Psalms 99:7

• [Psa 99:7] Now, When The Dusky Shades Of Night

  Now, when the dusky shades of night, retreating Before the sun’s red banner, swiftly flee; Now, when the terrors of the dark are fleeting, O Lord, we lift our thankful hearts to Thee. To Thee, whose Word, the fount of light unsealing, When hill and dale in thickest darkness lay, Awoke bright rays across the dim earth stealing, And bade the even and morn complete the day. Look from the tower of heaven, and send to cheer us, Thy light and truth, to guide us onward still; Still let Thy mercy, as of old, be near us, And lead us safely to Thy holy hill. In vain to labor, unless Thou be with him, Man goeth forth through all the weary day; In vain his strife, in vain his toil unceasing, Unless Thy staff bring comfort on his way. Thou, who hast made the north and south, watch o’er us; Thou, in Whose Name the lonely ones rejoice, Still let Thy cloudy pillar glide before us, Still let us listen for Thy warning voice. So, when the morn of endless light is waking, And shades of evil from its splendors flee, Safe may we rise, the earth’s dark breast forsaking, Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee.

• [Psa 148:5] O Source Divine, And Life Of All

  O Source divine, and life of all, The Fount of being’s wondrous sea! Thy depth would every heart appall That saw not love supreme in Thee. We shrink before Thy vast abyss, Where worlds on worlds eternal brood: We know Thee truly but in this— That Thou bestowest all our good. And so, ’mid boundless time and space, O grant us still in Thee to dwell, And through the ceaseless web to trace Thy presence working all things well. Nor let Thou life’s delightful play Thy truth’s transcendent vision hide; Nor strength and gladness lead astray From Thee, our nature’s only Guide. Bestow on every joyous thrill Thy deeper tones of reverent awe: Make pure Thy children’s erring will, And teach their hearts to love Thy law.
