How oft the day of God returns

Author: Simon Brown Hymnal: ELHW1908 #308a (1908) Person Name: Simon Brown Lyrics: 1 How oft the day of God returns To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames. 2 Accept our faint attempts to love; Our sins, O Lord, forgive; We would be like Thy saints above, And praise Thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, Thy worship ne'er shall end; 4 When we shall with the ransomed throng, The Savior's praise proclaim, And give in an eternal song All glory to His Name.

Almighty God, Thy Word is cast

Author: John Cawood Hymnal: ELHW1908 #10 (1908) Person Name: John Cawood Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy word is cast Like seed upon the ground; O let the dew of heav'n descend, And shed its influence round. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove; Make it take root in ev'ry heart, And grow in faith and love! 3 Let not this life's deceitful cares, Nor worldly wealth and joy, Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast The rising plant destroy. 4 Where'er the Word of life is sown, A large increase bestow, That all who hear Thy message, Lord, Its saving power may know.

When, O dear Jesus, when shall I

Author: John Cennick Hymnal: ELHW1908 #307 (1908) Person Name: John Cennick Lyrics: 1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I Behold Thee all serene; Blest in perpetual holy day, Without a veil between! 2 Assist me, while I wander here, Amidst a world of cares; Incline my heart to pray in love, And then accept my prayers. 3 Release my soul from every chain, No more hell's captive led; And pardon Thy repenting child, For whom the Savior bled. 4 Spare me, O God, O spare the soul, That gives it self to Thee: Take all that I possess below, And give Thyself to me. 5 Thy Spirit, O my Father, give, To be my Guide and Friend, To light my way to ceaseless joys, To rest without an end.

The silent moon is risen

Author: Matthias Claudius Hymnal: ELHW1908 #322 (1908) Person Name: Matthias Claudius Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen, The golden star-fires glisten In heaven serene and bright; The forest sleeps in shadow, And slowly off the meadow A mist si curling, silver-white. 2 The veil of night is closing Around a world reposing In calm and holy trust; It seems like one still chamber, Where weary hearts remember No more the sorrows of the dust. 3 Behold the full moon beaming! So round and fair 'tis gleaming, Yet half is hid from sight. So, oft on earth, deceive us Things that now seem so grievous, Because the half is veiled in night 4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping, Half fearing and half hoping, In darkness seek our way; Our airy cobwebs spinning With erring and with sinning, Far from the mark we stray. 5 Thy saving health, O grant us, Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us In vain and fleeting show; But child-like and confiding, Follow Thy gentle guiding, And in Thy paths with gladness go. 6 When death comes to release us With kindly hand, and frees us Ere life's a weary load; Then, when earth's ties we sever, Take us to Thee forever, Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God! 7 The night's cool breath is creeping; Brothers, in God's good keeping Your weary eyelids close. His grace from ill defend us, And peaceful slumber send us, And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes! Topics: The Catechism Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INNSPRUCK

Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word

Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #2 (1908) Person Name: Tobias Clausnitzer Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word We are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred, Now to seek and love and fear Thee; By Thy teachings sweet and holy, Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till Thy Spirit breaks our night With the beams of trust unclouded; Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart! Light of Light from God proceeding. Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit's pleading, Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises!
