Author: C. Wesley Appears in 463 hymnals First Line: Once more, my soul, the rising day 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 heav'ns on which He sits To turn the seasons round. 3 O God, may all my hours be thine, While I enjoy the light; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a peaceful night.

Thou art my portion, O my God!

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God! Soon as I know thy way, I hasten to obey thy word, And suffer no delay. 2 I choose the path of heavenly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The testimonies of thy grace I set before mine eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 If once I wander from thy path, I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pardoning grace. 5 Now I am thine, forever thine, O, save thy servant, Lord! Thou art my shield, my hiding-place, My hope is in thy word. Topics: Worship Law of God Used With Tune: LITCHFIELD

God's perfect law converts the soul

Author: Anon. Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul, Reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom his sure word The ignorant inspires. 2 The statutes of the Lord are just, And bring sincere delight; His pure commands of living truth Assist the feeblest sight. 3 His perfect worship here is fixed, On sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales Of truth and justice weighed; 4 Of more esteem than golden mines, Or gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops That from the comb distill. 5 My trusty counselors they are, And friendly warning give; Divine rewards attend on those Who by thy precepts live.
