Blest are the moments, doubly blest
Author: W. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #533 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Blest are the moments, doubly blest,
That drawn from this one hour of rest,
Are with a ready heart bestowed
Upon the service of our God!
2 Each field is then a hallowed spot,
An altar is in each man's cot,
A church in every grove that spreads
Its living roof above our heads.
3 Look up to heaven, the industrious sun
Already half his race hath run
He cannot halt or go astray,
But our immortal spirits may.
4 Lord, since his rising in the east,
If we have faltered or transgressed,
Guide, from Thy love's abundant source,
What yet remains of this day's course;
5 Help with Thy grace, thro' life's short day,
Our upward and our downward way;
And glorify for us the west,
When we shall sink to final rest. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
Blest are the moments, doubly blest
Behold us, Lord, a little space
Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #534 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, a little space
From daily tasks set free,
And met within Thy holy place
To rest awhile with Thee.
2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
Of business, toil, and care;
And scarcely can we turn aside
For one brief hour of prayer.
3 Yet these are not the only walls
Wherein Thy mayst be sought;
On homeliest work Thy blessing falls
In truth and patience wrought.
4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,
The wealth of land and sea,
The worlds of science and of art,
Revealed and ruled by Thee.
5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth,
In all we do and know;
And claim the kingdom of the earth
For Thee and not Thy foe.
6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
As Thou wouldst have it done,
And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught,
Itself with work be one.
Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN
Behold us, Lord, a little space
Thro' the day Thy love has spared us
Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #535 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thro the day Thy love has spared us,
Hear us ere the hour of rest:
Thro' 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. Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKDALE
Thro' the day Thy love has spared us
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Author: C. L. Smith Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #536 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
For the day is passing by;
See! the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.
2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west,
Swift the night of death advances;
Shall it be the night of rest?
3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow;
Sinks my heart with troubled fear;
Give me faith for clearer vision,
Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer.
4 Let me hear Thy voice behind me,
Calming all these wild alarms:
Let me, underneath my weakness,
Feel the everlasting arms.
5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying,
Lord, I cast myself on Thee;
Tarry with me through the darkness,
While I sleep, still watch by me.
6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me!
Morning of eternal rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
The day is past and gone
Author: J. Leland Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #537 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone;
The evening shades appear:
O may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
2 We lay our garments by
Upon our beds to rest;
So death shall soon disrobe us all
Of what is here possest.
3 Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears. Languages: English Tune Title: HEATH
The day is past and gone
Saviour, when night involves the skies
Author: T. Gisborne Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #538 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when night involves the skies,
My soul, adoring, turns to Thee;
Thee, self-abased in mortal guise,
And wrapt in shades of death for me.
2 On Thee my waking raptures dwell,
When crimson gleams the east adorn,
Thee, Victor of the grave and hell,
Thee, source of life's eternal morn.
3 When noon her throne in light arrays,
To Thee my soul triumphant springs;
Thee, throned in glory's endless blaze,
Thee, Lord of lords and King of kings.
4 O'er earth, when shades of ev'ning steal,
To death and Thee my tho'ts I give;
To death, whose power I soon must feel,
To Thee, with Whom I trust to live. Languages: English Tune Title: SWEDEN
Saviour, when night involves the skies
Lord Jesus, think on me
Author: A. W. Chatfield; Synesius Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #539 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest,
Let me Thy loving servant be,
And taste Thy promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share Thy joy at last.
Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW
Lord Jesus, think on me
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
Author: A. A. Procter Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #540 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
Aught of its load;
2 I do not ask that flowers always spring
Beneath my feet;
I know too well the poison and the sting
Of things too sweet.
3 For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead:
Lead me aright,
Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed,
Through peace to light.
4 I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed
Full radiance here;
Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread
Without a fear.
5 I do not ask my cross to understand,
My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand,
And follow Thee.
6 Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night.
Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine,
Through peace to light. Languages: English Tune Title: SUBMISSION
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
I look to Thee in every need
Author: S. Longfellow Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #541 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 I look to Thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel Thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The tho't of Thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
2 Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of Thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.
3 Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still:
Around me flows Thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will:
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.
4 Embosomed deep in Thy dear love,
Held in Thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in Thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise. Languages: English Tune Title: PALMYRA
I look to Thee in every need
My heart is resting, O my God
Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #542 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
2 Now the frail vessel Thou hast made,
No hand but Thine shall fill;
The waters of the earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.
3 I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
4 And a new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set;
Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet.
5 I have a heritage of joy,
That yet I must not see;
The hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
6 There is a certainty of love
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for to-day,
That to be poor is best;
7 A prayer, reposing on His truth,
Who hath made all things mine,
That draws my captive will to Him,
And makes it one with Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: DUMMERSTON
My heart is resting, O my God
