O Light that knew no dawn

Hymnal: HEC #20 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: O Light that knew no dawn, That shines to endless day, All things in earth and heaven Are lustred by Thy ray; No eye can to Thy throne ascend, Nor mind Thy brightness comprehend. Thy grace, O Father, give, That I may serve in fear; Above all boons, I pray, Grant me Thy voice to hear; From sin Thy child in mercy free, And let me dwell in light with Thee. 21 That, cleansed from filthy stain, I may meet homage give, And, pure in heart, behold And serve Thee while I live; Clean hands in holy worship raise, And Thee, O Christ my Saviour, praise. In supplication meek To Thee I bend the knee; O Christ, when Thou shalt come, In love remember me, And in Thy kingdom, by Thy grace, Grant me a humble servant's place. Thy grace, O Father, give, I humbly Thee implore; And let Thy mercy bless Thy servant more and more. All grace and glory be to Thee From age to age eternally. Languages: English

The morn in beauty breaks

Hymnal: HEC #22 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: The morn in beauty breaks, The world to life awakes: Up, soul of mine, and sing! And let the day begun, In hours of service run, And joy to duty bring. The darkness fades away, Light ushers in the day-- Let there be light for me! That round my path no cloud Dark folding may enshroud Me in perplexity. To Father and to Son, To Spirit, Three in One, Eternal praise be given: Sung by the saints above, In songs of fervent love, Up in the choirs of heaven. Languages: English

Now at this evening hour

Hymnal: HEC #23 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: Now at this evening hour, O Thou, my Christ, to Thee, Thou Word of God, Eternal Light, All grateful praises be. From Thee the Spirit comes, Third beam of peerless light, And in Thyself one glorious orb The triple rays unite. Thy word and wisdom Thou To lighten man hast given, That he the splendour might reflect That shines superb in heaven; And having light within, Might see Thine image bright, And daily rise, till he himself Is altogether light.

Fades the glory of the west--

Hymnal: HEC #24 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: Fades the glory of the west-- All the crimson and the gold, Night allures the world to rest 'Neath her mantle's dusky fold. Ah, my soul, when night descends, Fear lest slumber bind thee fast, And the Bridegroom with His friends, To the marriage hasten past. He may come--what soul can know?-- When the sun has gone from sight, When the stars in myriads glow In the middle of the night. 25 Think not thou may'st safely dream Of His coming by and by, When the morning's early gleam Wakes the slumberer, from the sky. Wake, awake, the time is near, Trim thy lamp, and tend its light; For the Bridegroom may appear In the middle of the night. Languages: English

See where the orb of day

Hymnal: HEC #26 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Lyrics: See where the orb of day In glory sinks to rest, The clouds of gold and purple crown The mountains of the west; And eve in silence brings The night on dusky wings. It is the hour of peace, And hearts to heaven ascend: Come with your burdens and your care, To an unchanging Friend; And let the passing day Bear all your fears away. It is the hour of prayer; Let every fault be known; Unveil the secrets of the soul, And every sin disown; The blood for sinners spilt, Shall bear away your guilt. 27 It is the hour of praise; Let joy the stillness break; And every grateful thought of God To living song awake; And saints in heaven shall bear To God your fervent prayer. The night in silence falls: O God, to Thee be praise! And to the Spirit and the Son, Throughout the endless days; Eternal Three in One, While endless ages run. Languages: English

There is no darkness where Thou art

Hymnal: HEC #28 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: There is no darkness where Thou art, O Jesus Christ, Thou Light serene; Clouds fold their curtains and depart, And darkness melts where Thou art seen. Fair Morning Star! more glorious Sun! Thou Light of lights, Thy beams display, Till darkness owns the victory won, And night is lost in endless day. Where slumbering souls in bondage lie, Because the night hath hemmed them in, Descend, as morning from the sky, And wake them from their sleep of sin. 29 Where sorrow dims the downcast eye, And luring hope is lost to view, With light the tear-drops beautify, As sunlight on the morning dew. O Jesus Christ, Thy light is life; Shine on our souls and life revive, That they may stand before the strife, And conquer as the strong who strive. O Jesus Christ, Thy light is joy; Restore our souls from sorrow's blight, And win them to the glad employ Of those who praise both day and night. Languages: English

Lord, upon our night descending

Hymnal: HEC #30 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: Lord, upon our night descending, Bid the light with gladness shine; Let its rays, through darkness wending, Round our fears in beauty twine. Thou art Light, and where Thou dwellest, Like a traveller, gloom departs; Come, who threatening clouds dispellest, And abide within our hearts. Ah, the visions Thou impartest, With the morn, and with the noon; With what glory Thou attirest Eve, that falleth late or soon. 31 Flood our lives with varied beauty, Morn, and noon, and coming night; Light us in the path of duty, And at eve let there be light.

Lord, let my evening prayer

Hymnal: HEC #32 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: Lord, let my evening prayer As incense sweet ascend; And while I lift my hands to Thee, From heaven in mercy bend. For in Thy name I hope, And brightness floods my way; The night departs, and clouds that roll, And threaten with dismay. And in Thy name I trust, To find Thy promise sure; Thy cov'nant like the mountains strong, That evermore endure. 33 Now, at this evening hour, My hope and trust renew; Refresh me as the earth that drinks The cool refreshing dew. And when the morning wakes, Awake my soul, I pray, That in Thy strength goes forth to bear The burdens of the day. Languages: English

O Lord of light, Thy beams display

Hymnal: HEC #34 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: O Lord of light, Thy beams display, And waken joy in every heart; Bring to our souls the light of day, And bid our brooding night depart. In Thy fair realm there is no gloom, The radiant day is never done; They need no candle to illume, Nor wait the rising of the sun. No morning ushers in the day, Nor evening marks its slow decline; There Thou art Sun, and shinest aye, And all the light and joy are Thine. 35 Eternal Light, Eternal Day, No eve obscures, no darkness hides; But clear the noon-tide shines alway, For there Thy presence aye abides. Come at this hour, O Light Divine, As daylight fades, and night is nigh; And in our souls with radiance shine, As Thou art wont in realms on high. Languages: English

God of all grace, Thy mercy send

Hymnal: HEC #36 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: God of all grace, Thy mercy send; Let Thy protecting arm defend; Save us, and keep us to the end: Have mercy, Lord. And through the coming hours of night, Fill us, we pray, with holy light; Keep us all sinless in Thy sight: Grant this, O Lord. May some bright messenger abide For ever by Thy servants' side, A faithful guardian and our guide: Grant this, O Lord. 37 From every sin in mercy free, Let heart and conscience stainless be, That we may live henceforth for Thee: Grant this, O Lord. We would not be by care opprest, But in Thy love and wisdom rest-- Give what Thou seest to be best: Grant this, O Lord. While we of every sin repent, Let our remaining years be spent In holiness and sweet content: Grant this, O Lord. And when the end of life is near, May we, unshamed and void of fear, Wait for the Judgment to appear: Grant this, O Lord. Languages: English
