New every morning is the love

Author: J. Keble Hymnal: CHRC1920 #1 (1920) Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Thro' sleep and darkness safely brought Restor'd to life, and pow'r, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be As more of heaven in each we see; Some softening gleam of love and prayer Shall dawn on every cross and care. 5 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we need to ask; Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer God. 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Author: Thomas Ken Hymnal: CHRC1920 #2 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and early rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last; Improve thy talent with due care; For the great Day thyself prepare. 3 Let all Thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noonday clear; Think how all-seeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys. 4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the an-gels bear thy part, Who all night long, unwearied, sing High praise to the eternal King. 5 All praise to Thee, Who safe has kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake I may of endless light partake. 6 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Scatter my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 7 Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do, or say; That all my pow'rs, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 8 Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow, Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, angelic host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Come, my soul, thou must be waking!

Author: H. J. Buckoll; F. R. L. Canitz Hymnal: CHRC1920 #3 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thou must be waking! Now is breaking O'er the earth another day: Come, to Him Who made this splendour, See thou render All thy feeble strength can pay. 2 Gladly hail the sun returning, Ready burning Be the incense of thy powers; For the night is safely ended, God hath tended With His care thy helpless hours. 3 Pray that He may prosper ever Each endeavour, When thine aim is good and true; But that He may ever thwart thee, And convert thee, When thou evil would'st pursue. 4 Think that He thy ways beholdeth; He unfoldeth Every fault that lurks within; He the hidden shame glossed over Can discover, And discern each deed of sin. 5 Mayest thou on life's last morrow, Free from sorrow, Pass away in slumber sweet; And, released from death's dark sadness, Rise in gladness, That far brighter Sun to greet. 6 Only God's free gifts abuse not, Light refuse not, But His Spirit's voice obey; Thou with Him shall dwell, behold Light enfolding All things in unclouded day.

Ev'ery morning mercies new

Author: G. Phillimore Hymnal: CHRC1920 #4 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Ev'ry morning mercies new Fall as fresh as morning dew; Ev'ry morning let us pay Tribute with the early day; For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure; Thy compassion doth endure. 2 Still the greatness of Thy love Daily doth our sins remove; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast; Gives unbought, to those who pray, Strength to stand in evil day. 3 Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's power within, Feed us with the Bread of Life; Fit us for our daily strife. 4 As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendour burns, Teach us still to turn to Thee, Every blessed Trinity, With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise.

O Jesus, crucified for man

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: CHRC1920 #5 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, crucified for man, O Lamb, all glorious on Thy throne, Teach Thou our wondering souls to scan The mystery of Thy love unknown. 2 We pray Thee, grant us strength to take Our daily cross, whate'er it be, And gladly for Thine own dear sake In paths of pain to follow Thee. 3 As on our daily way we go, Thro' light or shade, in calm or strife, O may we bear Thy marks below In conquered sin and chastened life. 4 And week by week this day we ask That holy memories of Thy Cross May sanctify each common task, And turn to gain each earthly loss. 5 Grant us, dear Lord, our cross to bear Till at Thy feet we lay it down, Win thro' Thy blood our pardon there, And thro' the cross attain the crown.

The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #7 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows; O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now; Where Thou art present, darkness cannot be, Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end: Onward to darkness and to death we tend: O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide, Be thou our light (dim) in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3 Thou, Who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succours fail: When all is dark (er) may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice, "Fear not, for it is I." 4 The weary world is mouldering to decay, Its glories wane, its pageants fade away; In that last sunset when the stars shall fall, May we arise awakened by Thy call, With Thee, O Lord, for ever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide.

The radiant morn hath pass'd away

Author: G. Thring Hymnal: CHRC1920 #8 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath pass'd away, And spent too soon her golden store; The shadows of departing day Creep on once more. 2 Our life is but a fading dawn, Its glorious noon, how quickly past; Lead us, O Christ, our life-work done, Safe home at last. 3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace Uplift our hearts to realms on high; Help us to look to that bright place Beyond the sky. 4 Where light, and life, and joy, and peace In undivided empire reign, And thronging angels never cease Their deathless strain; 5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white, And evening shadows never fall, Where Thou, eternal Light of Light, Art Lord of all.

The sun is sinking fast

Author: E. Caswall Hymnal: CHRC1920 #10 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies; Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the Cross His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resigned; 3 So now herself my soul Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In Whom all spirits live; 4 So now beneath His eye Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast; 5 Save that His will be done, Whate'er betide; Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside. 6 Thus would I live: yet now Not I, but He, In all His power and love, Henceforth alive in me. 7 One sacred Trinity, One Lord divine, May I be ever His, And He for ever mine.

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble Hymnal: CHRC1920 #11 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou 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 the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till even, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake Ere through the world our way we take Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: CHRC1920 #12 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away, Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes: Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Softly now the light of day

Author: G. W. Doane Hymnal: CHRC1920 #13 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labour free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou, Whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall for ever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. 4 Thou, Who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

At even, when the sun was set

Author: H. Twells Hymnal: CHRC1920 #14 (1920) Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away. 2 Once more 't is eventide, and we Oppress'd with various ills draw near; What if Thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; For some are sick, and some are sad. And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free, And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in Thee. 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would love Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried, Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from Thee can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all.

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: A. A. Procter Hymnal: CHRC1920 #15 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the dark'ning sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie. 2 Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 3 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. 4 The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 5 Slowly the rays of daylight fade: So fade within our heart The hopes in earthly love and joy, That one by one depart. 6 Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Within the heavens shine: Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, And trust in things divine. 7 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: 8 Give us a respite from our toil; Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labour, Lord, O give us now repose.

O Jesus, make their darkness light, And save me through the coming night! 3 The toils of day are over; I raise the hymn to Thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of fear may be: O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night. 4 Lighten mine eyes, O Saviour, Or sleep in death shall I, And he, my wakeful tempter, Triumphantly shall cry "He could not make their darkness light, Nor guard them through the hours of night." 5 Be Thou my soul's preserver, O God! for Thou dost know How many are the perils Through which I have to go. Lover of men, O hear my call, And guard and save me from them all! Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANATOLIUS
