The blessing of God on the business and comforts of life
Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #270a (1791) Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: If God succeed not, all the cost Lyrics: 1 If God succeed not, all the cost
And pains to build the house are lost;
If God the city will not keep,
The watchful guards as well may sleep.
2 What though we rise before the sun,
And work and toil when day is done,
Careful and sparing eat our bread,
To shun that poverty we dread.
3 'Tis all in vain, 'till God hath bless'd;
He can make rich, yet give us rest;
On God, our sov'reign, still depends
Our joy in children and in friends.
4 Happy the man to whom he sends
Obedient children, faithful friends:
How sweet our daily comforts prove
When they are season'd with his love! Languages: English

Giver and guardian of our sleep
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Hymnal #61 (1956) Scripture: Psalm 127:2 Lyrics: 1 Giver and guardian of our sleep,
To praise thy name we wake;
Still, Lord, thy chosen servants keep,
For thine own mercy's sake.
2 The blessing of another day
We thankfully receive;
O may we only thee obey,
And to thy glory live.
3 Upon us by thy mighty hand,
Our words and thoughts restrain;
Bow every soul to thy command,
Nor let our faith be vain.
4 Subject of hope, we wait thy hour
Which shall salvation bring;
When all we are shall own thy power
And dwell with Christ, our King.
Amen.

Psalm 127
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.295 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: If God to build the house deny Lyrics:
If God to build the house deny,
The builders work in vain;
And towns, without his wakeful eye,
A useless watch maintain.
Before the morning beams arise,
Your painful work renew;
And till the stars ascend the skies,
Your tiresome toil pursue;
Short be your sleep, and coarse your fare;
In vain, till God has blessed;
But if his smiles attend your care,
You shall have food and rest.
Nor children, relatives, nor friends,
Shall real blessings prove;
Nor all the earthly joys he sends,
If sent without his love.
