God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826; William Mercer, 1811-1873; Richard Whately, 1787-1863 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #281 (1978) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 God, who made the earth and heaven,
Darkness and light:
You the day for work have given,
For rest the night.
May your angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet your mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us
All through the night.
2 And when morn again shall call us
To run life's way,
May we still, whate'er befall us,
Your will obey.
From the pow'r of evil hide us,
In the narrow pathway guide us,
Never be your smile denied us
All through the day.
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And, when we die,
May we in your mighty keeping
All peaceful lie.
When the last dread call shall wake us,
Then, O Lord, do not forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With you on high.
4 Holy Father, throned in heaven,
All holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given,
Blest Three in One:
Grant us grace, we now implore you,
Till we lay our crowns before you
And in worthier strains adore you
While ages run. Topics: Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS
God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
Now Rest beneath Night's Shadow
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #282 (1978) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow -
The world in slumber lies.
But you, my heart, awaking
And prayer and music making:
Let praise to your creator rise.
2 Lord Jesus, since you love me,
Now spread your wings above me
And shield me from alarm.
Though evil would assail me,
Your mercy will not fail me;
I rest in your protecting arm.
3 My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may he send you
And bid his hosts attend you
And through the night watch o'er your beds.

Descend upon us from above;

Your creatures as they were before.

True fount of life, the fire of love,
The soul's anointing from above.

We God's almighty hand behold;
While you with tongues of fire proclaim
To all the world his holy name.

And shed your love in ev'ry heart;
Your own unfailing might supply
To strengthen our infirmity.

And peace from your own hand bestow;
Upheld by you, our strength and guide,
No evil can our steps betide.
6 Oh, make to us the Father known;
Teach us the eternal Son to own;
And you, whose name we ever bless,
Of both the Spirit, to confess.

And Holy Spirit, with them one;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow. Topics: Pastors; Holy Trinity; Pastors; Pentecost Languages: English Tune Title: KOMM, GOTT SCHÖPFER

Author: T. E. Powell, 1823-1901 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #286 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Bow down your ear, almighty Lord,
And hear your Church’s suppliant cry
For all who preach your saving Word
And serve you in their ministry.
2 In mercy, Father, now give heed,
And pour your quick'ning Spirit’s breath
On those whom you have called to feed
Your flock redeemed by Jesus’ death.
3 O Savior, from your pierced hand
Shed on them all your gifts divine,
That those who in your presence stand
May form their lives to your design.
4 Blest Spirit, in their hearts abide
And give them grace to watch and pray,
That as they seek your flock to guide,
They too may keep the narrow way.
5 O God, your strength and mercy send
To shield them in their strife with sin.
Grant them, enduring to the end,
The crown of life at last to win. Topics: Pastors; Commemorations and Accoasions Pastors and Bishops; Pastors Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEINS

Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears nor pain or death.

Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life. Topics: Marriage; Marriage Languages: English Tune Title: O PERFECT LOVE

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #290 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heav'n.
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment giv'n.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And a promised grace made good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in his blood.
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss.
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of our mind;
And the heart of the eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the head.
4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus;
It is something more than all:
Greater good because of evil,
Larger mercy through the fall.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
