To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come, And falling down adore Thee, And humbly make confession full Of all our sins before Thee. For Thou Thyself art very God, And freely cam'st to save us; And in our flesh the fetters broke With which our sins enslave us. Therefore we own with grateful hearts The joy the Saviour brought us, Who came to earth, and in our sins With love and pity sought us.

My soul doth wait on God

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: My soul doth wait on God, From Him my help proceeds; His mercy is exceeding broad, To overtake my needs. He gives His pardoning grace, When I my sin confess; Nor ever hides from me His face In my distressfulness. The Spirit of all power, Most freely He bestows; And I am strong in evil hour, When pressed by direst foes. 173 Oh, He has gifts in store, More rich than wealth commands; And when His pity I implore, He fills my empty hands. God, Thou art good and kind, And full of tender grace; Have me for ever in Thy mind, Nor hide from me Thy face.

There is no friend like Jesus

Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: There is no friend like Jesus, So constant and so kind; He heals the wounded spirit, And calms the troubled mind. The hungry soul He feedeth With manna from His store; And of His living water We drink to thirst no more. When weary is our journey, And heavy is our load, This constant Friend is with us, To cheer our toilsome road. 179 When bright our path and joyous, And sunshine floods the way, Our joy He renders tenfold More joyous every day. There is no friend like Jesus, So constant is His love; The earth has seen His kindness, 'Twill be enjoyed above. Through death's dark vale He'll lead us-- That vale He passed before; With life immortal clothe us, To be unclothed no more. And in that land the fairest, With joys that never end, Our Lord shall stand supremely, Our true and constant Friend.

O, come in early morning

Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: O, come in early morning, The Saviour's heart is kind; And they who seek Him early, Are ever sure to find; They cannot miss the pathway, When all around is bright; They lose the path and stumble, Who tarry till the night. Oh, come in early morning, The dew is on the flower, There's laughter in the woodland, And music in the bower; The world is full of gladness, And sings the Maker's praise, There's not a note of sadness, To mar the matin lays. Oh, come in early morning, The sun is climbing high; And all the world is smiling, Beneath a cloudless sky; 192 There's not a piping blackbird, But sings with lusty glee; There's not a little lambkin, But frolics on the lea. Oh, come in early morning, It cannot aye be bright, The night shall fold its curtains, And hide the joyous light; And gloom, and grief, and sadness, Shall be in every song; Oh, come in early morning, And serve Him all day long. Oh, come in early morning, Oh, come with laughing eye, Oh, come with pulses bounding, And hope that's soaring high; The joy of morn shall linger Throughout a joyous day, And in the night the gladness No gloom shall chase away.

Thine be the glory, God of Light

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Thine be the glory, God of Light, For all the joy from morn that springs; Oh, may a morn dispel each night, And bless our lives with beauteous things. Give us this day the light that dwells In every heart Thy presence fills; That night with all its fears dispels, And life, and hope, and joy instils. Then shall our nights no darkness bring, But morn, bright morn, for ever shine; And when night spreads her dusky wings, More bright shall be the light Divine. All praise to Thee, the God of Light; All praise to Christ, the glorious Son; And to the Spirit, Lord of might, Now, and while endless ages run.

See where the orb of day

Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: See where the orb of day In glory sinks to rest, The clouds of gold and purple crown The mountains of the west; And eve in silence brings The night on dusky wings. It is the hour of peace, And hearts to heaven ascend: Come with your burdens and your care, To an unchanging Friend; And let the passing day Bear all your fears away. It is the hour of prayer; Let every fault be known; Unveil the secrets of the soul, And every sin disown; The blood for sinners spilt, Shall bear away your guilt. 27 It is the hour of praise; Let joy the stillness break; And every grateful thought of God To living song awake; And saints in heaven shall bear To God your fervent prayer. The night in silence falls: O God, to Thee be praise! And to the Spirit and the Son, Throughout the endless days; Eternal Three in One, While endless ages run.

There is no darkness where Thou art

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: There is no darkness where Thou art, O Jesus Christ, Thou Light serene; Clouds fold their curtains and depart, And darkness melts where Thou art seen. Fair Morning Star! more glorious Sun! Thou Light of lights, Thy beams display, Till darkness owns the victory won, And night is lost in endless day. Where slumbering souls in bondage lie, Because the night hath hemmed them in, Descend, as morning from the sky, And wake them from their sleep of sin. 29 Where sorrow dims the downcast eye, And luring hope is lost to view, With light the tear-drops beautify, As sunlight on the morning dew. O Jesus Christ, Thy light is life; Shine on our souls and life revive, That they may stand before the strife, And conquer as the strong who strive. O Jesus Christ, Thy light is joy; Restore our souls from sorrow's blight, And win them to the glad employ Of those who praise both day and night.

In the early morning

Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: In the early morning, Ere the darkness clears, Lo, a star most radiant, High in heaven appears; And their eyes behold it, Glowing like a gem, As the sages journey Forth to Bethlehem. In the early morning, While the shepherds gaze, Lo, through clouds asunder, Heaven is all ablaze; Brighter than the sunrise From the eastern hills, And the song of angels All creation fills. 46 In the early morning, When the silence hung, 'Mid the dazzling splendour, Were the praises sung: Glory in the highest To the God of heaven, Peace on earth abounding Unto men be given. Now the sages, guided To the lowly place, Lying in a manger Find the Lord of grace; And they fall before Him As before a king, And their costly offerings With devotion bring. Lord of life eternal, Who didst come for men; At the time appointed Thou wilt come again; 47 Not a babe in meekness, Born of humble birth; But the King Immortal, Judge of all the earth. Glory in the highest, Be ascribed to God; Ceaseless hallelujahs Fill the earth abroad; Glory to Immanuel, All creation sing, Who to heaven hath raised us By His offering.

Hail the morn with heavenly singing, And the song, they prolong, News untold to earth is bringing, Of Immanuel born. Fearful watchers, see the glory, Cease to gaze with amaze; Herdsmen, sages, list the story, Peace abides on earth. 49 Glory! sons of men repeat it, Heavenly morn, Christ is born, Lift your eyes to heaven and greet it, Greet Immanuel's birth. Gone the dismal years of waiting, Angels bright, shed your light! Peace hath banished ill and hating, On this glorious morn. Glory be to God ascending, And the Son, who hath won Life for man in bliss unending, Now the Christ is born.

Herdsmen keeping lonely vigil

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Herdsmen keeping lonely vigil While the earth in slumber lay; Eager scanned the far horizon, For the coming of the day; And a blaze of heavenly light, Rent the curtains of the night. Never shone a morn so radiant Since creation had its birth, And the orb of day in fulness Shed its primal light on earth, And the morning stars abroad, Triumphed with the sons of God. Stay your coming, dawn and sunrise, For a Sun of high renown Pours His light upon our darkness, And this Orb shall ne'er go down; Now Immanuel, Christ our Lord, Dwells on earth, Incarnate Word. 51 Lift your eyes, ye lonely watchers, See the host in raiment white; List, the strains of heavenly music Mingling with transcendent light; Ne'er such music waked a morn; Sons of men! the Christ is born. Weary hearts that dwell in darkness! Cast your dismal fears away; Lo, the Sun on earth is shining, For the morn has risen today, And the light that hailed His birth, Pours its glory on the earth.
