% This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely 
% distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual 
% songs, and prelude/postlude music.  This music is to be distributed 
% as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, 
% in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which
% can be freely modified by anyone.  The current format of choice is the 
% "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet.
% All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats.
% Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate 
% translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" 
% version 4.10 or later.  I am doing my best to create a final product
% that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for
% a printed church hymnal.
%
% The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (brian 
% dot j dot dumont at gmail dot com).  I have gone through serious efforts 
% to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database.
% If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible.
%
% This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to 
% the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of
% the various ABC and ABC Plus software.  Undoubtedly, I am also indebted 
% to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns.
%
% This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever.
%
% I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and
% I will take requests for hymns to add.  My decision of whether to 
% add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order):
% 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable
% 2) It must be a Christian piece
% 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly,
%    a MIDI file is usually a terrible source)
% 4) Whether I like the hymn :)
%
% If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please 
% send an email to me, I would love the help!  PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU 
% FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small.  I want to ensure that every 
% slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure 
% that there must be mistakes right now.

W: 6.From morn till eve my theme shall be
W: Thy mercy's wondrous measure;
W: To sacrifice myself for Thee
W: Shall be my aim and pleasure.
W: My stream of life shall ever be
W: A current flowing ceaselessly,
W: Thy constant praise outpouring.
W: I'll treasure in my memory,
W: O Lord, all Thou hast done for me,
W: Thy gracious love adoring.
W: 
W: 7.Enlarge, my heart's own shrine, and swell,
W: To thee shall now be given
W: A treasure that doth far excel
W: The worth of earth and heaven.
W: Away with the Arabian gold,
W: With treasures of an earthly mold!
W: I've found a better jewel.
W: My priceless treasure, Lord my God,
W: Is Thy most holy, precious blood,
W: Which flowed from wounds so cruel.
W: 
W: 8.This treasure ever I'll employ,
W: This every aid shall yield me; 
W: In sorrow it shall be my joy,
W: In conflict it shall shield me;
W: In joy, the music of my feast,
W: And when all else has lost its zest,
W: This manna still shall feed me;
W: In thirst my drink; in want my food;
W: My company in solitude,
W: To comfort and to lead me.
W: 
W: 9.Of death I am no more afraid,
W: New life from Thee is flowing;
W: Thy cross affords me cooling shade
W: When noonday's sun is glowing.
W: When by my grief I am oppressed,
W: On Thee my weary soul shall rest
W: Serenely as on pillows.
W: Thou art my Anchor when by woe
W: My bark is driven to and fro
W: On trouble's surging billows.
W: 
W: 10.And when Thy glory I shall see
W: And taste Thy kingdom's pleasure,
W: Thy blood my royal robe shall be,
W: My joy beyond all measure.
W: When I appear before Thy throne,
W: Thy righteousness shall be my crown-
W: With these I need not hide me.
W: And there, in garments richly wrought
W: As Thine own bride, I shall be brought
W: To stand in joy beside Thee.
