At thy feet, O Christ, we lay

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #1 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 At thy feet, O Christ, we lay thine own gift of this new day; doubt of what it holds in store makes us crave thine aid the more; lest it prove a time of loss, mark it, Saviour, with thy cross. 2 If it flow on calm and bright, be thyself our chief delight: if it bring unknown distress, good is all that thou canst bless; only, while its hours begin, pray we, keep them clear of sin. 3 We in part our weakness know, and in part discern our foe; well for us, before thine eyes all our danger open lies; turn not from us, while we plead thy compassions and our need. 4 Fain would we thy word embrace, live each moment on thy grace, all our selves to thee consign, fold up all our wills in thine, think and speak and do and be simply that which pleases thee. 5 Hear us, Lord, and that right soon; hear, and grant the choicest boon that thy love can e’er impart, loyal singleness of heart: do shall this and all our days, Christ our God, show forth thy praise.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #2 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun thy daily stage of duty run; shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise to pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Redeem thy mis-spent time that's past, and live this day as if thy last; improve thy talent with due care; for the great day thyself prepare. 3 Let all thy converse be sincere, thy conscience as the noon-day clear; think how all-seeing God thy ways and all thy secret thoughts surveys. 4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, and with the angels bear thy part; who all night long unwearied sing high praise to the eternal King. 5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow, praise him all creatures here below, praise him above, angelic host, praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: CPWI2010 #3 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true and only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise, triumph o'er the shades of night; dayspring from on high, be near; Day-star, 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 they 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.

My Father, for another night

New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #5 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we need to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

Now that the daylight fills the sky

Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #6 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky, we lift our hearts to God on high, that he, in all we do or say, would keep us free from harm today. 2 May he restrain our tongues from strife, and shield from anger’s din our life, and guard with watchful care our eyes from earth’s absorbing vanities. 3 O may our inmost hearts be pure, from thoughts of folly kept secure, and pride of sinful flesh subdued through sparing use of daily food. 4 So we, when this day’s work is o’er, and shades of night return once more, our path of trial safely trod, shall give the glory to our God. 5 All praise to God the Father be, all praise, Eternal Son, to thee, whom with the Spirit we adore for ever and for evermore.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #7 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

And now the wants are told, that brought

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #8 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And now the wants are told, that brought thy children to thy knee; here lingering still, we ask for naught, but simply worship thee. 2 The hope of heaven’s eternal days absorbs not all the heart that gives thee glory, love, and praise, for being what thou art. 3 For thou art God, the One, the Same, o’er all things high and bright; and round us, when we speak thy name, there spreads a heaven of light. 4 O wondrous peace, in thought to dwell on excellence Divine; to know that nought in man can tell how fair thy beauties shine! 5 O thou, above all blessing blest, o’er thanks exalted far, thy very greatness is a rest to weaklings as we are; 6 For when we feel the praise of thee a task beyond our powers, we say, 'a perfect God is he, and he is fully ours.' 7 All glory to the Father be, all glory to the Son, all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee, while endless ages run.

At even, ere the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #10 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we oppressed with various ills draw near; what if thy form we cannot see? we know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved thee well, and some have lost the love they had; 4 and some have found the world is vain, yet from the world they break not free; and some have friends who give them pain, yet have not sought a friend in thee; 5 and none, O Lord, have perfect rest, for none are wholly free from sin; and they who fain would serve thee best are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man; thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; thy kind but searching glance can scan the very wounds that shame would hide; 7 thy touch has still its ancient power; no word from thee can fruitless fall: hear, in this solemn evening hour, and in thy mercy heal us all.
