Softly now the light of day

Appears in 892 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labour free, Lord, I would commune with Thee: 2 Thou, Whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee: 4 Thou Who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

Songs of praise the angels sang

Appears in 547 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang; Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born: Songs of praise arose, when He Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens, new earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb Till that glorious kingdom come? No: the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Sow in the morn thy seed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 403 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sow in the morn thy seed, At eve hold not thy hand; To doubt and fear, give thou no heed, Broad-cast it o'er the land. 2 Thou know'st not which may thrive, The late or early sown; Grace keeps the precious germs alive, When and wherever strown. 3 And duly shall appear, In verdure, beauty, strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear, And the full corn at length. 4 Thou canst not toil in vain; Cold, heat, and moist, and dry, Shall foster and mature the grain For garners in the sky.

The atoning work is done

Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The atoning work is done, The Victim's blood is shed; And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead; He stands in heaven, their great High Priest, And bears their names upon His breast. 2 He sprinkles with His blood The mercy-seat above; For Justice had withstood The purposes of love; But Justice now withstands no more, And Mercy yields her boundless store. 3 No temple made with hands His place of service is; In heaven itself He stands, A heavenly priesthood His. In Him the shadows of the law Are all fulfill'd, and now withdraw. 4 And though awhile He be Hid from the eye of men, His people look to see Their great High Priest again: In brightest glory He will come, And take His waiting people home.

Lover of men, O hear my call, And guard and save me from them all!
