WATCHMAN, TELL US OF THE NIGHT. 7s. Double.
Small notes in lat measure used on D.C
1 SHEPHERD, with Thy tenderest love
Guide me to Thy fold above,
Let me hear Thy gentle voice,
More and more in Thee rejoice,
From Thy fulness grace receive,
Ever in Thy Spirit live.
2 Filled by Thee, my cup o'erflows,
For Thy love no limit knows;
Guardian angels, ever nigh,
Lead and draw my soul on high;
Constant to my latest end,
Thou my footsteps wilt attend.
3 Jesus, with Thy presence blest,
. Death is life, and labor rest;
Guide me while I draw my breath,
Guard me through the gate of death,
And at last, O let me stand
With the sheep at Thy right hand.
1 COME to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners ruined by the fall;
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows to you, to me, to all,
In a full, perpetual tide,
Opened when our Saviour died.
2 Come in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind;
Here the guilty, free remission,
Here the troubled, peace may find;
Health this fountain will restore,
He that drinks shall thirst no more.
3 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood; God is faithful, God will never Break His covenant in blood; Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.
1 Now from labor and from care
Evening shades have set me free:
In the work of praise and prayer,
Lord, I would converse with Thee;
O behold me from above;
Fill me with a Saviour's love!
2 Sin and sorrow, guilt and woe, Wither all my earthly joys; Naught can charm me here below But my Saviour's melting voice; Lord, forgive, Thy grace restore; Make me Thine for evermore!
3 For the blessings of this day,
For the mercies of this hour,
For the Gospel's cheering ray,
For the Spirit's quickening power,
Grateful notes to Thee I raise;
O accept my song of praise!
1 In this calm, impressive hour, Let my prayer ascend on high: God of mercy, God of power, Hear me, when to Thee I cry; Hear me from Thy lofty throne, For the sake of Christ Thy Son.
2 With the morning's early ray,
While the shades of night depart,
Let Thy beams of light convey
Joy and gladness to my heart :
Now o'er all my steps preside,
And for all my wants provide.
3 O what joy that word affords: "Thou shalt reign o'er all the earth; King of kings, and Lord of lords, Send Thy gospel heralds forth; Now begin Thy boundless sway, Usher in the glorious day !
1 LIGHT of Light, enlighten me !
Now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee,
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning!
With Thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest.
2 Fount of all our joy and peace,
To Thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me;
Bless Thy word that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.
