Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Appears in 862 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Evening Sabbath; Worship Close of ; Peace Of God; Sabbath (the Christian) Evening; Peace In Christ Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day; Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy name. 3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free; For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

O worship the King, all glorious above!

Grant, 1785-1838 Appears in 1,173 hymnals Topics: Care of God; Christ King; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; God Omnipotent; God Care of; God Majesty, of; God Providence of; Worship Call to ; King Of Glory; Providence; Omnipotence of God; Power Of God Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above! O gratefully sing His power and His love! Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form; And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.
