Morn Breaks O'er Thee

Author: J. F. Rusling Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee Lyrics: 1 Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee And all the midnight shadows flee; Ting'd are the distant skies with glory, A beacon light hangs out for thee. Arise! arise! the light breaks o'er thee, Thy name is graven on the throne; Thy home is in that world of glory Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. 2 Toss'd on the rude, relentless surges, Calmly compos'd and dauntless, stand; For lo, beyond these scenes emerges The hights that bound the promis'd land. Behold! behold! the land is nearing, Where storms of evil rage no more; Hark, how the heav'nly hosts are cheering! See in what throngs they range the shore. 3 Cheer up, cheer up, the day breaks o'er thee, Bright as the summer's noontide ray; The starry crowns and realms of glory Invite thy happy soul away. Away! away! leave all for glory, Thy name is graven on the throne, Thy home is in that world of beauty Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT

Sing to the Lord the children's hymn

Author: Robert Stephen Hawker, 1804 - 75 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Church Life and Work Home and Family Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord the children’s hymn, His gentle love declare, Who bends amid the seraphim To hear the children’s prayer. 2 He at a mother’s breast was fed, Though God’s own Son was he; He learnt the first small words he said At a meek mother’s knee. A-men. 3 He held us to his mighty breast, The children of the earth; He lifted up his hands and blessed The babes of human birth. 4 Lo! from the stars his face will turn On us with glances mild; The angels of His presence yearn To bless the little child. 5 Keep us, O Jesus Lord, for thee, That so by thy dear grace We, children of the font, may see Our heavenly Father’s face. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. HUGH

Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy Name. 4 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force, And fill Thy churches far and wide; Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquests of Thy Word! Amen. Scripture: Matthew 9:38 Used With Tune: ICH WILL DICH LIEBEN

I love to steal a while away

Appears in 637 hymnals Topics: Love The Home Lyrics: 1 I love to steal a while away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all His promises to plead Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think of mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.
