The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: Liturgy of the Hours Hymns for Evening Prayer Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at your behest;
To you our morning hymns ascended,
Your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank you that your Church, unsleeping
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world its watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 Across each continent and island
As dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
Your friends beneath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Your wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; your throne shall never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass away:
Your kingdom stands and grows for ever,
Till all your creatures own your sway. Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

God, Whose Almighty Word
Author: John Marriott, 178-1825 Appears in 449 hymnals Topics: Liturgy of the Hours Hymns for Morning Prayer Lyrics: 1 God, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the Gospel day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Savior, who came to give
Those who in darkness live
Healing and sight,
Help those who seek to find,
Heal those whose hearts are blind,
And in each humble mind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life giving, holy dove,
Speed forth your flight;
Move on the water's face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4 Holy and blessed Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might;
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the earth far and wide
Let there be light! Used With Tune: MOSCOW Text Sources: Evangelical Magazine, June, 1825, alt.

Author: Henry van Dyke, 1852-1933 Appears in 273 hymnals Topics: Liturgy of the Hours Hymns for Morning Prayer Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore you,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before you,
Op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
2 All your works with joy surround you,
Earth and heav'n reflect your rays,
Stars and angels sing around you,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Praising you eternally!
3 Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
God Creator, Christ Redeemer,
Let your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life. Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You

Their voice in hymns of praise:

In joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air, and sea, and sky,
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day,
When from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

To Christ our loving king:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised! Used With Tune: LAUDES DOMINI Text Sources: Würzburg Katholisches Gesangbuch, 1828; Tr.: Masque of Mary, 1858; alt.
