On our knees at home we bless Thee For the mer- cies of the morn.

1 DAY by day we magnify Thee,—

When, as each new day is born,

On our knees at home we bless Thee
For the mercies of the morn.

2 Day by day we magnify Thee,-
Not in words of praise alone;
Truthful lips and meek obedience
Show Thy glory in Thine own.

3 Day by day we magnify Thee,-
When for Jesus' sake we try
Every wrong to bear with patience,
Every sin to mortify.

4 Day by day we magnify Thee,

Till our days on earth shall cease,
Till we rest from these our labors,
Waiting for Thy day in peace.

5 Then on that eternal morning,
With Thy great redeemed host,
May we fully magnify Thee,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

John Ellerton, 1858

1 Blessed be the Lord God of Is-ra- | el || for He hath visited | and re- | deem-ed · His people:

2 And hath raised up a might-y sal- | va-tion for us in the house of His | ser-vant David;

3 As He spake by the mouth of His | ho-ly | Prophets which have been | since the world be- gan;

4 That we should be saved | from our enemies and from the hand of | all that | hate — | us;

5 To perform the mercy promised to our fore- | fathers and to remember His | ho-ly | Cov-e

nant;

6 To perform the oath which He sware to our forefather | A-bra- | ham that | He would | give — | us;

7 That we being delivered out of the hand of our | en-e- | mies || might serve | Him with- | out fear;

8 In holiness and righteous- | ness be- | fore Him || all the days of | our—

| life.

9 And thou Child, shalt be called the Prophet | of the | Highest || for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to pre-pare His ways;

10 To give knowledge of salvation | unto His | people || for the re- | mis-sion of their sins, 11 Through the tender mercy of our | God || whereby the day-spring from on | high hath visit- ed us;

12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the | shadow of | death || and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the Fa-ther and to the-Son | and | to the | Ho-ly | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without | end.

2 Let us come before His presence with thanks- | giving | and show ourselves | glad in | Ilim with psalms.

4 In His hand are all the corners of the earth || and the strength of the hills is | Hisalso.

5 The sea is His and He made it || and His hands pre- | pared the | dry | land. 6 O come, let us worship and | fall | down || and kneel be- | fore the | Lord our | Maker. 7 For He is the Lord our God || and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of | His | hand.

8 O worship the Lord in the beauty of | holiness | let the whole earth | stand in | awe of Him.

9 *For He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth and with righteousness to judge the world and the peo-ple | with His | truth."

Glory be to the Father and to the | Son, || and | to the | IIo-ly Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ev-er | shall be || world without | end.— |

1 O be joyful in the Lord | all ye | lands || serve the Lord with gladness, and come before Ilis pres-ence | with a song.

2 Be ye sure that the Lord | He is | God it is IIe that hath made us, and not we ourselves, we are His people and the sheep of | IIis

pasture.

3 O go your way into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise || be thankful unto Him and speak good | of IIis | Name.

4 For the Lord is gracious, His mercy is ev-er- | lasting || and IIis truth endureth from generation to gen-er- | ation.

Glory be to the Father and to the | Son | and | to the | Ho-ly | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now and | ev-er | shall be || world without | end. — | A-— | men,
