Lord! thou wilt hear me when I pray
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Evening Lyrics: 1 Lord! thou wilt hear me, when I pray;
I am forever thine:
I fear before thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.
2 And, while I rest my weary head,
From cares and business free;
’Tis sweet conversing on my bed,
With my own heart and thee.
3 I pay this ev'ning sacrifice;
And, when my work is done,
Great God, my faith and hope relies
Upon thy grace alone.
Lord! thou wilt hear me when I pray
Great God! we sing that mighty hand
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances New-Year Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty hand,
By which supported, still we stand.
The op'ning year your mercy shows:
Let mercy, crown it, till it close.
2 By day, at night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
By his incessant bounty fed,
By his unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to thy guardian-care commit,
And peaceful, leave before thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depress'd,
Be thou our joy, and thou our rest:
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Ador'd through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues;
Our helper God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our souls shall boast.
Great God! we sing that mighty hand
God of our lives! thy constant care
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances New-Year Lyrics: 1 The God of our lives! thy constant care
With blessings crowns each op'ning year.
These lives, so frail, dost thou prolong,
And wake anew our annnual song.
2 How many precious souls are fled
To the dark regions of the dead,
Since, from this day, the changing sun
Through his last yearly course has run!
3 We yet survive: but who can say,
Or through the year, or month, or day,
I shall retain my vital breath,
Thus far at least in league with death?
4 That breath is thine, eternal God!
'Tis thine to fix the soul's abode.
We hold our lives from thee alone,
On earth, or in the world unknown.
5 To thee we all our pow'rs resign;
Make us and own us still as thine:
Then shall we smile, secure from fear,
Though death should blast the rising year.
6 Thy children, eager to be gone,
Bid time's impetuous tide roll on,
And land them on that blooming shore
Where years and death are known no more.
God of our lives! thy constant care
My God, how endless is thy love!
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #398 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 My God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are ev'ry ev'ning new;
And morning mercies from above
Gently descend like earthly 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 my drowsy pow'rs.
3 I yield myself to thy command;
To thee devote my nights and days:
Perpetual blessings from thy hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise. Languages: English
My God, how endless is thy love!
Hosannah with a cheerful sound
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #399 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Hosanna with a cheerful sound
To God's upholding hand!
Ten thousand snares our path surround,
And yet secure we stand.
2 How wondrous is that mighty pow'r
Which form'd us with a word!
And ev'ry day, and ev'ry hour,
We lean upon the Lord.
3 The ev'ning rests our weary head,
And mercy guards the room.
We wake, and we admire the bed
That was not made our tomb.
4 The rising morn cannot assure,
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To take our lives away.
5 God is our Sun, whose daily light
Our joy and safety brings;
Our feeble frame lies safe at night
Beneath his shady wings.

Hosannah with a cheerful sound
Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #400 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Employ my noblest pow'rs,
Whose goodness lengthens out my days,
And fills the circling hours!
2 Preserv'd by thy almighty arm,
I pass the shades of night,
Serene and safe from ev'ry harm,
And see returning light.
3 While many spent the night in sighs,
And restless pains and woes,
In gentle sleep I clos'd my eyes
And undisturb'd repose.
4 When sleep, death's semblance, o'er me spread,
And I unconscious lay;
Thy watchful care was round my bed,
To guard my feeble clay.
5 O let the same almighty care
My waking hours attend;
From ev'ry trespass, ev'ry snare,
My heedless steps defend.
6 Smile on my minutes as they roll,
And guide my future days;
And let thy goodness fill my soul
With gratitude and praise. Languages: English
Lord of my life! O may thy praise
