All praise to thee, my God, this night
Author: Thomas Ken (1637-1711) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,051 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 63:6-7 Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, my God, this night,
for all the blessings of the light!
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
beneath thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
the ill that I this day have done,
that with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
the grave as little as my bed;
teach me to die, that so I may
rise glorious at the awesome day.
4 O may my soul on thee repose,
and may sweet sleep mine eyelids close, --
sleep that may me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.
5 When in the night I sleepless lie,
my soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
no powers of darkness me molest.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, ye heavenly host;
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; Purity Of Heart; Renewal Used With Tune: TALLIS'S CANON

O God, you are my God alone
O God, my gracious God, to Thee
Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 63 Lyrics: 1 O God, my gracious God, to Thee
My morning Pray'rs shall offer'd be;
For Thee my thirsty Soul does pant;
My fainting Flesh implores thy Grace,
Within this dry and barren Place
Where I refreshing Waters want.
2 O! to my longing Eyes once more,
That View of glorious Pow'r restore,
Which thy majestic House displays:
3 Because to me thy wond'rous Love
Than Life itself does dearer prove,
My Lips shall always speak thy Praise.
4 My Life, while I that Life enjoy,
In blessing God I will employ;
With lifted Hands adore his Name:
5 My soul's Content shall be as great
As theirs who choicest Dainties eat,
While I with Joy his Praise proclaim.
6 When I down lie, sweet Sleep to find,
Thou, Lord, art present to my Mind;
And when I wake in Dead of Night:
7 Because Thou still dost Succour bring,
Beneath the Shadow of thy Wing
I rest with Safety and Delight.
8 My Soul, when Foes would me devour,
Cleaves fast to thee, whose matchless Pow'r
In her Support is daily shown:
9 But those the righteous Lord shall slay,
That my Destruction wish; and they
that seek my Life, shall lose their own.
10,11 They by untimely Ends shall die,
Their Flesh a Prey to Foxes lie;
But God shall fill the King with Joy:
Who swears by Thee shall still rejoice;
Whilst the false Tongue, and lying voice,
Thou Lord, shalt silence and destroy.
O God, my gracious God, to Thee

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,055 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 63:3 First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyous lays Lyrics: 1 Awake my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from me,
His loving kindness, O how free!
2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall,
Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all;
He sav'd me from my lost estate,
His loving kindness O how great!
3 Tho' num'rous hosts of mighty foes,
Tho' earth, and ehll, my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His living kindness, O how strong!
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gather'd thick, and thunder'd loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness, O how good!
5 Often I feel my sinful heart,
Prone from my Jesys to depart;
But tho' I have him oft' forgot,
His loving kindness changes not.
6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal pow'rs must fail;
Oh! may my last expiring breath,
His loving kindness sing, in death.
7 Then let me mount and soar away,
To the bright world of endless day;
And sing with rapture, and surprise,
His loving kindness, in the skies. Topics: The Eternal and Unchangeable Love of God, commemorated in Hymns of Thanksgiving Text Sources: Rippon's Coll.

as freedom after bondage,
as sunrise to the day;
as home to the traveler
and all we long to see,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.

Psalm 63: God is My Great Desire
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 63 First Line: God is my great desire Lyrics: 1 God is my great desire,
his face I seek the first;
to him my heart and soul aspire,
for him I thirst.
As one in desert lands,
whose very flesh is flame,
in burning love I lift my hands
and bless his name.
2 God is my true delight,
my richest feast his praise,
through silent watches of the night,
through all my days.
To him my spirit clings,
on him my soul is cast;
beneath the shadow of his wings
he holds me fast.
3 God is my strong defense
in every evil hour;
in him I face with confidence
the tempter's power.
I trust his mercy sure
with truth and triumph crowned:
my hope and joy forevermore
in him are found.
