1

Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing,

Fill our hearts with joy and peace

Let us each, Thy love possessing,

Triumph in redeeming grace.

Oh, refresh us, Oh, refresh us,

Trav'lling thro' this wilderness.

2

Thanks we give, and adoration,

For Thy gospel's joyful sound

May the fruits of Thy salvation

In our hearts and lives abound.

Ever faithful, Ever faithful

To the truth may we be found. Amen.

Lord, let us now depart in peace,

Who in Thy name are gathered here;

Disclose the brightness of Thy face,

And be forever near. Amen.

1

Day is dying in the west,

Heaven is touching earth with rest

Wait and worship while the night

Sets her evening lamps alight Thro' all the sky.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!

Heaven and earth are full of Thee!

Heaven and earth are praising

Thee, O Lord Most High! Amen.

2

Lord of life, beneath the dome

Of the universe, Thy home,

Gather us, who seek Thy face,

To the fold of Thy embrace, For Thou art nigh.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!

Heaven and earth are full of Thee!

Heaven and earth are praising

Thee, O Lord Most High! Amen.

3

While the deepening shadows fall,

Heart of Love, enfolding all,

Thro' the glory and the grace

Of the stars that veil Thy face, Our hearts ascend.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!

Heaven and earth are full of Thee!

Heaven and earth are praising

Thee, O Lord Most High! Amen.

4

When forever from our sight

Pass the stars, the day, the night,

Lord of angels, on our eyes

Let eternal morning rise, And shadows end!

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!

Heaven and earth are full of Thee!

Heaven and earth are praising

Thee, O Lord Most High! Amen.

1

Ye that have spent the silent night

In sleep and quiet rest,

And joy to see the cheerful light

That riseth in the east

Now lift your hearts, your voices raise,

Your morning tribute bring,

And pay a grateful song of praise

To heaven's almighty King.

2

And as this gloomy night did last

But for a little space,

As heavenly day, now night is past,

Doth show his pleasant face,

So let us hope, when faith and love

Their work on earth have done,

God's blessed face to see above,

Heaven's better, brighter Sun.

3

God grant us grace that height to gain,

That glorious sight to see,

And sent us, after worldly pain,

A life from trouble free,

Where cheerful day shall ever shine,

And sorrow never come

Lord, be a place, a portion, mine

In that bright blissful home. Amen.

1

O Light of life, O Savior dear,

Before we sleep bow down Thine ear:

Through dark and day, o'er land and sea,

We have no other hope but Thee.

2

Oft from Thy royal road we part,

Lost in the mazes of the heart:

Our lamps put out, our course forgot,

We seek for God, and find Him not.

3

What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight!

What dawning risen upon the night!

Thou giv'st Thy self to us, and we

Find guide and path and all in Thee.

4

Through day and darkness, Savior dear,

Abide with us, more nearly near

Till on Thy face we lift our eyes,

The Sun of God's own Paradise. Amen.

1

Morning hymns, O Lord, with praises

For the past night's gentle rest

Safe in Thee, the heart upraises

To Thy name, forever blest!

2

Health of body, peace of spirit!

Breath of life and hearts at ease!

Illness heal'd by Jesus' merit!

Praise we God for all of these.

3

As Thy love has shin'd around us

Through the watches of the night.

So, through earth's dark night surround us

With Thine own immortal light.

4

Hear, O spirit, our petition:

From this day our lives control.

Bring Thy work to full fruition,

Make us perfect, make us whole! Amen.

1

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,

It is not night if Thou be near:

O may no earthborn cloud arise

To hide Thee form 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

Forever on my Saviour's breast.

3

Abide with me form morn till eve,

For without Thee I cannot live

Abide with me when night is nigh,

For without Thee I dare not die.

4

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 heav'n above. Amen.

1

Father, we praise Thee, now the night is over

Active and watchful, stand we all before Thee

Singing, we offer prayer and meditation

Thus we adore Thee.

2

Monarch of all things, fit us for Thy mansions

Banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending

Bring us to heaven, where Thy saints united

Joy without ending.

3

All holy Father, Son, and equal Spirit,

Trinity blessed, send us Thy salvation

Thine is the glory, gleaming and resounding

Thro' all creation. Amen.

1

We give Thee but Thine own,

Whate'er the gift may be

All that we have is Thine alone,

A trust, O Lord, from Thee.

2

May we Thy bounties thus

As stewards true receive,

And gladly, as Thou blessest us,

To Thee our first-fruits give.

3

To comfort and to bless,

To find a balm for woe,

To tend the lone and fatherless,

Is angel's work below.

4

The captive to release,

To God the lost to bring,

To teach the way of life and peace

It is a Christ-like thing.

5

And we believe Thy word,

Though dim our faith may be

Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord,

We do it unto Thee. Amen.

All things come of Thee, O Lord,

and of Thine own have we given Thee. Amen

1

All to Jesus I surrender,

All to Him I freely give

I will ever love and trust Him,

In His presence daily live.

I surrender all I surrender all

All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender all.

2

All to Jesus I surrender,

Humbly at His feet I bow,

Worldly pleasure all forsaken,

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

I surrender all I surrender all

All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender all.

3

All to Jesus I surrender,

Make me, Saviour, Wholly Thine

Let me feel the Holy Spirit,

Truly know that Thou art mine.

I surrender all I surrender all

All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender all.

1

There'll be show'rs of blessing from our Father's hand,

On His word of promise we may firmly stand:

There'll be rains refreshing on the thirsty land,

When the tithes are gathered in.

