The Day You Gave Us, God, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 306 hymnals Topics: Proper 12 Year A Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, God, is ended,
the sun is sinking in the west;
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 a watch is keeping
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
your church beneath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, God! Your throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
your rule remains and grows forever,
until there dawns that glorious day. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco da Siena (d. 1434); Richard Frederick Littledale (1833-1890) Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Proper 12 Year B Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: John 13:31-35 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
Come down, O Love divine

bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
still let your Spirit unto us be given
to heal earth's wounds and end our bitter strife.
3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways,
showing to wandering souls the path of light:
walk now beside us lest the tempting byways
lure us away from you to endless night.
4 Hope of the world, who by your cross has saved us
from death and dark despair, from sin and guilt:
we render back the love your mercy gave us;
take now our lives, with them your kingdom build.
5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious,
who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
we would be faithful to your gospel glorious.
You are our Lord! You shall forever reign! Used With Tune: DONNE SECOURS

O what on earth so dear?
for there, in faith adored,
we find thy presence near.

for mercies freely giv'n;
but O, we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.

that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.

in work that keeps faith sure and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong,

far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live. Used With Tune: MARYTON

in all life. thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish, like leaves on the tree,
then wither and perish; but naught changeth thee.

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render, O help us to see
'tis only the splendour of light hideth thee. Used With Tune: ST DENIO

upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand.

the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.

my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply:
the flame shall not hurt you, I only design
your dross to consume, and your gold to refine.

I will not -- I will not desert to his foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never -- no, never -- no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: ST DENIO Text Sources: Rippon's A Selection of Hymns, 1787
