Salutes thy waking eye;

The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heav'ns on which He sits
To turn the seasons round.

While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a peaceful night. Used With Tune: LITCHFIELD

Of the universe, thy home,
Gather us, who seek Thy face,
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh. [Chorus]

Heart of Love, enfold us all;
Thro' the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil thy face,
Our hearts ascend. [Chorus]

Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Chorus]

How tedious and tasteless the hours
Author: John Newton Appears in 647 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me;
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
The fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in him,
December's as pleasant as May.
2 His name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music his voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice:
I should, were he always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.
3 My Lord, if indeed I am thine,
If thou art my Sun and my Song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky,
Thy soul-cheering presence restore;
Or take me to thee up on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more. Used With Tune: CONTRAST
How tedious and tasteless the hours
As the hart, with eager looks
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 As the hart, with eager looks,
Panteth for the water-brooks,
So my soul, athirst for thee,
Pants the living God to see;
2 Why art thou cast down, my soul?
God, thy God, shall make thee whole;
Why art thou disquieted?
God shall lift thy fallen head.
3 When, O, when, with filial fear,
Lord, to thee my soul draws near,
Let thy countenance benign
Be the saving health of mine. Used With Tune: DURHAM
As the hart, with eager looks
