  Thou Framer of the light and dark, Steer through the tempest Thine own ark; Amid the howling wintry sea, We are in port if we have Thee.

Times without number, awake or in slumber, Thine eye observes us, from danger preserves us, Causing Thy mercy upon us to shine. Father, O hear me, pardon and spare me; Calm all my terrors, blot out my errors, That by Thine eyes they may no more be scanned. Order my goings, direct all my doings; As it may please Thee retain or release me; All I commit to Thy fatherly hand.

• [Gen 1:5] This Day The First Of Days Was Made

  This day the first of days was made, When God in light the world arrayed; Or when His Word arose again, And, conquering death, gave life to men. Slumber and sloth drive far away; Earlier arise to greet the day; And ere its dawn in heaven unfold The heart’s desire to God be told. Unto our prayer that He attend, His all creating power extend, And still renew us, lest we miss Through earthly stain our heavenly bliss. That us, who here this day repair To keep the Apostles’ time of prayer, And hymn the quiet hours of morn, With blessèd gifts He may adorn. For this, Redeemer, Thee we pray That Thou wilt wash our sins away, And of Thy lovingkindness grant Whate’er of good our spirits want. That exiles here awhile in flesh Some earnest may our souls refresh Of that pure life for which we long, Some foretaste of the heavenly song. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

  Earth’s mighty Maker, whose command Raised from the sea the solid land, And drove each billowy heap away, And bade the earth stand firm for aye: That so, with flowers of golden hue, The seeds of each it might renew; And fruit trees bearing fruit might yield— And pleasant pasture of the field; Our spirit’s rankling wounds efface With dewy freshness of Thy grace: That grief may cleanse each deed of ill, And o’er each lust may triumph still. Let every soul Thy law obey, And keep from every evil way; Rejoice each promised good to win And flee from every mortal sin. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

E’en so on us who seek thy face Pour forth the waters of thy grace; Renew the fount of life within, And quench the wasting fires of sin. Let faith discern the eternal Light Beyond the darkness of the night, And through the mists of falsehood see The path of truth revealed by Thee.

• [Gen 1:9] O God, The Joy Of Heav’n Above

  O God, the joy of Heav’n above, Thou didst not need Thy creatures’ love, When from Thy secret place of rest Thy Word the earth’s foundations blest. Thou spakest: worlds began to be; They bow before Thy majesty; And all to their Creator raise A wondrous harmony of praise. But ere, O Lord, this lovely earth From Thy creative will had birth, Thou in Thy counsels didst unfold Another world of fairer mold. That realm shall our Redeemer frame, And build upon His mighty Name; His hand the word of power shall sow, That all the earth His truth may know. When time itself has passed away, His Church, secure in Heav’n for aye, Shall share His table and His throne, And God the Father reign alone. O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, One God in Heav’n and earth confessed, Preserve, direct, and fill with love Thy realm on earth, Thy realm above.

  Thou spakest, Lord, and into one The floods together flowed; Freed from its watery veil, the land Its verdant pastures showed. O Father, who the earth has given Our place of toil to be, Knit all within its one wide bound In one true charity. Strangers and pilgrims here below, We seek a home above, Where Thou wilt gather in Thine own Who live in holy love. Unloving words, with deeds of ill And words of angry strife, Shall never, Lord, Thy glory see, Nor win the heavenly life. The earth itself from day to day Their burden scarce sustains, And yearns, in travail, to be free From dark corruption’s chains. Yea, we too groan within ourselves, And that adoption wait For which the Holy Spirit’s seal Did us predestinate. Eternal glory be ascribed To God, the One in Three, By Whom is poured into our hearts The grace of charity.

  New wonders of Thy mighty hand, Lord, we today admire, Writ on the firmament above In glittering orbs of fire. The sun is ruler of the day, The silver moon of night, The starry hosts adorn the sky In ordered ranks of light. But e’en that glorious sun must set, And knows his going down, That silver moon must wax and wane, The stars their courses own. Still in an ever changing round The daylight comes and goes; But Thou art evermore the same, No change Thy mercy knows. Why waver then our troubled hearts?

Faith springing from the blood of Christ, Has flowed o’er every land; And sinners through the vanquished world Bow down to its command. Its light the joy of Heav’n reveals To hearts made pure within; And bids them seek by worthy deeds Eternal crowns to win.

Lord, grant that we the path may tread Whereon its light doth shine; And gather, as we onward go, The fruits of love divine.

• [Gen 1:27] On Man, In His Own Image Made

  On man, in his own image made, How much did God bestow? The whole creation homage paid, And owned him lord, below! He dwelt in Eden’s garden, stored With sweets for every sense; And there with his descending Lord He walked in confidence. But O! by sin how quickly changed! His honor forfeited, His heart, from God and truth, estranged, His conscience filled with dread! Now from his Maker’s voice he flees, Which was before his joy: And thinks to hide, amidst the trees, From an all seeing eye. Compelled to answer to his name, With stubbornness and pride He cast, on God Himself, the blame, Nor once for mercy cried. But grace, unasked, his heart subdued And all his guilt forgave; By faith, the promised seed he viewed, And felt His pow’r to save. Thus we ourselves would justify, Though we the law transgress; Like him, unable to deny, Unwilling to confess. But when by faith the sinner sees A pardon bought with blood; Then he forsakes his foolish pleas, And gladly turns to God.
