For a season called to part, 44. Father, hear our humble prayer ! In thy strength may we be strong; John Newton. "As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so THIRSTING for a living spring, By thy spirit's holy light; 46. "Sing forth the honor of his name; make his WHEN morning gilds the skies, Thy name, O Lord, be praised! Thy name, O Lord, be praised! When sleep her balm denies, Thy name, O Lord, be praised! Thy name, O Lord, be praised! Does sadness fill my mind? Thy name, O Lord, be praised! Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, Thy name, O Lord, be praised ! In heaven's eternal bliss The loveliest strain is this, Thy name, O Lord, be praised! Let earth and sea and sky, From depth to height reply, Thy name, O Lord, be praised ! Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, Thy name, O Lord, be praised! Be this the eternal song, Thy name, O Lord, be praised! AMEN. German, 1828. Tr. by Edward Caswall. ↑ |
