God of my life, to thee My cheerful soul I raise
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #727 (1873) Topics: The Christian Family Birthday Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to thee
My cheerful soul I raise;
Thy goodness bade me be,
And still prolongs my days;
I see my natal hour return,
And bless the day that I was born.
2 My soul and all its powers
Thine, wholly thine, shall be;
All, all my happy hours
I consecrate to thee;
Whate'er I have, whate'er I am,
Shall magnify my Maker's name.
3 Long as I love beneath,
To thee, oh, let me live!
To thee my every breath,
In thanks and praises give!
Creating and preserving grace
Let all that is within me praise.
4 Then, when the work is done,
The work of faith and power,
Receive thy rescued son
In death's triumphant hour;
Like Moses, to thyself convey
My soul, to live in endless day. Scripture: Exodus 20:12
God of my life, to thee My cheerful soul I raise
Let sinners take their course
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #731 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Let sinners take their course,
And choose the road to death;
But in the worship of my God,
I'll spend my daily breath.
2 My thoughts address his throne,
When morning brings the light;
I seek his blessing every noon,
And pay my vows at night.
3 Thou wilt regard my cries,
O my eternal God,
While sinners perish in surprise
Beneath thine angry rod.
Scripture: Psalm 55
Let sinners take their course
I love to steal awhile away
Author: Mrs. Brown Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #732 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumb'ring care;
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear;
And all his promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven:
The prospect does my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Scripture: Genesis 24:63
I love to steal awhile away
My faith looks up to thee
Author: Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #733 (1873) Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary:
Saviour divine,
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away:
Oh, let me from this day,
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart;
My zeal inspire:
As thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be--
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my Guide:
Bid darkness turn to day;
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream;
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distress remove;
Oh, bear me safe above--
A ransomed soul. Scripture: John 3:14-15
My faith looks up to thee
Rise up, and bless your God
Author: A. H. Bassett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #736 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Rise up, and bless your God,
Early his praise declare;
Make haste, attend upon his word,
And breathe your midnight prayer.
2 Let your first thoughts ascend,
And reach the Holy One;
Your earliest wishes ever tend
To his celestial throne.
3 Let not the world, nor care,
Nor sense, nor self have place;
Midnight be given to praise and prayer,
Through the Redeemer's grace.
4 Lord, in this solemn hour,
All thoughts be thoughts of thee;
Into my soul thy fullness pour--
Be all in all to me.
5 Keep, ever keep my heart,
Leaving no room for sin;
Wisdom, and strength, and love impart,
Making a heaven within.
6 Oh, may I live to love,
And fear, and honor thee;
Then sing with ransomed hosts above,
In blest eternity.
Rise up, and bless your God
Thou who art the ever-present
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #737 (1873) Topics: The Christian Family Changes Lyrics: 1 Thou who art the ever-present
And all-seeing gracious God,
Make our journey useful, pleasant;
Guard and bless us on the road,
As we travel--
Traveling still to thine abode.
2 In this journey, and life's travel,
Go with us--thy love display;
May we see a bright to-morrow
Through the storm-clouds of to-day;
Give thine angels
Charge to keep us on the way.
Thou who art the ever-present
For a season called to part
Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #738 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Family Changes Lyrics: 1 For a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.
2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer,
Tender shepherd of thy sheep!
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.
3 In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Give us, if we live, ere long
In thy peace to meet again.
4 Then, if thou thy help afford,
Ebenezers shall be reared;
And our souls shall praise the Lord,
Who our poor petitions heard.
For a season called to part
Call Jehovah thy salvation
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #739 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Family Changes Lyrics: 1 Call Jehovah thy salvation,
Rest beneath the Almighty's shade;
In his secret habitation
Dwell, nor ever be dismayed.
2 Since, with firm and pure affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection
He will shield thee from above.
3 Thou shalt call on him in trouble,
He will hearken, he will save;
Here, for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave. Scripture: Proverbs 3:5
Call Jehovah thy salvation
Great God, we would to thee make known
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #741 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Great God, we would to thee make known
Each fond maternal care;
For this we gather round thy throne,
And bring our children there.
2 Lord, hear the parents' earnest cry,
And save our children dear;
Now send thy Spirit from on high,
And fill them with thy fear.
3 Oh, make them love thy holy law,
And joyful walk therein;
Their hearts to new obedience draw,
Save them from every sin.
Great God, we would to thee make known
Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray
Author: Hyde Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #744 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray
Beyond thy blest enclosure's bound;
And, lured by worldly joys away,
Among the thoughtless crowd be found;
2 Remember, still, that they are thine,
And that thy sacred name they bear;
The precious seal of love divine,
The sign of cov'nant grace they wear.
3 In all their wand'rings, hopes, and fears,
Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be;
Remember all the prayers and tears
Which made them consecrate to thee.
4 And when these lips no more can pray,
These eyes can weep for them no more,
Still turn their feet from folly's way;
The wand'rers to thy fold restore. Scripture: Ezra 8:2
Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray
