend,
And veil from me yon azure skies;
And soon shall death's oppressive hand
Lie heavy on these languid eyes.
4 Yet when beneath the dreadful shade
I lay my weary frame to rest,
That night shall not make me afraid;
That bed the dying Saviour pressed.
5 Again emerging from the night,
I, like my risen Lord, shall rise;
Again drink in the morning light,
Pure at its fount above the skies. Languages: English
Another fleeting day is gone
