Maker of earth, to Thee alone
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #32 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Maker of earth, to Thee alone
Eternal rest belongs;
And heavenly choirs around Thy throne
Pour forth their endless songs.
2 But we--ah, holy now no more!
Are doomed to toil and pain;
Yet exiles on an alien shore
May sing their country’s strain.
3 Father, whose promise binds Thee still
To heal the suppliant throng,
Grant us to mourn the deeds of ill
That banish us so long!
4 And while we mourn, in faith to rest
Upon Thy Love and care;
Till Thou restore us, with the blest,
The song of heaven to share!

Maker of earth, to Thee alone
Father, who the light this day
Author: Julia Anne Elliott Hymnal: CBWM1872 #33 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Father, who the light this day
Out of darkness didst create,
Shine upon us now, we pray,
While within Thy courts we wait.
Wean us from the works of night,
Make us children of the light.
2 Saviour, who this day didst break
From the bondage of the tomb,
Bid our slumbering souls awake;
Shine through all their sin and gloom;
Let us, from our bonds set free,
Rise from sin, and live to Thee.
3 Blessed Spirit, Comforter,
Sent this day from Christ on high;
Lord, on us Thy gifts confer,
Cleanse, illumine, sanctify;
All Thine influence shed abroad;
Lead us to the truth of God. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Easter Sunday; Trinity Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: KOMM, O KOMM DU GEIST DES LEBENS

O Lord, this day upon us shine,
And fill our souls with light divine.
2 This day the Saviour left the grave,
And rose, omnipotent to save:
O Jesus, may we raiséd be
From death of sin to life in Thee.
3 This day the Holy Spirit came,
With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear, and grace to pray.

From earthly toils sweet resting-place
thy hallowed hours, best gift of love,
We give again to God above. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Easter Sunday; Trinity Sunday; Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: JAM LUCIS ORTO SIDERE

No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know.

Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to Thee up-springing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven.

Build a paradise within me;

Blessed Love, who diedst to win me:
Fed from Thine exhaustless urn,
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn.

For the day to God is holy;

Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Naught to-day my soul shall move,
Simply resting in Thy love. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Advent, First Sunday; Epiphany, Sixth Sunday; Sexagesima Sunday; Easter Sunday; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Whit-Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: MEINEN JESUM LASZ ICH NICHT
Light of light, enlighten me
Safely through another week
Author: John Newton Hymnal: CBWM1872 #37 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week,
God has brought us on our way:
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts to-day;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week, our praise demand;
Guarded by Thy mighty power,
Fed and guided by Thy hand;
Though ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciled face,
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 Here we come Thy Name to praise;
Let us feel Thy presence near:
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
5 May thy Gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints.
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Easter Sunday; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: FREUEN WIR UNS ALL IN EIN

Another six days' work is done
Author: Joseph Stennett Hymnal: CBWM1872 #38 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Another six day's work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun:
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day thy God has blest.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose Love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Provides an antepast of heaven,
And gives this day the food of seven.
3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none but he that feels it knows.
4 With joy God's wondrous works we view
In various scenes both old and new;
With praise we think on mercies past,
With hope we future pleasures taste.
5 In holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away.
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end! Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Easter Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GREGORY

This is the day the Lord hath made

He calls the hours His own:
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
2 To-day He rose and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell;
To-day the saints His triumph spread,
And all His wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David's holy Son;
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes in God His Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise.

Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CBWM1872 #40 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till Thy mercy's beams I see:
Till Thou inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief:
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Advent, Fourth Sunday; Epiphany, Sixth Sunday; Easter Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: KEINE SCHÖNHEIT HAT DIE WELT

Jesus, Sun of Righteousness
Author: Jane Borthwick; Christian Knorr von Rosenroth Hymnal: CBWM1872 #41 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Sun of Righteousness,
Brightest beam of love divine,
With the early morning rays
Do Thou on our darkness shine,
And dispel with purest light
All our long and gloomy night!
2 Like the sun's reviving ray,
May Thy Love with tender glow,
All our coldness melt away,
Warm and cheer us forth to go,
Gladly serve Thee and obey
All our life's short earthly day!
3 Thou our only Hope and Guide!
Never leave us, nor forsake:
In Thy light may we abide
Till the endless morning break;
Moving to to Zion's hill,
Onward, upward, homeward still!
4 Lead us all our days and years
In Thy straight and narrow way,
Lead us through the vale of tears
To the land of perfect day,
Where Thy people, fully blest,
Near Thy throne for ever rest. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Advent, First Sunday; Epiphany, Sixth Sunday; Second Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: MORGENGLANZ DER EWIGKEIT
