Now the shades of night are gone

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #291 (1893) Lyrics: 1 NOW the shades of night are gone, Now the morning light is come; Lord, may I be Thine to-day, Drive the shades of sin away. 2 Fill our souls with heavenly light, Banish doubt and cleanse our sight; In Thy service, Lord, to-day, Help us labor, help us pray. 3 Keep our haughty passions bound; Save us from our foes around: Going out and coming in, Keep us safe from every sin. 4 When our work of life is past, O receive us then at last! Night of sin will be no more, When I reach the heavenly shore. Topics: Morning Languages: English

O holy, blessed Trinity

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #292 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O HOLY, blessed Trinity, Divine, essential Unity, God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Be Thou this day my Guide and Host. 2 My soul and body keep from harm, O’er all I have extend Thine arm, That Satan may not cause distress, Nor bring me shame and wretchedness. 3 The Father’s love shield me this day, The Son’s pure wisdom cheer my way, The Holy Spirit’s light divine Illume my heart’s benighted shrine. 4 My Maker, strengthen Thou my heart, O my Redeemer, help impart, Blest Comforter, keep at my side, That faith and love in me abide. 5 Lord, bless and keep Thou me as Thine! Lord, make Thy face upon me shine! Lord, lift Thy countenance on me, And give me peace--sweet peace from Thee. Topics: Morning Languages: English

We lift our hearts to Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #293 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WE lift our hearts to Thee, O Day-Star from on high! The Sun itself is but Thy shade, Yet cheers both earth and sky. 2 O let Thy rising beams The night of sin disperse; The mists of error and of vice Which shade the universe. 3 How beauteous nature now! How dark and sad before! With joy we view the pleasing change, And nature’s God adore. 4 O may no gloomy crime Pollute the rising day; May Jesus’ blood, like morning dew, Wash all our stains away. 5 May we this life improve, To mourn for errors past; And live this short revolving day As if it were our last.

When, streaming from the eastern skies

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #294 (1893) Lyrics: 1 WHEN, streaming from the eastern skies, The morning light salutes mine eyes, O Sun of righteousness divine, On me with beams of mercy shine; Chase the dark clouds of guilt away, And turn my darkness into day. 2 When to heaven's great and glorious King My morning sacrifice I bring: And grieving o'er my guilt and shame, Ask mercy, Saviour, in Thy name: My conscience sprinkle with Thy blood, And be my advocate with God. 3 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pardoning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest: And as each morning's sun shall rise, O lead me onward to the skies. 4 And at my life's last setting sun, My conflicts o'er, my labors done, Jesus, Thy heavenly radiance shed, To cheer and bless my dying bed; Then from death's gloom my spirit raise, To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.

While yet the morn is breaking

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #295 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 WHILE yet the morn is breaking, I thank my God once more, Beneath whose care awaking I find the night is o'er; I thank Him that He calls me To life and health anew; I know, whate'er befalls me, His care will still be true. 2 Guardian of Israel, hear me, Watch o'er me through the day, In all I do be near me: For others too, I pray; To Thee I would commend them, Our Church, our school, our land, Direct them and defend them, When dangers are at hand. 3 O gracious Lord, direct us, Thy doctrine pure defend, From heresies protect us, And for Thy Word contend, That we may praise Thee ever, O God, with one accord, Saying: The Lord our Saviour Be evermore adored! 4 O grant us peace and gladness, Give us our daily bread, Shield us from grief and sadness, On us Thy blessings shed; Grant that our whole behaviour In truth and righteousness May praise Thee, Lord our Saviour, Whose holy name we bless. 5 And gently grant Thy blessing, That we may do Thy will, No more Thy ways transgressing, Our proper task fulfill; With Peter's full affiance Let down our nets again; If Thou art our Reliance, Our toil will not be vain. 6 With craftiness unceasing Strives Satan to restrain What in Thy sight is pleasing, And for Thy Church is gain; Yet vain is his endeavor, For Thou, O Christ our Lord, Dost rule all things forever By Thine almighty Word. 7 Thou art the Vine,--O nourish The branches graft in Thee, And let them grow and flourish A fair and fruitful tree; Thy Spirit pour within us, And let His gifts of grace To all good actions win us, That best may show Thy praise.

