Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear

Hymnal: VoP1883 #10 (1883) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurn'd to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above. Amen. Topics: Evening; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY

Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go

Hymnal: VoP1883 #12 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go; Thy word into our minds instil: And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 2 The day has gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through lifs's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toil'd; And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Ah! never! let our works be soil'd With strife, or by deceit ensnarled. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; O let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Jesus, and our all. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 6 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be, Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. Amen. Topics: Evening; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: STELLA

When evening shadows gather

Hymnal: VoP1883 #19 (1883) Lyrics: 1 When evening shadows gather, And twilight gently fades: When all is still and silent In midnight's darker shades; Then, O my God, be near me, Do Thou protect my bed; From evil and from danger Let Angels guard my head. 2 We know not, when we slumber, That we shall e'er awake, To see another day begin, Another dawning break: But Thou art ever watching, Thou wilt our vigils keep, And, trusting in Thy mercy, We sink in peaceful sleep. 3 But, ere our eyelids closing, We humbly seek Thy face, And pray for Thy forgiveness, And Thy sustaining grace: For we are weak and erring, And need Thy mighty power; O Jesus, ever guard us In dark temptation's hour. 4 We pray for those who languish In sickness and distress, That Thou wilt soothe their anguish, And their afflictions bless: We pray for those in peril Upon the mighty sea; We pray for friends and loved ones;-- Do Thou their Guardian be. 5 And now to Thee we render Our thanks for mercies past, With grateful hearts imploring Thy favour to the last. And at the great awakening May we be found above,-- With saints and angels praising Thy providence and love. Amen. Topics: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: S. FULDA
