Sunday Morning Praise

In Thankful Remembrance

What shall I render to Thy name or how Thy praises speak?
My thanks how shall I testify, O Lord, Thou know’st I’m weak.
I owe so much, so little can return unto Thy name,
Confusion seizes on my soul, and I am filled with shame.

O Thou that hearest prayers, Lord, to Thee shall come all flesh
Thou hast me heard and answered, my complaints have had access.
What did I ask for but Thou gav’st, what could I more desire?
But thankfulness even all my days I humbly this require.

Thy mercies, Lord, have been so great in number numberless,
Impossible for to recount or any way express.
O help Thy us that seek Thy face to return unto Thee praise
And walk before Thee as they ought, in strict and upright ways.


oly:


In every thing give thanks.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Thankfulness

E’er the day is over we our thanks would say,
For the many pleasures we have had today,
Family and fellowship with friends made us happy, quite —
So a hearty, “Thank you!” tells of our delight.
Before the day is over, let us each recall
How our heav’nly Father plans our pleasures all,
Planting seeds of kindness in each older heart;
So, dear Lord, we thank Thee: Bless us, as we part.

Thou Lovely Source of True Delight

Thou lovely Source of true delight,
Whom I unseen adore;
Unveil Thy beauties to my sight,
That I may love Thee more.

Thy glory o’er creation shines;
But in Thy sacred Word,
I read in fairer, brighter lines,
My bleeding, dying Lord.

’Tis here, whene’er my comforts droop,
And sins and sorrows rise,
Thy love with cheerful beams of hope,
My fainting heart supplies.

Jesus, my Lord, my Life, my Light,
O come with blissful ray;
Break radiant through the shades of night,
And chase my fears away.

Then shall my soul with rapture trace
The wonders of Thy love;
But the full glories of Thy face
Are only known above.

In the hollow of His hand He will hide me
When doubt and sin draw near,
Though no earthly friend may walk beside me,

And I know whatever may betide me,
His vigil He will keep.

In the hollow of His hand He will hide me
When the storms of life sweep by,
To the harbor safe He will guide me,
Where His blessed safe rest lie.

I know whate’er betide me,
His hand will safely guide me,
His love will ever hide me
In the hollow of His hand.

When Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him. Matthew 14:29-31​

When He Reached Down His Hand for Me

Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way
I was wretched and vile as could be,
But my Savior in love, gave me peace from above
When he reached down His hand for me.
When the Savior reached down for me,
When he reached down His hand for me;
I was lost and undone, without God or His Son
When he reached down His hand for me.

Onward I will go with songs of joy and love,
Though earth despise me, though my friends forsake me,

All my tribulations, all my sorrows past;
How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation,
“Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last.”

In My hands I’ll hold thee,
In My arms I’ll fold thee,
I will not forget thee or leave thee;

For all the gifts of life;

The enemies of strife;

The spring’s great miracle of birth,
With sound of songs and wings;

Then, harvests of its teeming soil
In orchard, croft and field;
But more, the service and the toil
Of those who helped them yield;

And most, the gifts of hope and love,
Of wisdom, truth and right,
The gifts that shine like stars above
To chart the world by night.

With ready, generous hand,
Rich fruitage from the lives we live
To bless our home and land.

Now rest beneath night’s shadow the woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies, but Thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee, let praise to thy creator rise.
The radiant sun hath vanished, His golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day — but Christ, the sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness, within my heart holds constant sway.

The rule of day is over and shining jewels cover
The heaven’s boundless blue, thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given to all who faithful prove and true.
To rest my body hasteth, aside its garments casteth,
Types of mortality, these I put off and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder a robe of glorious majesty.

Lord Jesus, who dost love me, oh, spread Thy wings above me
And shield me from alarm, though evil would assail me,
Thy mercy will not fail me: I rest in Thy protecting arm.
My loved ones, rest securely, for God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads — sweet slumbers may He send you,
And bid His hosts attend you and through the night watch o’er your beds.

Sweetest songs He will give in the night,
Oh, how precious the songs in the night!

For I will see you through.”

The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky,
And He gave me eyes to behold
I thank the Lord for everything
And I count my blessing each day.

And our privilege as well,
To this lost and dying people
Of a Savior’s love to tell.

Into every heathen land.

Father of mercies, in Thy Word what endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy Name adored for these celestial lines.
Here may the wretched sons of want exhaustless riches find;
Riches above what earth can grant, and lasting as the mind.

Here the fair tree of knowledge grows and yields a free repast;
And richer fruits than nature shows invite the longing taste.
Amidst these gloomy wilds below, when dark and sad we stray,
Here beams of Heaven relieve our woe, and guide to endless day.

Here springs of consolation rise to cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies, and sweet refreshment find.
Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice spreads heavenly peace around
And life and everlasting joys attend the blissful sound.

Oh, may these hallowed pages be our joy by day and night,
And still new beauties may we see, and still increasing light.
Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, O grant our fervent prayer,
Teach us to love Thy sacred Word, and view the Savior there.
