Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #125 (1903) Topics: The Christian Graces; Love The Home Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Wake and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part, Who all night long unwearied sing High praise to the eternal King. 3 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept: Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake. 4 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 5 Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do, or say; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow: Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him, above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #128 (1903) Topics: The Christian Graces; Love The Home Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep. Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour'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 wandering 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 boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night Like infant's slumber, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #130 (1903) Topics: The Christian Graces; Love The Home First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me! 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinner, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

C. von Pheil Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #264 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Home Lyrics: 1 O blest the house, whate'er befall, Where Jesus Christ is All in all; Yea, if He were not dwelling there, How poor and dark and void it were! 2 O blest the house where faith ye find, And all within have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still, And do in all His holy will. 3 O blest the parents who give heed To their dear children's foremost need, And weary not of care or cost: To them and heav'n shall none be lost. 4 Blest such a house, it prospers well; In peace and joy the parents dwell. And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine today A solemn covenant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy Word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: Heber Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #482 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism; The Children's Home Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the lily grows; How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod, Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose, that blooms beneath the hill, Must shortly fade away. 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou who givest life and breath, We seek thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still thine own. Scripture: Psalm 144:12

Zion Hymnal #531 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Christian Family/The Home Lyrics: 1 O Love divine and golden, Mysterious depth and height, To Thee the world beholden Looks up for life and light; O Love divine and gentle, The Blesser and the Blest, Beneath Thy care parental The world lies down in rest. 2 O Love divine and tender, That through our homes dost move, Veiled in the softened splendor Of holy household love, A throne without Thy blessing Were labor without rest, And cottages possessing Thy blessedness are blest. 3 God bless these hands united; God bless these hearts made one! Unsevered and unblighted May they through life go on, Here in earth's home preparing For the bright home above, And there forever sharing Its joy where God is Love. AMEN.

Amen! so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality! Here is the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 2 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near! At times, to faith's unclouded eye, Thy golden gates appear. Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 3 "For ever with the Lord!" Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word Even here to me fulfil. Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight, and I must prevail. 4 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!" Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER HOME

The Law of God Is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915, alt. Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #579 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Home and Education Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And turn from sin before too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 But those who scornfully disdain God's Law shall then in sin remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The Law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all; It dooms us for our sin to die And has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.
