Our day of praise is done

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our day of praise is done; the evening shadows fall; but pass not from us with the sun, true Light that lightenest all. 2 Around the throne on high, where night can never be, the white-robed harpers of the sky bring ceaseless hymns to thee. 3 Too faint our anthems here; too soon of praise we tire; but O the strains how full and clear of that eternal choir! 4 Yet, Lord, to thy dear will if thou attune the heart, we in thine angels’ music still may bear our lower part. 5 ’Tis thine each soul to calm, each wayward thought reclaim, and make our life a daily psalm of glory to thy name. 6 A little while, and then shall come the glorious end; and songs of angels and of men in perfect praise shall blend.

Teach me, my God and King

Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 267 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King, in all things thee to see, and what I do in anything, to do it as for thee. 2 All may of thee partake; nothing can be so mean, which with this tincture, "for thy sake," will not grow bright and clean. 3 A servant with this clause makes drudgery divine: who sweeps a room, as for thy laws, makes that and the action fine. 4 This is the famous stone that turneth all to gold; for that which God doth touch and own cannot for less be told.

How Beauteous Are Their Feet

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 715 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found. 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Savior and their God.
