When Morning Gilds the Skies
Author: E. Caswall Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 702 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking, cries,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Alike at work and prayer,
to Jesus I repair.
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
2 The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
The pow'rs of darkness fear
when this sweet chant they hear:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
3 Ye nations of mankind
in this your concord find:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
4 To God, the Word on High,
the hosts of angels cry,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Let mortals, too, upraise
their voice in hymns of praise:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
3 Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, when day is past,
of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
5 In heav'n's eternal bliss
the loveliest strain is this:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
6 Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Be this th'eternal song
through all the ages long:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"

The time is drawing nigh
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics:
The time is drawing nigh,
Even now the day is near,
When Christ from heaven high
To judgement shall appear;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.
Then kings and princes great,
The rich and poor shall meet;
And high and low estate
Shall gather round His feet;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.
No crafty words shall mar,
Nor sophistry distract;
No parrying counsel jar
With the eternal fact;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.
119
O Christ, in mercy then,
Forbid my soul should go
With lost and ruined men,
Down to the place of woe;
Keep watch, my soul, in fear,
The Judge of men is near.

I Gave My Life for Thee
Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1836-79 Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 543 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I gave my life for thee;
My precious blood I shed
That thou might'st ransomed be
And quickened from the dead.
I gave my life for thee;
Come, give thyself to me!
2 My Father's home of light,
My rainbow-circled throne,
I left for earthly night,
For wand'rings sad and lone.
I left it all for thee;
Come now and follow me!
3 I spent long years for thee
In weariness and woe
That an eternity
Of joy thou mightest know.
I spent long years for thee;
Come, spend thy years for me.
4 I suffered much for thee,
More than my tongue may tell,
Of bitt'rest agony,
To rescue thee from hell.
I suffered much for thee;
Come, bear thy cross with me.
5 And I have brought to thee
Down from my home above
Salvation full and free,
My pardon and my love.
Great gifts I brought for thee;
Come, bring thy gifts to me.
6 Oh, let thy life be spent,
Thy years for me be giv'n,
As I for thee was sent
To bear thee home to heav'n.
I gave my life for thee;
Come, give thy life to me. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: OLD 120TH

Your Love Will Be My Song
With gladsome hearts we come
Author: Lillie MacLeod Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With gladsome hearts we come
within our holy home,
Our Saviour's Name to sing
Oh, well His House we love!
Oh, joy all joys above,
To praise the children's King!
2 The angels sing on high
Thy glory through the sky,
And then to earth they wing;
To guard us while we sleep,
And as their watch they keep,
To praise the children's King.
3 Oh, may we, while we live,
Such willing service give,
A holy offering!
And still Thy glory show
By deeds of love below,
To praise the children's King.
4 And may our hearts aspire
To join the heavenly choir,
Whose strains forever ring;
And learn on earth their hymn,
The song of seraphim
To praise the children's King.
5 O Light of Light, to Thee
Let earth and sky and sea
Eternal homage bring;
And grant us through Thy love,
Before Thy throne above,
To praise the children's King.
With gladsome hearts we come
