Morning
001i Awake, my soul, and with the sun
001ii Glory to thee, who safe hast kept
002 Brightly, O Father, when morning is breaking
003 Christ, whose glory fills the skies
004 Every morning mercies new
005 My God, I praise thee for the light returning
006 New every morning is the love
007 Now morning lifts her dewy veil
008 Now that the daylight fills the sky
009 Now when the dusky shades of night retreating
010 Now with the rising golden dawn
011 O Jesus, Lord of heavenly grace
012 Once again to meet the day
013 Once more the daylight shines abroad
Mid-Day
014 Almighty Ruler, God of truth
015 See the sun high heaven ascending
016 Thy love for all thy creatures
017 When at midday my task I ply
Afternoon
018 As now the sun's declining rays
019 Before the ending of the day
020 Behold the sun, that seemed but now
021 O God, unchangeable and true
022 The radiant morn hath passed away
Evening
023 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
024 Again, as evening's shadow falls
025 Almighty God, thy throne above
026 At even, ere the sun was set
027 Creator of the light supreme
028 Ere the waning light decay
029 Father, by thy love and power
030 Glory be to thee, my God, this night
031 God, that madest earth and heaven
032 Hear our prayer, O heavenly Father
033 Heavenly Father, by whose care
034 Holy Father, cheer our way
035 Lord of my life, whose tender care
036 Now God be with us
037 Now sinks in night the flaming sun
038 O Brightness of the immortal Father's face
039 O God of all the strength and power
040 O Lord, who by thy presence hast made light
041 O Savior, bless us ere we go
042 Savior, again to thy dear name we raise
043 Savior, breathe an evening blessing
044 Source of light and life divine
045 Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear
046 The day departs
047 The day is gently sinking to a close
048 The day is past and over
049 The day, O Lord, is spent
050 The shadows of the evening hours
051 The sun is sinking fast
052 Through the changes of the day
053 Through the day thy love has spared us
054 When evening shadows gather
Morning or Evening
055 As every day thy mercy spares
056 Star of morn and even
057 Sweet is the morning light to me
Midnight
058 Glory to thee, in light arrayed
Sunday
059 As thou didst rest, O Father
060 Hail, holy rest, calm herald of that day
061 Hail, sacred day of earthly rest
062 Now the six days' work is done
063 O day of rest and gladness
064 On this, the holiest and best
065 This day the light of heavenly birth
066 This is the day of light
067 This is the day the Lord hath made
068 Thou glorious Sun of righteousness
069 Ere another Sabbath close
Hymns on the Creation
070 When o'er the waters' misty deep
071 The earth in robes of light arrayed
072 With azure girdle circled round
073 So grass and herb and fruitful tree
074 Four days had come and gone to rest
075 The last great day of work had come
076 And now, mid myriad worlds enthroned
Week Days
077 Behold us, Lord, a little space
078 O Lord, it is a blessed thing
079 Yesterday with worship blest
080 Another day begun
081 Thou in whose name the two or three
082 Ascended Lord, accept our praise
083 O Jesus, crucified for man
084 Sabbath of the saints of old
085 While the solemn note of time
Litanies
086 Jesus, life of those who die
087 Jesus, with thy Church abide
088 Great, mysterious Trinity
089 God the Father, God the Word

091 Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing, fill our hearts
092 Of thy love some gracious token
093 The Lord be with us as we bend
The Seasons
094 For all thy love and goodness, so bountiful and free

102 Hark, a thrilling voice is sounding
103 Hark the glad sound! the Savior comes
104 I saw and, lo, a great white throne
105 Lo, he comes with clouds descending
106 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

108 Watch now, ye Christians, watch and pray
109 When Christ the Lord would come on earth

129 While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Epiphany
130 As with gladness men of old
131 Bethlehem, of noblest cities
132 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
133 From the eastern mountains
134 Hail, thou source of every blessing

431 Thine for ever! God of love
432 Thou art the way: to thee alone
433 Thou boundless source of every good
434 Thou who on that wondrous journey
435 Thou, whose almighty word
436 Through all the changing scenes of life
437 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
438 Thy life was given for me
439 Thy way, not mine, O Lord
440 Tis for conquering kings to gain
441 Toiling in the path of duty
442 To me a sinner, chief of all
443 To thee, O God, our praise belongs
444 To thy temple I repair
445 Triumphant Lord, thy work is done
446 Try us, O God, and search the ground
447 We all had sinned and gone astray
448 We saw thee not when, far away
449 We sing the praise of him who died
450 What are these in bright array?
451 What care the saints of God, if they
452 When all thy mercies, O my God
453 When gathering clouds around I view
454 When Jesus came to earth of old
455 When my love to Christ grows weak
456 When our heads are bowed with woe
457 When the dark waves round us roll
458 Where'er have trod thy sacred feet
459 Where high the heavenly temple stands
460 While the sun is shining
461 Who is this, so weak and helpless
462 Who the multitude can number
463 Why art thou weary, O my soul
464 With glory clad, with strength arrayed
465 Work is sweet, for God has blessed
466 Ye boundless realms of joy
467 Ye holy angels bright
468 Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim
469 Ye servants of the Lord
470 Yes, God is good
