"A word of Blessing"

Author: Richard Massie Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Close of Service; Close of Worship; Close of Worship First Line: O Lord, who by thy presence hast made light Lyrics: 1 O Lord, who by thy presence hast made light The heat and burden of the toilsome day, Be with us also in the silent night, Be with us when the daylight fades away. 2 Oh, speak a word of blessing, gracious Lord! Thy blessing is endued with soothing power; On human hearts worn out with toil, thy word Falls soft and gentle as the evening shower. 3 Come then, O Lord, and deign to be our guest, After the day's confusion, toil, and din; Oh, come to bring us peace, and joy, and rest, To give salvation, and to pardon sin! 4 Bind up the wounds, assuage the aching smart Left in each bosom from the day just past, And let us on a Father's loving heart Forget our griefs, and find sweet rest at last.

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 497 hymnals Topics: Opening and Closing of the Year Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand by which supported still we stand; the opening year thy mercy shows; that mercy crowns it till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, still are we guarded by our God; by his incessant bounty fed, by his unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; the future, all to us unknown, we to thy guardian care commit, and peaceful leave before thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed, thou art our joy, and thou our rest; thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt these songs, and seal in silence mortal tongues, our helper God, in whom we trust, shall keep our souls and guard our dust.

I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There, thy blood-bought right maintain, And, without a rival, reign. 4 While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey's end. 5 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death.

O may thy will be mine; into thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow, or through joy, conduct me as thine own; and help me still to say, "My Lord, thy will be done." 2 My Jesus, as thou wilt! If needy here and poor, give me thy people's bread, their portion rich and sure. The manna of thy Word let my soul feed upon; and if all else should fail, my Lord, thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, let not my star of hope grow dim or disappear. Since thou on earth hast wept, and sorrowed oft alone, if I must weep with thee, my Lord, thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as thou wilt! All shall be well for me; each changing future scene I gladly trust with thee. Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, and sing, in life or death, "My Lord, thy will be done." Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Used With Tune: JEWETT

Immovably founded in grace, She stands as she ever has stood; And soon, at the end of our race, We'll rest in that city of God. Used With Tune: CONTRAST
