Author: Anna Hoppe; Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O world, see here suspended, His loving arms extended, They Savior on the cross! The Prince of life is willing, All righteousness fulfilling, To suffer anguish, scorn and loss. 2 O Thou, who hearts dost quicken, Why art Thou sorrow-stricken, Why all this nameless pain? While we must make confession Of sin and dire transgression, No sin on Thee hath left a stain. 3 'Tis I whom sins encumber, Whose misdeeds far outnumber The sands upon the shore; I caused Thy condemnation, Thy deep humiliation, And all the wounds that pain Thee sore. 4 The burden Thee molesting, The weight upon Thee resting, The heavy load is mine. A curse on Thee is pressing, That I may reap a blessing; Thy pain to me is balm divine. 5 My bondsman ever willing, My place with patience filling, And sharing all my guilt, A crown of thorns Thou wearest, And my disgrace Thou bearest, While saying, Father, as Thou wilt! 6 Death for a time must hold Thee, The grave, too, must enfold Thee, Lest I should be its prey; Death, who for me had tarried, Death now himself lies buried, And I shall live with Thee for aye.

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows All woodlands, fields, and meadows, The world in slumber lies. But thou, my soul, awake thee, To song and pray'r betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise. 2 The rule of day is over, And shining jewels cover The sky above so blue. Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful stay and true. 3 Ye members weak and tired, Enjoy the rest desired, The quiet sleep ye crave. There comes a time for sleeping In God's own faithful keeping, When ye are bedded in your grave. 4 My tired eyes are closing, And while I lie reposing, Soul, body, where are ye? To Thee be they commended, O God, till night is ended; Thy waking Eye watch over me! 5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, Thy pinions spread above me And shield me well from harm. Let angel guards attend me, And from the foe defend me, That I may rest without alarm. Topics: Morning and Evening Used With Tune: [Now rest beneath night's shadows]

Our God Eternal, Reigning

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our God eternal, reigning, creation's life sustaining, our refuge and our home; enthroned, in light surrounded, when earth was yet unfounded, the living God, to him we come. 2 We fade, a dream that passes, like withered meadow grasses when summer's sun has shone. Before that face all-seeing of God who gave us being, we pass away and we are gone. 3 O God of mercy, hear us, in steadfast love draw near us, from age to age the same; that we, be grace defended, when earthly days are ended, may live to praise a Savior's name.

O'er field and forest stealing

Author: Dr. A. H. Reynar, 1840-; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O'er field and forest stealing, Comes night, all eyelids sealing, And silence holds the air; But wake, my soul, before Him, And gratefully adore Him Who guards thee with a sleepless care. 2 The sun himself hath vanished, By conquering darkness banished, By darkness, foe of day; But Christ my sun ascendeth, New light and joy He lendeth To drive my spirit's gloom away. 3 The day declared His glory, The stars now tell the story, The marvels of His might, So, when this life is ended, I with the saints ascended Shall praise His love in endless light. 4 My body for its resting Of toil-stained garb divesting, In sleep, from care I hide, What dreams and visions cheer me! How Christ, my Lord, comes near me! And sets me by His wounded side. 5 With mind and body jaded, And eyes from watching faded, I long the day to close. Soon comes the time and hour When from all troublous power Kind death shall bring a sweet repose. 6 When eyes shall close for ever, When soul and body sever, What then for me remains? The God of my salvation Will, in His new creation, Give endless bliss for mortal pains. Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Evening Hymns Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK
