In our day of Thanksgiving one psalm let us offer
Author: William Draper, 1855-1933 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #208 (1986) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer
For the saints who before us have found their reward;
When the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed,
But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord.
2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even,
He called them away from our worship below;
But not till his love, at the font and the altar,
Had girt them with grace for the way they should go.
3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,
And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod;
Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims,
And still they were seeking the city of God.
4 Sing praise then, for all who here sought and here found Him,
Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past:
They believed in the Light; and its glory is round them,
Where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last.

Christ the true, the only light,
sun of righteousness, arise,
triumph over shades of night;
dayspring from on high, be near;
day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
if you seem not close to me;
joyless is the day's return,
till your mercy's beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine;
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine;
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more yourself display,
shining to the perfect day. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19-21 Languages: English Tune Title: HEATHLANDS

everlasting Son of God,

hard the lonely path you trod:
by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.

you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid:
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;

save your people, God, we pray. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24-25 Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

O Jesus, crowned with all renown

May yield her fruits again:

Repay Thee of Thine own:

And with the Father's Name,
And with the Holy Spirit's gifts,
The Saviour's love proclaim. Languages: English Tune Title: ROSEATE HUES

Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life:
