Happy the home when God is there

Author: Anon. Appears in 92 hymnals 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.

Giver and Guardian of our sleep

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Giver and Guardian of our sleep, To praise thy name we wake; Still, Lord, thy helpless servants keep, For thine own mercy's sake. 2 The blessings of another day, We thankfully receive; O may we only thee obey, And to thy glory live. 3 Uphold us with thy mighty hand; Our words and thoughts restrain; And bow our souls to thy command, Nor let our faith be vain. 4 Prisoners of hope, we wait the hour Which shall salvation bring; When all we are shall own thy power, And call our Jesus King.

Author: John Keble Appears in 1,485 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear! It is not night if thou be near: O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast! 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die. 4 Be near and bless me when I wake, Ere through the world my way I take Till in the ocean of thy love I lose myself in heaven above.

Author: John Leland Appears in 598 hymnals 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 light of Sabbath eve

Author: Anon. Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 The light of Sabbath eve Is fading fast away; What record will it for us leave, To crown the closing day? 2 Is it a Sabbath spent Of fruitless time destroyed? Or have these moments to us lent Been sacredly employed? 3 To waste these Sabbath hours, O may we never dare; Nor desecrate with words of ours These sacred days of prayer. 4 But may our Sabbaths here Inspire our hearts with love; And prove a blessed foretaste clear, Of that sweet rest above.

Once more, my soul, the rising day

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 459 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day Salutes thy waking eye; Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay To Him who rules on high. 2 Night unto night his name repeats, The day renews the sound, Wide as the heavens on which he sits To turn the seasons round. 3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame; My tongue shall speak his praise: My sins might rouse his wrath to flame, But yet his wrath delays. 4 O God, let all my hours be thine, While I enjoy the light; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a peaceful night.
