O Lord, another day is flown
Author: H. K. White Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #719 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 O Lord, another day is flown;
And we, a lowly band,
Are met once more before thy throne,
To bless thy fostering hand.
2 And wilt thou bend a listening ear
To praises low as ours?
Thou wilt! for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.
3 Thy heavenly grace to each impart
All evil far remove;
And shed abroad in every heart
Thy everlasting love.
4 Thus chastened, cleansed, entirely thine,
A flock by Jesus led,
The Sun of Holiness shall shine
In glory on our head.
5 And thou wilt turn our wandering feet,
And thou wilt bless our way;
Till worlds shall fade, and faith shall greet
The dawn of lasting day.
O Lord, another day is flown
The hours of evening close
Author: Conder Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #720 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 The hours of evening close;
Its lengthened shadows, drawn
O'er scenes of earth, invite repose,
And wait the Sabbath dawn.
2 So let its calm prevail
O'er forms of outward care;
Nor thought for many things assail
The still retreat of prayer.
3 Our guardian Shepherd near
His watchful eye will keep;
And safe from violence or fear
Will fold his flock to sleep.
4 So may a holier light
Than earth's our spirits rouse,
And call us, strengthened by his might,
To pay the Lord our vows.
The hours of evening close
Softly, now, the light of day
Author: Doane Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #721 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Softly, now, the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with thee.
2 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall for ever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with thee.
Softly, now, the light of day
Glory to thee, my God, this night
Author: Ken Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #722 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Glory to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings!
Beneath the shadow of thy wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord! for thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and thee,
My soul, this night, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious, at the judgment-day.
4 Oh, may my faith on thee repose;
May gentle sleep my eyelids close,
That shall my frame more vigorous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
5 Lord, let my soul for ever share
The bliss of thy parental care;
'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see thy face, and sing thy love. Scripture: Psalm 4:8
Glory to thee, my God, this night
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #723 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
4 Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound. Scripture: Job 11:18-19
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Now condescend, almighty King
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #724 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Now condescend, almighty King,
To bless this little throng;
And kindly listen while we sing
Our pleasant evening song.
2 Brothers and sisters, hand in hand,
Our lips together move:
Oh, smile upon this little band,
Unite our hearts in love.
3 We come to own the power divine
That watches o'er our days;
For this our feeble voices join;
To God we give the praise.
4 May we in safety sleep to-night,
From every danger free;
For, Lord, the darkness and the light
Are both alike to thee.
5 And when the rising sun displays
His cheering beams abroad,
Then may our grateful morning lays
Declare the love of God.
Now condescend, almighty King
As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #792 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Service Music for Mass: Liturgy of the Eucharist Preparation of the Altar and the Gifts Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your Table,
As we listen to your Word,
Help us know, O God, your presence:
Let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
Till we claim it as our own;
Teach us through this holy banquet
How to make Love’s vict'ry known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
In the sacrament of life;
Send us forth to love and serve you,
Bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
To forgive as you forgave;
May we still behold your image
In the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
Other guests to share that feast
Where triumphant Love will welcome
Those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
Nor will pride our peace destroy,
As we join with saints and angels
To repeat the sounding joy. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Step Out on the Promise
Author: Maggie Potter Hymnal: Timeless Truths #1098 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Altar Service First Line: O mourner in Zion, how blessed art thou Lyrics: 1 O mourner in Zion, how blessed art thou,
For Jesus is waiting to comfort you now;
Fear not to rely on the word of thy God.
Step out on the promise, get under the blood.
2 Oh, ye that are hungry and thirsty, rejoice;
For ye shall be filled; do you hear that sweet voice
Inviting you now to the banquet of God?
Step out on the promise, get under the blood.
3 Who sighs for a heart from iniquity free?
Oh, poor, troubled soul! there’s a promise for thee;
There’s rest, weary one, in the bosom of God.
Step out on the promise, get under the blood.
4 The promise won’t save, though the promise is true;
’Tis the blood we get under that cleanses us through;
It cleanses me now, hallelujah to God!
I rest on the promise, I’m under the blood. Scripture: Hebrews 10:23 Tune Title: UNDER THE BLOOD
Step Out on the Promise
