StF 137

  1. New every morning is the love
    our wakening and uprising prove;
    through sleep and darkness safely brought,
    restored to life, and power, and thought.
  1. New mercies, each returning day
    hover around us while we pray;
    new perils past, new sins forgiven,
    new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
  1. If on our daily course our mind
    be set to hallow all we find,
    new treasures still, of countless price,
    God will provide for sacrifice.
  1. Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,
    as more of heaven in each we see;
    some softening gleam of love and prayer
    shall dawn on every cross and care.
  1. The trivial round, the common task,
    will furnish all we ought to ask;
    room to deny ourselves, a road
    to bring us daily nearer God.
  1. Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love
    for perfect rest with you above;
    and help us, this and every day,
    to live more nearly as we pray.

John Keble (1792–1866)

StF 152

  1. This is the day,
    this is the day that the Lord has made,
    that the Lord has made.
    We will rejoice,
    we will rejoice and be glad in it,
    and be glad in it.
    This is the day that the Lord has made;
    we will rejoice and be glad in it.
    This is the day,
    this is the day that the Lord has made.
  1. This is the day,
    this is the day when he rose again,
    when he rose again.
    We will rejoice,
    we will rejoice and be glad in it,
    and be glad in it.
    This is the day when he rose again;
    we will rejoice and be glad in it.
    This is the day,
    this is the day when he rose again.
  1. This is the day,
    this is the day when the Spirit came,
    when the Spirit came.
    We will rejoice,
    we will rejoice and be glad in it,
    and be glad in it.
    This is the day when the Spirit came;
    we will rejoice and be glad in it.
    This is the day,
    this is the day when the Spirit came.

StF 51

  1. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
    there is no shadow of turning with thee;
    thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
    as thou hast been thou for ever wilt be:

Great is thy faithfulness!  Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

  1. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
    sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
    join with all nature in manifold witness
    to thy great faithfulness, mercy and love:
  1. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
    thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
    strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
    blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

StF 550

  1. 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.
  1. The task thy wisdom has assigned
    O let me cheerfully fulfil,
    in all my works thy presence find,
    and prove thy good and perfect will.
  1. 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.
  1. 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;
  1. For thee delightfully employ
    whate'er thy bounteous grace has given,
    and run my course with even joy,
    and closely walk with thee to heaven.

Charles Wesley (1707–88)

StF 141

  1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
    the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
    when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
    help of the helpless, O abide with me.
  1. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
    earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
    change and decay in all around I see;
    O thou who changest not, abide with me!
  1. I need thy presence every passing hour;
    what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
    Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
    Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
  1. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
    ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
    where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
    I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
  1. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
    shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
    heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
    in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)

StF 526

  1. Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
    whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy,
    be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
    your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.
  1. Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
    whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe,
    be there at our labours, and give us, we pray,
    your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day.
  1. Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
    your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace,
    be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
    your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.
  1. Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
    whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,
    be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
    your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.

StF 248

  1. I heard the voice of Jesus say:
    ‘Come unto me and rest;
    lay down, O weary one, lay down
    your head upon my breast.’
    I came to Jesus as I was,
    weary and worn and sad,
    I found in him a resting-place,
    and he has made me glad.
  1. I heard the voice of Jesus say:
    ‘Behold, I freely give
    the living water; thirsty one,
    stoop down and drink and live.’
    I came to Jesus, and I drank
    of that life-giving stream;
    my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
    and now I live in him.
  1. I heard the voice of Jesus say:
    ‘I am this dark world's Light;
    look unto me, your morn shall rise,
    and all your day be bright.’
    I looked to Jesus, and I found
    in him my star, my sun;
    and in that light of life I'll walk,
    till travelling days are done.

Horatius N. Bonar (1808–1889)

StF 351

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found,
    he is my light, my strength, my song;
    this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
    firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
    What heights of love, what depths of peace,
    when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
    My Comforter, my All in All,
    here in the love of Christ I stand.
  1. In Christ alone! — who took on flesh,
    fullness of God in helpless babe!
    This gift of love and righteousness,
    scorned by the ones he came to save:
    till on that cross as Jesus died,
    the wrath of God was satisfied
    for every sin on him was laid;
    here in the death of Christ I live.
  1. There in the ground his body lay,
    light of the world by darkness slain:
    then bursting forth in glorious Day
    up from the grave he rose again!
    And as he stands in victory,
    sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
    for I am his and he is mine —
    bought with the precious blood of Christ.
  1. No guilt in life, no fear in death,
    this is the power of Christ in me;
    from life's first cry to final breath,
    Jesus commands my destiny.
    No power of hell, no scheme of man,
    can ever pluck me from his hand;
    till he returns or calls me home,
    here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

Psalm 46 (StF 810)

  1. God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble;
  1. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved,
    and though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
  1. Though the waters rage and swell,
    and though the mountains quake at the towering seas.
  1. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy place of the dwelling of the Most High.
  1. God is in the midst of her; therefore shall she not be removed;
    God shall help her at the break of day.
  1. The nations are in uproar and the kingdoms are shaken,
    but God utters his voice and the earth shall melt away.
  1. The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
  1. Come and behold the works of the Lord,
    what destruction he has wrought upon the earth.
  1. He makes wars to cease in all the world;
    he shatters the bow and snaps the spear and burns the chariots in the fire.
  1. ‘Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.
  1. The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

