As now the sun's declining rays
Before the ending of the day
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: AM2013 #12 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray,
that with thy wonted favour thou
wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

from nightly fears and fantasies;

through Jesus Christ thine only Son,
who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
doth live and reign eternally. Amen. Topics: Evening; God Protection of Scripture: Psalm 3:5 Languages: English Tune Title: TE LUCIS ANTE TERMINUM
Before the ending of the day
At even, ere the sun was set
Author: Henry Twells (1823-1900) Hymnal: AM2013 #13 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set,
the sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we
oppressed with various ills draw near;
what if thy form we cannot see?
we know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel;
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved thee well,
and some have lost the love they had;
4 And some have found the world is vain,
yet from the world they break not free;
and some have friends who give them pain,
yet have not sought a friend in thee;
5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
for none are wholly free from sin;
and they who fain would serve thee best
are conscious most of wrong within.
6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man;
thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
thy kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide.
7 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
no word from thee can fruitless fall:
Hear, in this solemn evening hour,
and in thy mercy heal us all. Topics: Evening; Family and Friends; Healing; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus temptations; Rest; Sin; Wholeness and Healing Scripture: Mark 1:32-34 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS

no powers of darkness me molest.
