John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at Thy behest; To Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall hallow now our rest. 2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, Nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren 'neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away; Thy Kingdom stands, and grows forever Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

To thine eternal arms, O God

Author: Thomas Wentworth Higginson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thine eternal arms, O God, Take us, Thine erring children, in; From dangerous paths too boldly trod, From wandering thoughts and dreams of sin. 2 Those arms were round our childhood's ways, A guard through helpless years to be; O leave not our maturer days! We still are helpless without Thee. We trusted hope and pride and strength; Our strength proved false, our pride was vain, Our dreams have faded all at length — We come to Thee, O Lord, again! A guide to trembling steps yet be! Give us of Thine eternal powers! So shall our paths all lead to Thee, And life still smile, like childhood’s hours. Amen.

In the hour of trial

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 492 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With its witching pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 When in dust and ashes To the grave I sink, While heaven's glory flashes O'er the shelving brink, On Thy truth relying Through that mortal strife, Lord, receive me, dying, To eternal life.
