When, streaming from the eastern skies

Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Daily Devotion Morning Lyrics: 1 When, streaming from the eastern skies, The morning-light salutes mine eyes, O Sun of righteousness divine, On me, with beams of mercy, shine; Chase all the clouds of guilt away, And turn my darkness into day. 2 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pard'ning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Savior, while I rest; And, as each morning-sun shall rise, O lead me onward to the skies. 3 And at my life's last setting sun, My conflicts o'er, my labors done, Thy heav'nly radiance, Jesus! shed, To cheer and bless my dying-bed: Then from death's gloom my spirit raise, To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.

The Wisdom of God in the Formation of Man

Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Daily Devotion; Daily Devotion First Line: When I with pleasing wonder stand Lyrics: 1 When I with pleasing wonder stand, And all my frame survey, Lord, tis thy work; I own thy hand Thus built my humble clay. 2 Thy hand my heart and reins possest Where unborn nature grew; Thy wisdom all my features trac'd, And all my members drew. 3 Thine eye with nicest care survey'd The growth of every part; Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid Was copy'd by thy art. 4 Heaven, earth, and sea, and fire and wind Shew me thy wondrous skill; But I review myself, and find Diviner wonders still. 5 Thy awful glories round me shine, My flesh proclaims thy praise; Lord, to thy works of nature join Thy miracles of grace. Scripture: Psalm 139

Support for the afflicted and tempted Soul

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Daily Devotion; Daily Devotion First Line: O God, my refuge, hear my cries Lyrics: 1 O God, my refuge, hear my cries, Behold my flowing tears, For earth and hell my hurt devise, And triumph in my fears. 2 Their rage is level'd at my life, My soul with guilt they load, And fill my thoughts with inward strife, To shake my hope in God. 3 With inward pains my heart-strings wound, I groan with every breath; Horror and fear beset me round Amongst the shades of death. 4 Oh were I like a feather'd dove, And innocence had wings, I'd fly, and make a long remove From all these restless things. 5 Let me to some wild desert go, And find a peaceful home, Where storms of malice never blow, Temptations never come. 7 Vain hopes, and vain inventions all To 'scape the rage of hell! The mighty God, on whom I call, Can save me here as well. Pause. 7 By morning light I'll seek his face, At noon repeat my cry, The night shall hear me ask his grace, Nor will he long deny. 8 God shall preserve my soul from fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten thousand angels must appear If he command their aid. 9 I cast my burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My courage rests upon his word, That saints shall never fall. 10 My highest hopes shall not be vain, My lips shall spread his praise; While cruel and deceitful men, Scarce live out half their days. Scripture: Psalm 55:22