Tithes of love and willing service,

Tithes of silver and of gold

When the tithes are gathered in,

When the tithes are gathered in,

There'll be blessing more than we can contain,

When the tithes are gathered in.

2

There'll be shouts of triumph from the conq'ring host,

There'll be perfect freedom in the Holy Ghost

Ev'ry on empowered as at Pentecost.

When the tithes are gathered in.

Tithes of love and willing service,

Tithes of silver and of gold

When the tithes are gathered in,

When the tithes are gathered in,

There'll be blessing more than we can contain,

When the tithes are gathered in.

3

Then will come the dawning of the reign of peace,

When the wars and conflicts shall forever cease,

And for struggling saints shall come a sweet release,

When the tithes are gathered in.

4

We will rob no longer, then, our Lord and King,

What to Him belongeth we will gladly bring,

And we'll shout hosanna, while the glad harps ring,

When the tithes are gathered in.

Tithes of love and willing service,

Tithes of silver and of gold

When the tithes are gathered in,

When the tithes are gathered in,

There'll be blessing more than we can contain,

When the tithes are gathered in.

1

Unto the hills around do I lift up

My longing eyes

O whence for me shall my salvation come,

From whence arise

From God the Lord doth come my certain aid,

From God the Lord who heaven and earth hath made.

2

He will not suffer that thy foot be moved:

Safe shalt thou be.

No careless slumber shall His eyelids close,

Who keepeth thee.

Behold, He sleepeth not, He slumbereth ne'er

Who keepeth Israel in His holy care.

3

Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true,

Thy changeless shade

Jehovah thy defense on thy right hand

Himself hath made.

And thee no sun by day shall ever smite

No moon shall harm thee in the silent night.

4

From every evil shall He keep thy soul,

From every sin

Jehovah shall preserve thy going out,

Thy coming in.

Above thee watching, He whom we adore

Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, forevermore. Amen.

1

O God, the Rock of Ages,

Who evermore hast been,

What time the tempest rages,

Our dwelling place serene:

Before Thy first creations,

O Lord, the same as now,

To endless generations

The Everlasting Thou!

2

Our years are like the shadows

On sunny hills that lie,

Or grasses in the meadows

That blossom but to die

A sleep, a dream, a story,

By strangers quickly told,

An unremaining glory

Of things that soon are old.

3

O Thou, who dost not slumber,

Whose light grows never pale,

Teach us aright to number

Our years before they fail

On us Thy mercy lighten,

On us Thy goodness rest,

And let Thy Spirit brighten

The hearts Thyself hast blessed. Amen.

1

The spacious firmament on high,

With all the blue ethereal sky,

And spangled heavens, a shining frame,

Their great Original proclaim:

Th' unwearied sun, from day to day,

Does his Creator's power display,

And publishes to every land

The work of an almighty hand.

2

Soon as the evening shades prevail,

The moon takes up the wondrous tale,

And nightly to the listening earth

Repeats the story of her birth:

Whilst all the stars that round her burn,

And all the planets in their turn,

Confirm the tidings as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

3

What though in solemn silence all

Move round this dark terrestrial ball

What though no real voice nor sound

Amidst the radiant orbs be found

In reason's ear they all rejoice,

And utter forth a glorious voice

Forever singing, as they shine,

"The hand that made us is divine." Amen.

1

Lord of all being, throned afar,

Thy glory flames from sun and star

Center and soul or every sphere,

Yet to each loving heart how near!

2

Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray

Sheds on our path the glow of day

Star of our hope, Thy softened light

Cheers the long watches of the night.

3

Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn

Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn

Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign

All, save the clouds of sun, are Thine.

4

Lord of all life, below, above,

Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,

Before Thy ever blazing throne

We ask no luster of our own.

5

Grant us Thy truth to make us free,

And kindling hearts that burn for Thee

Till all Thy living altars claim

One holy light, one heavenly flame! Amen.

1

God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest

Thunder Thy clarion, the lightning Thy sword

Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest

Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

2

God the All merciful! Earth hath forsaken

Meekness and mercy, and slighted Thy word

Let not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken

Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

3

God the All righteous One! Man hath defied Thee

Yet to eternity standeth Thy word

Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee

Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

4

So shall Thy people, with thankful devotion,

Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,

Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,

Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Amen.

1

This is my Father's world,

And to my list'ning ears,

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:

I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas

His hand the wonders wrought.

2

This is my Father's world,

The birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white,

Declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world:

He shines in all that's fair

In the rustling grass I hear him pass,

He speaks to me everywhere.

3

This is my Father's world,

O let me ne'er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the Ruler yet,

This is my Father's world:

The battle is not done

Jesus who died shall be satisfied,

And earth and heav'n be one. Amen.

1

God is our refuge strong,

Let all who suffer wrong Find welcome here.

Here, though earth stand no more, Though oceans rage and roar

And break the mountains o'er, We shall not fear.

2

Peoples and nations shake

When raging heathen make Their malice felt.

But once a single word Of our Lord's voice was heard

A greater thing occurred: The earth did melt.

3

Our God, the Lord of all,

Our help, our tower tall, Will not us fail.

To earth's remotest shore He makes wars rage no more

Sword, spear, the tools of war Can naught avail.

4

Our Lord, great God above,

Saves us in pow'r and love Praise ye the Lord!

Though grief and pain be rife, Sharp woe and bitter strife,

Our refuge and our life Is our Lord God.

1

God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform

He plants His footsteps in the sea

And rides upon the storm.

2

Deep in unfathomable mines

Of never-failing skill

He treasures up His bright designs

And works His sovereign will.

3

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take

The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings on your head.

4

Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan His work in vain

God is His own interpreter,

And He will make it plain. Amen.
