O Splendor of God's glory bright

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930; St. Ambrose, 340 - 97 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #206b (1958) Person Name: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930 Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright, O thou who bringest light from Light, O Light of light, light's living spring, O Day, all days illumining! 2 O thou true Sun, on us thy glance Let fall in royal radiance; The Spirit’s sanctifying beam Upon our earthly senses stream. 3 The Father, too, our prayers implore, Father of glory evermore, The Father of all grace and might, To banish sin from our delight. A-men. 4 To guide whate’er we nobly do, With love all envy to subdue, To make ill-fortune turn to fair, And give us grace our wrongs to bear. 5 Rejoicing may this day go hence; Like virgin dawn our innocence, Like fiery noon our faith appear, Nor known the gloom of twilight drear. 6 Morn in her rosy car is borne; Let him come forth, our perfect morn, The Word in God the Father one, The Father perfect in the Son. 7 All laud to God the Father be; All praise, eternal Son, to thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - Morning Tune Title: WALTON (GERMANY)

A-men. 3 To thee of right belongs All praise of holy songs, O Son of God, lifegiver; Thee, therefore, O most high, The world doth glorify, And shall exalt for ever. Amen.

The duteous day now closeth

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930; Paul Gerhardt, 1607 - 76 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #228 (1958) Person Name: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth, Each flower and tree reposeth, Shade creeps o’er wild and wood: Let us, as night is falling, On God our Maker calling, Give thanks to him, the Giver good. 2 Now all the heavenly splendor Breaks forth in starlight tender From myriad worlds unknown; And man, the marvel seeing, Forgets his selfish being, For joy of beauty not his own. 3 His care he drowneth yonder, Lost in the abyss of wonder; To heaven his soul doth steal: This life he disesteemeth, The day it is that dreameth, That doth from truth his vision seal. 4 Awhile his mortal blindness May miss God’s loving-kindness, And grope in faithless strife: But when life’s day is over Shall death’s fair night discover The fields of everlasting life.

When morning gilds the skies

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #416 (1958) Person Name: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930 Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries, May Jesus Christ be praised. When evening shadows fall, This rings my curfew call, May Jesus Christ be praised. 2 When mirth for music longs, This is my song of songs, May Jesus Christ be praised. God’s holy house of prayer Hath none that can compare With 'Jesus Christ be praised.'A-men. 3 To him, my highest and best, Sing I, when love-possest, May Jesus Christ be praised. Whate'er my hands begin, This blessing breaketh in, May Jesus Christ be praised. 4 No lovelier antiphon In all high heaven is known Than 'Jesus Christ be praised.' There to the eternal Word The eternal psalm is heard, 'O Jesus Christ be praised.' 5 Ye nations of mankind, In this your concord find, May Jesus Christ be praised. Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound, May Jesus Christ be praised. 6 Sing, suns and stars of space, Sing, ye that see his face, Sing, 'Jesus Christ be praised.' God’s whole creation o'er, For aye and evermore Shall Jesus Christ be praised. Amen.

And now, O Father, mindful of the love

Author: William Bright, 1824 - 1901 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #278 (1958) Person Name: William Bright, 1824 - 1901 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love That bought us, once for all, on Calvary's Tree, And having with us him that pleads above, We here present, we here spread forth to thee That only offering perfect in thine eyes, The one true, pure, immortal sacrifice. 2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face, And only look on us as found in him; Look not on our misusings of thy grace, Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim: For lo, between our sins and their reward We set the Passion of thy Son our Lord. A-men. 3 And then for those, our dearest and our best, By this prevailing presence we appeal; O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast, O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal: From tainting mischief keep them white and clear, And crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. 4 And so we come; O draw us to thy feet, Most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; And by this food, so aweful and so sweet, Deliver us from every touch of ill: In thine own service make us glad and free, And grant us never more to part with thee. Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES

Let the whole creation cry

Author: Stopford A. Brooke, 1832-1916 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #414 (1958) Person Name: Stopford A. Brooke, 1832-1916 Lyrics: 1 Let the whole creation cry, 'Glory to the Lord on high!' Heaven and earth awake and sing, 'God is good and therefore King!' Praise him, all ye hosts above, Ever bright and fair in love; Sun and moon, lift up your voice, Night and stars, in God rejoice! 2 Warriors fighting for the Lord, Prophets burning with his word, Those to whom the arts belong, Add their voices to the song. Kings of knowledge and of law, To the glorious circle draw; All who work and all who wait, Sing, 'The Lord is good and great!' 3 Men and women, young and old, Raise the anthem manifold, And let children's happy hearts In this worship bear their parts; From the north to southern pole Let the mighty chorus roll: 'Holy, holy, holy One, Glory be to God alone!'
