Once More, My Soul, the Rising Day

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 459 hymnals First Line: Once more my soul, the rising day Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day Salutes thy waking eyes; Once more, my voice thy tribute pay To Him that rules the skies. 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, And 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 pleasant night. Amen.

Come, let us to the Lord our God

Author: John Morison Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God With contrite hearts return; Our God is gracious, nor will leave The desolate to mourn. 2 His voice commands the tempest forth, And stills the stormy wave; His arm, though it be strong to smite, Is also strong to save. 3 Our hearts, if God we seek to know, Shall know him and rejoice; His coming like the morn shall be, Like morning songs his voice. 4 As dew upon the tender herb, Diffusing fragrance round; As showers that usher in the spring, And cheer the thirsty ground; 5 So shall his presence bless our souls, And shed a joyful light; That hallowed morn shall chase away The sorrows of the night.

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, as returns this solemn day, Man comes to meet his God, What rites, what honors shall he pay? How spread his praise abroad? 2 From marble domes and gilded spires Shall clouds of incense rise? And gems, and gold, and garlands deck The costly sacrifice? 3 Vain, sinful man! creation's Lord Thy offerings well may spare; But give thy heart, and thou shalt find Thy God will hear thy prayer.

O Jesus Christ, Grow Thou in Me

Author: Johann C. Lavater; Elizabeth L. Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me, And all things else recede! My heart be daily nearer Thee, From sin be daily freed. 2. Each day let Thy supporting might My weakness still embrace; My darkness vanish in Thy light, Thy life my death efface. 3. In Thy bright beams which on me fall, Fade every evil thought: That I am nothing, Thou art all, I would be daily taught. 4. More of Thy glory let me see, Thou holy, wise and true! I would Thy living image be, In joy and sorrow, too. 5. Fill me with gladness from above, Hold me by strength divine; Lord, make the glow of Thy great love Through my whole being shine. 6. Make this poor self grow less and less, Be Thou my life and aim; O make me daily through Thy grace, More meet to bear Thy name!
