New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #214b (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God in daily living Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray, -- new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If, on our daily course, our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we ought to ask, -- room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Prepare, O Lord, in your dear love, for perfect life with you above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

Pause. 6 Lord, since in my advancing age I've acted on life's busy stage, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount. 7 I could survey the ocean o'er, And count each sand that makes the shore, Before my swiftest thoughts could trace The numerous wonders of thy grace. 8 These on my heart are still imprest, With these I give my eyes to rest; And at my waking hour I find God and his love possess my mind.

It may not be our lot to wield

Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #363 (1917) Topics: Daily Duty; Daily Duty; Faithfulness To Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 It may not be our lot to wield The sickle in the ripened field; Nor ours to hear, on summer eves, The reaper's song among the sheaves. 2 Yet where our duty's task is wrought In unison with God's great thought, The near and future blend in one, And whatsoe'er is willed, is done. 3 And ours the grateful service whence Comes, day by day, the recompense; The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed, The fountain, and the noonday shade. 4 And were this life the utmost span, The only end and aim of man, Better the toil of fields like these Than waking dream and slothful ease. 5 But life, though falling like our grain, Like that revives and springs again; And, early called, how blest are they Who wait in heaven their harvest day!

A band of hard-pressed men are we

Author: Edwin Gilbert, 1859- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #365 (1917) Topics: Daily Toil Lyrics: 1 A band of hard-pressed men are we, Who find life's pathway rough to tread; Together, Lord, we come to Thee, And in Thy presence bow the head. 2 We bring our week of life to Thee, All soiled, and worn, and marred with sin; Thine eyes of holy love can see Each tempted life without, within. 3 We bring our bitterness of heart, Our hate and want of charity; We fain would choose the better part, And learn to love, dear Lord, like Thee. 4 We bring our care for daily bread, The fear that turns the heart to stone; We cry to Thee; lift up our head And show us we are not alone. 5 We bring the faith that over all, Though faint and feeble, flickers still; Increase it, Lord, that at Thy call We may our daily task fulfil. 6 Lord, make us pure; enrich our life With heavenly love for evermore; Give us Thy strength to face the strife, And serve Thee better than before.
