The Day You Gave Us
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 306 hymnals Topics: Praying First Line: The day you gave us, God, is ended Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, God, is ended;
the darkness falls at your request.
To you our morning hymns ascended;
your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank you that your church, unsleeping
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world its watch is keeping,
and never rests by day or night.
3 As over continent and island
each dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor do the praises die away.

like earth’s proud empires, pass away.
Your reign endures and grows forever,
until there dawns your glorious day. Scripture: Psalm 42:8 Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT Text Sources: Church Hymns, 1871, alt.
The Day You Gave Us
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Praying Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens,
infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance
through the silent fields of space;
we, your children in your likeness,
share inventive pow’rs with you.
Great creator still creating,
show us what we yet may do.
2 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
since the childhood of our race,
known the ecstasy of winging
through untraveled realms of space,
probed the secrets of the atom,
yielding unimagined pow’r,
facing us with life’s destruction
or our most triumphant hour.
3 As each far horizon beckons,
may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose
serving others, hon’ring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
each endeavor well begun.
Great creator, give us guidance
till our goals and yours are one. Scripture: Genesis 1:1-19 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Contemporary Worship I, 1969, alt.
