Author: John Keble Appears in 1,480 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Evening Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live! Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die! 4 If some poor wand'ring child of Thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick, enrich the poor With blessings from Thy bounteous store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light! 6 Come near, and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, And lead us by Thy hand of love, Until we reach our home above.

The Gospel shows the Father's grace

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race: Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th' atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release, And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the power of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith, which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad: The heavy laden soul it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess, And praise the Lord our righteousness.

At Jesus' feet our infant sweet

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D., 1863 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all its stain, That renders it for heaven unmeet Until 'tis born again. We here embrace His proffered grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- The bath its soul will save. 2 We fail to see the Holy Three Concealed the font within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleases us from sin; But who may tell what virtues dwell Through God's Word in that flood; Or who the simple faith repel That owns it Jesus' blood? 3 We bring our child by sin defiled, Then, dearest Lord! to Thee, Here clothe it in Thy nature mild, From sin here make it free; And buried here in death severe, To new life may it rise, And trained for Thee, with Thee appear Immortal in the skies. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
