The sun rolls down the distant west

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #551 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The sun rolls down the distant west, Soft twilight steals abroad To welcome in the day of rest, The Sabbath of our Lord. 2 This holy day let us begin With songs of praise to God, Who pardons all our guilt and sin, Through Jesus' precious blood. 3 Now in this tranquil hour we lay All worldly cares aside, And hallow God's most holy day, Though friends or foes may chide. 4 'Tis not to seek the world's applause That we from labor rest; We strive to keep God's holy laws, And he these moments blessed.

Happy the home when God is there

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #552 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Happy the home when God is there, And love fills every breast; When 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 blessed peace to gain; Unite our hearts in love to thee, And love to all will reign.

The day is past and gone

Author: John Leland Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #554 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear; O, may we all remember well The night of death draws near. 2 Lord, keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears. 3 And if we early rise, And view the unwearied sun, May we set out to win the prize, And after glory run. 4 And when our days are past, And we from time remove, O, may we in thy bosom rest The bosom of thy love.

The swift declining day

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #556 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Gains on the western sky. 2 Ye mortals, mark its pace, And use the hours of light; And know, its Maker can command At once death's silent night. 3 Give glory to the Lord, Who rules the whirling sphere; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there. 4 Then shall new luster break Through death's impending gloom, And lead you to unchanging light In your celestial home. Tune Title: VESPER

How dark and sad before! With joy we view the pleasing change, And nature's God adore. Tune Title: VESPER

The light of Sabbath eve

Author: Anon.
