Hymnal: Christian Hymns #191 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 God who madest earth and heaven,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Who the day and night hast given,
Sun and moon and starry host,
Thou whose mighty hand sustains
Earth and all that she contains:
2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render,
Who this night hast guarded me,
My omnipotent defender,
Who from ill dost set me free,--
Free from danger, anguish, woe,
Free from the infernal foe.
3 Let the night of my transgression
With night's darkness pass away.
Jesus, into Thy possession
I resign myself to-day;
In Thy wounds I find relief
From my greatest sin and grief.
4 Grant that I may rise this morning
From the lethargy of sin;
Thus my soul, through Thine adorning,
Shall be glorious within,
And when breaks Thy judgment day
I shall not be cast away.
5 Let my life and conversation
Be directed by Thy Word.
Lord, Thy constant preservation
To Thy erring child afford;
Nowhere but alone in Thee
From all harm can I be free.
6 Wholly to Thy blest protection
I commit my heart and mind.
Mighty God, to Thy direction
May I ever be resigned.
Lord, my shield, my light divine,
O accept, and own me Thine.
7 Lord, to me Thine angel sending,
Keep me from the subtle foe;
From his craft and might defending,
Never let Thy pilgrim go,
Till my final rest be come,
And Thine angel bear me home. Topics: Worship Morning; Prayer General Petition; Protection, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: COME, O COME, THOU QUICKENING SPIRIT
