O love divine and golden

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: LHPN1913 #533 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O love divine and golden, Mysterious depth and height, To Thee the world beholden, Looks up for life and light; O love divine and gentle, The blesser and the blest, Beneath thy care parental The world lies down in rest. 2 O love divine and tender, That through our homes dost move, Veiled in the softened splendor O holy household love. A throne without thy blessing Were labor without rest, And cottages possessing Thy blessedness, are blest. 3 God bless these hands, united; God bless these hearts made one! Unsevered and unblighted May they through life go on,-- Here in earth’s home preparing For the bright home above, And there forever sharing Its joy where God is love.

O Father all creating

Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: LHPN1913 #534 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Father all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and power First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, Today to these Thy children Thine earliest gifts renew,-- A home by Thee made happy, A love by Thee kept true. 2 O Savior, guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee, Vouchsafe today Thy presence With these who call on Thee; Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heavenly wine, And teach them, in the tasting, To know the gift is Thine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in Thy pureness, So tender in Thy love; That guarded by Thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own Thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by Thee. 4 Except Thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except Thou, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain; But naught can break the marriage Of hearts in Thee made one, And love Thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun.

Crown with Thy benediction

Author: J. B. Greenwood, b. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #535 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Crown with Thy benediction This covenant of love; And make this hallowed union Foretaste of heaven above: Let pure and perfect gladness, Let pure and perfect rest, And peace that know no sadness, Thy presence, Lord, attest. 2 As once in Eden's springtime, As once at Cana's feast, So consecrate this bridal-- Be thou its guest and priest! With sunshine wreathe the altar, Chase every cloud away, Nor let their voices falter Who plight their troth today. 3 God bless the bride and bridegroom, And fill with joy their life; Keep them, through all its changes, True husband, faithful wife! If Thou wilt smile upon them, They shall not need the sun; This thought their hearts rejoicing-- Henceforth, not twain but one. 4 With Thy great love befriend them, The love that casts out fear; And make a rainbow round them For every falling tear: Till, all their sheaves well-garnered, Heaven's harvest home they raise, Where love, that knows no ending, Inspires more perfect praise.

Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast

Author: Adelaide Thrupp Hymnal: LHPN1913 #536 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast Didst as a guest appear, Thou dearer far than earthly guest, Vouchsafe Thy presence here; For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. 2 The holiest vow that man can make, The golden thread in life, The bond that none may dare to break, That bindeth man and wife; Which, blessed by Thee, whate’er betides, No evil shall destroy, Through care-worn days each care divides, And doubles every joy. 3 On those, who now before Thee kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other’s zeal To love Thee more and more: O grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above.

Ken Hymnal: LHPN1913 #539 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Thy precious time misspent, redeem; Each present day thy last esteem; Improve thy talent with due care, For the great day thyself prepare. 3 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part, Who all night long, unwearied, sing, High praise to the eternal King. 4 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept, Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake. 5 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Disperse my sins, as morning dew, Guard my first springs of thought and will; And with Thyself my spirit fill. 6 Direct, control, suggest this day, All I design, or do, or say; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite.

Now that the daylight fills the sky

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #541 (1913) 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.

My heart its incense burning

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #542 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My heart its incense burning, I'll offer thanks and praise, Now, with return of morning, And through all future days; I'll praise Thee on thy throne, Great Source of every blessing, My song to Thee addressing Through Christ, Thy only Son. 2 Thy mercy claims my praises! This kept me through the night; And now from sleep it raises, To greet the dawning light. This, too, it is that hath My many sins forgiven, Which, in the face of heaven, So oft provoked thy wrath. 3 In mercy still direct me Throughout the coming day: From Satan's wiles protect me, From sin, and from dismay: Defend from fire and storm, From want and every weakness, From sorrows and from sickness, From sudden death's alarm. 4 Let angels keep their stations, Nor cease their guard of me, Averting all temptations Which draw my soul from thee Thy shield hold thou above! Then nothing shall distress me, To duty I'll address me, Rejoicing in Thy love! Topics: Family Prayer Morning; Family Prayer Morning; Angels Tune Title: [My heart its incense burning]
