Be Present At Our Table, Lord
Happy the home when God is there
Author: Anon. Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Happy the home when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
When one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heavenly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus' name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early lisp his fame,
And parents hold him dear.
3 Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise is wont to rise;
Where parents love the sacred word,
And live but for the skies.
4 Lord, let us in our homes agree,
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign. Used With Tune: WARWICK
Happy the home when God is there
Thus far the Lord hath led me on
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 657 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion 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,
And 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 if the night of death should come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to break my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound. Used With Tune: HEBRON
Thus far the Lord hath led me on

Remark, my soul, the narrow bounds
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Remark, my soul, the narrow bound
Of each revolving year;
How swift the weeks complete their round!
How short the months appear!
2 So fast eternity comes on,
And that important day
When all that mortal life hath done
God's judgment shall survey.
3 Awake, O God, my careless heart
Its great concerns to see,
That I may act the Christian's part,
And give the years to thee. Used With Tune: WARWICK

Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,672 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 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!

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!
3 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?
Though cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
4 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. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide thee from thy servant's eyes.
2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast!
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without thee I dare not die.
4 Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world my way I take
Till in the ocean of thy love
I lose myself in heaven above. Used With Tune: HURSLEY
Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear!
