As when the weary traveller gains
Author: Rev. J. Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #677b (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 As, when the weary traveller gains
The height of some commanding hill,
His heart revives, if o'er the plains
He eyes his home, tho' distant still;
2 Thus when the Christian pilgrim views
By faith his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 The thought of heaven his spirit cheers;
No more he grieves for troubles past;
Nor any future trial fears,
So he may safe arrive at last.
4 Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay,
To lead us on to Thine abode;
Assured Thy love will far o'erpay
The hardest labors of the road.
Amen. Tune Title: [As when the weary traveller gains]
As when the weary traveller gains
My Father, for another night
Author: H. W. Baker Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #530 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My Father, for another night
Of quiet sleep and rest,
For all the joy of morning light,
Thy holy Name be blest.
2 Now with the newborn day I give
Myself anew to Thee,
That as Thou willest I may live,
And what Thou willest be.
3 Whate'er I do, things great or small,
Whate'er I speak or frame,
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' Name.
4 My Father, for His sake, I pray
Thy child accept and bless;
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. TIMOTHY
My Father, for another night
Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #531 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Forth is Thy Name, O Lord, I go,
My daily labour to pursue;
Thee, only Thee resolved to know,
In all I think, or speak or do.
2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfil;
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.
3 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see;
And labour on at Thy command,
And offer all my works to Thee.
4 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious Day.
5 Fain would I still for Thee employ
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given,
Would run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
Author: M. Xavier Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #532 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for to-day.
2 Help me to labour earnestly
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Father, to-day.
3 Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself
Gladly, to-day.
4 Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips
Through all to-day.
5 Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay:
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Dear Lord, to-day.
6 And if to-day this life of mine
Should ebb away,
Give me Thy Sacrament divine,
Father, to-day.
7 So for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray:
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Through each to-day. Languages: English Tune Title: BELLEVILLE
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
Blest are the moments, doubly blest
Author: W. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #533 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Blest are the moments, doubly blest,
That drawn from this one hour of rest,
Are with a ready heart bestowed
Upon the service of our God!
2 Each field is then a hallowed spot,
An altar is in each man's cot,
A church in every grove that spreads
Its living roof above our heads.
3 Look up to heaven, the industrious sun
Already half his race hath run
He cannot halt or go astray,
But our immortal spirits may.
4 Lord, since his rising in the east,
If we have faltered or transgressed,
Guide, from Thy love's abundant source,
What yet remains of this day's course;
5 Help with Thy grace, thro' life's short day,
Our upward and our downward way;
And glorify for us the west,
When we shall sink to final rest. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
Blest are the moments, doubly blest
Behold us, Lord, a little space
Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #534 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, a little space
From daily tasks set free,
And met within Thy holy place
To rest awhile with Thee.
2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
Of business, toil, and care;
And scarcely can we turn aside
For one brief hour of prayer.
3 Yet these are not the only walls
Wherein Thy mayst be sought;
On homeliest work Thy blessing falls
In truth and patience wrought.
4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,
The wealth of land and sea,
The worlds of science and of art,
Revealed and ruled by Thee.
5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth,
In all we do and know;
And claim the kingdom of the earth
For Thee and not Thy foe.
6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
As Thou wouldst have it done,
And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught,
Itself with work be one.
Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN
Behold us, Lord, a little space
Thro' the day Thy love has spared us
Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #535 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thro the day Thy love has spared us,
Hear us ere the hour of rest:
Thro' the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest;
Jesus, Thou our Guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes;
Us and ours preserve from dangers;
In Thine arms may we repose;
And, when life's short day is past,
Rest with Thee in heaven at last. Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKDALE
Thro' the day Thy love has spared us
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Author: C. L. Smith Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #536 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
For the day is passing by;
See! the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.
2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west,
Swift the night of death advances;
Shall it be the night of rest?
3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow;
Sinks my heart with troubled fear;
Give me faith for clearer vision,
Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer.
4 Let me hear Thy voice behind me,
Calming all these wild alarms:
Let me, underneath my weakness,
Feel the everlasting arms.
5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying,
Lord, I cast myself on Thee;
Tarry with me through the darkness,
While I sleep, still watch by me.
6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me!
Morning of eternal rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
The day is past and gone
Author: J. Leland Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #537 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone;
The evening shades appear:
O may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
2 We lay our garments by
Upon our beds to rest;
So death shall soon disrobe us all
Of what is here possest.
3 Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears. Languages: English Tune Title: HEATH
The day is past and gone
Saviour, when night involves the skies
Author: T. Gisborne Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #538 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when night involves the skies,
My soul, adoring, turns to Thee;
Thee, self-abased in mortal guise,
And wrapt in shades of death for me.
2 On Thee my waking raptures dwell,
When crimson gleams the east adorn,
Thee, Victor of the grave and hell,
Thee, source of life's eternal morn.
3 When noon her throne in light arrays,
To Thee my soul triumphant springs;
Thee, throned in glory's endless blaze,
Thee, Lord of lords and King of kings.
4 O'er earth, when shades of ev'ning steal,
To death and Thee my tho'ts I give;
To death, whose power I soon must feel,
To Thee, with Whom I trust to live. Languages: English Tune Title: SWEDEN
Saviour, when night involves the skies
