Now from the altar of our hearts

Author: John Mason Hymnal: CBWM1872 #519 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now from the altar of our hearts Let incense flames arise; Assist us, Lord, to offer up Our evening sacrifice. 2 Awake, our love, awake, our joy, Awake, our hearts and tongue: Sleep not when mercies loudly call, Break forth into a song. 3 Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More fleet and free than they. 4 New time, new favors, and new joys, Do a new song require; Till we shall praise Thee as we would, Accept our heart's desire. 5 Lord of our time, whose hand hath set New time upon our score; Thee may we praise for all our time, When time shall be no more!

Sunk is the sun's last beam of light

Author: Francis Elizabeth Cox; Nicholas Hermann, d. 1561 Hymnal: CBWM1872 #521 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sunk is the sun's last beam of light, And now the world is wrapt in night; Christ! light us with Thy heavenly ray, Nor let our feet in darkness stray. 2 Thanks, Lord, that Thou throughout the day Hast kept all grief and harm away; That angels tarried round about Our coming in and going out. 3 Whate'er of wrong we've done or said, Let not the charge on us be laid; That through Thy free forgiveness blest, In peaceful slumber we may rest. 4 Thy guardian angels round us place, All evil from our couch to chase; Our soul and body, while we sleep, In safety, gracious Father, keep.

All praise to Thee, my God, this night

Author: Thomas Ken Hymnal: CBWM1872 #522 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light: Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own Almighty wings! 2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done: That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grace as little as my bed; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day. 4 O when shall I, in endless day For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns divine with angels sing In endless praise to thee, my King? 5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble Hymnal: CBWM1872 #523 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live, Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in Heaven above.

Toplady Hymnal: CBWM1872 #524 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Inspirer and Hearer of prayer, Thou Shepherd and Guardian of Thine, My all to Thy covenant care I, sleeping or waking, resign. 2 If Thou art my Shield and my Sun, The night is no darkness to me; And fast as my minutes roll on, They bring me but nearer to Thee. 3 A sovereign Protector I have, Unseen, yet for ever at hand; Unchangeably faithful to save, Almighty to rule and command. 4 His smiles and His comforts abound, His grace, as the dew,shall descend; And walls of salvation surround The soul He delights to defend.

Shepherd of tender youth

Thou hast prepared the feast Of holy love; And in our mortal pain None calls on Thee in vain: Help Thou dost not disdain, Help from above. 4 Ever be near our side, Our Shepherd and our Guide, Our staff and song: Jesus, Thou Christ of God, By Thine enduring Word, Lead us where Thou hast trod; Make our faith strong. 5 So now, and till we die, Sound we Thy praises high, And joyful sing: Let all the holy throng Who to Thy Church belong, Unite to swell the song To Christ our King!

When, His salvation bringing

Author: Joshua King Hymnal: CBWM1872 #527 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His Name. Nor did their zeal offend Him, But as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Zion's heavenly hill; We'll flock around His banner Who sits upon the throne, And cry aloud "Hosanna To David's royal Son." 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Might well hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They, too, shall be the Lord's.

Jesus, when a little Child

Hymnal: CBWM1872 #528 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, when a little Child, Taught us what we ought to be; Holy, harmless, undefiled, Was the Saviour's infancy; All the Father's glory shone In the person of His Son. 2 As in age and strength He grew, Heavenly wisdom filled His breast; Crowds attentive round Him drew, Wondering at their infant Guest; Gazed upon His lovely face, Saw Him full of truth and grace. 3 In His heavenly Father's house, Jesus spent His early days; There He paid His solemn vows, There proclaimed His Father's praise; Thus it was His lot to gain Favor both with God and man. 4 Father, guide our steps aright In the way that Jesus trod; May it be our great delight To obey Thy will, O God! Then to us shall soon be given Endless bliss with Christ in heaven. Topics: Children; Epiphany, First Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: RUPERTI
