The Door of Heaven Part 8

5 Jesu, gentlest Saviour, Dwelling in us now, Fill us full of goodness Till our hearts o'erflow.

{52}

6 Multiply our graces, Chiefly love and fear, And, dear Lord, the chiefest, Grace to persevere. Amen.

MORNING.

1 My Father, for another night Of quiet sleep and rest, For all the joy of morning light, Thy holy Name be blest.

2 Now with the new-born day I give Myself anew to Thee, That as thou willest I may live, And what Thou willest be.

3 Whate'er I do, things great or small, Whate'er I speak or frame, Thy glory may I seek in all, Do all in Jesus' Name.

4 My Father, for His sake, I pray, Thy child accept and bless; And lead me by Thy grace to-day In paths of righteousness. Amen.

1 Lord, for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray; Keep me, my G.o.d, from stain of sin, Just for to-day.

2 Let me both diligently work And duly pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for to-day.

3 Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself, Just for to-day.

4 Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips, Just for to-day.

5 Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay; Let me be faithful to Thy grace, Just for to-day.

6 Lord, for to-morrow and its needs, I do not pray; But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for to-day. Amen.

EVENING.

1 Glory to Thee, my G.o.d, this night For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done, That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, 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 awful day.

4 O may my soul on Thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close, Sleep that shall me more vigorous make To serve my G.o.d when I awake.

5 When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest.

{55}

6 Praise G.o.d, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

12

Lord, keep us safe this night, "Secure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears.
