Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #543 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only light, Sun of righteousness, arise, Triumph o'er the shades of night; Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day's return, Till Thy mercy's beams I see; Till Thou inward light impart, Glad my eyes and warm my heart. 3 Visit, then, this soul of mine; Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; Fill me, radiancy-divine; Scatter all my unbelief: More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day.

God, who madest earth and heaven

Author: H. Albert Hymnal: LHPN1913 #544 (1913) 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, All things wake at Thy command, Held in being by Thy hand. 2 God, I thank Thee, in Thy keeping Safely have I slumbered here; Thou hast guarded me while sleeping From all danger, pain, and fear; And the cunning evil foe Hath not wrought my overthrow. 3 Let the night of sin that shrouded All my life, with this depart; Shine on me with beams unclouded; Jesus, I Thy loving heart Are my help and hope alone, For the evil I have done. 4 Help me as the morn is breaking, In the spirit to arise, So from careless sloth awaking, That when o'er the aged skies Shall the morn of doom appear, I may see it, free from fear. 5 Lead me, and forsake me never, Guide my wanderings by Thy word: As Thou hast been, be Thou ever My defense, my refuge, Lord. Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful guardian be! 6 O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand: All the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command; Thou my boast, my strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine. 7 Thus afresh with each new morning Save me from the power of sin, Hourly let me feel thy warning Ruling, prompting all within, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.

Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom

Author: J. H. Newman; E. H. Bickersteth Hymnal: LHPN1913 #546 (1913) Meter: 10.4.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet! I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day; and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on. O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, Till the night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. 4 Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod, Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith, Home to my God, To rest forever after earthly strife In the calm light of everlasting life.

Now is breaking O'er the earth another day: Come, to Him who made this splendor, See thou render All thy feeble strength can pay. 2 Gladly hail the sun returning: Ready burning Be the incense of thy powers: For the night is safely ended; God hath tended With His care thy helpless hours. 3 Pray that He may prosper ever Each endeavor, When thine aim is good and true; But that He may ever thwart thee, And convert thee, When thou evil wouldst pursue. 4 Only God's free gifts abuse not, Light refuse not, But His Spirit's voice obey; Thou with Him shall dwell, beholding Light enfolding All things in unclouded day. 7 Glory, honor, exaltation, Adoration, Be to the eternal One: To the Father, Son, and Spirit Laud and merit, While unending ages run.

Dayspring of eternity

Author: Chr. K. von Rosenroth Hymnal: LHPN1913 #548 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.3 Lyrics: 1 Dayspring of eternity, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night. 2 Let Thy grace, like morning dew, Fall on hearts in Thee confiding; Thy sweet comfort, ever new, Fill our souls with strength abiding, And Thy quickening eyes behold Thy dear fold. 3 Give the flame of love, to burn Till the bands of sin it breaketh,-- Till, at each new day's return, Purer light my soul awaketh: O ere twilight come, let me Rise to Thee. 4 Thou who hast gone up on high, Grant that, when Thy trumpet soundeth, When with glory, in the sky, Thee Thy cloud of saints surroundeth,-- We may stand among Thine own, Round Thy throne. 5 Light us to the golden shore, O Thou rising Sun of morning! Lead where tears shall flow no more, Where all sighs to songs are turning, Where Thy glory sheds alway Perfect day.

Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Mrs. H. B. Stowe Hymnal: LHPN1913 #549 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee! 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee, in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath the wings o’ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee!

When, streaming from the eastern skies

Author: William Shrubsole Hymnal: LHPN1913 #550 (1913) Lyrics: 1 When, streaming from the eastern skies, The morning light salutes mine eyes, O Sun of righteousness divine, On me with beams of mercy shine; Chase the dark clouds of guilt away, And turn my darkness into day. 2 As every day Thy mercy spares, Will bring its trials and its cares, O Savior, till my life shall end, Be Thou my counselor and friend! Teach me Thy precepts all divine, And be Thy great example mine. 3 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pardoning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Savior, while I rest; And as each morning sun shall rise, O lead me onward to the skies! 4 And at my life's last setting sun, My conflicts o'er, my labors done, Jesus, Thy heavenly radiance shed, To cheer and bless my dying bed; Then from death's gloom my spirit raise, To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.

Now rest beneath night's shadow

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #551 (1913) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow The woodland, field, and meadow, The world in slumber lies; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer and song betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise. 2 To rest my body hasteth, Aside its garments casteth-- Types of mortality; These I put off, and ponder How Christ will give me yonder A robe of glorious majesty. 3 Ye weary limbs, now rest you, For toil hath sore oppressed you, And quiet sleep ye crave; A sleep shall once o'ertake you From which no man can wake you, In your last, narrow bed--the grave. 4 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, O spread Thy wings above me, And shield me from alarm! Though Satan would devour me, Let angel-guards sing o'er me: This child of God shall meet no harm. 5 My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From perils guard your heads; Sweet slumbers may He send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And through the night watch o’er your beds.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: LHPN1913 #552 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance, I beg, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come, not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for evrry plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies, Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
