'Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 237 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:15 Refrain First Line: Blessed hour of prayer Lyrics: 1 ’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus, our Savior and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
Chorus:
Blessèd hour of prayer,
Blessèd hour of prayer:
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
2 ’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when the Savior draws near,
With a tender compassion His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast at His feet every care,
What a balm for the weary, O how sweet to be there! (Chorus)
3 ’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Savior Who loves them their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! (Chorus)
4 At the blessèd hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe
That the blessing we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! (Chorus)

I bind unto myself today
Author: St. Patrick (372-466); Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:1-6 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation;
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his death on cross for my salvation;
his bursting from the spicèd tomb;
his riding up the heavenly way;
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c]
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three,
of whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Topics: The Being of God Holy and One; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; God In Creation; God in Trinity; God Protection of; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK

Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright
Author: St Joseph the Hymnogrpher, d. 883; J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:11-12 Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright,
filled with celestial resplendence and light,
these that, where night never followeth day,
raise the Trisagion ever and aye:
2 These are thy counsellors, these dost thou own,
Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest thy throne;
these are thy ministers, these dost thou send,
help of the helpless ones, us to defend.
*3 These keep the guard amid Salem's dear bowers;
Thrones, Principalities, Virtues, and Powers;
where, with the Living Ones, mystical Four,
Cherubim, Seraphim bow and adore.
4 'Who like the Lord?' thunders Michael the Chief;
Raphael, 'the Cure of God', comforteth grief;
and, as at Nazareth, prophet of peace,
Gabriel, 'the Light of God', bringeth release.
5 Then, when the earth was first poised in mid-space,
then, when the planets first sped on their race,
then, when were ended the six days’ employ,
then all the Sons of God shouted for joy.
6 Still let them succor us; still let them fight,
Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right;
till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
we with the angels may bow and adore. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: TRISAGION Text Sources: Greek hymn

Creator of the world, we pray!
Thy grace and peace to us allow
And be our guard and keeper now.

From evil dreams defend our sight;
Drive far away our wicked foe
That stain of sin we may not know.
3 O Father, this we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son,
Who with the Holy Ghost and Thee
Both lives and reigns eternally.
Amen.
