Who upholdest heaven and earth; By whose truth and tender mercy I have been led on from birth, Night and sleep now pass away-- Welcome be Thy holy day. 2 For this day so fair and holy, Be Thou by my spirit blest, Through Thy Word still nearer heaven Guide my spirit toward its rest: Than the work of praise and prayer Let me know no higher care. 3 O the beauty of Thy service! O the sweetness of Thy Word! Sweeter far than honey gathered From the flower by bee or bird: Blessed all, who day and night Make Thy word their chief delight. 4 O my God, speak Thou Amen! For we are Thy chosen own; Be Thy praise by all exalted, And Thy glorious name made known, Till aye we may, through grace, See and serve Thee face to face. Languages: English

God, who madest earth and heaven

Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful Guardian be! 6 O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand: All the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command: Thou my boast, my strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine. 7 Thus afresh with each new morning Save me from the power of sin, Hourly let me feel Thy warning Ruling, prompting all within, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.
