DAYSPRING OF ETERNITY. P. M. Johann Anastasius Freylinghausen. (1670-1739.) 1704. I. DAYSPRING of Eter - ni- ty, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us, that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night. I. THREE in One, and One in Three, Ruler of the earth and sea, Hear us, while we lift to Thee Holy chant and psalm. 1028 "Three in One, and One in Three," 2 Light of lights, with morning, shine: Lift on us Thy light divine; And let charity benign Breathe on us her balm. 3 Light of lights, when falls the even, Let it close on sin forgiven; Fold us in the peace of heaven, Shed a holy calm. Three in One, and One in Three, Hope to bear the palm. Rev. Gilbert Rorison. (1821-1869.) 1850. alt. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor 13 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways 4 Do more than pardon; give us joy, 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, Thou art our Jesus, and our All. 1 MILLIONS within Thy courts have met, Soon as the light of morning broke O'er island, continent, or deep, Sabbath all round the world to keep. 3 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble Thou wert nigh: Not one hath sought Thy face in vain. 4 Yet one prayer more, and be it one, In which both heaven and earth accord: Fulfil Thy promise to Thy Son; Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord. James Montgomery. (1771-1854.) 1853. ab. and sl. alt. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, O forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed gospel of Thy Son, Still by the power of His great name Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Hosanna!. to their heavenly King, When children's voices raise that song, Hosanna! let their angels sing, And heaven with earth the strain prolong. 5 But will, indeed, Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest? Here will the world's Redeemer reign? And here the Holy Spirit rest? 6 That glory never hence depart; 13 Lord of the temple, once disowned, 4 Be Thy dear name, like ointment, shed 5 More grand the temple, and the strain The broad, illimitable sky; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alore: 2 He hung its starry roof on high, Thy kingdom come to every heart, In every bosom fix Thy throne. He spread its pavement, green and bright, 3 The mountains in their places stood, 4 Lord. 't is not ours to make the sea, 2 Enter with all Thy glorious train, 3 Here, mighty God, accept our vows, 4 Here let the Son of David reign, 5 Here let Him hold a lasting throne, Rev. Isaac Watts. (1674-1748.) 1719. 1037 God's Blessing invoked. IO THOU, whose own vast temple stands, Accept the walls that human hands 2 Lord, from Thine inmost glory send, 3 May erring minds, that worship here, And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray. 4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise, While round these hallowed walls the storm Of earth-born passion dies. William Cullen Bryant. (1794-) 1835. EVENING HYMN. L. M. Thomas Tallis. 1585) c. 1567. 1. WHEN Jesus dwelt in mor- tal clay, What were His works from day to day, Christ's Beneficence a Pattern for us. 1038 Acts x. 38. 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives, 4 But he who marks from day to day 1039 I FAITH, hope, and charity, these three, 2 Faith, that in prayer can never fail ; Is God's own name, for "God is love." Rev. Thomas Gibbons. (1720-1785.) 1784. 4 But charity, serene, sublime, The useful Life. I Go, labor on; spend and be spent, It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught; Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain: Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises,-what are men? 3 Go, labor on; enough, while here, If He shall praise thee, if He deign Thy willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for Him shall be in vain. 4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal: "Behold, I come!" Beyond the range of death and time, 1 ONE cup of healing oil and wine, 2 In true and inward faith we trace Rev. Horatius Bonar, (1808-) 1857. ab. Rev. William Hamilton Drummond.
