Round me falls the night

Author: William Romanis, 1824-1899 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #19 (2000) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics: 1 Round me falls the night; Saviour, be my light; through the hours in darkness shrouded let me see thy face unclouded; let thy glory shine in this heart of mine. 2 Earthly work is done, earthly sounds are none; rest in sleep and silence seeking, let me hear thee softly speaking; in my spirit's ear whisper, 'I am near.' 3 Blessèd, heavenly Light, shining through earth's night; voice, that oft of love hast told me; arms, so strong to clasp and hold me; thou thy watch wilt keep, Saviour, o'er my sleep.

The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #22 (2000) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended, the darkness falls at thy behest; to thee our morning hymns ascended, thy praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank thee that thy Church unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world her watch is keeping, and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking our brethren 'neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord: thy throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever, till all thy creatures own thy sway.

The duteous day now closeth

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #23 (2000) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth, each flower and tree reposeth, shade creeps o’er wild and wood: let us, as night is falling, on God our Maker calling, give thanks to him, the giver good. 2 Now all the heavenly splendour breaks forth in starlight tender from myriad worlds unknown; and man, the marvel seeing, forgets his selfish being, for joy of beauty not his own. 3 His care he drowneth yonder, lost in the abyss of wonder; to heaven his soul doth steal; this life he disesteemeth, the day it is that dreameth, that doth from truth his vision seal. 4 Awhile his mortal blindness may miss God’s loving-kindness, and grope in faithless strife: but when life’s day is over shall death’s fair night discover the fields of everlasting life.

Hark, a thrilling voice is sounding

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #26 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark, a thrilling voice is sounding; 'Christ is nigh,' it seems to say; 'cast away the dreams of darkness, O ye children of the day.' 2 Wakened by the solemn warning, let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, her Sun, all ill dispelling, shines upon the morning skies. 3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected, comes with pardon down from heaven; let us haste, with tears of sorrow, one and all to be forgiven; 4 That when next he comes with glory, and the world is wrapped in fear, with his mercy he may shield us, and with words of love draw near. 5 Honour, glory, might, and blessing to the Father and the Son, with the everlasting Spirit, while eternal ages run.
