1. As the sun doth dai - ly rise, Brightening all the morning skies, 2. Day by day pro-vide us food, For from Thee come all things good; 3. Be our Guard in sin and strife, Be the Lead-er of our life;

So, to Thee, with one ac-cord Lift we up our hearts, O Lord !
Strength un-to our souls af-ford From Thy living Bread, O Lord !

Lest like sheep we stray a-broad, Stay our wayward feet, O Lord! A-men.

4 Quickened by the Spirit's grace,

All Thy holy will to trace,
While we daily search Thy Word,

Wisdom true impart, O Lord !
5 When the sun withdraws his light,

When we seek our beds at night,
Thou, by sleepless hosts adored,
Hear the prayer of faith, (Lord.

6 When the hours are dark and drear,

When the Tempter lurketh near,
By Thy strengthening grace outpoured,

Save the tempted ones, O Lord.
7 Praise we with the heavenly host,

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Thee, would we with one accord,
Praise and magnify, O Lord.

SONGS OF PRAISE THE ANGELS SANG.

7s. JAMES MONTGOMERY, (1771-1854) 1819. 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, 4 And shall man alone be dumb Heaven with alleluias rang,

Till that glorious kingdom come? When Jehovah's work begun,

No; the Church delights to raise When He spake and it was done. Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn 5 Saints below, with heart and voice,

When the Prince of Peace was born, Still in songs of praise rejoice,
Songs of praise arose when He

Learning here, by faith and love,
Captive led captivity.

Songs of praise to sing above.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away, 6 Borne upon their latest breath,

Songs of praise shall crown that day, Songs of praise shall conquer death.
God will make new heavens and earth, Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise shall hail their birth. Songs of praise their powers employ.

1. Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near; 2. When the soft dews of kind-ly sleep My wearied eye - lids gen- tly steep, 3. A-bide with me from morn till eve, For with-out Thee I can- not live;

O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
Be my last thought: how sweet to rest, For ev - er on my Sa-vior's breast.
Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. A-men.

4 If some poor wandering child of Thine

Have spurned to-day the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;

Let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor

With blessings from Thy boundless store,
Be every mourner's sleep to-night

Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
6 Come near and bless us when we wake,

Ere through the world our way we take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.

SOFTLY NOW THE LIGHT OF DAY.

7s. BP. GEORGE WASHINGTON DOANE, (1799–1859) 1824. 1 Softly now the light of day

3 Soon for us the light of day Fades upon our sight away;

Shall forever pass away; Free from care, from labor free,

Then, from sin and sorrow free, Lord, we would commune with Thee. Take us, Lord, to dwell with Thee. 2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye

4 Thou, who sinless, yet hast known Naught escapes, without, within,

All of man's infirmity, Pardon each infirmity,

Then from Thine eternal throne, Open fault and secret sin.

Jesus, look with pitying eye.
