The day you gave us, Lord, has ended
Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40:16 Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, has ended;
the darkness falls at your behest;
to you our morning hymns ascended,
your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank you that your Church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onwards into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
nor rests from worship 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 song of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
your children 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous deeds resound on high.
5 So be it, Lord! your throne shall never,
like earths proud empires, pass away;
your kingdom stands and grows for ever,
till all your creatures own your sway. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; Kingdom of God Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40:1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though fallen sinners in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 Our spirits fail through lack of prayer:
oh, grant us power to pray;
and, when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 God of all grace, we bring to thee
a broken contrite heart;
give what thine eye delights to see--
truth in the inward part;
4 Trust in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, on Christ alone;
5 Patience to watch and wait and weep,
though mercy long delay;
and courage our faint souls to keep,
with faith in thee alway.
6 Give these, and then thy will be done:
thus, strengthened with all might,
we, through thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray and pray aright. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Prayer Used With Tune: EDGBASTON

Sunset and dawning,
Wealth, peace and gladness,
Comfort in sadness:
These are Thy works; all the glory be Thine!
Times without number,
Awake or in slumber,
Thine eye observes us,
From danger preserves us,
Causing Thy mercy upon us to shine.
2 Father, O hear me,
Pardon and spare me;
Calm all my terrors,
Blot out my errors
That by Thine eyes they may no more be scanned.
Order my goings,
Direct all my doings;
As it may please Thee,
Retain or release me;
All I commit to Thy fatherly hand.
