Great God, to Thee my evening song

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, to Thee my evening song, With humble gratitude I raise: O let Thy mercy tune my tongue, And fill my heart with lively praise. 2 My days unclouded as they pass, And every gently rolling hour, Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to Thy love and power. 3 and yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, Too oft regardless of thy love, Ungrateful, can from Thee depart, And from the path of duty rove. 4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood Of Jesus; his dear Name alone I plead for pardon, gracious God, And kind acceptance at Thy throne. 5 Let this blest hope mine eyelids close; With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in Thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to thy Name.

Hail the day that sees Him rise

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Appears in 843 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemn'd and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth: Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand for ever, That Name to us is Love.
