New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 360 hymnals 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, around us hover 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 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, as more of heaven in each we see; some softening gleam of love and prayer shall dawn on every cross and care. 5 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. 6 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love, fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

Lord, I Deserve Thy Deepest Wrath

Author: Basil Manly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, I deserve Thy deepest wrath, ungrateful, faithless I have been; no terrors have my soul deterred, nor goodness wooed me from my sin. 2 My heart is vile, my mind depraved, my flesh rebels against Thy will; I am polluted in Thy sight, yet, Lord, have mercy on me still! 3 Without defense to Thee I look, to Thee the only Savior fly; without a hope, without a friend, in deep distress to Thee I cry. 4 Speak peace to me, my sins forgive, dwell Thou within my heart, O God; the guilt and pow’r of sin remove, and fit me for Thy blest abode.
