MORNING HYMNS. 1 DEAR Jesus, thou hast safely kept 2 How very good and kind Thou art 3 Lord Jesus, let me come to Thee, 4 By nature I am vain and proud, Lord, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take me for Thy child. 0980 1 I THANK Thee, Lord, for quiet rest Oh! let me through this day be blest, 2 Oh, let me love Thee! Kind thou art To children such as I; Give me a gentle, holy heart; 3 Help me to please my parents dear, Bless all my friends both far and near, 1 Now the night is past away, 2 By His care I have been kept + While I count Thy mercies o'er, How to do Thy holy will. 088 1 THE darkness is over, the sun is on high, I'll rise with the skylark, and join in his song, 3 How kind He is to me, how great, and how good! I wish I could serve Him as well as I should: Lord help me, then, daily my duty to know, And I do better the older I grow. may 808 1 THE morning bright, With rosy light, Has waked me from my sleep; Father, I own Thy love alone Thy little one doth keep. 2 All through the day, I humbly pray, Be Thou my Guard and Guide, My sins forgive, And let me live, Blest Jesus, near Thy side. 3 O make Thy rest Within my breast, Great Spirit of all grace; Prepared to see Thy face. EVENING HYMNS. 1 JESUS, tender Shepherd, hear me ! 2 All this day Thy hand has led me, 3 Let my sins be all forgiven; Bless the friends I love so well; Take me, when I die, to heaven, Happy there with thee to dwell. 1 THROUGH the day Thy love hath spared us, Wearied we lie down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our guardian be, Sweet it is to trust in Thee. |
