The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 291 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113:3 Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, is ended, the darkness falls at your request. To you our morning hymns ascended; your praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank you that your church, unsleeping while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world her watch is keeping, and never rests by day or night. 3 As over continent and island each dawn leads to another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor do the praises die away. 4 So be it, Lord: your throne shall never, like earth's proud kingdoms, pass away. Your kingdom stands and grows forever, until there dawns your glorious day. Topics: Close of Worship; Church; Close of Worship; Evening; Kingdom; Prayer; Providence Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

Psalm 113

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113 First Line: Ye servants of th' Almighty King Lyrics: Ye servants of th' Almighty King, In every age his praises sing; Where'er the sun shall rise or set, The nations shall his praise repeat. Above the earth, beyond the sky, Stands his high throne of majesty; Nor time nor place his power restrain, Nor bound his universal reign. Which of the sons of Adam dare, Or angels, with their God compare? His glories how divinely bright, Who dwells in uncreated light! Behold his love! he stoops to view What saints above and angels do; And condescends yet more to know The mean affairs of men below. From dust and cottages obscure, His grace exalts the humble poor; Gives them the honor of his sons, And fits them for their heav'nly thrones. [A word of his creating voice Can make the barren house rejoice; Though Sarah's ninety years were past, The promised seed is born at last. With joy the mother views her son, And tells the wonders God has done: Faith may grow strong when sense despairs, If nature fails, the promise bears.] Topics: God his sovereignty and goodness to man; God and condescension

Not time, nor nature's narrow rounds, Can give his vast dominion bounds, The heav'ns are far below his height: Let no created greatness dare With our eternal God compare, Armed with his uncreated might. He bows his glorious head to view What the bright hosts of angels do, And bends his care to mortal things; His sovereign hand exalts the poor, He takes the needy from the door, And makes them company for kings. When childless families despair, He sends the blessing of an heir, To rescue their expiring name; The mother, with a thankful voice, Proclaims his praises and her joys: Let every age advance his fame.
