My God, how endless is thy love!

Once more, my soul, the rising day

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 459 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day Salutes thy waking eye; Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay To Him who rules on high. 2 Night unto night his name repeats, The day renews the sound, Wide as the heavens on which he sits To turn the seasons round. 3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame; My tongue shall speak his praise: My sins might rouse his wrath to flame, But yet his wrath delays. 4 O God, let all my hours be thine, While I enjoy the light; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a peaceful night.

Doane Appears in 895 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon our sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, we would commune with thee. 2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon from us the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take us, Lord, to dwell with thee.

Thus far the Lord hath led me on

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on; Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, And gives me strength for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 4 Thus if the night of death should come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to break my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.
