For God’s Presence

Author: H. Ware, Jr Hymnal: BHPPD866 #41 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father in heaven, to whom our hearts Lyrics: Father in heaven, to whom our hearts Would lift themselves in prayer, Drive from our souls each earthly thought, And show Thy presence there. Each moment of our lives renews The mercies of the Lord; Each moment is itself a gift To bear us on to God. Help us to break the galling chains This world has round us thrown; Each passion of our hearts subdue, Each cherished sin disown. O Father! kindle in our souls A never-dying flame Of holy love, of grateful trust, In Thine almighty name. Languages: English

For Divine Strength

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #33 (1866) First Line: Father, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling Lyrics: Father, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling, Fain would our souls feel all Thy kindling love; For we are weak, and need some deep revealing Of Trust and Strength and Calmness from above. Lord, we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow, And Thou hast made each step an onward one; And we will ever trust each unknown morrow,— Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done. In the heart’s depths a peace serene and holy Abides, and when pain seems to have her will, Or we despair,—O, may that peace rise slowly, Stronger than agony, and we be still! Now, Father, now, in Thy dear presence kneeling, Our spirits yearn to feel Thy kindling love; Now make us strong, we need Thy deep revealing Of Trust and Strength and Calmness from above.

Marriage Hymn

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #381 (1866) First Line: Father, in Thy presence now Lyrics: Father, in Thy presence now Has been pledged the nuptial vow; Heart to heart, as hand in hand, Linked in one Thy children stand.

May these blended souls be found Firm in duty’s active round; Daily every burden share, Nightly seek Thy shadowing care. When against their trembling forms Shoot the arrows of life’s storms; Or when age and sickness wait Heralds at life’s parting gate;— In the fulness of belief, May they look beyond the grief; And together fearless tread In the path where Thou shall lead.

Thanksgiving Hymn

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #567 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Father of mercies! God of peace! Lyrics: Father of mercies! God of peace! Being whose bounties never cease! While to the heavens, in grateful tones, Ascend our mingled orisons, Listen to these, the notes of praise, Which we, a happy people, raise! Our hamlets, sheltered by Thy care, Abodes of peace and plenty are; Our tillage by Thy blessing yields An hundred fold from ripened fields: And flowing grain, and burthened vine, Are tokens of Thy Love divine. The cradled head of infancy Doth owe its tranquil rest to Thee; Youth’s doubting step, man’s firmer tread, In years mature, by Thee are led; Secure may trembling age, oh Lord! Lean on its staff, Thy holy Word. Teach us these blessings to improve, Teach us to serve Thee, teach to love; Exalt our hearts, that we may see The Giver of all good in Thee; And be Thy word our daily food, Thy service, Lord, our greatest good.

A sinless mind in me reveal, Thy spirit’s fulness, Lord, impart! Till all my spotless life shall tell The abundance of a loving heart. So shall I own Thy perfect sway, And, sitting humbly at Thy feet, Thy law with all my heart obey, And all my soul to Thee submit. Languages: English

Vespers

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #553 (1866) First Line: Father supreme! Thou high and holy One Lyrics: Father supreme! Thou high and holy One, To Thee we bow; Now, when the labor of the day is done, Devoutly, now. From age to age unchanging, still the same All-good Thou art; Hallowed forever be Thy reverend name In every heart! When the glad morn upon the hills was spread, Thy smile was there; Now, as the darkness gathers overhead, We feel Thy care. Night spreads her shade upon another day Forever past; So o’er our faults, Thy love, we humbly pray A veil may cast. Silence and sleep, o’er hearts by earth distrest, Now sweetly steal; So every fear that struggles in the breast Shall faith conceal. Thou through the dark will watch above our sleep With eye of love; And Thou wilt wake us, when the sunbeams leap The hills above. O, may each heart its gratitude express As life expands, And find the triumph of its happiness In Thy commands! Languages: English
