Breaks o'er the earth again,
As some sweet summer morning
After a night of pain;
It comes as cooling showers
To some exhausted land,
As shade of cluster'd palm trees
'Mid weary wastes of sand.
2 Lord, we would bring for off'ring,
Tho' marr'd with earthly soil,
A week of earnest labor,
Of steady, faithful toil,
Fair fruits of self-denial,
Of strong, deep love to Thee,
Foster'd by Thine own Spirit,
In true humility.
3 And we would bring our burden
Of sinful tho't and deed,
In Thy pure presence kneeling,
From bondage to be freed,
Our heart's most bitter sorrow
For all Thy work undone
So many talents wanted!
So few bright laurels won!
4 And with that sorrow mingling,
A steadfast faith, and sure,
And love so deep and fervent,
For Thee to make it pure,
In Thy dear presence finding
The pardon that we need,
And then the peace so lasting
Celestial peace indeed. Amen.

How sweet to leave a world of care,
And lift to heav'n the voice of pray'r!

When Nature's voice is hush'd in sleep,

May find in pray'r the sweetest rest.

The newborn day begins to dawn,
Then upward to the mercy-seat
Let pray'r ascend like incense sweet.

When daily cares our hearts would steal,

And find in pray'r our surest stay. Languages: English Tune Title: BRADBURY

Children's Praises
Author: Rev. John King Hymnal: Christ in Song #323 (1908) Topics: Hymns for Worship Closing Hymns First Line: When, His salvation bringing Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing,
To Zion Jesus came,
The children all stood singing
"Hosanna" to his name.
Nor did their zeal offend him,
But, as he rode along,
He let them still attend him
And smiled to hear their song.
2 And, since the Lord retaineth
His love for children still,
Tho' now as King he reigneth
On Zion's heav'nly hill,
We'll flock around his banner,
Who sits upon the throne,
And cry aloud, "Hosanna
To David's royal Son."
3 For, should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise,
These stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
The tribute of our words?
Nor, while our hearts are tender,
They too shall be the Lord's.
