✞ Hymn - Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinfulness Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

 ✞ Hymn - Father, Lead Me Day by Day
Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Your own sweet way;
Teach me to be pure and true;
Show me what I ought to do.

When in danger, make me brave;

Make me know that You can save:
Keep me safe by Your dear side;
Let me in Your love abide.

When I’m tempted to do wrong,

Make me steadfast, wise and strong;
And when all alone I stand,
Shield me with Your mighty hand.

May I do the good I know,

Be Your loving child below,
Then at last go home to Thee,
Evermore Your child to be.
