Dayspring of Eternity

Author: J. F. Ohl; Christian Knorr v. Rosenroth Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.3 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dayspring of Eternity, Light from endless Light proceeding, Let Thy beams upon us shine As the shadows are receding; And dispel by Thy great might Our dark night. 2 As the soft refreshing dew falls upon the drooping flower, So our fainting hearts renew By Thy Spirit's quickening power; Ne'er Thy bounteous grace withhold From Thy fold. 3 Let the glow of Thy pure love All our icy coldness banish; In the radiance from above May our doubts and fears all vanish, That ere dying we may be Found in Thee. 4 O Thou glorious Sun of grace, May Thy light be ne'er denied us! Till we reach the heavenly place Shine upon our way to guide us, That at last among the best We may rest. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Morning Used With Tune: MORGENGLANZ DER EWIGKEIT

Heavenward still our pathway tends

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Benjamin Schmolk Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenward still our pathway tends; Here on earth we are but strangers, Till our road in Canaan ends, Safely passed this wild of dangers; Here we but as pilgrims rove, For our home is there above. 2 Heavenward still, my soul, ascend! Thou art one of heaven's creations; Earth can ne'er give aim or end Fit to fill thy aspirations; And a heaven-enlightened mind Evermore its source to find. 3 Heavenward still! God calls to me In His Word, so loudly speaking; Glimpses in that Word I see Of the home I'm ever seeking. While my heart that call attends, Still to heaven my path ascends. 4 Heavenward still when life shall close, Death to my true home shall guide me: Then, triumphant o'er my woes, Lasting bliss shall God provide me. Christ Himself the way has led; Joyful in His steps I tread. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Used With Tune: MEINHOLD

All my penitence I give Thee; Thou art my exalted King, Of Thy matchless love forgive me; Thou didst give Thyself for me, Now I give myself to Thee. Amen.
