At early dawn, with pious thought
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
At early dawn, with pious thought,
The holy women spices brought,--
For Christ their Lord, was dead;--
45
But lo! the stone was rolled away:
"Where are the seals?" they wondering say,
"The guard, where He was laid?"
"Why with your ointments mix your tears?
Why all this sighing, and these fears?"
An angel near declares:
There lies the stone that barred the tomb:
No longer now its solemn gloom
Your Lord and Master shares.
"Haste, haste, with joy the tidings tell,
The Lord hath vanquished death and hell,
For He, the death of death,
Hath burst asunder hades' prison,
And, first-born from the dead hath risen,
Even as afore He saith."
Honour to Thee, O Christ, we bring;
Thy glorious rising now we sing,
Victorious is Thy strife;
Our Hope, our Trust,--on Thee we call,--
Our Joy, our Strength, our God, our All,
And our Immortal Life.
At early dawn, with pious thought
Sticheron from the ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ ΤΗΣ ΤΥΡΙΝΗΣ
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Ah! woe is me because of sin Lyrics:
Ah! woe is me because of sin,
I tremble as I look within
And view my guilty state;
But like Thy servant in Thy word,
I cry, "Have mercy on me, Lord,"
Because Thy mercy's great.

Sticheron from the ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ ΤΗΣ ΤΥΡΙΝΗΣ
O God of Light and Life and Joy
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
O God of Light and Life and Joy,
Blest Trinity! my soul employ
While I have power to sing:
No song too glad to raise to Thee,
Eternal, glorious Trinity,--
No gift too rich to bring.
When darkness brooded o'er the earth,
At thy command light had its birth,
And night and darkness fled;
And still, where hearts are bound in night,
Thou speak'st the word, "Let there be light,"
And noontide beams are shed.
Death held the Christ of God enchained,
The grave the Lord of Life restrained,
And eyes were filled with tears;--
Awoke the morn in eastern skies!
Behold, the Lord of Life arise!
Farewell to mortal fears!
O joyless still the spirit sighs,
And fearful looks to ebon skies,
And stars begin to shine;--
Lo! overhead the bright array,
The night is shining as the day,
When hopes and fears entwine.
O God of Light and Life and Joy,
Blest Trinity, my soul employ
While I have power to sing:
No song too glad to raise to Thee,
Eternal, glorious Trinity,
No gift too rich to bring.
O God of Light and Life and Joy
The Morning dawns; on gilded height
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
The Morning dawns; on gilded height
The glory of the early light
Awaits the rising sun
Awake, my soul, to life awake!
Inspired with hope thy task o'ertake,
And fill the day begun.
O Light, beyond our utmost light,
To Whom our day is as the night,
Our sun a feeble star;
Lead me to where Thy glories rise,
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies,
On fairer fields afar.
Thou art the Light, eternal Christ,
Whose glory at the first sufficed
To fire the endless spheres;
Night has no more abiding place,
Before the brightness of Thy face
The darkness disappears.
O that a searching ray would shine
Within this darkened soul of mine,
And bid my night depart!
Then would the joy of life abound,
And morning music ever sound
Within my joyless heart.
The Morning dawns; on gilded height
Come on, companions of our way
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Come on, companions of our way,
Who travel to eternal day
Through this poor world of night;
Give to the Lord, in noble songs,
The praise that to His name belongs,
As children of the light.
Call'd out of darkness, by His voice,
Be that clear shining path our choice,
Which Christ our captain trod!
Whether with flowers and fragrance crown'd,
Or thorns and thistle interwound,
It leads the soul to God.
Though pilgrims in a vale of woes,
Thick-strown with snares, and throng'd with foes;
Since Jesus journey'd through,
157
Plant but your steps where his have prest
The ground once curst,--that ground now blest
Is heaven's highway for you.
To heaven, to heaven then march we on,
Go where our conquering Lord hath gone!
Thus where He is, shall we
In joy behold Him face to face,
And, changed by glorifying grace,
Resemble Him we see.

Come on, companions of our way
O Jesus, Lover of our race
Author: John Brownlie; St. Cosmas, died 760 A. D. Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
O Jesus, Lover of our race,
How rich the promise of Thy grace
To Thy disciples made,—
A holy Paraclete to send,
To succour, comfort, and befriend
With His inspiring aid.
On earth the light is shining clear,
The Holy Comforter is here,
To all the faithful given;
And now, what prophets long foretold,
In all His fulness we behold
The Spirit sent from heaven.
O Jesus, Lover of our race
O God of life, in whom we live
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
O God of life, in whom we live,
The bounties of Thy favour give,
And teach our souls to soar;
That, at the source of every good,
Our life may find its needful food,
And live for evermore.
II
O Lord of mercy, by whose grace
The sinner seeks the Father’s face,
And finds a welcome there;
When fears the trembling soul distress,
And sins the aching heart oppress,
O Lord of mercy, spare.
III
And say to Him who loves Thee best,
And sent Thee to a world distressed,
His blessing to impart,—
“Hear Thou the sinner’s mournful cries,
Accept his preferred sacrifice,
A broken, contrite heart.”
IV
Blest Spirit, who in holy flame,
At Pentecost all powerful came,—
Our sin-stained souls renew;
And by Thine all-consuming fire,
Consume our sin and vile desire,
And make us pure and true.
V
To God who dwells in highest heaven,
Be endless praise and glory given,—
And praise to Christ the Son.
And to the Holy Spirit blest,
For comfort and for gifts the best,—
Immortal Three in One.

O God of life, in whom we live
Almighty God, I Humbly Ask
Author: J. H. Kuhlmann Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, I humbly ask
That I may know my daily task,
To do Thy holy will.
Be Thou, throughout the journey's length,
O Lord, my never-failing strength,
In days of good or ill.
2 Help me, that I may never shirk,
But always look upon my work
As coming, Lord, from Thee;
And may, in doing well my part,
This holy thought inspire my heart:
Thou, Father, sendest me!
3 Then equal to the noblest strife
Shall be the lot of lowly life,
Which ne'er from duty swerves;
And he, who self has sacrificed,
Is walking in the steps of Christ,
Whose love forever serves. Topics: The Christian Life Service Used With Tune: CHORLEY

Concédeme, Jesús, la sed
O Light, resplendent of the morn
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
O Light, resplendent of the morn
On golden pinions upwards borne,
That usherest in the day;
We rise responsive to the call,
As night removes her dusky pall,
And speeds her flight away.
II
O Light, that, from the Father’s face,
Shone on our world with winning grace,
When darker night prevailed;
We rise to greet Thine Advent bright,
All hail! majestic in Thy might,
When darkness is assailed.
III
O let my soul Thy rising see;
From every cloud my vision free,
And on my pathway shine;
Then shall my course, in safety trod,
Lead ever nearer to my God,
The source of light divine.
IV
O Jesus, Morn of better day,
Thou Light of lights, Whose gladsome ray
Gives light, and life, and cheer;
Light to my soul, and life impart,
And fill with joy my inmost heart,
And scatter night and fear.
O Light, resplendent of the morn
