I thank thee, Lord, for precious things
O thou who gavest power to love
Author: Mandell Creighton, 1843-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou who gavest power to love
that we might fix our hearts on thee,
preparing us for joys above
by that which here on earth we see;
2 thy Spirit trains our souls to know
the growing purpose of thy will,
and gives to love the power to show
that purpose growing larger still:
3 larger, as love to reverent eyes
makes manifest another soul,
and shows to life a richer prize,
a clearer course, a nobler goal.
4 Lord, grant thy servants who implore
thy blessing on the hearts they blend,
that from that union evermore
new joys may blossom to the end.
5 Make what is best in each combine
to purge all earthly dross away,
to strengthen, purify, refine,
to beautify each coming day.
6 So may they hand in hand advance
along life’s path from troubles free;
brave to meet adverse circumstance
because their love points up to thee. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Matrimony Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

Now say good night! O Father be

My refuge still; to Thee I flee.
When darkness, death, and terrors rise,
Thy grace shall still for me suffice.
2 All praise to Christ my Savior give,
For He this day hath let me live
My life away in His dear name:
"To live is Christ, to die is gain."
3 O Holy Ghost, Thy grace impart,
To rest in Christ my troubled heart.
O sweet the rest Thy grace goth bring,
And bids me to my Saviour cling.
4 Now say good night! May angels bright
Kep watching o'er me through the night,
And spread their guardian, heavenly wings,
O'er these my wearied, slumb'ring limbs.
5 "And now I lay me down to sleep;
I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray, Thee, Lord, my soul to take."

God keep you safe till morning's light,
That with His praise you all may wake;
"And this I ask for Jesus sake." Topics: The Catechism Evening Used With Tune: NAZARETH (Melcombe)

O, deem not they are blest alone
Author: William Cullen Bryant Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep;
For God, who pities man, hath shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
2 The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears,
And weary hours of woe and pain
Are promises of happier years.
3 There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night,
And grief may bide an evening guest,
4 Nor let the good man's trust depart,
Though life its common gifts deny;
Though with a sad and broken heart,
He sees his hopes most cherished die.
5 For God has marked each sorrowing day,
And numbered every secret tear,
And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here. Topics: The Christian Comfort and Encouragement Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