Before Thy throne I now appear

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #296 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 BEFORE Thy throne I now appear, O Lord, bow down Thy gracious ear To me, and cast not from Thy face Thy sinful child that begs for grace. 2 Thou, Father of eternity, Thine image hast impressed on me; In Thee I am, and live, and move, Nor can exist without Thy love. 3 Oft hast Thou snatched me from distress, And raised me oft when comfortless, When but a step, nay, one hair's breadth, Was 'twixt my tottering life and death. 4 My sense and reason come from Thee, And sustenance Thou givest me; A faithful friend Thou dost bestow, To prove his love in weal and woe. 5 Thou hast redeemed me, Son of God, Hast shed for me Thy precious blood, The Law for my sake hast fulfilled, And thus Thy Father's wrath hast stilled. 6 When sin and Satan witness bear Against me, that I must despair, As Mediator Thou stepst in, And sav'st me from the curse of sin. 7 Thou art my Advocate for aye, My Saviour, Comfort, and my Stay! Thine all-sufficient merit is On earth, my peace; in heaven, my bliss. 8 God, Holy Spirit, Power divine! Thou workest in this heart of mine; Naught can be counted good in me, But what proceeds alone from Thee. 9 Through Thee, I now my God adore, And call Him Father evermore; Through Thee, His Word and Sacrament I love and hold, tell life is spent. 10 Through Thee, I'm in temptation free From fear and sad despondency; Through Thee, I'm quickened oft to taste The sweets of Thine eternal rest. 11 I, therefore, now give thanks to Thee With heart and tongue most joyfully For all Thy mercies, Lord, my God, Which on my soul Thou hast bestowed. 12 Beseeching Thine almighty grace To aid me, till I've run my race; Soul, body, honor, house, and friend, To Thy protection I commend. 13 Give me a heart that is sincere, To love Thy truth, and persevere In real Christian piety, And shun all foul hypocrisy. 14 My sins and trespasses forgive; Have patience with me, while I live; O give me faith and charity, And let my hope rest but in Thee. 15 Grant that in peace I close mine eyes, But, on the last day, bid me rise, And let me see Thy face fore'er-- Amen, Amen, Lord, hear my prayer!

Christ, everlasting Source of light

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #297 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, everlasting Source of light, All things are open to Thy sight; Thou Splendor of Thy Father's face, Show us the path of truth and grace. 2 We now implore Thy sovereign might To keep us, Lord, the coming night; Preserve us, Lord, from all distress; O God, Thy mercy we address. 3 Remove our sinful drowsiness; Let Satan not our soul oppress; Our feeble flesh keep chaste and pure, And let us rest in Thee secure. 4 And when our eyes are bound in sleep, The lamp of faith still burning keep; Thy hand sustain us, while we rest; Remove our sin, and we are blest. 5 Great Guardian of thy Christian flock, Thy presence be our saving rock; Thine agony and holy blood Be always our support, O God! 6 Remember, Lord, the woes and pains Which here our body hold in chains; Our soul, which Thou hast ransomed, Lord, O comfort with Thy holy Word. 7 To God the Father, and the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One, Be glory, praise, and majesty Now, ever, and eternally.

Let no ill dream disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. 5 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!

Now God be with us, for the night is closing

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #300 (1893) Meter: 11.5 Lyrics: 1 NOW God be with us, for the night is closing; The light and darkness are of His disposing, And ’neath His shadow here to rest we yield us, For He will shield us. 2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o’er us; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us, 3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep o’ertakes us, Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us; All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing Thy praise pursuing. 4 Through Thy Beloved soothe the sick and weeping, And bid the captive lose his griefs in sleeping; Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them, Do Thou befriend them. 5 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only. 6 Father, Thy name be praised, Thy kingdom given, Thy will be done on earth as ’tis in heaven, Give daily bread, forgive our sins, deliver Us now and ever.
