Above my eye

Hymnal: MSST1897 #107 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Above my eye, The lovely sky, Aloft and bright With tender light,-- With sun's clear ray,-- The eye of day,-- With moon's pale beam, With starry gleam. 2 Within my breast, A light most blest, A light like day Of sunny ray, Like rising moon, When day is done, Like trembling star, In heaven afar. 3 Within, the light; Without, the light; And both from God Are shed abroad; He shines afar, In sun and star; And with His beams The spirit gleams. Tune Title: [Above my eye]

Good night

Hymnal: MSST1897 #28 (1897) First Line: All good night! Lyrics: 1 All good night! Now is labor ended quite! Now the day is softly closing, Busy hands from foil reposing, 'Till new morning wakes in light. All good night! 2 Sweet repose! Now all weary eyelids close! Silence rests on field and mountain, Softly murmur brook and fountain, Peace o'er all things night fall throws; Sweet repose! 3 Peaceful sleep! Sleep till morning's dawn doth peep! Sleep until another morrow, Brings its care and joy and sorrow, Sleep, our Father watch will keep; Peaceful sleep! Tune Title: [All good night!]

"The days of thy youth"

Hymnal: MSST1897 #103 (1897) First Line: Amid the blue and starry sky Lyrics: 1 Amid the blue and starry sky, A group of hours, one ev'n, Met, as they took their upward flight Into the highest heaven. And ever higher, higher still, Each hour sped on its way,-- Locked in its bosom evermore The deeds and thoughts of day. 2 And some had gold and purple wings, Some droop'd like fading flow'rs; And sadly soar'd to tell the tale That they were misspent hours. Some glowed with rosy hope and smiles, And some had many a tear; Others had unkind words and acts To carry upward there. 3 O use the flying hours aright, As on the ear they chime; The golden wings by which the day Flies down the night of time; And if we use them as they fly, The wings of gold so fleet Will leave behind, reflected far, A lustre round our feet. Tune Title: [Amid the blue and starry sky]

Another year

Hymnal: MSST1897 #74 (1897) First Line: Another year has passed away Refrain First Line: Our prayers and praise this day we raise Lyrics: 1 Another year has passed away, In silence gone forever; Yet memory shall bid it stay. Its acts shall perish never! Chorus: Our prayers and praise this day we raise To him who all things freely gives, That by his side we may abide, abide, Where he forever perfect lives. 2 And has it passed away unblessed? Have all its hours been wasted? Not all, yet far too much in rest The joys of God we've tasted. [Chorus] 3 And does the lesson we receive, Bid us to faint in sorrow? Oh no! it bids us look and live, And hope from faith to borrow. [Chorus] 4 And forward, in the coming year, We'll strive to win the blessing, And tho' in darkness never fear, The love of God confessing. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Another year has passed away]

Glad worship

Hymnal: MSST1897 #41 (1897) First Line: Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul Lyrics: 1 Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul, Nor let thy feet falter from terror’s control; God loves not the sadness of fear and mistrust; O, serve Him with gladness,—the Loving and Just! 2 His bounty is tender, His being is love; His smile fills with splendor the blue arch above; Confiding, believing, O, enter always His courts with thanksgiving, His portals with praise! 3 Come not to His temple with pride in thy mien, But lowly and simple, in courage serene; Bring meekly before Him the faith of a child, Bow down and adore Him with heart undefiled! Tune Title: [Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul]

"The night cometh, & again the morning"

Hymnal: MSST1897 #61 (1897) First Line: At dawn the clouds hang dark Lyrics: 1 At dawn the clouds hang dark, And heavy trails the robe of sight, And in the sky no spark Of star or moon-beam bright; But soon the morning breeze awakes, and lo! and lo! The clouds disperse, the daylight breaks, and lo! and lo! The sun breaks free in majesty and pours his splendid light. 2 And when all through the day The clouds hang darkly still and sad, And will not fly away,-- Like gloom that haunts the bad, Soon comes the evening glowing rod, and see! and see! The clouds are gone that overspread, and see! and see! The shining west in splendor dressed, and all the earth is glad. 3 So when upon the heart A gloom hangs drear and dark to view, And weary seems the part It is your lot to do, The sun will shine out, first or last! Behold! behold! The clouds have gone that overcast! Behold! behold! The day doth clear, there is no fear, take courage, and be true. Tune Title: [At dawn the clouds hang dark]

Awake, awake the tuneful voice!

Hymnal: MSST1897 #14 (1897) First Line: Awake, awake the tuneful voice Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake the tuneful voice, And strike the joyful strings; We'll pour the mellow notes along, And raise a pealing, glad'ning song, 'Till heaven with music rings. 2 'Tis not the cold and formal strain, That wakes the inward flame, But 'tis the song that glows like fire, The songs that feeling hearts inspire, A music worth the name. 3 But hark! those sweet concordant notes That breathed a magic spell, That seem like sounds which angels sing, Like sounds which have in heaven their spring, Where holy beings dwell; 4 'Tis these that glow from friendship's soul, 'Tis these that speak the heart; 'Tis these that show the peaceful mind, The spirit meek, and pure, and kind, Unstained by vicious art. 5 O yet, 'tis here that music dwells, In friendship's sweet abode; 'Tis here that notes concordant sound, 'Tis here that harmony is found, Like that which dwells with God. Tune Title: [Awake, awake the tuneful voice]

Be firm and be faithful

Hymnal: MSST1897 #55 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Be firm and be faithful; Desert not the right; The brave become bolder, The darker the night; Then up and be doing, Tho' cowards may fail; Thy duty pursuing, dare all, and prevail! 2 If scorn be thy portion, If hatred and loss, If stripes or a prison, Remember the cross! God watches above thee, And he will requite; Stand firm and be faithful, desert not the right! Tune Title: [Be firm and be faithful]

Bright things can never die

Hymnal: MSST1897 #10 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Bright things can never die, E'en though they fade. Beauty and minstrelsy, Deathless were made. What tho' the summer day, Passes at eve away, Doth not the moon's soft ray, Silver the night? 2 Kind words can never die; Cherished and blest, God knows how deep they lie, Stored in the breast. Like childhood's simple rhymes, Said o'er a thousand times, They in all years and climes, Strengthen and cheer. 3 Childhood can never die; Wrecks of the past, Float o'er the memory, Bright to the last. Many a happy thing, Shall to the spirit cling, And on Time's healing wing, Come evermore. Tune Title: [Bright things can never die]
