Thy presence, everlasting God

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #740 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Changes Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, everlasting God, Wide o'er all nature spreads abroad: Thy watchful eyes, which can not sleep, In every place thy children keep. 2 While near each other we remain, Thou dost our lives and souls sustain; When sep'rate, happy if we share Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care. 3 To thee we all our ways commit, And seek our comforts near thy feet; Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine, And guard and guide us still as thine. 4 Give us in thy beloved house Again to pay our grateful vows; Or, if that joy no more be known, Give us to meet around thy throne. Scripture: Psalm 139:7

Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #742 (1873) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill The closing buds on Zion's hill, When evening clouds draw thither; So sweet, so heavenly 'tis to see The members of one family Live peacefully together! 2 The children, like the lily flowers On which descend the sun and showers, Their hues of beauty blending; The parents, like the willow boughs On which the lovely foliage grows, Their friendly shade extending. 3 But leaves the greenest will decay, And flowers the brightest fade away, When autumn winds are sweeping; And be the household e'er so fair, The hand of death will soon be there, And turn the scene to weeping. 4 Yet leaves again will clothe the trees, And lilies wave beneath the breeze, When spring comes smiling hither; And friends, who parted at the tomb, May yet renew their loveliest bloom, And meet in heaven together.

Remark, my soul, the narrow bounds

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #553 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Remark, my soul, the narrow bound Of each revolving year; How swift the weeks complete their round! How short the months appear! 2 So fast eternity comes on, And that important day When all that mortal life hath done God's judgment shall survey. 3 Awake, O God, my careless heart Its great concerns to see, That I may act the Christian's part, And give the years to thee. Tune Title: WARWICK

Softly fades the twilight ray

Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #564 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray Of the holy Sabbath-day, Gently as life's setting sun When the Christian's course is run. 2 Night her solemn mantle spreads O'er the earth as daylight fades, All things tell of calm repose At the holy Sabbath's close. 3 Peace is on the world abroad; 'Tis the holy peace of God, Symbol of the peace within When the spirit rests from sin. 4 Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshiper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize. 5 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be Days of joy and peace in thee, Till in heaven our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close. Tune Title: MERCY

Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?

Author: Wm. Rinehart Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #730 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Oh, why art thou cast down, my soul? Why sunk within me so? Hope thou in God--he is thy Guide And Guardian here below. 2 Has not the Saviour died for thee, And shed his precious blood? Has he not groaned on Calvary, To bring thee home to God? 3 Then why art thou cast down, my soul? Shake off thy gloomy fears; Thy toils and conflicts soon shall end In this dark vale of tears. 4 What though the powers of earth and hell Against thee should combine? Amidst thy conflicts, O my soul, A glorious hope is thine. 5 This world and all created things In ruins soon shall lie; But thou, my soul, shalt dwell secure, Beyond the starry sky. 6 There thou shalt rest with Christ above, Where he, eternal, reigns, And ever sing redeeming love With sweet, angelic strains.

Oh, what stupendous mercy shines

Author: Rippon Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #756 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Widowhood and Orphanage Lyrics: 1 Oh, what stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heaven! Rebels he deigns to call his sons-- Their souls renewed, their sins forgiven. 2 Go, imitate the grace divine-- The grace that blazes like a sun; Hold forth your fair, though feeble light, Through all your lives let mercy run. 3 Upon your bounty's willing wings Swift let the great salvation fly; The hungry feed, the naked clothe; To pain and sickness help apply. 4 Pity the weeping widow's woe, And be her counselor and stay; Adopt the fatherless, and smoothe To useful, happy life, his way. 5 When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn: Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the Christian name adorn.
