By day, by night, at home, a broad, I would be still with Thee.

A-men.

1

STILL with Thee, O my God,

I would desire to be;

By day, by night, at home, abroad,
I would be still with Thee.

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

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.

4 With Thee when day is done,

And evening calms the mind;
The setting as the rising sun

With Thee my heart would find.

5 With Thee when darkness brings
The signal of repose,

Calm in the shadow of Thy wings,
Mine eyelids I would close.

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.

James D. Burns, 1857

WEET Saviour, bless us ere we go;

SW

Thy word into our minds instil;

And make our luke-warm 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.

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.
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.

4 Do more than pardon; give us joy,
Sweet fear and sober liberty,
And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like Thee.

5 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
The sinful, unto Thee we call;
O let Thy mercy make us glad;
Thou art our Jesus, and our all.

Frederick W. Faber, 1849

THE

HE Lord be with us as we bend
His blessing to receive;

His gift of peace upon us send,
Before His courts we leave.

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.

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.

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.

John Ellerton, 1870

All my pow'rs to Thee sur - render, Thine and only Thine to

Take me now, Lord Jesus,

heart be Thine,

Thy de- voted servant make me, Fill

my soul with love divine. A men. e -6
