When Morning Gilds the Skies

Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 714 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:8 Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries, may Jesus Christ be praised! Alike at work and prayer to Jesus I repair, may Jesus Christ be praised! 2 Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, may Jesus Christ be praised! Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, may Jesus Christ be praised! 3 The night becomes as day, when from the heart we say, may Jesus Christ be praised! The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear, may Jesus Christ be praised! 4 Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine, may Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th'eternal song through all the ages long, may Jesus Christ be praised!

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 294 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:8 Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at Thy behest; To Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. 3 As o’er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, Nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren ’neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, Like earth’s proud empires, pass away: Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

Cast down, yet hoping in God

Let thy griefs be turn'd to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone: Look to Jesus, And rejoice in his dear name. 2 What tho' Satan's strong temptations Vex and seize thee, day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay?
