Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Morning and evening hymns for a week by Charlotte Elliott" is a collection of Christian devotional hymns written in the Victorian era. It provides brief, meditative verse for personal worship, arranged for each morning and evening across a week, focusing on prayer, spiritual renewal, perseverance, and preparation for Sabbath rest. The book moves day by day from Sunday to Saturday, each hymn framed by a Scripture epigraph and voiced as a prayer. Sunday celebrates the “Sun of Righteousness,” asking Christ to shine on the church, the Word, loved ones, and the nations; the evening seeks Sabbath peace and fruit from the day’s worship. Monday’s pieces ask that Sabbath grace perfume the week and invite bold approach to the “throne of grace.” Tuesday urges the soul to run the race heavenward and take courage as salvation draws nearer. Wednesday calls believers to “watch and pray,” then comforts the faint-hearted. Thursday counsels guarding the tongue and rejoices in the quiet strength and peace found in prayer. Friday commends trusting God with past, present, and future and expresses a serene longing to be with Christ. Saturday prepares the heart for the Lord’s Day—laying aside earthly cares, seeking cleansing, and donning Christ’s righteousness—then closes with self-examination, repentance, and a plea for renewing rest. Throughout, the language is lyrical and petitionary, rich with biblical imagery and focused on holiness, consolation, and steady devotion.
