Hymn 81
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 613 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:23 First Line: God, how endless is thy love! Lyrics:
God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are every evening new;
And morning mercies from above
Gently distil like early dew.
Thou spread'st the curtains of the night,
Great guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
I yield my powers to thy command,
To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
Hymn 81
New Every Morning Is the Love
Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 361 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:23 Lyrics: 1 New ev'ry morning is the love
our waking and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and pow'r, and thought.
2 New mercies each returning day
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiv'n,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heav'n.
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 The trivial round, the common task
will furnish all we need or ask:
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Seek we no more; content with these,
let present rapture, comfort, ease
as God shall bid them, come and go--
the secret, this, of rest below.
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.

'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee
Author: Henry Montague Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:41 Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee;
here at thy feet none other may we see:
'Lift up your hearts!' Even so, with one accord,
we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord.
2 Above the level of the former years,
the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears,
the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay,
O Lord of light, lift all our hearts today!
3 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given;
low lies the best till lifted up to heaven:
low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain,
till, sent from God, they mount to God again.
4 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years,
'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears,
still shall those hearts respond with full accord,
'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!' Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship; The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Dedication of people; Despair and Trouble; Holy Communion Used With Tune: WOODLANDS

and confidently waiting come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning,
and never fails to greet us each new day.

still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation,
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suffering, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
5 By gracious pow'rs so faithfully protected,
so quietly, so wonderfully near,
I'll live each day in hope, with you beside me,
and go with you through every coming year. Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,899 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:49 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
stained by sin, to thee I fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through realms unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Death and Bereavement; God in grace and mercy; God names and imags of Used With Tune: PETRA (REDHEAD No. 76)

O Worship the King

O gratefully sing his power and his love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. Used With Tune: LYONS

When All Thy Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 997 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:23-33 First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue;
and after death, in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
5 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise!

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:22 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is welcome for the sinner
and more graces for the good;
there is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we would take him at his word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord.
