Where night can never be..

Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee.
p Too faint our anthems here;
er But oh, the strains how full and
Too soon of praise we tire: [clear
Of that eternal choir!
m/Yet, LORD, to Thy dear Will
If Thou attune the heart,
We in Thine Angels' music still
May bear our lower part.

Each wayward thought reclaim,
And make our life a daily psalm
Of glory to Thy Name."

Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,

That in this house have call'd upon Thy Name.

p Grant us Thy peace, LORD, thro' the coming night;

cr Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;

fFrom harm and danger keep Thy children free,

For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

A task beyond our powers,
We say, "A perfect GOD is He,
And He is ally ours."

All glory, HOLY GHOST, to Thee.
All glory to the SON,
While endless ages run. Amen.

MORNING.

MORN of morns, and day of days! Beauteous were thy new-born rays: Brighter yet from death's dark prison CHRIST, the Light of lights, is r.sen. He commanded, and His Word

Death and the dread chaos heard: dim Oh, shall we, more deaf than they, In the chains of darkness stay? p*Nature yet in shadow lies; cr Let the sons of light arise,

And prevent the morning rays With sweet canticles of praise. While the dead world sleeps around, Let the sacred temples sound Law, and prophet, and blest psalm Lit with holy light so calm.

These verses should be sung only at a very early Service.

Unto hearts in slumber weak
Let the heavenly trumpet speak:
And a newer walk express
Their new life to righteousness.
Grant us this, and with us be,
O Thou Fount of charity,
Thou Who dost the SPIRIT give,
Bidding the dead letter live.

Glory to the FATHER, SON,
And to Thee, O HOLY ONE,

By Whose quickening Breath Divine Our dull spirits burn and shine. Amen. "And God said, Let there be light: and

there was light... And the evening 34 and the morning were the first day.' MORNING.

On this day, the first of days,

Did the world from darkness bring.
On this day the Eternal SON
Over death His triumph won;
On this day the SPIRIT came
With His gifts of living flame.
O that fervent love to-day
May in every heart have sway,
Teaching us to praise aright
GOD the Source of life and light.
PFATHER, Who didst fashion me
Image of Thyself to be,

Fill me with Thy love Divine,
Let my every thought be Thine.
HOLY JESUS, may I be
Dead and buried here with Thee;
cr And, by love inflamed, arise
Unto Thee a sacrifice.

mf Thou Who dost all gifts impart,
Shine, Sweet SPIRIT, in my heart,
Best of gifts Thyself bestow:
Make me burn Thy love to know.
GOD, the Blessed THREE in ONE,
Dwell within my heart alone;
Thou dost give Thyself to me,
p May I give myself to Thee. Amen.

"This is the day which the Lord hath 35 made." my AGAIN the LORD's own day is here, The day to Christian people dear, As, week by week, it bids them tell How JESUS rose from death and hell. my For by His flock their LORD declared

His Resurrection should be shared; And we who trust in Him to save

With Him are risen from the grave. my We, one and all, of Him possess'd, Are with exceeding treasures bless'd;" For all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share.

Eternal glory, rest on high,
A blessed immortality,

True peace and gladness, and a throne,
Are all His gifts, and all our own.
And therefore unto Thee we sing,
O LORD of peace, Eternal King;
Thy love we praise, Thy Name adore,
Both on this day and evermore.
Amen.

O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright:
On thee the high and lowly.
Before the Eternal Throne,
Sing Holy, Holy, Holy,

To the great THREE in ONE
On thee, at the creation,

The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation

CHRIST rose from depths of earth; On thee our LORD Victorious

The SPIRIT sent from heaven;
And thus on thee most glorious
A triple light was given.

p Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry dreary sand;
From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our promised land;
A day of sweet refection,
A day of holy love,

cr A day of resurrection
From earth to things above.
mf To-day on weary nations
The heavenly Manna falls,
To holy convocations

The silver trumpet calls,
Where Gospel-light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing

With soul-refreshing streams.
New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the Rest remaining
To spirits of the blest;
To HOLY GHOST be praises,
To FATHER, and to Sox;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, Blest THREE in ONE.

day."

This is the day of peace: Thy peace our spirits fill; [cease, er Bid Thou the blasts of discord dim The waves of strife be still.

This is the day of prayer: Let earth to Heav'n draw near; er Lift up our hearts to seek Thee Come down to meet us here. [there, This is the first of days:

Send forth Thy quickening Breath, And wake dead souls to love and praise,

O Vanquisher of death. Amen.

EVENING.

mf BLEST Creator of the light,
Making day with radiance bright,
Thou didst o'er the forming earth
Give the golden light its birth.
Shade of eve with morning ray
Took from Thee the name of day;
Darkness now is drawing nigh;
Listen to our humble cry.

p May we ne'er by guilt depress'd
Lose the way to endless rest;
Nor with idle thoughts and vain
Bind our souls to earth again.

er Rather may we heavenward rise
Where eternal treasure lies;
Purified by grace within,
Hating every deed of sin.

P HOLY FATHER, hear our cry [High.
cr Through Thy SON our LORD most
Whom our thankful hearts adore
With the SPIRIT evermore. Amen.

And the evening and the morn39 ing were the second day." mfSING we the glory of our GOD, Who on the second day Spread out the firmament above, His wenders to display. There, floating in the blue expanse, The watery clouds we view, [mand Whence fruitful showers at His comThe thirsty soil bedew.

How fair an image of the grace

Which Thou, LORD, dost impart, Like morning dew or gentle rain, To gladden every heart.

And when the faithful soul drinks in Those showers with blessings rife,

er A well of water springeth up To everlasting life.

O happy saints, on whom are pour'd
Such treasures from above!

Eut render love for love.

Freed from its watery veil, the land
Its verdant pastures show'd.

O FATHER, Who the earth hast given
Our place of toil to be,

Knit all within its one wide bound
In one true charity.

Strangers and pilgrims here below,
We seek a home above,

Where Thou wilt gather in Thine own
Who live in holy love.

p Unloving souls, with deeds of ill
And words of angry strife,
Shall never, LORD, Thy glory see,
Nor win the heavenly life.
The earth itself from day to day
Their burden scarce sustains,
And yearns, in travail, to be free
From dark corruption's chains.
Yea, we too groan within ourselves,
And that adoption wait
For which the HOLY SPIRIT's seal
Did us predestinate.

f Eternal glory be ascribed

To GoD, the ONE in THREE,
By Whom is pour'd into our hearts
The grace of charity. Amen.

Wednesday.

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven... and it was so.... And the evening and 41 the morning were the fourth day." mNEW wonders of Thy mighty hand LORD, we to-day admire, Writ on the firmament above In glittering orbs of fire. The sun is ruler of the day, The silver moon of night, The starry hosts adorn the sky In order'd ranks of light. But e'en that glorious sun must set, And knows his going down,

That silver moon must wax and wane The stars their courses own.

Bt in an everchanging round
The daylight comes and goes;
But Thou art evermore the Same,
No change Thy mercy knows.

Why waver then our troubled Thine is a FATHER's care: Ihearts? or And they, eternal life who seek, Eternal life shall share.

All praise, all glory be ascribed
To GOD the ONE in THREE,
Who bids us cast our care on Him,
To Him for comfort flee. Amen.

Against Thy gentle sway;
Proud dust of earth would fain be

Which hence the world o'erspread:

Or hope itself had fled.

O praise the FATHER, and the SON
Who saved us by His death,
And HOLY GHOST Who quickens us
With His life-giving breath. Amen.
