and your saving health extend
unto earth's remotest end.

be by all that live adored.
Let the nations shout and sing
glory to their gracious King;
at your feet their tribute pay,
and your holy will obey.

earth shall then its fruits afford.
Unto us your blessing give;

all below and all above,
one in joy and light and love. Scripture: Psalm 67 Used With Tune: DIX

Shepherd of Tender Youth
Author: Clement of Alexandria Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 281 hymnals Topics: Family Life Prayers Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of tender youth,
Guiding in love and truth
Thro' devious ways;
Christ, our triumphant King,
We come Thy Name to sing,
And here our children bring
To join Thy praise.
2 Thou art our holy Lord,
The all-subduing Word,
Healer of strife:
Thou didst Thyself abase,
That from sin's deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race,
And give us life.
3 Ever be near our side,
Our Shepherd and our Guide,
Our staff and song:
Jesus, Thou Christ of God,
By Thine enduring Word,
Lead us where Thou hast trod,
Make our faith strong.
4 So now, and till we die,
Sound we Thy praises high,
And joyful sing;
Let all the holy throng,
Who to Thy Church belong
Unite and swell the song
To Christ our King!
Amen.

Softly now the light of day
Author: G. W. Doane Appears in 891 hymnals Topics: Family Prayer Evening; Family Prayer Evening Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee.
2 Thou, Whose all-pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye. Used With Tune: [Softly now the light of day]

Author: T. Ken Appears in 1,057 hymnals Topics: Family Prayer Evening; Family Prayer Evening Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Beneath Thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son
The ill that I this day have done,
That with the world, myself and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die that so I may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
4 O may my soul on Thee repose,
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close--
Sleep, that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
5 When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest. Used With Tune: [All praise to Thee, my God, this night]

Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet! I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day; and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent,
Till the night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
4 Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God,
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life. Used With Tune: [Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom]
Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom
O Perfect Love, All Human Thought Transcending

Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou for evermore dost join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
With child-like trust that fears no pain nor death.

Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
Amen.

And fill the world with loudest praise.
