My God, Is Any Hour So Sweet

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, is any hour so sweet From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet— The hour of prayer? 2. Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, And blest that hour of solemn eve, When, on the wings of prayer upborne, The world I leave. 3. Then is my strength by Thee renewed; Then are my sins by Thee forgiv’n; Then dost Thou cheer my solitude With hopes of Heav’n. 4. No words can tell what sweet relief There for my every want I find, What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind. 5. Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear; My spirit seems in Heav’n to stay; And e’en the penitential tear Is wiped away. 6. Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore, No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to Thee. Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING (Dykes) Text Sources: Hours of Sorrow, 1836

By Christ Redeemed

Author: George Rawson; Margaret Clarkson Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 195 hymnals First Line: By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored Lyrics: 1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, we keep the memory adored, and show the death of our dear Lord until he come. 2 His body, broken in our stead, is here in this memorial bread, and so our feeble love is fed until he come. 3 The drops of his dread agony, his Life-blood shed for us we see; the wine shall tell the mystery, until he come. 4 And thus that dark betrayal night with the last advent we unite, by one blest chain of loving rite, until he come. 5 Until the trumpet sound be heard, until the ancient graves be stirred, and with the great commanding word the Lord shall come. 6 [Copyrighted] Topics: Lord’s Supper Scripture: Luke 22:44 Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING

My God and Father, day by day

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 574 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God and Father, day by day, Far from my home in life's rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done." 2 Though dark my path and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer divinely taught, "Thy will be done." 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends belov'd, no longer nigh, Submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done." 4 If thou shouldst call me to resign What most I prize, it ne'er was mine; I only yield thee what was thine, "Thy will be done." 5 Let but my fainting heart be blest With thy sweet Spirit for its guest, My God, to thee I leave the rest: "Thy will be done." Amen. Topics: Christian Life Submission; Comfort; God Will of Scripture: Matthew 6:10 Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING
