In sleep's serene oblivion laid

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 In sleep's serene oblivion laid, I safely pass'd the silent night: Again I see the breaking shade, I drink again the morning light. 2 New-born, I bless the waking hour; Once more, with awe, rejoice to be: My conscious soul resumes her pow'r, And springs, my guardian God! to thee. 3 O guide me through the various maze, My doubtful feet are doom'd to tread; And spread thy shield's protecting blaze, Where dangers press around my head. 4 A deeper shade shall soon impend; A deeper sleep my eyes oppress: Yet then thy strength shall still defend, Thy goodness still delight to bless. 5 That deeper shade shall break away; That deeper sleep shall leave my eyes: Thy light shall give eternal day; Thy love, the raptures of the skies.

Still may it lead, protect, supply, And I that hand adore. 3 If bliss thy Providence impart, For which, resign'd, I pray: Give me to feel the grateful heart, That, without guilt, is gay. 4 Affliction should'st thou please to send, As sin's or folly's cure: Patient, to gain that blessed end, May I the means endure. 5 Be this and ev'ry future day Still wiser than the past; That, from the whole of life's survey, I may find peace at last.

Interval of grateful shade

Meter: Irregular Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Evening Lyrics: 1 Interval of grateful shade, Welcome to my weary head! Welcome, slumber, to my eyes, Tir'd with glaring vanities. 2 My great Master still allows Needful periods of repose: By my heav'nly Father blest, Thus, I give y pow'rs to rest. 3 Heav'nly Father! gracious name! Night and day his love the same! Far be each suspicious thought, Ev'ry anxious care forgot! 4 Thou my ever-bounteous God! Crown'st my days with various good. Thy kind eye, which cannot sleep, My defenseless hours shall keep. 5 What if death my sleep invade? Should I be of death afraid? While encircled by thine arm, Death may strike, but cannot harm. 6 With thy heav'nly presence blest, Death is life, and labour rest. Welcome sleep or death to me, Still secure, for still with thee!

Jehovah's name; His goodness, and thy bliss proclaim. For thee each blessing largely flows, That freedom's lib'ral hand bestows. 2 Thy children are secure and blest; Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest; He feeds thy sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat. 3 Thy changing seasons he ordains, Thine early and thy latter rains; His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And well the springing corn defends. 4 But he hath nobler works and ways, To call his people to his praise: To all our land his laws are shown; His gospel's through the nation known.
