Be this house forever Thine; Through it let Thy favor shine; Feed the souls that here shall meet, From Thy bounty pure and sweet. 2 Write salvation on these walls; Succor those whom sin enthralls; Lightened with celestial rays, Let these gates reflect Thy praise. Thou who dwell'st where'er is sung Praise to Thee by human tongue, With the presence of Thy grace Dwell henceforth within this place. 3 On Thine agèd servants pour Richest mercies from Thy store, And till life's brief hour shall end, Be their Guardian, Saviour, Friend. Father holy! Christ most blest! Evermore within us rest! Spirit pure, illume our ways With Thy bright, celestial rays. Amen. Used With Tune: SPANISH HYMN

A land upon whose blissful shore There rests no shadow, falls no stain; There those who meet shall part no more, And those long parted meet again. [Chorus] 3. Its skies are not like earthly skies, With varying hues of shade and light; It hath no need of suns, to rise To dissipate the gloom of night. [Chorus] 4. There sweeps no desolating wind Across the calm, serene abode. The wand'rer there a home may find Within the paradise of God. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There is a land mine eye hath seen]

Saviour, when night involves the skies

Author: T. Gisborne Appears in 73 hymnals 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.

Saa vidt som Solens Straaler stige

Author: Casper Boye Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Mission, Home Lyrics: 1 Saa vidt som Solens Straaler stige Fra Øst til Vest, i Syd og Nord, Saa lad, o Herre Lysets Rige Udbredes paa den hele Jord, At alle, som i Mørket bo, Optage Jesu Kristi Tro! 2 Som Østens blanke Stjerne førte De fromme Mænd til Bethlehem, Saa lad enhver, som Ordet hørte, Af det veiledet vandre frem, At alle Hjerter finde maa Den Frelser, de skal bygge paa! 3 Hold Kristi Kors enhver for Øie, Som paa sin Gjerning stoler trygt, Og dem, som ydmygt sig nedbøie Med Hjertet fuldt af Syndens Frygt, Som ængste sig for Dom og Grav, Giv Korset til Opreisnings Stav! 4 Styrk selv, o Herre, dem, der stride I Prøvens Stund den gode Strid! Vær nær hos alle dem, der lide, Og gjør dem Smertens Taare blid! Du er vort Haab, du er vort Skjold Mod Synd og Død og Satans Vold. 5 Din Naades Vinger overskygge Os med din Varetægt og Fred, Lad Aand og Kraft i Landet bygge, Giv Eng og Ager Frugtbarhed! Mod Krigens Sverd beskjærm vor Ro, Din Fred i Hus og Hjerte bo!
