Even-Song

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #556 (1866) First Line: Be near us, O Father! through night's silent hour Lyrics: Be near us, O Father! through night’s silent hour; Impart to our slumbers Thy calmness divine; Drop rest on our lids like the dew on the flower, That even our still sleep may have something of Thine. O watch o’er our couch; drive the tempter away; From the sins that corrupt and betray keep us free; That nor fancy shall wander, nor passion shall stray, And we dream not a thought that’s displeasing to Thee. And grant, when deep sleep o’er our senses shall close, That the heart may still watch, all unclouded and clear; Guard, guard still Thy children; and bless the repose That, stainless of sin, is untouched by a fear. Then still to Thee, Father, our praises we pay; Still to Thee we will offer love’s infinite store; Send down Thy pure spirit, even now while we pray; Be with us, and keep us, and bless, evermore!

The House of God

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #4 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Be still! be still! for all around Lyrics: Be still! be still! for all around, On either hand, is holy ground: Here in His house, the Lord to-day Will listen, while His people pray. Thou, tost upon the waves of care, Ready to sink with deep despair, Here ask relief, with heart sincere, And thou shalt find that God is here. Thou who hast laid within the grave Those whom thou hadst no power to save, Believe their spirits now are near, For angels wait while God is here. Thou who hast dear ones far away, In foreign lands, ’mid ocean’s spray, Pray for them now, and dry the tear, And trust the God who listens here. Thou who art mourning o’er thy sin, Deploring guilt that reigns within, The God of peace is ever near; The troubled spirit meets Him here. Languages: English

Trust in God

Author: Newton Hymnal: BHPPD866 #323 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Be still, my heart! these anxious cares Lyrics: Be still, my heart! these anxious cares To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares, They cast dishonor on thy Lord, And contradict His gracious word. Brought safely by His hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear? How canst thou want if He provide, Or lose thy way with such a guide? Did ever trouble yet befall, And He refuse to hear thy call? And has He not His promise past, That thou shalt overcome at last? He who has helped me hitherto Will help me all my journey through, And give me daily cause to raise New trophies to His endless praise. Languages: English

Morning Hymn

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #551 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Be Thou, O God, by night, by day Lyrics: Be Thou, O God, by night, by day, My guard, my guide from sin, My life, my trust, my light divine, To keep me pure within. Pure as the air, when day’s first light A cloudless sky illumes, And active as the lark that soars Till heaven shines round its plumes. So may my soul, upon the wings Of faith, unwearied rise, Till at the gate of heaven it sings, ’Midst light from Paradise. Languages: English

Through Cross to Light

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #532 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Bear on, my soul! the bitter cross Lyrics: Bear on, my soul! the bitter cross Of every trial here Shall lift thee to thy heaven above, But shall not enter there. Bear on, my soul! on God rely; Deliverance will come; A thousand ways the Father hath To bring His children home. And Thou, my heavenly Friend and Guide, Hast kindly led me on; Taught me to rest my fainting head Upon Thy heart alone. So comforted and so sustained, With dark events I strove, And found, when rightly understood, All, messengers of love. Languages: English

Hundredth Psalm

Author: Watts Hymnal: BHPPD866 #18 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. His sovereign power, without our aid, Gave life to clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name? We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love, Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Languages: English

So sin shall cease to reign, So safety shall be nigh; Rend, spirit blest, the heavy chains Of death, in victory! Languages: English

No royal pomp adorns This King of Righteousness; Meekness and patience, truth and love, Compose his princely dress. The Spirit of the Lord, In rich abundance shed, On this great prophet gently lights, And rests upon his head. Jesus, the light of men! His doctrine life imparts; O, may we feel its quickening power To warm and glad our hearts! Cheered by its beams, our souls Shall run the heavenly way; The path which Christ has marked and trod Will lead to endless day. Languages: English

Christianity

Author: Moore Hymnal: BHPPD866 #170 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Behold the sun, how bright Lyrics: Behold the sun, how bright From yonder east he springs, As if the soul of life and light Were breathing from his wings. So bright the gospel broke Upon the souls of men; So fresh the dreaming world awoke In truth’s full radiance then. Before yon sun arose, Stars clustered through the sky; But, O, how dim, how pale, were those, To his one burning eye! So truth lent many a ray, To bless the Pagan’s night; But, Lord, how faint, how cold, were they, To Thy one glorious light! Languages: English

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #564 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Beneath the shadow of the cross Lyrics: Beneath the shadow of the cross, As earthly hopes remove, His new commandment Jesus gives, His blessed word of love. O bond of union, strong and deep! O bond of perfect peace! Not even the lifted cross can harm, If we but hold to this. Then, Jesus, be thy spirit ours! And swift our feet shall move To deeds of pure self-sacrifice, “And the sweet tasks of love.” Languages: English
