5. Rise, my soul, the day is breaking,
Gladdened nature drinks the light;
From the sleep of darkness waking,
Put off all the clouds of night.
6. Take the rest this day is bringing,
Rest of all our earthly days,
Enter thou His gates with singing,
Tread the hallowed floor with praise.
1. LORD dismiss us with Thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, Thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace:
O, refresh us,
Traveling through this wilderness.
2. Thanks we give, and adoration,
For Thy Gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May Thy presence
With us evermore be found.
3. Then, whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne, on angels' wings to heaven—
Glad the summons to obey-
May we ever
Reign with Christ in endless day.
1. LORD with glowing heart I'll praise Thee,
For the bliss Thy love bestows;
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows:
Help, O Lord, my weak endeavor,
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2. Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away:
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stain'd cross appear.
3. Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express:
Low before Thy footstep kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless:
Let Thy grace, my soul's chief pleasure,
Love's pure flame within me raise;
And since words can never measure,
Let my love show forth Thy praise.
PRAISE the God of all creation;
Praise the Father's boundless love;
Praise the Lamb, our expiation-
Priest and King, enthroned above;
Praise the Fountain of salvation-
Him by whom our spirits live;
Undivided adoration
To the one Jehovah give.
1. AWAKE our drowsy souls,
And break each slothful band;
The wonders of this day
Our noblest songs demand!
Auspicious morn, thy blissful rays
Bright seraphs hail in songs of praise.
2. At thy approaching dawn
Reluctant death resigned
The glorious Prince of life,
Its dark domains confined:
Th' angelic host around him bends,
And mid their shouts the God ascends.
3. "All hail, triumphant Lord!"
Heaven with hosannas rings;
While earth, in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy art thou, who once wast slain,
Through endless years to live and reign.
4. Gird on, great God, Thy sword,
Ascend Thy conquering car,
While justice, truth, and love,
Maintain the glorious war;
Victorious Thou, Thy foes shall tread,
And sin and hell in triumph lead.
1. ALL, from the sun's uprise
Unto his setting rays,
Resound in jubilees
The great Creator's praise.
Him serve alone; in triumph bring
Your gifts, and sing before His throne!
2. Man drew from man his birth;
But God his noble frame,
Built of the ruddy earth,
Filled with celestial flame.
His sons we are, by Him are led,
Preserved and fed with tender care.
3. Then to His portals press
In your divine resorts;
With thanks His power profess,
And praise Him in His courts.
How good! how pure! His mercies last;
His promise past is ever sure.
1. REJOICE! the Lord is King!
Your God and King adore;
Mortals! give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift
up the heart-lift up the voice-
Rejoice aloud, ye saints! rejoice!
2. His kingdom can not fail;
He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:
Lift up the heart-lift up the voice-
Rejoice aloud, ye saints! rejoice!
3. He all His foes shall quell—
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up the heart-lift up the voice-
Rejoice aloud, ye saints! rejoice!
4. Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home:
We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice;
The trump of God shall sound-Rejoice!
1. LORD of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thine earthly temples are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires
With warm desires to see my God.
2. The sparrow for her young
With pleasure seeks a nest;
And wandering swallows long
To find their wonted rest;
My spirit faints, with equal zeal,
To rise and dwell among Thy saints.
3. O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men, that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still; and happy they
That love the way to Zion's hill.
4. They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrive at length,
Till each in heaven appears.
O glorious seat, when God our King
Shall thither bring our willing feet.
1. THE Lord Jehovah reigns;
His throne is built on high;
The garments He assumes
Are light and majesty:
His glories shine
With beams so bright,
No mortal eye
Can bear the sight.
2. The thunders of His hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard His holy law:
And where His love
Resolves to bless,
His truth confirms
And seals the
3. And can this mighty King
Of glory condescend?
And will He write His name
"My Father and my Friend?"
I love His name,
I love His word:
Join, all my powers,
And praise the Lord.
1. WELCOME-delightful morn,
Thou day of sacred rest;
I hail thy kind return;
Lord, make these moments blest:
From the low train of mortal toys,
I soar to reach immortal joys.
