Morning or Evening

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXLVI (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: My God, how endless is thy love! Lyrics: 1 My God, how endless is thy love! Thy gifts are ev'ry ev'ning new And morning mercies from above. Gently distil like early dew. 2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night, Great guardian of my sleeping hours Thy sov'reign word restores the light, And quickens all our drowsy pow'rs. 3 I yield our pow'rs to thy command; To thee we consecrate our days; Perpetual blessings from thine hand Demand perpetual songs of praise.

Christ's presence desirable

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLVIII (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: My God, my life, my love Lyrics: 1 My God, my life, my love; To thee, to thee I call; I cannot live if thou remove, For thou art all in all. 2 (Thy shining grace can cheer This dungeon where I dwell; 'Tis paradise when thou art here; If thou depart, 'tis hell.) 3 The smilings of thy face, How amiable they are! 'Tis heaven to rest in thine embrace, And no where else but there. 4 (To thee, and thee alone, The angels owe their bliss; They sit around thy gracious throne, And dwell where Jesus is.) 5 Nor earth, nor all the sky, Can one delight afford; No, not a drop of real joy, Without thy presence, LORD.

An Evening Hymn

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXLII (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: Now from the altar of our hearts Lyrics: 1 Now, from the altar of our hearts, Let flames of love arise; Assist us, Lord, to offer up Our evening sacrifice. 2 Minutes and mercies multiply'd, Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More swift and free than they. 3 New time, new favour, and new joys, Do a new song require, Till we shall praise thee as we would, Accept our hearts desire. 4 LORD of our days, whose hand hath set New time upon our score; Thee may we praise for all our time, When time shall be no more.

Seeking the Lord

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLII (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: Often I seek my Lord by night Lyrics: 1 Often I seek my Lord by night; JESUS, my love, my soul's delight With warm desire and restless thought, I seek him oft, but find him not. 2 Then I arise and search the street, Till I my Lord, my Saviour meet: I ask the watchmen of the night, "Where did you see my soul's delight." 3 Sometimes I find him in my way, Directed by a heav'nly ray; I leap for joy to see his face, And hold him fast in mine embrace. 4 He gives me there his bleeding heart, Pierc'd for my sins with deadly smart; I give my soul to him, and there, Our loves their mutual tokens share. 5 I charge you all, ye earthly toys; Approach not to disturb my joys; Nor sin nor hell come near my heart, Nor cause my Saviour to depart.

For the Morning

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXLVII (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: Once more, my soul, the rising day Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day Salutes thy waking eyes; Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay, To him that rules the skies. 2 Night unto night his name repeats, The day renews the sound, Wide as the heav'n on which he sits To turn the seasons round. 3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame; My tongue shall speak his praise; My sins would rouse his wrath to flame, And yet his wrath delays. 4 A thousand wretched souls are fled, Since the Last setting sun, And yet thou length'nest out my thread And yet my moments run. 5 Dear God, let all my hours be thine, While I enjoy the light; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a peaceful night.

A Morning Hymn

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXLI (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: See how the mounting sun Lyrics: 1 See how the mounting sun, Pursues his shining way; And wide proclaims his maker's praise, With every bright'ning ray. 2 Thus would my rising soul, Its heavenly parent sing; And to its great original, The humble tribute bring. 3 Serene I laid me down, Beneath his guardian care; I slept, and I awoke, and found, My kind preserver near! 4 Thus does thine arm support, This weak, defenceless frame; But whence these favours, Lord, to me, All worthless as I am? 5 Oh! how shall I repay The bounties of my God, This feeble spirit pants beneath, The pleasing, painful load. 6 Dear Saviour, to thy cross, I bring my sacrifice; Ting'd with thy blood it shall ascend, With fragrance to the skies. 7 My life I would anew Devote, O LORD, to thee; And, in thy service, I would spend, A long eternity.

An Evening Hymn

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLV (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: Sleep, downy sleep, come, close mine Lyrics: 1 Sleep, downy sleep, come, close mine eyes Tir'd with beholding vanites. Welcome sweet sleep and chase away, The toils and follies of the day. 2 On thy soft bosom, will I lie, Forget the world, and learn to die, O Israel's wathcful shepherd spread, Thy guardian angels round my bed. 3 Let not the spirits of the air, While I lie slumb'ring me insnare; But gurad thy suppliant free from harm Claspt in thine everlasting arm. 4 Clouds ant thick darkness are thy throne Thy wonderful pavilion, O dart from thence one heav'nly ray, And then my midnigh shall be day. 5 Thus when the morn in crimson dress, Break through the windows of the east, My thankful hymns of praise shall rise, Like incense of the sacrifice.

Omnipotent God

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCL (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: The Lord! how fearful is his name Lyrics: 1 The Lord! how fearful is his name How wide is his command? Nature with all her moving frame, Rest on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; Whilst with a smile or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 A word of his Almighty breath, Can swell or sink the seas; Build the vast empires of the earth, Or break them as he please. 4 Adoring angels round him fall, In all their shining forms, His sovereign eye looks thro' them all, And pities mortal worms. 5 Now let the Lord for ever reign, And sway us as he will, Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain, We are his fav'rites still.

Lord's Day Morning

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXXXVI (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: To day God bids the faithful rest Lyrics: 1 To day God bids the faithful rest, To day he show'rs his grace; "Seek ye my face," the Lord hath said Lord, we will seek thy face. 2 Come, let us leave the things on earth, With God's assembly join; Lo! Heaven descends to welcome man, To taste the things divine! 3 We come, dear Saviour, lo! we come, Lord of our life and soul; We come diseas'd, and faint, and sick; Be pleas'd to make us whole. 4 We thirst, and fly to thee, O LORD, Thou fountain-head of good; Filthy we come, and all uncleanl O cleanse us in thy blood. 5 O may we please our God to day, May that be all our care! Give, Lord, thy grace, lest evil thoughts Should mingle in our pray'r. 6 Amidst th' assembly of thy saints, Let us be faithful found; And let us join in humble pray'r, And in thy praise abound. 7 Let thy good Spirit help our souls, With faith thy word to hear; Be with us in thy temple, LORD, And let us find the near.

Divine use of Musick

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLIII (1790) Topics: Family Worship First Line: We sing to thee, whose wisdom form'd Lyrics: 1 We sing to thee, whose wisdom form'd The curious organ of the ear; And thou who gav'st us voices, Lord, Our grateful songs in kindness hear. 2 We'll joy in god who is the spring, Of lawful joy and harmless mirth; whose boundless love is fitly call'd, The harmony of heav'n and earth. 3 Those praises, dearest, Lord, aloud, Our humble sonnets shall rehears: Which rightly tun'd, are rightly stil'd, The musick of the univere. 4 And whilst we sing; we'll consecrate, That too, too much profaned art By off'ring up with ev'ry tongue, In ev'ry song a flaming heart. 5 We'll hallow pleasure and redeem, From vulgar use our precious voice Those lips which wantonly have sung, Shall serve our turn for nobler joys.
