Take thou my hand and guide me
Author: Julie von Hausmann (1826-1901); F. S. Cooper Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take thou my hand and guide me
Till life be o’er,
To rest with thee beside me
For evermore.
My Saviour, do not leave me
One single day;
In Heaven with thee receive me
To dwell alway.
2 When faint my heart with sadness,
Bid cares all cease;
Grant me in pain or gladness
Thy perfect peace.
In lowliness I bend me
Before thy throne;
O let thine eyes defend me,
For blind my own!
3 E’en though my weak endeavour
Feel not thy might,
Yet thou wilt lead me ever
All through the night.
Then, take my hand and guide me
Till life be o’er,
To rest with thee beside me
For evermore.

Take thou my hand and guide me
Thou Lamb of God, whose precious blood
Author: Harry Davis (d 1919) Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Lamb of God, whose precious blood
For every guilty sinner flows,
A cleansing, efficacious flood,
A healing stream for human woes,
Now let us feel its quickening power,
O cleanse our souls this very hour!
2 Assembled here with one accord,
We claim thy promised blessing now,
And dare believe thy precious word
While humbly at thy throne we bow.
O fill us with thy mighty power,
And save, O Lord, this very hour!
3 O solemnise each waiting heart,
And let us feel thy presence now!
Subdue, dear Lord, the stubborn heart,
That all in penitence may bow.
Convict us by thy mighty power,
And save, dear Lord, this very hour.

Thou Lamb of God, whose precious blood
What various hindrances we meet
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 526 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet
In coming to the mercy seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there!
2 Prayer makes the darkest cloud withdraw,
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw,
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.
3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight;
Prayer makes the soldier’s armour bright;
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4 O Lord, increase our faith and love,
So shall we all thy goodness prove
And gain from thine own boundless store
The fruits of prayer for evermore.

With a deep, burning love for souls,
Lord, fill my craving heart.
2 Deepen in me thy work of grace,
Teach me to do thy will,
Help me to live a spotless life,
Thy holy laws fulfil.
3 With mighty power my soul baptise,
My longing heart inspire,
That I may from this moment rise
A living flame of fire.
4 I want in this dark world to shine,
And ever faithful be,
That all around shall know I’m thine
In blest reality.

Break thou the bread of life
Author: Mary Artemisia Lathbury (1841-1913); Alexander Groves (1843-1909) Appears in 731 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Break thou the bread of life,
O Lord, to me,
As thou didst break the loaves
Beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page
I seek thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for thee,
O living Word!
2 Thou art the bread of life,
O Lord, to me,
Thy holy word the truth
That saveth me;
Give me to eat and live
With thee above;
Teach me to love thy truth,
For thou art love.
3 O send thy Spirit, Lord,
Now unto me,
That he may touch my eyes
And make me see;
Show me the truth concealed
Within thy word,
And in thy book revealed
I see the Lord.

Break thou the bread of life
Happy the home when God is there
Author: Henry Ware (1794-1843) Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Happy the home when God is there
And love fills every breast,
Where one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heavenly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus’ name
Is sweet to every ear,
Where children early lisp his fame
And parents hold him dear.
3 Happy the home where prayer is heard
And praise is wont to rise,
Where parents love the sacred word,
And live but for the skies.
4 Lord! let us in our homes agree
This blessèd peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign.

Happy the home when God is there
Home is home, however lowly
Author: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Home is home, however lowly,
Home is sweet when love is there,
Home is home when hearts are holy,
Earth has ne’er a spot so fair.
Jesus makes our home a heaven,
Sacred in the fireside warm;
After battling through the long day,
Home’s a shelter from the storm.
2 To a little home in Bethany
Jesus loved to wend his way;
Tender hearts were waiting for him
In the evening of the day.
Jesus there dispelled the sadness,
There the humble meal he blessèd;
There they worshipped him with gladness;
There his sacred form would rest.
3 Let us make our home the threshold
Of the city bright and fair,
Each the other’s joy possessing,
Each the other’s burden share.
In the storm of deep affliction
Let us seek the heavenly balm,
In life’s tempest just remember
Prayer will make the storm a calm.

Home is home, however lowly
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Author: Thomas Ken (1637-1711) Appears in 891 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noonday clear;
For God’s all-seeing eye surveys
Thy secret thoughts, thy words and ways.
3 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept
And hast refreshed me while I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake
I may of endless life partake.
4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew;
Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with thyself my spirit fill.
5 Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I may think, or do, or say;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Each day is a gift supernal
Author: Mads Nielsen; Flora Larsson Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Each day is a gift supernal,
A shining new chance to live;
Each day brings a heavenly challenge
To all that I have to give.
2 Each day is a golden treasure,
Whose riches I cannot guess,
A store of created beauty
That humbly I may possess.
3 Each day is a round of duty,
A pressing, absorbing quest;
Each evening the Lord will question:
Today have you done your best?
4 Each night-time the glittering starlight
Stands watch at the day’s closed door;
Each morning anew God calls me
To rise and to try once more.

Each day is a gift supernal
Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 346 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go
My daily labour to pursue,
Thee, only thee, resolved to know
In all I think, or speak, or do.
2 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost purpose see;
And labour on at thy command,
And offer all my works to thee.
3 Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray,
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to thy glorious day.
4 For thee delightfully employ
Whate’er thy bounteous grace hath given,
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with thee to Heaven.
