New every morning is the love
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #5 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Morning Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we need to ask,
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Scripture: Psalm 73:25 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
New every morning is the love
Now that the daylight fills the sky
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #6 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Morning Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky,
we lift our hearts to God on high,
that he, in all we do or say,
would keep us free from harm today.
2 May he restrain our tongues from strife,
and shield from anger’s din our life,
and guard with watchful care our eyes
from earth’s absorbing vanities.
3 O may our inmost hearts be pure,
from thoughts of folly kept secure,
and pride of sinful flesh subdued
through sparing use of daily food.
4 So we, when this day’s work is o’er,
and shades of night return once more,
our path of trial safely trod,
shall give the glory to our God.
5 All praise to God the Father be,
all praise, Eternal Son, to thee,
whom with the Spirit we adore
for ever and for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 135:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: ILSLEY (BISHOP)
Now that the daylight fills the sky
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #7 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening 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 strength can be?
Through 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.
5 Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: Luke 24:28-29 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
At even, ere the sun was set
Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #10 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set,
the sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we
oppressed with various ills draw near;
what if thy form we cannot see?
we know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel;
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved thee well,
and some have lost the love they had;
4 and some have found the world is vain,
yet from the world they break not free;
and some have friends who give them pain,
yet have not sought a friend in thee;
5 and none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
for none are wholly free from sin;
and they who fain would serve thee best
are conscious most of wrong within.
6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man;
thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
thy kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide;
7 thy touch has still its ancient power;
no word from thee can fruitless fall:
hear, in this solemn evening hour,
and in thy mercy heal us all. Scripture: Mark 1:32 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS
At even, ere the sun was set
Blest Creator of the light
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #12 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Lyrics: 1 Blest Creator of the light,
making day with radiance bright,
thou didst o’er the forming earth
give the golden light its birth.
2 Shade of eve with morning ray
took from thee the name of day;
darkness now is drying nigh;
listen to our humble cry.
3 May we ne’er by guilt depressed
lose the way to endless rest;
nor with idle thoughts and vain
bind our souls to earth again.
4 Rather may we heavenward rise
where eternal treasure lies;
purified by grace within,
hating every deed of sin.
5 Holy Father, hear our cry
through thy Son our Lord most high,
whom our thankful hearts adore
with the Spirit evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA

for all the blessings of the light;
keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
beneath thy 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 O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
sleep that may me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.
5 When 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 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
praise him, all creatures here below,
praise him above, angelic host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Languages: English Tune Title: CANON (THE EIGHTH TUNE)

who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
yet day by day the light in due gradation
from hour to hour through all its changes guide;

an eve untouched by shadows of decay,
the brightness of a holy death-bed blending
with dawning glories of the eternal day.

through Jesus Christ thy co-eternal Word,
who with the Holy Ghost by all things living
now and to endless ages art adored. Languages: English Tune Title: STRENGTH AND STAY

thy word into our minds instil,
and make our lukewarm hearts to glow
with lowly love and fervent will.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
2 The day is done, its hours have run,
and thou hast taken count of all,
the scanty triumphs grace hath won,
the broken vow, the frequent fall.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
true absolution and release;
and bless us, more than in past days,
with purity and inward peace.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
4 Do more than pardon; give us joy,
sweet fear and sober liberty,
and simple hearts without alloy
that only long to be like thee.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
5 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
the sinful, unto thee we call;
O let thy mercy make us glad:
thou art our Jesus, and our All.

all thanks, O Lord, to thee;
I pray thee that sinless
the hours of dark may be:

and guard me through the coming night.

I lift my heart to thee,
and ask thee that offenceless
the hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, keep me in thy sight,
and guard me through the coming night.

I lift my heart to thee,
and ask that free from peril
the hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, keep me in thy sight,
and guard me through the coming night.

