Now that the sun is gleaming bright

Author: J. H. Newman Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #529 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use; General Home and Personal Use; General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is gleaming bright, Implore we, bending low, That He, the uncreated Light, May guide us as we go. 2 No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove, But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. 3 And while the hours in order flow, O Christ, securely fence Our gates, beleaguered by the foe, The gate of every sense. 4 And grant that to Thine honour, Lord, Our daily toil may tend; That we begin it at Thy word, And in Thy favour end.

O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest

Author: C. J. P. Spitta; S. L. Findlater Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #528 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest, Thou loving Friend, and Saviour of our race, And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honour'd place. 2 O happy home, whose two in heart united In holy faith and blessed hope are one, Whom death a little while alone divideth, And cannot end the union here begun! 3 O happy home, whose little ones are given Early to Thee in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care! 4 O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 5 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full and free, O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee, 6 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended, All meet Thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thy everlasting home of peace and love.

Nor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod Of daily toil and woe! Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love! His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow

Author: J. Borthwick Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #543 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest; Cares of today, and burdens of tomorrow, Blessings implored, and sins to be confest; We come before Thee at Thy gracious word, And lay them at Thy feet: Thou knowest, Lord. 2 Thou knowest all the past; how long and blindly On the dark mountains the lost wand'rer strayed; How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly He bore it home, upon His shoulders laid; And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pain, And brought back life, and hope, and strength again. 3 Thou knowest all the present; each temptation, Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear; All to each one assigned, of tribulation, Or to beloved ones, than self more dear; All pensive mem'ries, as we journey on, Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone. 4 Thou knowest all the future; gleams of gladness By stormy clouds too quickly overcast; Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness, And the dark river to be crossed at last. O what could hope and confidence afford To tread that path, but this? Thou knowest, Lord. 5 Thou knowest, not alone as God, all-knowing; As Man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved; On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing, O Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved; And love and sorrow still to Thee may come, And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home. 6 Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet; On everlasting strength our weakness staying, Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete: Then rising and refreshed we leave Thy throne, And follow on to know as we are known.

Ellerton Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #534 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil, and care; And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet these are not the only walls Wherein Thy mayst be sought; On homeliest work Thy blessing falls In truth and patience wrought. 4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, The wealth of land and sea, The worlds of science and of art, Revealed and ruled by Thee. 5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth, In all we do and know; And claim the kingdom of the earth For Thee and not Thy foe. 6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought As Thou wouldst have it done, And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught, Itself with work be one.

Thro' the day Thy love has spared us

Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #535 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thro the day Thy love has spared us, Hear us ere the hour of rest: Thro' the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes; Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose; And, when life's short day is past, Rest with Thee in heaven at last.

Tarry with me, O my Saviour!

Author: C. L. Smith Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #536 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour! For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. 2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest? 3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow; Sinks my heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision, Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer. 4 Let me hear Thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms: Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms. 5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on Thee; Tarry with me through the darkness, While I sleep, still watch by me. 6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour! Lay my head upon Thy breast Till the morning; then awake me! Morning of eternal rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER

Saviour, when night involves the skies

Author: T. Gisborne Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #538 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when night involves the skies, My soul, adoring, turns to Thee; Thee, self-abased in mortal guise, And wrapt in shades of death for me. 2 On Thee my waking raptures dwell, When crimson gleams the east adorn, Thee, Victor of the grave and hell, Thee, source of life's eternal morn. 3 When noon her throne in light arrays, To Thee my soul triumphant springs; Thee, throned in glory's endless blaze, Thee, Lord of lords and King of kings. 4 O'er earth, when shades of ev'ning steal, To death and Thee my tho'ts I give; To death, whose power I soon must feel, To Thee, with Whom I trust to live.

I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be

Author: A. A.

Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine, Through peace to light. Languages: English Tune Title: SUBMISSION

I look to Thee in every need

Author: S. Longfellow Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #541 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 I look to Thee in every need, And never look in vain; I feel Thy strong and tender love, And all is well again: The tho't of Thee is mightier far Than sin and pain and sorrow are. 2 Discouraged in the work of life, Disheartened by its load, Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road; But let me only think of Thee, And then new heart springs up in me. 3 Thy calmness bends serene above, My restlessness to still: Around me flows Thy quickening life, To nerve my faltering will: Thy presence fills my solitude; Thy providence turns all to good. 4 Embosomed deep in Thy dear love, Held in Thy law, I stand; Thy hand in all things I behold, And all things in Thy hand; Thou leadest me by unsought ways, And turn'st my mourning into praise.

Waring Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #542 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God, I will give thanks and sing; My heart is at the secret source Of every precious thing. 2 Now the frail vessel Thou hast made, No hand but Thine shall fill; The waters of the earth have failed, And I am thirsty still. 3 I thirst for springs of heavenly life, And here all day they rise; I seek the treasure of Thy love, And close at hand it lies. 4 And a new song is in my mouth, To long-loved music set; Glory to Thee for all the grace I have not tasted yet. 5 I have a heritage of joy, That yet I must not see; The hand that bled to make it mine Is keeping it for me. 6 There is a certainty of love That sets my heart at rest; A calm assurance for to-day, That to be poor is best; 7 A prayer, reposing on His truth, Who hath made all things mine, That draws my captive will to Him, And makes it one with Thine.

We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: E. Ellis Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #545 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great rock foundation Whereon our feet were set by sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus: other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing: We would not morn them, for we go to Thee. 4 We would see Jesus; yet the the spirit lingers Round the dear objects it has loved so long, And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong. 5 We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. 6 We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. 3 I thank Thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain; That shadows fall on brightest hours; That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. 4 For Thou Who knowest, Lord, how soon Our weak heart clings, Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings; So that we see, gleaming on high, Diviner things. 5 I thank Thee, Lord that Thou has kept The best in store; We have enough, yet not too much To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace, Not known before. 6 I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest, Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus' breast.

Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord

Raffles Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #548 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord, In Thee I put my trust; Encouraged by Thy holy word, A feeble child of dust: I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to Thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain, Ah! what could give the sufferer rest, Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me?

Father, I know that all my life

Waring Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #550 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: But I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles And to wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6 In a service which Thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; For my inmost heart is taught the truth That makes Thy children free; And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty.
