An Evening Hymn

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDXCV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God, to thee my evening song Lyrics: 1 Great God, to thee my evening song With humble gratitude I raise, O let thy mercy tune my tongue, And fill my heart with lively praise. 2 My days unclouded, as they pass, And every gentle rolling hour, Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to thy love and power. 3. And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, Too oft regardless of thy love, Ungrateful, can from thee depart, And fond of trifles vainly rove. 4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood Of Jesus: his dear name alone I plead for pardon, gracious God, And kind acceptance at thy throne. 5 Let this blest hope my eye-lids close, With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to thy name.

The Ministry of Angels

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCCVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God, what hosts of angels stand Lyrics: 1 Great God, what hosts of angels stand In shining ranks at thy right hand, Array'd in robes of dazzling light, With pinions stretch'd for distant flight! 2 Immortal fires! seraphic flames! Who can recount their various names? In strength and beauty they excell, For near the throne of God they dwell. 3 How eagerly they wish to know The duties he would have them do. What joy their active spirits feel, To execute their sovereign's will! 4 Hither, at his command they fly, To guard the beds on which we lie; To shield our persons, night and day, And scatter all our fears away. 5 [Against the holy Syrian band Around the helpless prophet stand, While mighty Gabriel downward flies, And with his chariots fills the skies. 6 Herod attempts, but all in vain, To bind a Peter with his chain: At one soft word an angel speaks, And massy chain asunder breaks.] 7 Send, O my God, some angel down, (Tho' to a mortal eye unknown) To guide and guard my doubtless way, Up to the realms of endless day.

Glad plenty laughs, the vallies sing, Reviving commerce lifts her head. 5 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord, All move subservent to thy will; And peace and war await thy word, And thy sublime decrees fulfil. 6 To thee we pay our grateful songs, Thy kind protection still implore? O may our hearts, and lives, and tongues, Confess thy goodness and adore.
