Hymn 1: Great Shepherd of thy people, hear; thy presence now display; as thou hast given a place for prayer, so give us hearts to pray. Shoe us some token of thy love Our fainting hope to raise, And pour thy blessing from above That we may render praise, Within these walls let holy peace and love and concord dwell; here give the troubled conscience ease; the wounded spirit heal. The hearing ear, the seeing eye, the contrite heart bestow; and shine upon us from on high, that we in grace may grow. May we in faith receive thy Word, in faith address our prayers; and in the presence of the Lord unburden all our cares. Amen
Hymn 2 me, O Lord, with Thy favour. Ps. 106:4 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down; Fix in us thy humble dwelling; All thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus, Thou art all comion, Pure unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart. Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return and never, Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Amen
Hymn 3 Awake Psaltery and harp, I myself will awake early Ps 10 8:2 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. Thy precious time misspent, redeem, Each present day thy last esteem, Improve thy talent with due care; For the great day thyself prepare. Let all thy converse be since, Thy conscience as the noontide clear, Think how all seeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys. By influence of the light Divine Let thy own light to others shine; Reflect all Heav’n’s propitious rays In ardent love and cheerful praise 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. I wake, I wake, ye heav’nly choir, May your devotion me inspire, That I, like you, my age may spend, Like you may on my God attend. Amen
Hymn 4 Forth in Thy name O Lord I go Forth in Thy name, O Lord I go, My daily labour to pursue, Thee, only Thee, resolved to know In all I think, or speak, or do. The task Thy wisdom hath assigned O let me cheerfully fulfil, In all my works Thy presence find, And prove Thy acceptable will. Preserve me from my calling’s snare, And hide my sample heart above, Above the thorns of choking care He gilded baits of worldly love. Thee may I set at my right hand, Whose eyes my inmost substance see, And labour on at Thy command, And offer all my works to Thee. Give me to bear Thy easy yoke, And every moment watch and pray, And still to things eternal look, And hasten to Thy glorious day, For Thee delightfully employ Whate’er Thy bounteous grace hath giv’n, And run my course with even joy, And closely walk with Thee to heaven. Amen
Hymn 5: Come to me. Lord, when first I wake. As the faint lights of morning break; Bid purest thoughts within me rise, Like crystal dew-drops to the skies. Come to me in the sultry noon. Or earth’s low communing will soon Of thy dear face, eclipse the light, And change my fairest day to night. Come to me in the evening shade, And if my heart from thee Hath-strayed. Oh bring it back, and from afar Smile on me like thine ev’ning star. Come to me in the midnight hour, When sleep withholds its balmy pow’r; Let my lone spirit find her rest, Like John, upon my Saviour’s breast. Come to me through life’s varied way, And when its pulses ceases to play. Then, Saviour, bid me come to thee, That where thou art, thy child may be. Amen
Hymn 6: 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. 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, Cheer my eyes and warm my heart. 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. Amen Hymn 7: Come to the morning pray’r, Come, let us kneel and pray; Pray’r is the Christian pilgrim’s staff To walk with God all day. At noon beneath the rock Of ages rest and pray; Sweet is the shadow from the heat, When the sun smites by the day
At eve shut to the door, Round the home-altar pray, And finding there the house of God, At heav’n gate close the day. When mid-night seals our eyes, Let each in spirit say, I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord, With thee to watch and pray. Amen Hymn 8 He shall cover thee with His feathers – Ps 91:4 The Morning brights with rosy light Has waked me from my sleep Father, I won Thy love laone Thy little one doth keep All through the day, I humbly pray Be Thou my guard and guide My sins forgive, and let me live, Lord Jesus, near Thy side Oh make Thy rest within my breast, Great Spirit of all grace Make me like Thee, then shall I be Prepared to see Thy face Amen
Hymn 9 Jesus, Sun of righteousness, Brightness beam of live divine With the early morning rays Do Thou on our darkness shine, And dispel with purest light All our night As on drooping herb and flow’r Falls the soft refreshing dew, Let Thy Spirit’s grace and pow’r All our weary souls renew; Show’rs of blessing over all Softly fall 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 sere Thee and obey All the day Oh, our only Hope and Guide Never leave us nor forsake; Keep us ever at Thy side Till th’eternal morning break Moving on to Zion’s hill, Homeward still 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, Safely rest. Amen
Hymn 10: Holy Father, hear me; Thou art my defender; Be thou ever near me, Loving, true, and tender. Jesus, blessed master. Lord of life and glory Bid the hours fly faster, Till i kneel before thee. Comforter denignest, Who abiding in me All my need divinest, Move me, draw me, win me. Holy, Holy,Holy, Come and leave me never, Thine abode most lowly, Only Thine for ever. Amen
