My God,Now I From Sleep Awake

Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: My God, I now from sleep awake Lyrics: 1 My God, I now from sleep awake, The sole possession of me take; From midnight terrors me secure, And guard my heart from thoughts impure. 2 Blest angels, while we silent lie, Your hallelujahs sing on high; You joyful hymn the ever-blest, Before the throne, and never rest. 3 I with your choir celestial join, In offering up a hymn divine; With you in Heav’n I hope to dwell, And bid the night and world farewell. 4 My soul, when I shake off this dust, Lord, in Thy arms I will entrust; O make me Thy peculiar care, Some mansion for my soul prepare. 5 Give me a place at Thy saints’ feet, Or some fall’n angel’s vacant seat; I’ll strive to sing as loud as they, Who sit above in brighter day. 6 O may I always ready stand, With my lamp burning in my hand; May I in sight of Heav’n rejoice, Whene’er I hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 7 All praise to Thee, in light arrayed, Who light Thy dwelling place hast made: A boundless ocean of bright beams From Thy all glorious Godhead streams. 8 Blest Jesus, Thou on Heav’n intent, Whole nights hast in devotion spent; But I, frail creature, soon am tired, And all my zeal is soon expired. 9 Shine on me, Lord, new life impart, Fresh ardors kindle in my heart; One ray of Thy all quickening light Dispels the sloth and clouds of night. 10 Lord, lest the tempter me surprise, Watch over Thine own sacrifice; All loose, all idle thoughts cast out, And make my very dreams devout. 11 Praise God, from all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His Name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His Love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Where He displays His healing power, Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost. 6 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.
