1. Young souls so strong the race to run, And win each height sub - lime,

Un

Send up thy op'n- ing heart to Him, Fix it on One a bove. A-MEN.

2 Be early wise for heaven,

Choose, thou, the narrow way; The gate is strait, the road is rough, But it will end in day.

3 Take, thou, the side of God,

In things or great or small,
So shall He ever take thy side,
And bear thee safe through all.

Edmund S. Carter, 1874

1. Day by day we mag ni - fy Thee, When, as each new day is born,

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

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.

677 DAHL 888 4

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

Asking for Thy loving bless - ing On

2 Father, make us pure and holy,
Teach us to be good;

Show us how to love each other
As we should.

3 Through the day, O loving Father,
May we grow like Thee;

In the beauty all about us
Thy reflection see.

4 When at length shall come the evening
And we fall asleep;

In Thine arms of love, Thy children
Safely keep.

Alice Jackson, 1901

(BARTLETT)

2 Thou hast sent the sun to shine
O'er this glorious world of Thine,
Warmth to give, and pleasant glow,
On each tender flower below.

3 Thou by whom the birds are fed,
Give to me my daily bread;
And Thy Holy Spirit give,
Without whom I cannot live.

4 Make me, Lord. obedient, mild,
As becomes a little child;
All day long, in every way,
Teach me what to do and say.

5 Make me, Lord, in work and play,
Thine more truly every day;
And, when Thou at last shalt come,
Take me to Thy heavenly home.

Mrs. E. Shepcott, 1840
