MORNING AND EVENING HYMNS
I
Lord god of morning and of night,
We thank thee for thy grace of light:
As in the dawn the shadows fly,
Thy presence shines on us more nigh.
We thank thee for thy grace of light:
As in the dawn the shadows fly,
Thy presence shines on us more nigh.
Fresh hopes have waken'd in the heart,
Fresh force to take the loftier part;
Thy slumber-balms our strength restore
Throughout the day to serve Thee more.
Fresh force to take the loftier part;
Thy slumber-balms our strength restore
Throughout the day to serve Thee more.
Yet whilst Thy will we would pursue,
Oft what we would we cannot do:
The sun may stand in zenith skies,
But on the soul thick midnight lies.
Oft what we would we cannot do:
The sun may stand in zenith skies,
But on the soul thick midnight lies.
O Lord of light! Thy grace alone
Can make the darken'd heart Thine own:
Cleanse then our sin-dimm'd eyes, till they
Unclose on Heaven's eternal Day!
Can make the darken'd heart Thine own:
Cleanse then our sin-dimm'd eyes, till they
Unclose on Heaven's eternal Day!
Praise God, our Maker and our Friend;
Praise Him through time, till time shall end;
Till psalm and song His name adore
Through Heaven's great day of Evermore.
Praise Him through time, till time shall end;
Till psalm and song His name adore
Through Heaven's great day of Evermore.
