As when the weary traveller gains
Author: Rev. J. Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #677a (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 As, when the weary traveller gains
The height of some commanding hill,
His heart revives, if o'er the plains
He eyes his home, tho' distant still;
2 Thus when the Christian pilgrim views
By faith his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 The thought of heaven his spirit cheers;
No more he grieves for troubles past;
Nor any future trial fears,
So he may safe arrive at last.
4 Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay,
To lead us on to Thine abode;
Assured Thy love will far o'erpay
The hardest labors of the road.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [As when the weary traveller gains]

My Father, for another night
Author: H. W. Baker Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #530 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My Father, for another night
Of quiet sleep and rest,
For all the joy of morning light,
Thy holy Name be blest.
2 Now with the newborn day I give
Myself anew to Thee,
That as Thou willest I may live,
And what Thou willest be.
3 Whate'er I do, things great or small,
Whate'er I speak or frame,
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' Name.
4 My Father, for His sake, I pray
Thy child accept and bless;
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. TIMOTHY
My Father, for another night
Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #531 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Forth is Thy Name, O Lord, I go,
My daily labour to pursue;
Thee, only Thee resolved to know,
In all I think, or speak or do.
2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfil;
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.
3 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see;
And labour on at Thy command,
And offer all my works to Thee.
4 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious Day.
5 Fain would I still for Thee employ
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given,
Would run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
Author: M. Xavier Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #532 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for to-day.
2 Help me to labour earnestly
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Father, to-day.
3 Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself
Gladly, to-day.
4 Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips
Through all to-day.
5 Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay:
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Dear Lord, to-day.
6 And if to-day this life of mine
Should ebb away,
Give me Thy Sacrament divine,
Father, to-day.
7 So for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Through each to-day. Languages: English Tune Title: BELLEVILLE
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
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
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 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
