Happy the home when God is there
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #552 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Happy the home when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
When one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heavenly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus' name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early lisp his fame,
And parents hold him dear.
3 Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise is wont to rise;
Where parents love the sacred word,
And live but for the skies.
4 Lord, let us in our homes agree,
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign. Tune Title: WARWICK
Happy the home when God is there
The day is past and gone
Author: John Leland Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #554 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
O, may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
2 Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
3 And if we early rise,
And view the unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
4 And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
O, may we in thy bosom rest
The bosom of thy love. Tune Title: VESPER
The day is past and gone
The swift declining day
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #556 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day,
How fast its moments fly!
While evening's broad and gloomy shade
Gains on the western sky.
2 Ye mortals, mark its pace,
And use the hours of light;
And know, its Maker can command
At once death's silent night.
3 Give glory to the Lord,
Who rules the whirling sphere;
Submissive at his footstool bow,
And seek salvation there.
4 Then shall new luster break
Through death's impending gloom,
And lead you to unchanging light
In your celestial home. Tune Title: VESPER
The swift declining day
While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #567 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here:
Fixed in an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We a little longer wait,
But now little none can know.
2 As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find,
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind,
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive,
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view;
Bless thy word to young and old,
Fill us with a Saviour's love,
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with him above. Tune Title: BENEVENTO
While, with ceaseless course, the sun
The power to bless my house
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #712 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 The power to bless my house
Belongs to God alone;
Yet rendering him my constant vows,
He sends his blessings down.
2 Shall I not then engage
My house to serve the Lord,
To search the soul-converting page,
And feed upon his word?
3 To ask, with faith and hope,
The grace which he supplies,
In prayer and praise to offer up
Their daily sacrifice?
4 Saviour of men! incline
The hearts which thou hast made,
Which thou hast bought with love divine,
To ask thy promised aid. Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:20
The power to bless my house
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Author: Ken Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #715 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily course of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and early 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
High praises to th' eternal King.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Direct, control, suggest this day
All I design, or do, or say;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Scripture: Psalm 3
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Once more, my soul, the rising day
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #716 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him who rules the skies.
2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heaven on which he sits
To turn the seasons round.
3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame;
My tongue shall speak his praise:
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame,
And yet his wrath delays.
4 Great God, let all my hours be thine,
While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline
And bring a peaceful night. Scripture: Psalm 57:8
Once more, my soul, the rising day
The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear
Author: Leland Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #717 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
Oh, may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
2 Lord! keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
3 And when we early rise,
And view th' unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
4 And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
Oh, may we in thy bosom rest,
The bosom of thy love.
The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear
God of the morning, at whose voice
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #718 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 God of the morning, at whose voice
The cheerful sun makes haste to rise,
And, like a giant, doth rejoice
To run his journey through the skies--
2 From the fair chambers of the east
The circuit of his race begins,
And, without weariness or rest,
Round the whole earth he flies and shines.
3 Oh, like the sun may I fulfill
Th' appointed duties of the day;
With ready mind, and active will,
March on, and keep my heavenly way.
God of the morning, at whose voice
The hours of evening close
Author: Conder Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #720 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 The hours of evening close;
Its lengthened shadows, drawn
O'er scenes of earth, invite repose,
And wait the Sabbath dawn.
2 So let its calm prevail
O'er forms of outward care;
Nor thought for many things assail
The still retreat of prayer.
3 Our guardian Shepherd near
His watchful eye will keep;
And safe from violence or fear
Will fold his flock to sleep.
4 So may a holier light
Than earth's our spirits rouse,
And call us, strengthened by his might,
To pay the Lord our vows.
The hours of evening close
