How Lovely Shines the Morning Star

Author: Frances E. Cox; Burkhard Wiesenmeyer Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: How lovely shines the morning star! Lyrics: 1 How lovely shines the morning star! In twilight sky bright gleams afar; The reign of night is ended. Creation stirs to hail the light Whose glories now with radiance bright Stream forth in beauty splendid. Both far And near All things living Thanks are giving, Praise outpouring, Earth and sky the Lord adoring. 2 Then haste, my soul, thy song to raise, Delay thou not thy Lord to praise, Bow down in adoration. For glory, Lord, to Thee belongs, Thy praise resounds in grateful songs Thou Lord of all creation. Let all Recall Hymns of gladness Without sadness For Thy favor And Thy mercy never waver. 3 Tho' evil spirits thro' the night With hellish craft and watchful spite Came round me without number, Yet Thou, O Jesus, with Thy pow'r Wast near me in that threat'ning hour, Didst guard me in my slumber. Praise be To Thee, My Contender And defender, I'll adore Thee While on earth I walk before Thee. 4 Pour down Thy grace in cheering streams, And warm my heart with mercy's beams From heav'n, Thy throne of beauty; Thy Spirit ever lead and guide That in my calling I abide And find my joy in duty. Send light And might That each measure, Plan and pleasure, Heav'nward tending, E'er in Thee may find its ending. 5 Keep grief, if this may be, away; If not, Thy will be done, I pray, My choice to thine resigning. Then, O my heart, cast care aside, God through the cross His own hath tried; Bear loss without repining. Hope still Through ill; To God cleaving, Grace receiving, We shall wonder At God's goodness here and yonder. Amen.

O Holy Ghost, descend, we pray

Author: Michael Schirmer Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost descend, we pray, Abide with us from day to day, Thy temple deign to make us! Let Thy bright beams, thou heav'nly Light, Dispel the darkness of our night, To joy and gladness wake us; That we To Thee Truly living, To Thee giving Pray'r unceasing, Still may be in love increasing. 2 Give to Thy Word impressive power That in our hearts, from this good hour, As fire it may be glowing; That we may Thee the Father, Son, And Spirit, on one common throne, Confess, Thy glory showing. O stay And sway Our souls ever, That they never May forsake Thee, But by faith their refuge make Thee. 3 Thou Fountain whence all wisdom flows Which God on pious hearts bestows, Grant us Thy consolation, that in our pure faith's unity, We faithful witnesses may be Of grace that brings salvation. Hear us, Cheer us By Thy teaching, Let our preaching And our labor Praise the Lord and bless our neighbor. 4 Direct us by Thy counsel still, That we may understand Thy will; We err unless Thou guide us. O grant us constancy, that we May ever faithful prove to Thee, Whatever woes betide us. Descend, Defend From all errors And earth's terrors; Be our healing, Jesus' love and peace revealing. 5 Thy grace sustain, pervade our heart, That we may act the valiant part With Thee as our reliance; Be Thou our Captain and our Shield, That we may never quit the field, But bid the foe defiance. Heed us! Speed us! O'er us hover As our Cover; Thy Salvation Be our constant consolation. 6 O mighty Rock, O source of Life, Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning That we be faithful unto death, In Thy pure love and holy faith From Thee true wisdom learning! Thy fire Inspire Quick'ning savor, That with favor Our behavior May confess Christ as our Savior. 7 O gentle Dew, from heav'n now fall With power upon the hearts of all, Thy tenderness instilling; That heart to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling! No ill Shall fill Hearts that love Thee And approve Thee; Where Thou livest, Peace, good will, and joy Thou givest, 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In humble holiness be passed; Our minds fill with Thy leaven, That they may rise o'er things of earth, The hopes and joys that here have birth, And live in joys of heaven. Sustain, Restrain From offences Hearts and senses; Blessed Spirit! Bid us thus true life inherit.
