Reign over me, Lord Jesus;
O make my heart Thy throne:
It shall be Thine, dear Saviour,
It shall be Thine alone.
{51}
4 O come and reign, Lord Jesus;
Rule over everything!
And keep me always loyal,
And true to Thee, my King. Amen.

1 Jesu, gentlest Saviour,
God of might and power,
Thou Thyself art dwelling
In us at this hour.
2 Nature cannot hold Thee,
Heaven is all too strait
For Thine endless glory
And Thy royal state.
3 Out beyond the shining
Of the furthest star
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
4 Yet the hearts of children
Hold what words cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.
5 Jesu, gentlest Saviour,
Dwelling in us now,
Fill us full of goodness
Till our hearts o'erflow.
{52}
6 Multiply our graces,
Chiefly love and fear,
And, dear Lord, the chiefest,
Grace to persevere. Amen.

MORNING.
1 My Father, for another night
Of quiet sleep and rest,
For all the joy of morning light,
Thy holy Name be blest.
2 Now with the new-born day I give
Myself anew to Thee,
That as thou willest I may live,
And what Thou willest be.
3 Whate'er I do, things great or small,
Whate'er I speak or frame,
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' Name.
4 My Father, for His sake, I pray,
Thy child accept and bless;
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.

1 Lord, for to-morrow and its needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for to-day.
2 Let me both diligently work
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for to-day.
3 Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself,
Just for to-day.
4 Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for to-day.
5 Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay;
Let me be faithful to Thy grace,
Just for to-day.
6 Lord, for to-morrow and its needs,
I do not pray;
But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Just for to-day. Amen.

1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O k
