O Blest the House, Whate'er Befall

Author: Christoph Carl Ludwig von Pfeil Hymnal: HOoS1926 #531 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O blest the house, whate'er befall, Where Jesus Christ is All in all; Yea, if He were not dwelling there, How poor and dark and void it were! 2 O blest that house where faith ye find And all within have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still, And do in all His holy will. 3 O blest the parents who give heed Unto their children's foremost need, And weary not of care or cost: To them and heaven shall none be lost. 4 Blest such a house, it prospers well, In peace and joy the parents dwell, And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine to-day A solemn covenant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy Word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

From Peaceful Slumber Waking

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Hymnal: HOoS1926 #537 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 From peaceful slumber waking, We sing, O Lord, Thy praise. When o'er the world is breaking Another day of grace-- A day that soon shall perish, As yesterdays are past-- O, teach us, then, to cherish Each moment as our last. 2 Farther of light and beauty, The light divine us send To see and do our duty, Lest when this day shall end Our conscience doth accuse us Of sin and trespass done, And shame our face suffuses At blush of setting sun. 3 Give God thy heart, thy labor, Walk in thy Saviour's grace, And be unto thy neighbor A present help always: The Name of Christ we hallow Not by our faith alone; If we His path would follow, His will through us be done. 4 Blest be each faithful servant, Whene'er the Lord shall come; The dutiful and fervent He taketh to His home, To share with Him in glory What eye hath not beheld, Nor tongue hath told in story, Nor mortal heart hath held. Amen. Topics: Family Life Prayers; Morning Languages: English Tune Title: CHISAGO

Now That the Daylight Fills the Sky

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #538 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky, We lift our hearts to God on high, That He, in all we do or say, Would keep us free from harm to-day; 2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife, From anger's din would hide our life, From all ill sights would turn our eyes, And close our ears to vanities; 3 Would keep our inmost conscience pure, Our souls from folly would secure, Would bid us check the pride of sense With due and holy abstinence; 4 So we, when this new day is gone, And night in turn is drawing on, With conscience by the world unstained, Shall praise His Name for victory gained. Amen. Topics: Family Life Prayers; Morning Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
