Through the day thy love has spared us

Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Hymnal: HRGC1892 #646c (1894) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Through the day Thy love has spared us; Hear us ere the hour of rest: Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes; Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose; And, when life's short day is past, Rest with Thee in heaven at last.

Hear our prayer, O Heavenly Father

Author: Harriett Parr Hymnal: HRGC1892 #647 (1894) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hear our prayer, O Heavenly Father, Ere we lay us down to sleep; Bid Thine angels pure and holy, Round our bed their vigils keep. 2 Heavy though our sins, Thy mercy Far outweighs them every one; Down before the cross we cast them, Trusting in thy help alone. 3 Keep us through this night of peril Safe beneath its sheltering shade; Take us to Thy rest, we pray Thee, When our pilgrimage is made. 4 None can measure out Thy patience By the span of human thought; None can bound the tender mercies Which Thy holy Son has bought. 5 Pardon all our past transgressions, Give us strength for days to come; Guide and guard us with Thy blessing, Till Thine angles bear us home.

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Hymnal: HRGC1892 #650 (1894) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my strength, my hope, On Thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know Thou hear’st my prayer. Give me on Thee to wait, Till I can all things do; On Thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. 2 Give me a true regard, A single, steady aim, Unmoved by threatening or reward, To Thee and Thy great Name; A jealous, just concern For Thine immortal praise; A pure desire that all may learn And glorify Thy grace. 3 I rest upon Thy word; The promise is for me; My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee; But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Author: Rev. E. Caswall; S. Francis Xavier Hymnal: HRGC1892 #653 (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee: not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor yet because,if I love not I must forever die. 2 But, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, E'en death itself; and all for me Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, Of of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward: But as Thyself hast lovèd me, O ever-loving Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.
