God of our salvation! hear us;
Bless, oh, bless us, ere we go;
When we join the world, be near us,
Lest we cold and careless grow.
Savior! keep us;
Keep us safe from every foe.

Verse 2

As our steps are drawing nearer
To our everlasting home,
May our view of heaven grow clearer,
Hope more bright of joys to come;
And, when dying,
May thy presence cheer the gloom.

With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day:

Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,

Star of morn and even,
Sun of heaven’s heaven,
Saviour high and dear,
Toward us turn Thine ear;
Through whate’er may come,

Though the tempter come,

From Thy glory-throne
Hear Thy very own:

And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will:
Through life’s long day and death’s dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

Verse 2

The day is done, its hours have run;
And Thou hast taken count of all,
The scanty triumphs grace hath won,
The broken vow, the frequent fall:
Through life’s long day and death’s dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

Verse 3

Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release;
And bless us, more than in past days,
With purity and inward peace:
Through life’s long day and death’s dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

Verse 4

Sweet fear, and sober liberty,
And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like Thee:
Through life’s long day and death’s dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

For all we love, the poor, the sad,
The sinful, unto Thee we call;
O let Thy mercy make us glad;

Through life’s long day and death’s dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

Verse 1

Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed upon the ground;
O may it grow in humble hearts,
And righteous fruits abound.

Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove,
But give it root in praying souls
To bring forth fruits of love.

Let not the world’s deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But may it, in converted minds,
Produce the fruits of joy.

Verse 4

Let not Thy Word, so kindly sent
To raise us to Thy throne,
Return to Thee, and sadly tell
That we reject Thy Son.

Verse 1

And now the wants are told
That brought Thy children to Thy knee;
Here lingering still, we ask for nought,
But simply worship Thee.

Verse 2

The hope of heaven’s eternal days
Absorbs not all the heart
That gives Thee glory, love, and praise,
For being what Thou art.

For Thou art God, the One, the same,
O’er all things high and bright;
And round us, when we speak Thy Name,
There spreads a heaven of light.

Verse 4

O wondrous peace, in thought to dwell
On excellence Divine;
To know that nought in man can tell
How fair Thy beauties shine.

Verse 5

O Thou, above all blessing blest,
O’er thanks exalted far,
Thy very greatness is a rest
To weaklings as we are;

Verse 6

For when we feel the praise of Thee
A task beyond our powers,
We say, “A perfect God is He,
And He is fully ours.”

Still with Thee, O my God,
I would desire to be,
By day, by night; at home, abroad,
I would be still with Thee.

Verse 2

With Thee when dawn comes in
And calls me back to care,
Each day returning to begin
With Thee, my God, in prayer.

Verse 3

With Thee amid the crowd
That throngs the busy mart,
To hear Thy voice, where time’s is loud,
Speak softly to my heart.

Verse 4

With Thee when day is done,
And evening calms the mind;
The setting as the rising sun
With Thee my heart would find.

Verse 5

With Thee when darkness brings
The signal of repose,
Calm in the shadow of Thy wings,
Mine eyelids I would close.

Verse 6

With Thee, in Thee, by faith
Abiding, I would be;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with Thee.

Verse 1

The Lord be with us as we bend
His blessing to receive;
His gift of peace upon us send,
Before His courts we leave.

Verse 2

The Lord be with us as we walk
Along our homeward road;
In silent thought or friendly talk
Our hearts be still with God.

Verse 3

The Lord be with us till the night
Shall close the day of rest;
Be He of every heart the Light,
Of every home the Guest.

Verse 4

And when our nightly prayers we say,
His watch He still shall keep,
Crown with His grace His own blest day,
And guard His people’s sleep.
