Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1812-96) Appears in 346 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with thee. 2 Still, still with thee! As to each new-born morning A fresh and solemn splendour still is given, So does this blessèd consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto thee and Heaven. 3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil to slumber, Its closing eye looks up to thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath thy wings o’ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find thee there. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with thee!

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer

Author: William Walford Appears in 1,298 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father’s throne Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear To him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless; And since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I’ll cast on him my every care And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. 3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, May I thy consolation share, Till from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height I view my home, and at the sight Put off this robe of flesh, and rise To gain the everlasting prize, And realise for ever there The fruits of the sweet hour of prayer.

I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. 3 Love and grief my heart dividing, With my tears his feet I’ll bathe; Constant still in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. 4 May I still enjoy this blessing, In all need to Jesus go; Prove his death each day more healing, And himself more fully know.

Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine, The joy and desire of my heart, For closer communion I pine, I long to reside where thou art. The pastures I languish to find Where all who their shepherd obey Are fed, on thy bosom reclined, And screened from the heat of the day. 2 Ah! show me that happiest place, The place of thy people’s abode, Where saints in true happiness gaze And hang on a crucified God. Thy love for a sinner declare, Thy passion and death on the tree; My spirit to Calvary bear, To suffer and triumph with thee. 3 ‘Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock, There only, I covet to rest, To lie at the foot of the rock, Or rise to be hid in thy breast. ‘Tis there I would always abide, And never a moment depart, Concealed in the cleft of thy side, Eternally held in thy heart.

To God be the glory, a Saviour is mine

Author: Charles Coller (1863-1935) Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To God be the glory, a Saviour is mine, Whose power is almighty, whose grace is divine; My heart he hath cleansed, he is dwelling within, So wondrously saving from sinning and sin. 2 O wonder of wonders, to God be the praise, I joy in his will, I delight in his ways! And through every conflict, without and within, He saves me and keeps me from sinning and sin. 3 No longer in bondage, my freedom I’ll use My Master to serve in the way he shall choose; To work or to witness, to go or remain, His smile of approval my infinite gain. 4 Earth’s pleasures and treasures no longer allure, My spirit aspires to the things which endure; To walk with my Saviour in garments of white, My highest ambition, my constant delight. 5 The world overcoming by limitless grace, I worship the Lord in the light of his face; So with him communing, like him I shall grow, And life everlasting enjoy here below.
