When morning gilds the skies

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-79 Meter: 6.6.7.6.6.7 D Appears in 699 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 Lyrics: 1 WHEN morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Alike at work and prayer To Jesus I repair; May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 2 *The sacred minster bell It peals o'er hill and dell, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: O hark to what it sings, As joyously it rings, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 3 *My tongue shall never tire Of chanting in the choir, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: The fairest graces spring In hearts that ever sing, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 4 *When sleep her balm denies, My silent spirit sighs, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: When evil thoughts molest, With this I shield my breast, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 5 *Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 6 The night becomes as day, When from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: The powers of darkness fear, When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 7 In heaven's eternal bliss The loveliest strain is this, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Let air, and sea, and sky From depth to height reply, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 8 Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Be this the eternal song Through all the ages on, May Jesus Christ be praisèd.

When evening shadows fall, This rings my curfew call: May Jesus Christ be praised! When mirth for music longs, This is my song of songs: May Jesus Christ be praised! God's holy house of prayer Has none that can compare With "Jesus Christ be praised!" 2 To him, my highest and best, I sing, when love-possessed: May Jesus Christ be praised! Whate'er my hands begin, This blessing shall break in: May Jesus Christ be praised! No lovelier antiphon In all high heav'n is known Than "Jesus Christ be praised!" There to the eternal Word The eternal psalm is heard: Oh, Jesus Christ be praised! 3 Let all of humankind In this their concord find: May Jesus Christ be praised! Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound: May Jesus Christ be praised! Sing, sun and stars of space, Sing, all who see his face, Sing, "Jesus Christ be praised!" God’s whole creation o'er, Today and evermore Shall Jesus Christ be praised! Topics: Morning; Praise, Adoration Used With Tune: O SEIGNEUR Text Sources: German hymn, 19th cent.; Yattendon Hymnal

Have mercy, Lord, on me

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord on me, for thou my Judge shalt be, My Hopes in thee remaining, Oh! to my humble Pray'r bow down thy gracious Ear. Be thou my Cause sustaining; How long with vain Design, will ye my foes combine, In wrathful Indignation? How long destructive Lies maliciously devise, To blot my Reputation. 3 Consider that the Just, who place in God their Trust, Are still by him protected; The Lord my voice will hear, and grant my humble pray'r, Whene'er to him directed. Oh! stand ye then in Awe of his most sacred Law, Reflect with deep Contrition; Flee ev'ry Thing that's Ill, and humble to his Will, Your Hearts in low Submission. 3 Amidst thine anxious Cares, and Soul distressing Fears, To GOD pray without ceasing; Sue for his heav'nly Grace, and offer Righteousness, A Sacrifice well pleasing. While Sinners restless grow, more prosp'rous Times to know, In Discontent complaining; LORD, let thy Face divine, on me with Glory shine, Thy Mercy me sustaining. 4 So to my grateful Heart, thy Goodness shall impart, More true and lasting Pleasure Than theirs who seek to find their Joy and Peace of Mind, In Stores of worldly Treasure. With thy Protection blest, I'll teak my needful Rest, My Head in Peace reclining; Securely I'll repose, not fear, tho' all my Foes, Against me are combining.

How many, Lord, there be

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How many, Lord, there be, that strive to trouble me, My Peace of Mind destroying! And as their Numbers grow so does their Hatred too, In my Afflictions joying. They do my Soul upbraid, thought GOD himself's my Aid, Yet know they not to fear him; Insultingly they cry, let him on GOD rely, The LORD now more will hear him. 3 But thou art my Defence, my Hope and Confidence, In thee alone are placed; My glory thou shalt raise, and to thy endless Praise, My Foes shall be disgraced. When like Distress was nigh, my sad and mournful Cry, Was to the LORD addressed; And from his holy Hill, he did my Wish fulfill, And all my Wrongs redressed. 3 In thy Protection blest, secure I take my Rest, No kind of Danger fearing; When Morning gilds the Skies, refresh'd again I rise, Sweet Sleep my Spirit cheering. Not all my Foes combin'd, disturb my Peace of Mind, Their Rage shall ne'er confound me. To thee I lift my Voice, and in thy Strength rejoice, Tho' thousands should surround me. 4 Arise, O GOD, arise! Disperse those Enemies, That are my Life pursuing; Let thy Almighty Hand, their utmost Pow'r withstand, And guard me safe from Ruin. To GOD, who is my Song, Salvation doth belong; And they shall be defended; Who hat lift up on high, their supplicating Cry, And on the LORD depended.

Who hath his dwelling made, beneath th' Almighty's Shade

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Who hath his Dwelling made, beneath th'Almighty's Shade, Shall securely there abide: Thus to my Soul I'll say, He is my Tow'r and Stay, In thee, LORD, I will confide. His tender Love and Care, Shall free thee from the Snare, And the noisome Pestilence; His shelt'ring Wings he'll spread, O'er thy unguarded Head, And his Truth is thy Defence. 2 No Terrors of the Night, Shall thy firm courage fright, Nor the Shafts that fly by Day; Nor secret Plague that kills, Nor those infectious Ills, Which in hottest Season slay: Near thee ten Thousand die, And strew'd around thee lie, Whilst thy Health untouch'd remains; Thou shalt look on and see, Their sad Catastrophe, Counting still the Sinners Gains. 3 Because with Confidence, On GOD, for thy Defence, Thou most firmly didst rely; Therefore no Sickness shall, Upon thy Dwelling fall, Nor shall any Plague draw nigh: For GOD, throughout thy Days, To guard thee in thy Ways, To his Angels gives Commands; And they, lest thou should'st meet, Rough Stones to wound thy Feet, Shall convey thee in their Hands. 4 In Safety he shall go; Lions and Dragons too, Underneath his Feet shall lie; Because he honour'd me, Saith GOD, I'll set him free, And will place his Throne on high: Whatever Ill befalls, I'll answer when he calls, And increase his Pow'r and Wealth; And when in Calm Content, His happy Life is spent, Him I'll crown with saving Health.
