Father of all, to thee

Author: Rev. John Julian Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father of all, to Thee, With loving hearts we pray, Through Him, in mercy given, The Life, the Truth, the Way; From heaven, Thy throne, in mercy shed Thy blessings on each bended head. 2 Father of all, to Thee, Our contrite hearts we raise, Unstrung by sin and pain, Long voiceless in Thy praise; Breathe Thou the silent chords along, Until they tremble into song. 3 Father of all, to Thee, we breathe unuttered fears, Deep-hidden in our souls, That have no voice but tears; Take Thou our hand, and through the wild Lead gently on, each trembling child. 4 Father of all, may we In praise our tongues employ, When gladness fills the soul With deep and hallowed joy; In storm and calm give us to see The path of peace, which leads to Thee. Amen.

All praise to him who dwells in bliss

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All praise to Him who dwells in bliss, Who made both day and night; Whose throne is darkness, in th'abyss, Of uncreated light. 2. Each thought and deed His piercing eyes With strictest search survey; The deepest shades no more disguise Than the full blaze of day. 3. Whom Thou dost guard, O King of kings, No evil shall molest: Under the shadow of Thy wings, Shall they securely rest. 4. Thy angels shall around their beds Their constant stations keep: Thy faith and truth shall shield their heads, For Thou dost never sleep. 5. May we, with calm and sweet repose And heavenly thoughts refreshed, Our eyelids with the morn's unclose, And bless the Ever-bless'd. Amen.

All praise to Thee, eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; Choosing a manger for Thy throne, While worlds on worlds are Thine alone. 2 Once did the skies before Thee bow; A Virgin's arms contain Thee now; Angels who did in Thee rejoice Now listen for Thine infant voice. 3 A little Child, Thou art our Guest, That weary ones in Thee may rest; Forlorn and lonely is Thy birth, That we may rise to heaven from earth. 4 Thou comest in the darksome night To make us children of the light, To make us, in the realms Divine, Like Thine own angels round Thee shine. 5 All this for us Thy love hath done; By this to Thee our love is won; For this we tune our cheerful lays, And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

All praise to Thee, my God, this night

All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thy 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; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day. 4. O may my soul on thee repose, And with 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. O when shall I, in endless day, For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns with the supernal choir, Incessant sing, and never tire! Amen.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory From the brightness of Thy face; That we, Lord, with hearts in heaven, Here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel-hands be gathered, And be ever safe with Thee. 4 Alleluia!
