The Lord's Day

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #421 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Another six days' work is done Lyrics: 1 Another six day's work is done, Another Lord's-day is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest; Improve the day thy God has blest. 2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to wearied minds; Provides an antepast of heav'n, And gives this day the food of sev'n. 3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise, As grateful incense, to the skies; And draw from heav'n that sweet repose, Which none, but he that feels it, knows. 4 With joy, Great God! thy works we view In various scenes both old and new; With praise we think on mercies past, With hope we future pleasures taste. 5 In holy duties let the day In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet, this day of rest to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

Safely thro' another week

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #422 (1845) Lyrics: 1 Safely thro' another week, God has brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek, Waiting in his courts to-day. Day of all the week the best; Emblem of eternal rest! 2 While we seek supplies of grace, Through the dear Redeemer's name, Show thy reconciling face-- Take away our sins and shame: From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in thee. 3 Here we're come, thy name to praise; Let us feel thy presence near: May thy glory meet our eyes, While we in thy house appear: Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast. 4 May thy gospel's joyful sound Conquer sinners, comfort saints; May the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief for all complaints. Thus let ev'ry Lord's-day prove, Till we join the church above. Topics: Special Occasions Morning and Evening Languages: English

An Evening Hymn

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #423 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Another fleeting day is gone Lyrics: 1 Another fleeting day is gone, Slow o'er the west the shadows rise; Swift the soft stealing hours have flown, And night's dark mantle veils the skies. 2 Another fleeting day is gone, Swept from the records of the year; And still with each successive sun, Life's fading visions disappear. 3 Another fleeting day is gone, To tell thy secrets, O my soul; Faithful before th'eternal throne Thy slightest folly 'twill enroll. 4 Another fleeting day is gone, To join the fugitives before: And I, when life's employ is done, Shall sleep, to wake in time no more. 5 Another fleeting day is gone, And soon a fairer day shall rise; A day, whose never-setting sun, Shall pour his light o'er cloudless skies. 6 Another fleeting day is gone, In solemn silence rest, my soul; Bend--bend before his awful throne, Who bids the morn and evening roll!

And in the morning may I bear Thy loving kindness on my heart! Topics: Special Occasions Morning and Evening Languages: English

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #427 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear, Oh, may I ever keep in mind, The night of death draws near. 2 I lay my garments by, Upon my bed to rest; So death will soon remove me hence, And leave my soul undrest. 3 Lord, keep me safe this night, Secure from all my fears; May angels guard me while I sleep, Till morning light appears. 4 And when I early rise, To view th'unwearied sun, May I set out to win the prize, And after glory run: 5 That when my days are past, And I from time remove, Lord, I may in thy bosom rest, The bosom of thy love.

Hope in Sickness

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #429 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord! I am pain'd; but I resign Lyrics: 1 Lord! I am pain'd; but I resign My body to thy will; 'Tis grace, 'tis wisdom all divine Appoints the pains I feel. 2 Dark are the ways of providence, When those who love thee groan: The reasons lie conceal'd from sense, Mysterious and unknown. 3 Yet nature may have leave to speak, And plead before her God, Lest the o'er burden'd heart should break Beneath thine heavy rod. 4 The mournful groans and flowing tears, Give my poor spirit ease; While every groan my Father hears; And every tear he sees. 5 Is not some smiling hour at hand, With peace upon its wings; Give it, O God thy swift command, With all the joys it brings!

Sick bed Devotion; or, Pleading without repining

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #430 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: God of my life, look gently down Lyrics: 1 God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. 2 Diseases are thy servants, Lord, They come at thy command; I'll not attempt a murmuring word Against thy chastening hand. 3 Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. 4 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty's lost. 5 I'm but a sojourner below, As all my fathers were, May I be well prepar'd to go When I the summons hear. 6 But if my life be spar'd a while, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my business still, And I'll declare thy love.
