Evening

Hymnal: BW1867 #188 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Now from the altar of our hearts Lyrics: 1 Now from the altar of our hearts, Let flames of love arise; Assist us, Lord, to offer up Our evening sacrifice. 2 Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More swift, more free than they. 3 New time, new favor, and new joys, New songs of praise require; Till I shall praise Thee as we would, Accept my heart's desire.

Softly now the light of day

Hymnal: BW1867 #189 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee: 2 Thou, whose all pervading eye Naught escapes without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall for ever pass away; then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee: 4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

The mellow eve is gliding

Hymnal: BW1867 #190 (1867) Lyrics: 1 the mellow eve is gliding Serenely down the west; So, every care subsiding, My soul would sink to rest. 2 The woodland hum is ringing The daylight's gentle close; May angels round me, singing, Thus hymn my last repose. 3 The evening star has lighted Her crystal lamp on high; So, when in death benighted, May hope illume the sky. 4 In golden splendor dawning, the morrow's light shall break; Oh, on the last bright morning, May I in glory wake!

Glory to Thee, my God, this night

Hymnal: BW1867 #191 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light: Keep me, oh keep me, King of kings! Beneath Thine own Almighty wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That with the world, myself and Thee I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed: Teach me to die, that so I may Rise, glorious, at the awful day. 4 Oh let my soul on thee repose! And may sweet sleep my eyelids close-- Sleep that shall me more active make To serve my God when I awake. 5 If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply: Let no ill dreams disturb my rest-- No powers of darkness me molest. 6 Oh when shall I, in endless day, Forever chase dark sleep away, And hymns divine with angels sing-- Glory to Thee, eternal King?

Thus far the Lord has led me on

Hymnal: BW1867 #192 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on; Thus far His power prolongs my days: And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of His grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But He forgives my follies past, And strength supplies for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head: His ever watchful eye will keep Its constant guard around my bed. 4 Faith in His name forbids my fear; Oh may Thy presence ne’er depart! And in the morning may I bear Thy loving-kindness on my heart! Topics: Family Worship Languages: English

Another fleeting day is gone

Hymnal: BW1867 #193 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Another fleeting day is gone, Slow o'er the west the shadows rise; Swift the soft-stealing hours have flown, And night's dark mantle veils the skies. 2 Another fleeting day is gone; In solemn silence rest, my soul! Bow down before His awful throne, Who bids the morn and evening roll. 3 Soon shall a darker night descend, And veil from me yon azure skies; And soon shall death's oppressive hand Lie heavy on these languid eyes. 4 Yet when beneath the dreadful shade I lay my weary frame to rest, That night shall not make me afraid; That bed the dying Saviour pressed. 5 Again emerging from the night, I, like my risen Lord, shall rise; Again drink in the morning light, Pure at its fount above the skies.

Indulgent Father, by whose care

Hymnal: BW1867 #194 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Indulgent Father, by whose care I've passed another day, Let me this night Thy mercy share, And teach me how to pray. 2 Show me my sins, and how to mourn My guilt before Thy face; Direct me, Lord, to Christ alone, And save me by Thy grace. 3 Let each returning night declare The tokens of Thy love; And every hour Thy grace prepare My soul for joys above. 4 And when on earth I close my eyes, To sleep in Death's embrace, Let me to heaven and glory rise, T' enjoy Thy smiling face.

Inspirer and hearer of prayer

Hymnal: BW1867 #195 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Inspirer and hearer of prayer, Thou shepherd and guardian of Thine, My all to Thy covenant care, I, sleeping or waking, resign. 2 If Thou art my shield and my sun, The night is no darkness to me; And fast as my minutes roll on, The bring me but nearer to Thee. 3 A sovereign protector I have; Unseen, yet for ever at hand; Unchangeably faithful to save, Almighty to rule and command. 4 His smiles and His comforts abound, His grace, as the dew, shall descend; And walls of salvation surround The soul He delights to defend.

For a season called to part

Hymnal: BW1867 #196 (1867) Lyrics: 1 For a season called to part, Let us now ourselves commend To the gracious eye and heart Of our ever-present Friend. 2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer! Tender Shepherd of Thy sheep! Let Thy mercy and Thy care All our souls in safety keep. 3 In Thy strength may we be strong, Sweeten every cross and pain: Give us, if we live, ere long In Thy peace to meet again. 4 Then, if Thou Thy help afford, Ebenezers shall be reared, And our souls shall praise the Lord Who our poor petitions heard.

Omnipresent God, whose aid

Hymnal: BW1867 #197 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Omnipresent God, whose aid No one ever asked in vain, Be this night about my bed, Every evil thought restrain: 2 Lay Thy hand upon my soul, God of my unguarded hours! All my enemies control, Hell, and earth, and nature's powers. 3 Loose me from the chains of sense, Set me from the body free: Draw with stronger influence My unfettered soul to Thee. 4 In me, Lord, Thyself reveal, Fill me with a sweet surprise; Let me Thee, when waking, feel, Let me in Thine image rise.
