New every morning is the love

Author: J. Keble Hymnal: CHRC1920 #1 (1920) Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Thro' sleep and darkness safely brought Restor'd to life, and pow'r, 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 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 need 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.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Author: Thomas Ken Hymnal: CHRC1920 #2 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and early rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last; Improve thy talent with due care; For the great Day thyself prepare. 3 Let all Thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noonday clear; Think how all-seeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys. 4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the an-gels bear thy part, Who all night long, unwearied, sing High praise to the eternal King. 5 All praise to Thee, Who safe has kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake I may of endless light partake. 6 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Scatter my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 7 Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do, or say; That all my pow'rs, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 8 Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow, Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, angelic host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Come, my soul, thou must be waking!

Author: H. J. Buckoll; F. R. L. Canitz Hymnal: CHRC1920 #3 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thou must be waking! Now is breaking O'er the earth another day: Come, to Him Who made this splendour, See thou render All thy feeble strength can pay. 2 Gladly hail the sun returning, Ready burning Be the incense of thy powers; For the night is safely ended, God hath tended With His care thy helpless hours. 3 Pray that He may prosper ever Each endeavour, When thine aim is good and true; But that He may ever thwart thee, And convert thee, When thou evil would'st pursue. 4 Think that He thy ways beholdeth; He unfoldeth Every fault that lurks within; He the hidden shame glossed over Can discover, And discern each deed of sin. 5 Mayest thou on life's last morrow, Free from sorrow, Pass away in slumber sweet; And, released from death's dark sadness, Rise in gladness, That far brighter Sun to greet. 6 Only God's free gifts abuse not, Light refuse not, But His Spirit's voice obey; Thou with Him shall dwell, behold Light enfolding All things in unclouded day.

Ev'ery morning mercies new

Author: G. Phillimore Hymnal: CHRC1920 #4 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Ev'ry morning mercies new Fall as fresh as morning dew; Ev'ry morning let us pay Tribute with the early day; For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure; Thy compassion doth endure. 2 Still the greatness of Thy love Daily doth our sins remove; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast; Gives unbought, to those who pray, Strength to stand in evil day. 3 Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's power within, Feed us with the Bread of Life; Fit us for our daily strife. 4 As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendour burns, Teach us still to turn to Thee, Every blessed Trinity, With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise.

O Jesus, crucified for man

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: CHRC1920 #5 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, crucified for man, O Lamb, all glorious on Thy throne, Teach Thou our wondering souls to scan The mystery of Thy love unknown. 2 We pray Thee, grant us strength to take Our daily cross, whate'er it be, And gladly for Thine own dear sake In paths of pain to follow Thee. 3 As on our daily way we go, Thro' light or shade, in calm or strife, O may we bear Thy marks below In conquered sin and chastened life. 4 And week by week this day we ask That holy memories of Thy Cross May sanctify each common task, And turn to gain each earthly loss. 5 Grant us, dear Lord, our cross to bear Till at Thy feet we lay it down, Win thro' Thy blood our pardon there, And thro' the cross attain the crown.

The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #7 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows; O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now; Where Thou art present, darkness cannot be, Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end: Onward to darkness and to death we tend: O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide, Be thou our light (dim) in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3 Thou, Who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succours fail: When all is dark (er) may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice, "Fear not, for it is I." 4 The weary world is mouldering to decay, Its glories wane, its pageants fade away; In that last sunset when the stars shall fall, May we arise awakened by Thy call, With Thee, O Lord, for ever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide.

The radiant morn hath pass'd away

Author: G. Thring Hymnal: CHRC1920 #8 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath pass'd away, And spent too soon her golden store; The shadows of departing day Creep on once more. 2 Our life is but a fading dawn, Its glorious noon, how quickly past; Lead us, O Christ, our life-work done, Safe home at last. 3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace Uplift our hearts to realms on high; Help us to look to that bright place Beyond the sky. 4 Where light, and life, and joy, and peace In undivided empire reign, And thronging angels never cease Their deathless strain; 5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white, And evening shadows never fall, Where Thou, eternal Light of Light, Art Lord of all.

The sun is sinking fast

Author: E. Caswall Hymnal: CHRC1920 #10 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies; Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the Cross His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resigned; 3 So now herself my soul Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In Whom all spirits live; 4 So now beneath His eye Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast; 5 Save that His will be done, Whate'er betide; Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside. 6 Thus would I live: yet now Not I, but He, In all His power and love, Henceforth alive in me. 7 One sacred Trinity, One Lord divine, May I be ever His, And He for ever mine.
