Now that the star of day hath risen

Hymnal: ELH1880 #302 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now that the star of day hath risen, O God, we humbly pray That Thou, the Uncreated Light, Thyself wilt guide our way. 2 May neither tongue nor hand offend, Nor mind the vain thought abide, Upon the lips let simple truth, Love in the heart preside. 3 While flows the day anew begun, O Christ, our Watch and Ward, The gates of sense, that hell assails, From ev'ry danger guard. 4 Grant that each daily work of ours May to Thy glory tend, And ev'ry deed begun in Thee, In Thee, with blessing, end.

Now the shades of night are gone

Hymnal: ELH1880 #303 (1880) 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 my soul, O Christ, with light, Banish doubt and cleanse my sight, In Thy service, Lord, to-day Help me labor, help me pray. 3 Keep my haughty passions bound; Save me from my foes around; Going out and coming in, Keep us safe from ev'ry sin. 4 When my work of life is past, O receive me then at last! Night of sin will be no more, When I reach the heav'nly shore. Topics: The Catechism; Daily Devotion Morning Languages: English

Soon as the morn with roses

Hymnal: ELH1880 #304 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Soon as the morn with roses Bedecks the dewy east, And when the sun reposes Upon the ocean's breast; Our voice in supplication, Jehovah, Thou shalt hear; Grant us, through Christ, salvation, And be thou ever near. 2 By Thee through life supported, We pass the dangerous road, By heavenly hosts escorted Up to their bright abode; There cast our crows before Thee, Our toils and conflicts o'er, And day and night adore Thee, For ever evermore.

When the sun, all golden

Hymnal: ELH1880 #305 (1880) Lyrics: 1 When the sun, all golden, Laughs at dawn of day, All Thy little children Thank Thee, God, and pray. 2 I will also praise Thee, Jesus, Shepherd mine, Thou wilt also feed me-- Little lamb of Thine. 3 Heartily I pray Thee: Stay Thou, Lord, with me: Guide all day my footsteps, That I follow Thee. 4 When Thou swellest with me I cannot be bad, With my guardian angels I can then be glad. 5 When the happy sunshine Sleeps at close of day, Then Thy little children Thank again and pray. 6 And Thou bidets with them, Jesus, Savior mine; Waking, Lord, or sleeping, Let each child be Thine.

Another day has passed away

Hymnal: ELH1880 #306 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Another day has passed away, A day of praise and prayer; Then come, my soul, thy God extol, And own Thy Savior's care. 2 Secure from harm, His mighty arm Has led me through the day, And from above, with gifts of love, He cheered me on my way. 3 Now, as of old, He leads His fold On meads of shady free; While on His breast, in sweetest rest, The ewe and lambkin lean. 4 Care not, says He, but trust in me, And I will care for you; My faithfulness and kindnesses And every morning new. 5 O bliss divine, that Christ is mine, Who thus attends His own! Then come, my soul, Thy God extol, And make His praises known. Topics: The Catechism; Daily Devotion Sunday Evening Languages: English

When, O dear Jesus, when shall I

Hymnal: ELH1880 #307 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I Behold Thee all serene? Blest in perpetual holy day, Without a veil between! 2 Assist me, while I wander here, Amidst a world of cares; Incline my heart to pray in love, And then accept my prayers. 3 Release my soul from every chain, No more hell's captive led; And pardon Thy repenting child, For whom the Savior bled. 4 Spare me, O God, O spare the soul, That gives it self to Thee: Take all that I possess below, And give Thyself to me. 5 Thy Spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my way to ceaseless joys, To rest without an end.

How oft the day of God returns

Hymnal: ELH1880 #308 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How oft the day of God returns To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames. 2 Accept our faint attempts to love; Our sins, O Lord, forgive; We would be like Thy saints above, And praise Thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, Thy worship ne'er shall end; 4 When we shall with the ransomed throng, The Savior's praise proclaim, And give in an eternal song All glory to His name.

Now all the woods are sleeping

Hymnal: ELH1880 #310 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Now all the woods are sleeping, And night and stillness creeping O’er city, man, and beast; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer awhile betake thee, And praise Thy Maker ere thou rest. 2 O sun! where art thou vanished? The night thy light hath banished-- The ancient foe, the night; God then for now appeareth Another Sun, and cheereth My heart--'tis Jesus Christ, my Light! 3 The last faint beam is going, The golden stars are glowing In yonder dark-blue deep; Such is the glory given, When called of God to heaven, On earth no more we pine and weep. 4 To rest the body hasteth, Itself of clothes divesteth, Type of mortality! I'll put it off, and o'er me Christ throw the robe of glory, And blissful immortality! 5 Head, hands, and feet so tired Are glad the day's expired, That work comes to an end; My heart, be filled with gladness That God from all earth's sadness, And from sin's toil relief will send. 6 Ye aching limbs! now rest you, For toil hath sore oppressed you, Lie down, my weary head; A sleep shall once o'ertake you From which earth ne'er shall wake you, Within a cold and narrow bed. 7 Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment, I'll be sleeping, Soul, body,--fare ye well! In grace Thy care then make them May evil ne'er o'ertake them, thou Eye and Ward of Israel. 8 O Jesus, be my Cover! And both Thy wings spread over Thy child, and shield Thou me! Though Satan would devour me, Let angels ever o'er me Sing, "This child shall uninjured be!" 9 My loved ones, rest securely,-- From every evil surely Our God will guard your heads; And happy slumbers send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And golden-armed watch o'er your beds.

Since now the day hath reached its close

Hymnal: ELH1880 #311 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Since now the day hath reached its close, And sunlight shines no more, In sleep the toil-worn find repose, And all who wept before. 2 But Thou, my Lord, no rest dost know, No slumber dims Thy sight, Thou hatest darkness as Thy foe, Since Thou Thyself art light. 3 O Lord, I pray, remember me Throughout the shades of night, And grant to me most graciously The shield of Thy great might. 4 And foil Thou Satan's purpose fell Through Thy swift angel-arm, Then free from care, I'll rest me well And safe from every harm. 5 I feel indeed through guilt undone, It cried aloud to Thee: But yet, the mercy from Thy Son Hath full atoned for me. 6 Him I present Thee as my Bail, While suppliant at Thy feet, With such assurance I'll not fail Before Thy judgement-seat. 7 Away, vain, idle thoughts depart! Roam not my soul abroad; For now I build within my heart A temple to my God. 8 And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart-glad; My God doth watch o'er my repose, Why should my heart be sad? 9 And thus I live and die to Thee, Thou Sabaoth strong, indeed! In life and death Thou helpest me From every fear and need. 10 Should this night prove the last for me In this dark vale of tears, Then lead me, Lord, in heaven to Thee And my elect compeers.
