CAC GHB 15 : COME DOWN O LOVE DIVINE

Hymn 15: Come down, O Love divine, Seek thou this soul of mine, And visit it with thine own Ardour glowing; O comforter, draw near, Within my heart appear, And kindle it, thy holy Flame bestowing. O let it freely burn, Till earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its Heat consuming; And let thy glorious light Shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, The while my path illuming. Let holy charity Mine outward vesture be, And lowliness become mine Inner clothing; True lowliness of heart, Which takes the humbler part, And o'er its own shortcomings Weeps with loathing. And so the yearning strong, With which the soul will long, Shall far outpass the power of Human telling; For none can guess its grace, Till he become the place Wherein the Holy Spirit Makes his dwelling.

CAC GHB 17: Mercy and judgement will I sing

MERCY AND JUDGEMENT I WILL SING-17 Oh that my ways were directed to keep Thy statues Ps 119:5 Mercy and judgment will I sing, I sing, O Lord, to thee!

From lies, from slander, and deceit, My dwelling shall be free; May it be found a dwelling meet, O righteous Lord, for thee!

CAC GHB 19 : GLORY TO THEE MY GOD THIS NIGHT

Hymn 19: Glory to thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own almighty wings. 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. Teach me to live that I may dread The grave as little as my bed; Teach me to die, that so I may Triumphing rise at the last day. O may my soul on thee repose, And may with sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep that may me more vigorous make, To serve my God, when I awake. If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heav'nly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow, Truthful lips and meek obedience Show Thy glory in Thine own. Day by day we magnify Thee, When for Jesus’ sake we try Every wrong to bear with patience, Every sin to mortify. Day by day we magnify thee, Till our days on earth shall cease, Till we re

CAC GHB 26 : LEAD KINDLY LIGHT AMID THE ENCIRCLING GLOOM

MAKE MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD 26 Lead kindly light In the daytime also He led hem with a cloud and all night with a light of fire. Ps.78:14 Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distance scene-one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor pray’d that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I lov’d to choose and see my path, but now Lead Thou me on; I loved me garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will; remember not past years. So long Thy pow’r hath bless’d me, sure it still Will lead me on O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have lov’d long since, and lost awhile.

CAC GHB 22 : ABIDE WITH FAST FALL THE EVENTIDE

MAKE MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD 22-Abide with me fast falls the even tide Abide with us for it is towards evening Lk 24:29 Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail And comforts flee, Help of the helpless, Oh abide with me! Swift to its close ebbs out Life's little day. Earth's joys grow dim; Its glories pass away. Change and decay In all around I see; O Thou, who changest not, Abide with me! I need Thy presence Every passing hour. What but Thy grace Can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself, My guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, With Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, And tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, If Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross Before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom And point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, And earth's vain shadows f

CAC GHB 32 : ERE I SLEEP FOR EVERY FAVOUR

32-Ere I sleep for every favour Ere I sleep for every favour This day show’d By my God, I will bless my Saviour O my Lord, what shall I render To Thy name, Still the same, Merciful and tender? Thou hast order’d all my goings In Thy way, Heard me pray, Sanctified my doings. Leave me not, but ever love me; Let Thy peace Be my bliss, Till Thou hence remove me. Thou my rock, my guard, my tower, Safely keep, While I sleep, Me, with all Thy power. So, whene’er in death I slumber, Let me rise With the wise, Counted in their number.
