The morn in beauty breaks
Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
The morn in beauty breaks,
The world to life awakes:
Up, soul of mine, and sing!
And let the day begun,
In hours of service run,
And joy to duty bring.
The darkness fades away,
Light ushers in the day--
Let there be light for me!
That round my path no cloud
Dark folding may enshroud
Me in perplexity.
To Father and to Son,
To Spirit, Three in One,
Eternal praise be given:
Sung by the saints above,
In songs of fervent love,
Up in the choirs of heaven.
The morn in beauty breaks
The time is drawing nigh
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics:
The time is drawing nigh,
Even now the day is near,
When Christ from heaven high
To judgement shall appear;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.
Then kings and princes great,
The rich and poor shall meet;
And high and low estate
Shall gather round His feet;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.
No crafty words shall mar,
Nor sophistry distract;
No parrying counsel jar
With the eternal fact;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.
119
O Christ, in mercy then,
Forbid my soul should go
With lost and ruined men,
Down to the place of woe;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.

The time is drawing nigh
I wandered sore distressed
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics:
I
I wandered sore distressed,
All weary and forlorn;
I had no place to rest,
Of all my pleasures shorn,—
My thirsting spirit sighed,
And in the desert cried.
II
The Shepherd heard my cry,
Who came His flock to find,
And drew in mercy nigh,
For He is wondrous kind;
His winning voice awoke
My spirit as He spoke.
III
He bade my wandering cease,
And gave my heart a home,
That, from the bliss of peace,
I might no longer roam;—
He gave me hope for fears,
And lasting joy for tears.

I wandered sore distressed
The 121st Psalm of David
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord! to Thee alone I raise Lyrics:
Lord! to Thee alone I raise
Evermore mine eager eyes,
Upturn’d is my constant gaze
To the hills that pierce the skies:
To the hills whence flow to me
Help and saving health from Thee!
All my succour comes to me
From my great Creator’s hand,
Who hath deck’d so beauteously
Earth and sky, air, sea, and land,
And with ev’ry good supplied,
That our needs be satisfied.
Lest thy feet, my soul! should stray
From the narrow path of right,
He is with thee in the way,
And preserves thee day and night.
Trust Him! and the hosts of hell
Never more shall work thee ill.
Sleepless vigils doth He keep
When thou liest down to rest;
When thou’rt sunk in slumbers deep,
To thy side at His behest
Angel hosts then wing their flight,
Thee to guard through all the night.
All thou hast and all thou art
Is encircled by His love;
Ev’ry grief that wrings thy heart
Doth He graciously remove.
Soul and body shieldeth He,
When dark tempests threaten thee.
When the noonday’s burning sun
All thy body’s strength doth blight,
When the midnight stars and moon
Dazzle with their brilliant light,
Then His hand of mighty pow’r,
Shades thee in the trying hour.
May He still protection yield,
Faithful Shepherd be, and near
Still remain thy rock and shield,
When thy heart’s oppress’d with fear.
When of need thou feel’st the smart,
May He press thee to His heart.
Dost thou sit or rise again,
Dost thou speak or dost thou hear,
Still at home dost thou remain,
Art abroad when none is near,
Dost thou wander in or out?
He will compass thee about.
The 121st Psalm of David
