Up To The Hills I Lift Mine Eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Up to the hills I lift mine eyes, Th’eternal hills beyond the skies; Thence all her help my soul derives; There my almighty refuge lives. 2 He lives, the everlasting God, That built the world, that spread the flood; The heav’ns with all their hosts He made, And darkest regions of the dead. 3 He guides our feet, He guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil and keeps The silent hours while Israel sleeps. 4 Israel, a name divinely blest, May rise secure, securely rest; Thy holy guardian’s wakeful eyes Admit no slumber nor surprise. 5 No sun shall smite thy head by day, Nor pallid moon with sickly ray Shall blast thy couch; no baleful star Dart his malignant fire so far. 6 Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go and still return Safe in the Lord; His heav’nly care Defends thy life from every snare. 7 On thee foul spirits have no power; And in thy last departing hour Angels, that trace the airy road, Shall bear thee homeward to thy God.

O Light of life, O Saviour dear

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Light of life, O Saviour dear, Before we sleep bow down Thine ear: Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, We have no other hope but Thee. 2 Oft from Thy royal road we part, Lost in the mazes of the heart: Our lamps put out, our course forgot, We seek for God, and find Him not. 3 What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight! What dawning risen upon the night! Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we Find guide and path and all in Thee. 4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear, Abide with us, more nearly near; Till on Thy face we lift our eyes, The Sun of God's own Paradise. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Guide, Our; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Used With Tune: ABENDS

Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Used With Tune: ABENDS

Around the Throne of God a Band

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Around the throne of God a band Of bright and glorious angels stand; Sweet harps within their hands they hold, And on their heads are crowns of gold. 2. Some wait around Him ready still To sing His praise and do His will, And some, when He commands them, go To guard His servants here below. 3. Lord, give Thine angels every day Command to guard us on our way, And bid them every evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. 4. So shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm or cause us fear; And we shall dwell, when life is past, With angels round Thy throne at last.
