Hymns of the Kingdom of God, with Tunes

1 STILL with Thee, O my God,

W 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

Thro' life's long day and death's dark night, gen - tle Je - sus, be

our Light

1 SW

YWEET Saviour, bless us ere we go;

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;
0 let Thy mercy make us glad;
Thou art our Jesus, and our all.

Frederick W. Faber, 1849

AY the grace of Christ our Saviour, 2 Thus may we abide in union
And the Father's boundless love,

With each other and the Lord, With the Holy Spirit's favor,

And possess, in sweet communion, Rest upon us from above.

Joys which earth cannot afford.

John Newton, 1779 (Alternate tune for 417) LODSWORTH Six 8s.