StF 518

  1. Father, hear the prayer we offer:
    not for ease that prayer shall be,
    but for strength that we may ever
    live our lives courageously.
  1. Not for ever in green pastures
    do we ask our way to be;
    but the steep and rugged pathway
    may we tread rejoicingly.
  1. Not for ever by still waters
    would we idly rest and stay;
    but would strike the living fountains
    from the rocks along our way.
  1. Be our strength in hours of weakness,
    in our wanderings be our guide;
    through endeavour, failure, danger,
    Father, be there at our side.

Love Maria Willis (1824–1908)

StF 489

  1. All I once held dear,
    built my life upon,
    all this world reveres,
    and wars to own,
    all I once thought gain
    I have counted loss;
    spent and worthless now,
    compared to this.

Knowing you, Jesus,
knowing you,
there is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
you're my joy, my righteousness,
and I love you, Lord.

  1. Now my heart's desire
    is to know you more,
    to be found in you
    and known as yours.
    To possess by faith
    what I could not earn,
    all-surpassing gift
    of righteousness.
  1. Oh, to know the power
    of your risen life,
    and to know you in
    your sufferings.
    To become like you
    in your death, my Lord,
    so with you to live
    and never die.

StF 563

  1. O Jesus, I have promised
    to serve you to the end;
    Lord, be for ever near me,
    my master and my friend;
    I shall not fear the battle
    if you are by my side,
    nor wander from the pathway
    if you will be my guide.
  1. O let me feel you near me;
    the world is ever near;
    I see the sights that dazzle,
    the tempting sounds I hear;
    my foes are ever near me,
    around me, and within;
    but, Jesus, now draw nearer,
    and shield my soul from sin.
  1. O let me hear you speaking
    in accents clear and still,
    above the storms of passion,
    the murmurs of self-will;
    O speak to reassure me,
    to hasten or control;
    Lord, speak, and make me listen,
    O guardian of my soul.
  1. O Jesus, you have promised
    to all who follow you,
    that where you are in glory
    your servant shall be too;
    and, Jesus, I have promised
    to serve you to the end;
    O give me grace to follow
    my master and my friend.

StF 83

  1. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
    to his feet thy tribute bring.
    Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
    who like thee his praise should sing?
    Praise him!  Praise him!
    Praise the everlasting King!
  1. Praise him for his grace and favour
    to his people in distress;
    praise him, still the same for ever,
    slow to chide, and swift to bless.
    Praise him!  Praise him!
    Glorious in his faithfulness.
  1. Father-like, he tends and spares us;
    well our feeble frame he knows;
    in his hands he gently bears us,
    rescues us from all our foes.
    Praise him!  Praise him!
    Widely as his mercy flows.
  1. Angels in the height, adore him;
    ye behold him face to face;
    sun and moon, bow down before him,
    dwellers all in time and space.
    Praise him!  Praise him!
    Praise with us the God of grace!

StF 55

  1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
    in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
    most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
    almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
  1. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
    nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might —
    thy justice like mountains high soaring above
    thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
  1. To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
    in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
    we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
    and wither and perish; but naught changeth thee.
  1. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
    thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
    all praise we would render: O help us to see
    'tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.
  1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
    in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
    most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
    almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Walter Chalmers Smith (1824–1908)

StF 132

  1. O God, our help in ages past,
    our hope for years to come,
    our shelter from the stormy blast,
    and our eternal home.
  1. Under the shadow of thy throne
    thy saints have dwelt secure;
    sufficient is thine arm alone,
    and our defence is sure.
  1. Before the hills in order stood
    or earth received her frame,
    from everlasting thou art God,
    to endless years the same.
  1. A thousand ages in thy sight
    are like an evening gone,
    short as the watch that ends the night
    before the rising sun.
  1. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
    with all their cares and fears,
    are carried downward by the flood,
    and lost in following years.
  1. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    bears all its sons away;
    they fly forgotten, as a dream
    dies at the opening day.
  1. O God, our help in ages past,
    our hope for years to come,
    be thou our guard while life shall last,
    and our eternal home.

Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

StF 663

  1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
    I have heard my people cry.
    All who dwell in dark and sin
    my hand will save.
    I, who made the stars of night,
    I will make their darkness bright.
    Who will bear my light to them?
    Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord.
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord,
if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

  1. I, the Lord of snow and rain,
    I have borne my people’s pain;
    I have wept for love of them.
    They turn away.
    I will break their hearts of stone,
    give them hearts for love alone.
    I will speak my word to them.
    Whom shall I send?
  1. I, the Lord of wind and flame,
    I will tend the poor and lame.
    I will set a feast for them.
    My hand will save.
    Finest bread I will provide
    till their hearts are satisfied.
    I will give my life to them.
    Whom shall I send?