The day is past and over
The duteous day now closeth
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Robert Seymour Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #27 (2010) Meter: 7.7.8.7.7.8 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth,
each flower and tree reposeth,
shade creeps o’er wild and wood;
let us, as night is falling,
on God our Maker calling,
give thanks to Him, the giver good.
2 Now all the heavenly splendour
breaks forth in starlight tender
from myriad worlds unknown;
and man, the marvel seeing,
forgets his selfish being,
for joy of beauty not his own.
3 His care he drowneth yonder,
lost in the abyss of wonder;
to heaven his soul doth steal;
this life he disesteemeth,
the day it is that dreameth,
that doth from truth his vision seal.
4 Awhile his mortal blindness
may miss God’s loving-kindness,
and grope in faithless strife;
but when life’s day is over
shall death’s fair night discover
the fields of everlasting life. Languages: English Tune Title: INNSBRUCK

and spent too soon her golden store;
the shadows of departing day
creep on once more.
2 Our life is but an autumn sun,
its glorious noon how quickly past!
Lead us, O Christ, thou living Way,
safe home at last.
3 O by thy soul-inspiring grace
uplift our hearts to realms on high;
help us to look to that bright place
beyond the sky.
4 Where light and life and joy and peace
in undivided empire reign,
and thronging angels never cease
their deathless strain
5 where saints are clothed in spotless white,
and evening shadows never fall,
where thou, eternal Light of light,
art Lord of all. Scripture: Isaiah 60:20 Languages: English Tune Title: ST GABRIEL
The radiant morn hath passed away
The sun is sinking fast
Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #29 (2010) Meter: 6.4.6.6 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast,
the daylight dies;
let love awake, and pay
her evening sacrifice.
2 As Christ upon the cross
his head inclined,
and to his Father's hands
his parting soul resigned,
3 so now herself my soul
would wholly give
into his sacred charge,
in whom all spirits live;
4 so now beneath his eye
would calmly rest,
without a wish or thought
abiding in the breast,
5 save that his will be done,
whate'er betide;
dead to herself, and dead
in him to all beside.
6 Thus would I live: yet now
not I, but he,
in all his power and love
henceforth alive in me.
7 One sacred Trinity!
One Lord divine!
May I be ever his,
and he for ever mine. Languages: English Tune Title: ST COLUMBA (IRONS)

over death his triumph won;
on this day the Spirit came
with his gifts of living flame.
3 O that fervent love today
may in every heart have sway,
teaching us to praise aright
God the source of life and light.
4 Father, who didst fashion me
image of thyself to be,
fill me with thy love divine,
let my every thought be thine.
5 Holy Jesus, may I be
dead and buried here with thee;
and, by love inflamed, arise
unto thee a sacrifice.
6 Thou who dost all gifts impart,
shine, sweet Spirit, in my heart;
best of gifts thyself bestow;
make me burn thy love to know.
7 God, the blessèd Three in One,
dwell within my heart alone;
thou dost give thyself to me;
may I give myself to thee. Scripture: Genesis 1:3-5 Languages: English Tune Title: LÜBECK

our failing strength renew;
on weary brain and troubled breast

thy peace our spirits fill;
bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
the waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of prayer:
let earth to heaven draw near;
lift up our hearts to seek thee there,
come down to meet us here.

and wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death. Scripture: Revelation 5:11-13 Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINICA

is in the name of God!
For him let doors be opened,
no hearts against him barred!
2 Not robed in royal splendour,
in power and pomp, comes he;
but clad as are the poorest—
such his humility!
3 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
By those who truly listen
his voice is truly heard.
4 Pity the proud and haughty,
who have not learned to heed
the Christ who is the Promise,
who has our ransom paid.
5 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
He only to the humble
reveals the face of God.
6 All power is his, all glory!
All things are in his hand,
all ages and all peoples,
till time itself shall end!
7 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
He offers to the burdened
the rest and grace they need.
8 Gentle is he and humble!
And light his yoke shall be,
for he would have us bear it
so he can make us free! Languages: English Tune Title: ST CLEMENT

and manifest thy virgin-birth:
let every age adoring fall;
such birth befits the God of all.
2 Begotten of no human will,
but of the Spirit, thou art still
the Word of God, in flesh arrayed,
the Saviour, now to us displayed.
3 From God the Father he proceeds,
to God the Father back he speeds,
runs out his course to death and hell,
returns on God's high throne to dwell.
4 O equal to thy Father, thou!
Gird on thy fleshly mantle now,
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
5 Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,
and darkness glow with new-born light,
no more shall night extinguish day,
where love's bright beams their power display.
6 O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

Creator of the starry height
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #39b (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Creator of the starry height,
thy people's everlasting Light,
Jesu, Redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
of all creation doomed to die,
didst come to save our fallen race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.
3 When earth was near its evening hour,
thou didst, in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a Virgin-mother's womb.
4 At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King forevermore.
5 To thee, O Holy One, we pray,
our Judge in that tremendous day,
ward off, while yet we dwell below,
the weapons of our crafty foe.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: ST GREGORY
