Page 10 - New mercies each returning day Hover around us while we pray ; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If, on our daily course, our mind < Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice.
Page 9 - SOMETIMES a light surprises The Christian while he sings ; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings : When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain.
Page 9 - A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.
