Softly now the light of day

Hymnal: BW1867 #189 (1867) Scripture: Psalm 141 Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee: 2 Thou, whose all pervading eye Naught escapes without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall for ever pass away; then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee: 4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

I'll praise my Maker while I've breath

Hymnal: BW1867 #41 (1867) Scripture: Psalm 146 Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures. 2 How happy man whose hopes rely On Israel's God; He made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train; His truth forever stands secure; He saves th' oppressed, He feeds the poor, And none shall find His promise vain. 3 The Lord gives sight unto the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the laboring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widowed and the fatherless, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I'll praise Him while He lends me breath, And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures.

Let every creature join

Hymnal: BW1867 #46 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 148 Lyrics: 1 Let every creature join To praise the eternal God; Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin, And sound His name abroad. 2 Thou sun with golden beams, And moon with paler rays, Ye starry light, ye twinkling flames, Shine to your Maker's praise. 3 He built those worlds above, And fixed their wondrous frame; By His command they stand or move, And ever speak His name. 4 Ye vapors, when ye rise, Or fall in showers of snow; Ye thunders, murmuring round the skies, His power and glory show. 5 Wind, hail, and flaming fire, Agree to praise the Lord, When ye in dreadful storms conspire To execute His word. 6 By all His works above His honors be expressed; But saints that taste his saving love, Should sing His praises best.

Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem rise

Hymnal: BW1867 #392 (1867) Scripture: Isaiah 60 Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise; Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes! See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn, See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend: See Thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyous tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed His word, His saving power remains; Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

Who is this that comes from Edom

Hymnal: BW1867 #87 (1867) Scripture: Isaiah 63 Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All His raiment stained with blood, To the captive speaking freedom, Bringing and bestowing good; Glorious in the garb He wears, Glorious in the spoil He bears? 2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Travelling onward in His might; 'Tis the Saviour, oh how glorious, To His people is the sight! Satan conquered, and the grave; Jesus now is strong to save, 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain: Fallen they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor! reign for ever; Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done: Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes.

Sinner, rouse thee from thy sleep

Hymnal: BW1867 #282 (1867) Scripture: Ephesians 5 Lyrics: 1 Sinner, rouse thee from thy sleep, Wake, and o'er thy folly weep; Raise thy spirit, dark and dead; Jesus waits His light to shed. 2 Wake from sleep, arise from death, See the bright and living path: Watchful tread that path, be wise; Leave thy folly, seek the skies. 3 Leave thy folly, cease from crime, From this hour redeem thy time; Life secure without delay, Evil is the mortal day. 4 Be not blind and foolish still; Called of Jesus, learn His will: Jesus calls from death and night, Jesus waits to shed His light.

Not to the terrors of the Lord

Hymnal: BW1867 #125 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 12 Lyrics: 1 Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke: Not to the thunder of that Word Which God on Sinai spoke; 2 But we are come to Sion’s hill, The city of our God, Where milder words declare His will, And spread His love abroad. 3 Behold th’innumerable host Of angels clothed in light: Behold the spirits of the just Whose faith is changed to sight. 4 Behold the blest assembly there Whose names are writ in heaven; And God, the Judge of all, declare Their sins, through Christ, forgiven. 5 Angels, and living saints, and dead But one communion make: All join in Christ their vital Head, And of His love partake.
