Work, for the Night Is Coming
Author: Annie. L. Coghill, 1836-1906 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,168 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 100:2 Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling:
Work mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter;
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor:
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er. Topics: The Christian Life Struggle and Guidance; Cross; Discipleship Used With Tune: WORK SONG
Work, for the Night Is Coming
When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Addison Appears in 999 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 100 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
Unnumbered comforts on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
2 When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
3 Through every period of my life,
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
Through all eternity, to thee
A joyful song I'll raise:
But oh, eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude
When all thy mercies, O my God

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Author: Rouse's Version Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 570 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 100 Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
3 My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
5 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes:
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

shall surely follow me:
And in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Topics: General Praise; Psalm 23

Great God, to Thee My Evening Song
With songs and honors sounding loud
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 279 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 100 Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens he spreads his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
2 He sends his showers of blessings down,
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
3 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
5 He sends his word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
6 When from his dreadful stores on high
He pours the sounding hail,
The wretch that dares his God defy,
Shall find his courage fail.
7 The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey his mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Providence; In the Seasons
With songs and honors sounding loud
Blest Be the Dear Uniting Love
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 271 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 100:3 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the dear uniting love
That will not let us part;
Our bodies may far off remove,
We still are one in heart.
2 Joined in one spirit to our Head;
Where He appoints we go;
And still in Jesus' footsteps tread,
And show His praise below.
3 O may we ever walk in Him,
And nothing know beside,
Nothing desire nothing esteem,
But Jesus crucified!
4 Closer and closer let us cleave
To His beloved embrace;
Expect His fulness to receive,
And grace to answer grace.
5 Partakers of the Savior's grace,
The same in mind and heart.
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part. Topics: The Living Church Christian Fellowship; Fellowship; Loyalty Used With Tune: COVENTRY
