The silent moon is risen
Author: Matthias Claudius Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen,
The golden star-fires glisten
In heaven serene and bright;
The forest sleeps in shadow,
And slowly off the meadow
A mist si curling, silver-white.
2 The veil of night is closing
Around a world reposing
In calm and holy trust;
It seems like one still chamber,
Where weary hearts remember
No more the sorrows of the dust.
3 Behold the full moon beaming!
So round and fair 'tis gleaming,
Yet half is hid from sight.
So, oft on earth, deceive us
Things that now seem so grievous,
Because the half is veiled in night
4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping,
Half fearing and half hoping,
In darkness seek our way;
Our airy cobwebs spinning
With erring and with sinning,
Far from the mark we stray.
5 Thy saving health, O grant us,
Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us
In vain and fleeting show;
But child-like and confiding,
Follow Thy gentle guiding,
And in Thy paths with gladness go.
6 When death comes to release us
With kindly hand, and frees us
Ere life's a weary load;
Then, when earth's ties we sever,
Take us to Thee forever,
Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God!
7 The night's cool breath is creeping;
Brothers, in God's good keeping
Your weary eyelids close.
His grace from ill defend us,
And peaceful slumber send us,
And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes! Topics: The Catechism Evening Used With Tune: INNSPRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Anon. Ohio Synod Hymnal, 1880

The Restless Day Now Closeth
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Claus August Wendell Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The restless day now closeth,
Each flow'r 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 heav'nly splendor
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 While all in peace reposeth,
And starry night discloseth
The glory of the Lord,
My prayers and yearnings wander
To realms of glory yonder,
Where saints of God have their reward.
4 When life's brief day is over,
And twilight shadows cover
The last end of my way,
Dear Lord and blessed Saviour,
Forgive my heart's behavior,
And grant me Thou a brighter day.
Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening; Heaven Yearning for Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Nu hviler Mark og Enge
Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nu hviler Mark og Enge,
Og alle gaar til Senge,
Nu sover alle Mand,
Men du, min Sjæl og Tunge,
Op, op, I skal udsjunge,
Hvad eders Skaber tækkes kan!
2 Hvor er nu Solen søde?
Ak, monne Natten støde
Dig bort, som Lyset bar;
Jeg veed mig vel en anden,
Min Jesus, Frelsermanden,
Han skinner i mit Hjerte klar!
3 Nu just som Dagen endes,
De gyldne Stjerner tendes
I Himlens lyse Sal,
Saa skal jeg ogsaa prange
I Lys, naar jeg skal gange
Til Gud fra denne Jammerdal.
4 Til Sengen nu jeg træder,
Aflægger Sko og Klæder,
Saa sker ved Døden sidst–
Jeg kaster Klæder mine,
Men Jesus for sin Pine
Mig skjænker Ærens Klæde hist.
5 Mit Hoved, Fødder Hænder
De glædes, at sig ender
Det Stræv, jeg stod udi;
Sjæl, glæd dig! snart er kommen
Den Stund, fra Useldommen
Og al din Strid du vorder fri!
6 Saa gak, I trætte Lemmer,
I Jesu Navn og næmmer,
Hvor Hvilen den er sød!
Der kommer Tid og Stunder,
Man ogsaa eder under
En liden Seng i Jordens Skjød.
7 Nu mine Øine lukkes,
Og Sans og Samling slukkes
Hvor bli'r da Liv og Sjæl?
Tag dem udi din Naade,
Vær god for al min Vaade,
Du Øie over Israel!
8 Bred dine Vinger over
Din Kylling, mens han sover,
O Herre Jesu sød!
Vil Satan mod mig træde,
Lad dine Engle kvæde:
Sit Barn har Gud gjemt i sit Skjød!
9 I Venner allevegne,
Vor Herre eder hegne
Fra Fare een og hver!
Gud eders Slummer lette,
Og sterke Vagter sette
Om Sengen med sin Englehær! Topics: Særlige Salmer Aften; Special Hymns Evening Used With Tune: [Nu hviler Mark og Enge]
